 SIXTH IN DULIN'S QUARTERS
 The Sixth Division have established their headquarters in the series of quarters formerly used by Col. Charles L. Dulin, constructing quartermaster at Camp Mcclellan, and great activity is discernible on every hand.
 Lieut.. Col. J. N Pickering, the chief of staff of the Sixth division, is well known in Anniston. During the Span ish-American war he was a second lieutenant of volunteers and was sta tfoned at Camp Shipp, He was attached to the First infantry, and was stationed here for several months before going down into Cuba to help straighten out things down there.
 Col. Pickering was graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1896, and it is significant that Lieut. Col George s. Goodale, the chief of staff of the Twenty-ninth division, graduated the same year, and both the officers occupy the same relative positions in their respective divisions
 After leaving Anniston in 1898 Colo nel Pickering was made a first lieu tenant, and it was while on duty on l the Island of Samar that he was made a captain of infantry, serving thus for l 10 years. Three years ago he was sent ! to the Mexican border with the Six l teenth infantry, and following this was | assigned to duty in the canal zone. | About 60 days ago his commission as ! lieutenant colonel was issued, and he | was then named as chief of staff of the 1 sixth division.

THE SPECULATIVE FARMER.

Farmers are. TO be exempted from
legislation directed against food hoard
ing and specializing so far as their
own crops are concerned. That is
natural and right. 1t would not do TO
deny the farmer the privilege of hold
ing the products of his own toll until
he felt like selling them. II would
make him a slave, and would discour-
age production We had better leave
it to the farmers own needs and de
sires to get his crops thrown into the
market.
That is. provided the farmer doesn't
make himself the accomplice of GRIM
inal spectators, and doesn't organ
ize himself and his fellow-farmers in
to speculative ring.
When the great "onion corner" was
broken up last spring by the indict-
ment OF several dozen master.specula-
tors, it was found that the specula-
tive ring controlled 2,000 .0Ge bushels
The offenders did not have that many
bushels. They had no visible holdings
at all. The onions were in the cellars
of the farmers who had raised them.
The spectators had managed their
corner by the simple device of Offer
ing the farmers whatever they asked
for their product, and getting them to
agree to keep it until it was demanded
and paid for.
The farmers were essessentill
part of the monopolistic conspiracy as
the men who engineered it. Ii was
their acquiescence that made 1t pos
sible. They could not be touched
Possibly they couldn't be blamed
for the part they played. It isn't hui
man nature to refuse good price for
ones own product But there's some
thing wrong in anti-speculating laws.
And suppose the farmers choose to
agree among themselves that each
shall hold his own wheat or potatoes
or apples until he gets a specified
price what is the moral and legal as
pect OF that?
