TOBACCO FOR CHANGE


congratulations 1t is hard how
ever for an old dog to learn new
tricks all in one minute or the leo
epard to change his spots in a second,
and after crowd has been thinking
m practicable, nonsensical and COM
munistic stuff for so long a time that
It has become a part of their hide
Ind hoof, it is some job to get them
kght at one sitting. But we are pa
tient and hopeful.
There is one good sign, however,
the Co-Operator has shut off the
anarchist correspondents who have
been sending in the articles about,
bombs, and we have not seen of late
any more articles commencing the
course of Debs and glorifying that
fellow who is in jail for endeavoring
to prevent the draft when the nation
was at war.
But things are not exactly right
yet. There is still left a corre-
spendent by the name of Dunlap who
thinks the world is landed right on
his shoulders and unless he writes a
letter every week and tells the read
ers Of the Co-Operator all about
taxes, money and the way somebody
IS trying to gouge them he is not sat
7sied. We wonder if the farmer
readers of the Co-Operator ever won
der if the editors of that paper ever
think they have sense enough to get
out of the rain They seem to think
SO by telling the farmers a lot of
stun every week that every sensible
farmer knows is not true, and yet
they expect them to believe it. For
4urately for Wilson county our farm
ers have too much brain in their
heads to believe such rot.
This fellow Dunlap talks about
taxes, and in a way to make the
farmer who has bought a small farm
during the past few years dissatis-
fled because land has risen in value,
and yet what in Dunlap going to do
with the farmers who have prof1ted
by the rise. They have sold their
land for a better price, and have
helped their brethren who have not
been able to own a farm by dividing
mir big farms with them. These
BE farms in time past have proven
i loss in a measure because they
have not been as profitable as the
small farm intensively cultivated. Oh
the .otffer hand the farmer whc
bought a small farm purchased i
during the high price of produce ant
is therefore able to pay for it will
the fruit of his labor. In other words
nothing can please the man who i
always trying to find fault, but il
the words of farmer who was talk
ing to US the other day about tn
matter in the Co-Operator, 'It car
ries more fool stuff to the squar
inoh than any paper 1 ever saw"
= The stuff they are writing abou
money in answer to the "Me too" pa
pers which means such as the Time
that are following other papers whic
it says have been bought and pal
for which no one believes not eve
the Co-Operator, says there is nott
ing in the Confederate money argT
ment, and that the nation fought tn
war on fiat money Well the Cor
federate government fought its we
on fiat money until it could not &c
the gold to redeem that paper none
and then it stopped fighting. 1t
the same story of the man who hs
the money and the man who has no
When his money gives out he quit
business.
The Co-Operator says that "
could use tobacco to pay debts. VIII
sof course. You could take a hand
ful of good .tabocco with you whe
you went after pound of sugar, an
get the sugar and a half pound
common tobacco back in change, bl
how large would your pocketboo
have to be to carry your chang
around in.
We hope to live to see the ds
when the Co-Operator will quit tn
tom-fool rot and tell the farmer
how to make more cotton and toba
co rather than trying to get them di
satisfied with everything that h,
been running all these years and hi
been found to work all right throue
