8. BARRETT.
Head of Union Makes An
swer to Statements of
Harvie Jordan.
President Charles S. Barrett, of the
National Fanners' Union, has Issued |
card which la a reply to the statement
recently made by Harvie Jordan, presl
dent of the Bouthern Cotton Assocla
tlnn. retarding "that trip to Europe!
Mr. Barrett's communication fol!owa:|
“Mr. Jordan puts himself to a great]
deal of trouble occupying two cold
umns In the newspapers In trying to
convict me of having talked with him
concerning the European trip, for
which, he aays, be engaged passage
for both of us. Mr. Jordan could have
saved himself a great deal of trouble
by not arguing the question, for 1
would have made no Issue with him on
his simple statement of facts.
"The truth of the matter Is simply
this:
"According to Instructions from my
people, I went to New York In re
sponse to a call from Mr. McCall, who
was the president of the last confer
ence between the growers and the spin!
ners. Mr. Jordan was there also, and]
. Incidental to the conference with Mr.
McCall, tho International convention
at Vienna was discussed. It etas sug
gested that both Mr. Jordan and 1 go.
and In the conversation that followed 1
expressed my willingness to do so.

1 left New York and went to the
ddc coast In extending the organiza
tion of the Farmers' Union.
“Opposed to Mr. Jordan.
“The sentiment among the members
of the Farmers' Union In every South-
! em state Is violently and overwhelm
lngly antagonistic to Mr. Jordan. They
have absolutely no confidence Ip him.
The rank and file of the association
will never get over his Intimate asso
ciation with Mr. Hoadtey, tho Wall
street speculator, who boldly proclaim
ed that lie was In constant touch with
the cotton developments In the South
through Mr. Jordan.
“The truth Is. Mr. Jordan and a few
of his newspaper organs took unlust
advantage of the fact that while In
New York I treated Mr. Jordan as a
gentleman. We were both Invited to
the same conference, and naturally
conducted myself In a gentlemanly
manner toward him. The next thing I
heard waa that Mr.. Jordan and hie
friends were plastering tho whole South
with newspaper reports indicating
effect, that I had entirely reversed my
position os regards Mr Jordan—for If
we were going to Europe with our srml
around each other, as plctorlslly pre-

sented. I could not have been sincere
In all I had said about him previously.
No Common Causa.
“I have not one word to retract In
anything I have heretofore said about
Mr. Jordan. I reiterate every state
ment. There Is no common cause be
tween tbe Bouthern Cotton Association
aa at present offlceyed and tbe Farm
era' Union. Oura Is an organization of
farmers banded together for the sire
gle cause of getting the best results
possible out of the products of our toll.
Theirs Is a nondescript organization
of speculators, spinners and apparently
everybody else who wants to Join. V
Is naturally to the Interest of the spin,
ners to buy their cotton aa low aa
they can get It. It Is to our Interest
to sell for the highest price we can
get for It. Whits we propose to be
Talr with the spinners, ws see no com
mon cause that would Justify us In
letting them tlx the price st which we
ere to sell and they are to buy. If
we had listened to them a year ago
the farmers of ths South would have
lost millions and millions of dollars,
further, the Bouthern Cotton Assocla
tlon begged and entreated us to tlx
10 cents as the maximum price for
which cotton was jo be held. We In
sisted upon 11 cents, positively and
firmly refusing to bs led Into the
cent trap, which, In our opinion, waa
set by Mr. Hoadtey. We stood for
U-cent cotton, and ths result Is that
every cotton farmer In the South has
had an opportunity to get 11 cents
for Ills cotton, and today It Is far above
that. '
“Will Not Bs Along.”
“I have nothing more to say In ref'
erenco to the matter of Mr. Jordan's
European trip. He la welcome to taka
It If he wishes to do so, but I will
hot be along.
“There Is not a cotton farmer In the
South who Is not onto Mr. Jordan's
game, and It la no wonder that the
record of the past year has been
enough to practically annihilate his
organization and'dr I vo It out of Geor
gia, where Mr. Jordan Is best known,
t Is today nothing more than a mem
ory. and the farmers of the South are
coming to the Farmers' Union so fast
that It Is difficult for us to keep'up
with Its enrollment. They know wo
are not fooling them and that we are
an'organisation of farmers standing for
the Interest of the fanners. That la
the fundamental principle of our plan
of action, end the life of no organisa
tion was ever more Justified by events
than ours has been. Its record speaks
for Itself, Just as does that of the of
fleers of ths Southern Cotton Associa
tion speak for tt.

GREAT WHITE PLAGUEi
CONTAGIOUS SCOURGE
Washington. May 7.—The National
Association for the Study and Pre
ventlon of Tuberculosis, In third annual
session hero, discussed the theories of
tubercular Infection.
Dr. Charles Hunter Dunn, of Bos
ton, said In early life tuberculosis did
not affect the lungs as It did In the esse
of adults, but frequently remained hid
den In the Internal glands In children
until an acute form of tuberculosis,
meningitis, or pneumonia caused death.
He declared that children have no pow.
er of resistance against these acute
outbreaks, and that small babies show
ed no tendency toward the heajing of
the lesions.
He mentioned the various theories
that It was congenital, due to dust, or
moist systems, and said that while
there was truth In all of them, the
commonest source was house conta
gion from tubercular surroundings. In
the order of frequency, he said, tuber
culosis entered the body through the
lungs, through tbe Intestines, or
through the tonsils and the pharynx,
and then located Itself In the nearest
glands.
Finally he spoke upon the subject of
Immunizing a person against tubercu
losis by means of vaccination.
Dr. Henry L. K. Shaw, of Albany. N.
Y., argued that the usual method of
acquiring the disease waa through the
contagion of man to man. and not
threti-h milk and other foods.
BOISE, IDAHO, SERENE

Whether Specific Facts

Boise. Idaho, May 7.—Governor Good
tng Is angered at reports appearing in
various parts ofthecountry to the ef
fect that Boise Is filled with armed
men; that fears are entertained for the
safety of the state's witnesses In the
Haywood trial, and that the Federal
cavalry at Fort Boise Is held In read!
ness for action. In case of an outbreak.
The governor. Sheriff Hodgtn, Prose
cutora Hawley and United States Sena
tor Borah denounce such reports
ridiculous,, and stats authoritatively
that neither the prosecution nor the de
fense has or needs any gun fighters.
Tomorrow Judge Wood will settle
whether or not the prosecution must
furnish the defense with' specific In
formation as to the acts and conspira
cies In which Haywood participated in
the qleged scheme of the Western Fed
eration of Miners to dynamite and mur
der mine owners and civil officers.
Witnesses from Cripple Creek, men
who served as deputy sheriffs and mill

Governor Peabody, are here, and more

Steve Adams, who was expected to
corroborate Orchard, has retracted his
confession and Orchard knows It. If
the latter should decline to mako this
confession on the witness stand
would be a startling denouement of this
rated case. The state's officers
refuse to discuss any such contingency.

Hat Reason to Take Coffee Out of Hoi-

After drinking coffee pome yean, I
became badly run down In health, had
oerloue Indigestion, flatulency and ner-
vousncei, with severe spells of sick
headache.
"My physician advised me long ago
atop drinking coffee, but I raid It
would be an impossibility, that I would
rather do without my braakfast and
have my cup of coffee.
"About six months ago I tried Postum
Food Coffee nnd made It strictly ac
cording to directions. I was so de
lighted with It that I Immediately dis
continued coffee and began using Pos
tum. I have not had a pound of coffee
my house since and never expect to
again. All symptoms of Indigestion
have disappeared entirely and my
nerves are growing stronger every day.
My weight has Increased about twenty
pounds and I now weigh more than I
er weighed In my life.
"I have known people to try Postum
and throw It aside, for the reason thm
they made It carelessly. It has a deli
cious flavor and Is dark and rich us
Mocha or Java, If properly boiled, but
not boiled long enough it Is tasteless.
Put a piece of butter In a pot. the slse
' a navy bean, to prevent boiling over.
"My husband's weight has Increased
thirty pounds since he began drinking
It, and my littl* boy, who lira been
very delicate and did not eat as chil
dren usually do. used to dtink coffee
breakfast. After I gave him Postum
