HKtpvUP MAN WHO’S DOWN.
In Talk to Farmers Mr. Barrett
Gives Timely Advice.
President C. 8. Barrett of the Far
mers’ Union In a letter to the offl-
ceis and members says one of the
best Investments for a farmer Is
helping the man who’s down, wheth
er he’s a mem tier of the Union or
not.
He says: "If more men had help
ed each other over rough plnces
since the world began, civilization
and Christianity would be much
further advnneed than It Is today.
"The obligation to help the man
who Is down and out Is one of the
most sacred, and It Isn’t confined to
your fellow member of the Farmers’
Unton. In tho llrst place, you don’t
know when you may bo In the same
tlx yourself and in need of assist
ance. In the second, by helping to
put a man on his feet you are sav
ing yourseelf the expense of having
In* yourself the expense of having
to feed hlnuor hie family. So the
proposition cuts from the business
as well ns the philanthropic end.
I "In this country of quick chan-—
the mnn who you give a life to to
day may tomorrow be In a position
to help yon or the organisation. So
It’s good policy as well as a plain
matter of duty.
"I don’t think I ever sawn man so
far gone In meanness that I would
not try my best to give him evert a
little niy of light. The man or the
woman who la cast out by society
with the cry of ’Unclean, unclean!’
la the man and the woman who moat
need help,
“Yon are not going to’ soil your
hands by picking people ont of the
mire. You’re much more likely to
soil your soul and lose some good
opportunities In life by falling to
do It.
"One of the most beautiful feat
ures abont some of the secret orders
la that they never desert a member,
no matter how far he has strayed'
from the pathway. That ought to
be the motto of every member of
ttyL Farmers’ Union, from the big
gest leaders down to the newest
Joiners.
"We have a good deal of that
spirit now In the organliatlon. The
more we encourage tt the more we
enhance the prestige of the order
and live np to the principles upon
which tt Is founded.”

SENATOR TERRELL'S CARD
He was not Disappointed at the Act
ion of the Legislature.
Atlanta., Ga., July 13—Senator
Terrell Issued the following state,
ment th!« afternoon:
"I am neither surprised nor dto-
appointed at the result of the elec
tion by the legislature. Since the
executive committee declined to call
a primary in which the people might
be given an opportunity to express
their choice for senator, the result
Is as I apprehended. Had the peo
ple been given an opportunity to
make their own selection, they would
have overwhelmingly ordered a dif
ferent result, In my opinion. Not
jonly my friends realized this, but
the opposition conceded it by refus
ing to have a primary. To my many
friends throughout the state, and
especially those In the legislature,
who were so loyal to me in my race,
I shall always give the sincere thanks
of a grateful heart.”
The wreckage train on the Atlan.
tic Coast Line went through this
