as “The Southern Negro Anti-Sa

to he the intention to make the af
fair an epoch in the history of the
negro race in the south. The pro
gramme includes an address by
some of the south’s ablest men,
both white and black. The com

says: “We are determined to
prove to our worthy white friends
that we are as profoundly concern

The only method for the negro to
adopt is for them to stand by the
best elements of the white race,
who are their best friends.

The Real Farmer.
Yorsevill, (S.C.) Enquirer.
A wise old merchant .of York-
ville, used to tell his clerks: “It
doo3 not require a salesman te sell
a plug of tobacco. Anybody can
do that. The sale is already jnade
in fact. The customer merely c^lls
ior the tobacco and the salesman
only takes the money. The real
salesman is the man who can take
up a useful article about wbieh the
eustomer knows nothing, points
out its merits and its value and
make a sale.”
There is lots of valuable food for
thought in this observation, which
can be [applied with equal pro
priety to varion i other liaes of en
deavor. It does not take a farmer
for instance, to raise ten bushels of
corn on fresh, new ground. Any
body can do that. The real farm
er goes in for making forty or six
ty bushels of corn on comparative
ly poor land, and he does not think
of st ipping^there. After raising
the corn he goes in for saving and
utilizing every penny of value that
comes with the crop. The corn,
fodder, shucks to hand, he does
not want to sell them as raw ma
terials. if instead he can put them
through horses, mules, cows, hogs
and pigs, and thus derive still
greater value from them. The real
farmer makes every move on the
theory that he is in the business
for life, knd along with products
that are directly exchangeable for
money values, ^he looks out for
things thatjpromise value in the
future. The possibilities open to
the farmer—-any farmer—are lim
ited only by his industry, perse
verance and capabilities.
For Cotton Farmers.
The most practical suggestion
that has emanated fre m any organi
zation of farmers for increasing the
consumption of cotton is that made
at the convention of delegates of the
various branches of the Georgia
Farmers’ Union in Atlanta on Mon
day. The suggestion is that every
member of the union in all the states
have a suit made of cotton for wear
while at home engaged in farm work
or in overseeing his farm.
It is stated that there are approx,
imately three millions ©f farmers in
the union. It would take a great
many yards of cotton cloth to make
a suit of each one, and a new suit
would be required each year. The
The cost of such a suit would be
small. It would be well within the
means of every faamer. If a coat,
vest and pantaloons **ere not de
sired at least a sort ot frock, coming
just below the knees and caught
about the waist by a belt, would be
lie a very useful garment. It would
help farmers to keep clean their
more costly clothes.
There still continues to be talk of
cotton bagging iustead oljute bag
ging as a wrapper for eolton With
regard to it we said sometime ag®
that if it were a prac.icabie wrap
ping it would have been in general
use long ago. It will he recalled
that it was tried a few years ago and
abandoned. - It waa found that the
tendency of the farmers wa s to use
cloth of too light weight, and oonse.

The suggestion that farmers adapt i Estate are requested to make immediate
cotton sails for home wear is the payu3 ' ;nt3 - This December 4 A, .908.
most practicable that has yet been
made to accomplish the purpose
aimed at. The only difficulty in the
way is that of getting the farmers
to wear suns of that kind. No doubt
a few would readily comply with a
resolution of the organization re
specting cotton suit-, but it is doubt
ful if the number would be large
enough to make ail appreciable dif
ference in the coasumption of cotton.
A big maaket'is awa ting cotton
in China. There are scores ot mil
lions of people in that country with
out practically any clothing of con
sequence, and who would like noth
ing better than one cotton suit a
year. If our cotton goods were
brought oloser to the homes of the
people ot China the price of cotton
would advance a cent, and perhaps
two cents, a pound. While ttu>
question of suits for members of tb®
Farmers’ Union is ponding, why Det

market for cotton? —Savasnah Sows.
A Revolutionary Resolu
tion.
Atlanta Constitution.
If the Farmers Union' in Georgia
carries out con- cie«tio«sly the meas.
ares adopted at tne recent state
meeting in itlant:-, it will have in’
augurated a campaign which should
go far toward solving indefinitely
the vexed annual problem ot fair
prices for cotton.
The seven hundred-odd members
present at the meeting pledged them
selves to raise during the coming
year all the corn, meat and other
supplies necessary ior the suste*-
nance o. man and beast, They al
go agree, while at work in the field
and about the house, to wear sails
made of cotton.
These two measures, which have
in fc them nothing of agitation or
theoretical propaganda, may be
made to foreshadow almost a com
plete revolutionizing of agriculture
m Georgia.
They mean primarily, that much
of the acreage given ov
er to the pi eduction of cotton will
be invested in the raising of home
supplies, for which the overwhelm*-
mg majority of the farmers now pay
cash prices or incur indebtedness
as the embarrassed or “distressed”
security. They mean that hundreds
of thousands of dollars sent annual
ly out of the state fnr these common
dities will be retained within our
borders. They mean, also, that the
farmers will work gradually to those
diversified methods which insure
net one, but two‘ three or several
staple and absolutely reliable money
crops.
The action regarding cotton elott
ing isdiardly less important. If carx
rieJ persistently into effect, it sigui*
fies an appreciable mcrease in the
consumption of the fiber and subse
quent higher and more uniform
prices.
Practical progress dictates that
the state movement be made a na
tional on*. Mutual self-interest al
so suggests that the business men
cooperate heartily in the material*
ization of the crusade.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, <'iat Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
nnd every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold- water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, a*d overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times daring ilie night. The inild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
i on should have the best. Sold by drug
