THE FAMILY PURSE.
X
If it were always full enough to
ne**d no consideration, how much
easier it would be for us all. But,
unfortunately, we must regulate our
desires to suit the size of the family
purse. It’s all right to be economi
cal, but in buying furniture there’s
a point where cheapness ceases to
be economy. Goods below this
point are dear, no matter how little
they cost. This class of goods WE
do not handle at all. We always
consider the welfare of the family
purse. We make its burdens lighter
by knowing what to buy, and
where, by taking advantage of all
price concessions, by sticking close
to the better class of goods. Give
us a chance to prove our claims to
you. W. T. Robinson.

A Letter to Iho.nas E. Wotason.
Dear Tom: 1 am a Farmers' Un
ion man and think we could do
some good if we had men to lead
us. Our secretary-treasurer receiv
ed a letter the other day from Char
ley Barrett, president of Farmers’
Union asking us to send ettWs to
Washington, D.C- while congress
was in session to help him in his
fright on the New York exchange.
“What a poor fool” He seems
to think we are getting too much
for our cotton, and a stop should lie
put to it. That is wh;it would
occur when the Cotton exchange is
put out of business. 1 have had
experience in this cotton business
as bookkeeper, taking down the
market as it travels those long, live
wires, and I found that the farming
class need men who have the money
to help them, not the man who has
his money invested in cotton mills,
foundries and railroads. His
money is tied up and he won’t
strain one nerve to help the laboring
class of people. The mill man
may have more stocks and bonds
on hand than he has invested in
different companies, and more
money, but he holds to this so he
can cut prices one way or the other.
If his dividend is too small he
will cut wages and work short hours.
More of this kind of work is done
in the cotton mill than anywhere
else. Why? To keep from paying
the farmers a high price for their
cotton. This has been proven to
be true in our home town.
Mr. Watson, if Charley Barrett
succeeds in getting Taft to do away
with cotton exchanges and takes
and takes the bulls and speculators
out of market how are we going to
sell our cotton? We know the cot
ton mills want it for a song. We
know they are the bears, and they
are governed by the state ex
changes and by the prices the ex
change put on cotton. A cotton
mill man will take a trip to the
ocean for one dollar, and if he
thought he could make two he would
wade the atlantic What do you think
about it? You understand the
situation. Wouldn’t it be six of
one and half a dozen of the other,
if we have to trust the cotton mill
man for the prices? I think the
farming class should deposit one
dollar or more where the bull
speculators can get it to hold cotton
for higher prices. In conclusion I
will say we new! the New York
exchange hull speculators and the
best moneyed men we can get to
help us. With the experience I
have had in the cotton business,
we farmers would just as well l>e in
hell trying to play Yankee Doodle
with a Bow —narrow fiddle as to
try to sell our cotton to the mill
men, for they Imv today for to
morrow, and this amount is all they
want. Hoping to hear from you
soon, I am yours trulv,
W. M. Fuller.

GUNNING FOR fOX. NOT SKUNKS
( 'll VTTANO<KiA , Fell. 7, ’lO.
Editor News: While gunning for
the sly old foxes in tlie woods
around Martin Institute, 1 chanced
to scare up a skunk —Louis N. Fos
ter by name. I had asked the ques
tion, “Is this Lnuiscnd Foster,”
etc., borrowing the expression from
Editor Craig, of the Gainesville
Eagle, and from a clipping just re
ceived from a friend, I notice that
the miserable little creature answers
“yes,” by tilling four short columns
in The Herald with falsehoods and
vulgar vituperation, yelping “ma
licious attack r ” ‘‘public assault,”
“ambush,” “assassin,” etc. The
interpretation IT attempts to place
upon the sobriquet is only the fruits
of a dwarfed mind, superinduced by
degeneracy, and yet The Herald
would have the people of Jackson
county believe him to lie ‘‘one of
the foremost educators of Georgia.”
My only reason for chunking a
pebble at this skunk was in ridicule
of The Herald’s policy of slobbering
over every cheap-skate who can be
used to advantage. I haven’t the
time nor you the space to bandy
words with an unprincipled cuss
whose chief delight seems to be in
acting the scapegoat for gumshoe
politicians who have not the hardi
hood to stand out in the open and
frankly and honestly defend their
acts of public concern. Further re
ply to this creature’s low personal
harrangue would not lie of interest
to your readers nor satisfactory to
myself at this distance.
My first question has been an
swered fully. The skunk lias been
uncovered and made himself known
to the people in his true colors.
Now, “Zaeharias,” ypu come
down from the sycamore tree and
answer the remaining questions in
that article: “Why did the trus
tees of Martin Institute treat the
little fellows so shabbily Last year
and so kindly this year? Did they
not need the money? Did a recent
decision of the supreme court, etc. ?
The editor of The Herald is himself
a trustee and should know the right
and wrong in the matter, yet he
says in speaking of the institute
“seems to be” in fine shape “so
far as attendance is concerned.”
Why so vague ami enigmatical?
Respectfully,
Duke Ross.
P. S.—The Herald space is plen
tiful. Let’t hear from you.
