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. Carithers -lee.

Birdie Pate, Committee. W M. FULLER WHIFFS 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. Winder, Ga., Route 22. Off to New York. Mr. A. I). McCurry, accompanied by Miss King, are in New York purchasing goods and studying styles. Mr. .J. T. Strange and Miss Launa Arnold will join them to day. If this quartet can’t please the fastidious taste of the trading public hereabouts, then a move is in order. WE HA VE -THE- Best You Can Get 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. D. R. OF INTEREST TO YOU.
