A Boon to the Farmer.
Viewing the scarcity of lulao
■from certain standpoints we art
very apt to conclude that it i
;'greatly to our disadvantage, hut
not so when we tnk<* into consid
eration the fact that tins scarcity
of labor is an important factor in
keeping down the over-product ion
t»f cotton. Willie we do not at
tneli much importance to “luck
about as much good luck over
takes a man a« had luck, it would
seem. So tin) man who attributes
’all Ins misfortunes t<> “bad luck
had just about as well take a seat
and quit grumbling, Glider pres
* Mit labor conditions «v« arc in our
yenitli. The price of cotton can
very easily lie kept in the farmer’s
favor.
A Two Cent Advance In Cotton
Is just wlint every farmer thinks
la* needs and is within their power
•.lo bring about such a henificont
iulvnncu in price but. will they do
.it ? That is the quest ion.
To use cotton for manufactur
ing bags to put up fertilizers in
and for manufacturing cotton
..duck to wrap our cotton in it is
estimated would require 2,000,000
. bales annually. Such an increasi
in tho demand for cotton would
. udvance the price at least two
cents per pound.
At the spinners’ and farmers’
im * ting in At lanta several months
• ago llie spinners expressed a pref
erence for cotton covtwvd with cot -
. ton cloth. Isn’t it strange that
tin* turmers do not satisfy tln
. preferonee? It is up to them—
they can do so if they wish. Tin
. farmers, just as any other class of
< people, have a right, to look out
for their flits*rest and increase
their business in a paying manner
when it can is* legitimately done.
Sit Sternly iii llu- Host.
Members of the Farmers’l’nion
need at all times to be very cau
tious end watchful. Wo are taught
io the flood Hook bo wnieli ;is w.-ll
as pray, and out he blown about
by every wind of doctrine. Cau
tiousness and conservatism should
characterize our every act tliero
fore. Then wo would have noth
ing to fear. The mourners' bench
would be always well nigh empty,
and wo could command n higher
degree of respect from those who
keep a bo rut inizing eye upon us.
Ignorance Thai Hurls.
There are several different
guides or classes of ignorant peo
ple. We need not mention all
these grades. Two are sufficient
for the present. Wo i'hii lull sym
pathize with lots of |s*ople in th<*ir
ignoraude and from their straight
forward manliness and theirVng
erness to accept light and truth
we Jiave hope for their individual
improvement, and we extend a
helping hand whenever opportuni
ty affords. I'his is tho class from
wham self-made nioirooiuo. There
is another class however that an
ignorant, they know it. but th.-v
pride themselves upon being ig
norant. and bond every energy m
t lying to keep out light and truth.
They are putted up on account <d
their ignorance and proud of the
fact that they are ignorant. Tile
lirst class are usually very friend
ly to teaoh«*rs and are always tiieir
friends; the syeond class are very
seldom on lricudly terms with
teachers, and seeing no good in
them become their bitterest ene
mies. This class would not cross
the road to bear a man deliver a
lecture on any subject, no matter
of what vital iuq>ortance. They
are ignorant, they know that, but
t lien they think they know enough.
The one hunger* and thirsts for
knowledge—tho other spurns it.
Hope for their improvement is
hope m vain.
Now. brother farmer, do you
fall in either of these cl asms? h
is hoped you belong to tin* first
class, if you lielong to either. Too
many it would seem belong to the
second class. They know a plenty

Ter Present Price of Corn
Indicates something about the]
profit |here is m diversified farm
ing. The Montgomery county j
farmer who raised corn last year
to sell and who yet has it on hand

j one else for his corn at more now i

Not knowing the at I it udo of the ,
I Farmers’ I nion in reference to the
proposed county fair lor next fall
we cannot voice the sentiment ol
that orgamzat ion. Personal I ,hovw
ever, we are very much in favor of
tho county fair. Such an enter
prise would be uplifting from an
educational standpoint, and re
flect credit on our county. No
1 class would receive more benefit
from it t ban t he farmer.

Putting It Concretely.
Although Mr. Lawton was wont
to indulge in u sort of language
whidr left Ids hearers in some doubt
as to his exact meaning, yet when
lie was “put to it” lie never failed
io make himself understood. ,
“Vo, I shouldn’t want to live iu t
h house like Philatider’s,” he an-1
nounced to Mrs. Lawton on the
evening of Ids return from a visit
to a nephew, “llis cellar, now
it'.- most desperately overflowed
whenever the weather is anyways
damp.”
".lust what do you mean by des
perately overflowed?’’ asked Mrs.
1 .aw ton.
“I mean,” said her husband mild j
Iv, “that all they had to do was to
open the door that led from the
kitchen down cellar, and the ap
I pies come floating right m on to the
} Kitchen Hour. Is that plain to ye?”j
Paying Debts In Japan.
foreigners in Japan had a great
opportunity to purchase curios at
the beginning of cadi new year,
lam one in Japan is expected to
clear up his books and pay bis debts
hv the last dnv of the old year. The
tradesmen send in tl.eir yards
more often miles of fiiyl.-. to “the
honorable ludv of the house," and
presents a*-.* politely exchanged all
around Shopkeepers hold bargain
sales to enable them to pay the
whole-ale houses, and if a man can
not raise sufficient money to pay
his creditors it is not an uncommon
tiling for him to sell off sufficient
nr even all of his property at a sac-]
nine to enable him to meet the new
year with a smiling face. The only
other honorable way out of his diffi
culties is for him to commit suicide.

that threats amounted to nothing,
he at Ia -1 offered to buy it, even at
a considerable advance upon the
