HETTY ON A VAGATION
Traveled Into the Country With
Lunch in Her Pocket.
RIcH WOMAN IN DAY GOACH.
Women Caused Panic Craving for
puxury, Avers Mrs. Green. Over
taxes the Purses of Husbands and
pathers. Spendthrifts and Money
wasters Make Hard Times.
A Bellows Falls, Vt., dispatch to
The Chicago Record-Herald says:
Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest wo
an in the world, has gone on her
nnual vacation.
She started a week ago for her
month's pleasuring. Her destination
was Bellows Falls, Vt., where she
still owns the home in which she
lived as a bride. A servant and Mrs.
reen's daughter, Sylvia, went ahead
to open up the house and prepare for
her coming.
Mrs. Green had no worry about
baggage. So with a rusty black lawn
dress for a traveling suit, an equally
rusty black hat with rusty black
chrysanthemums set unsteadily over
her left ear, shading her stern face
and shrewd eyes, and her übiquitous
nand-bag clutched in her right hand,
covered with its rusty black cotton
glove, she boarded a Madison avenue
car for the Grand Central station.
Here she fell in line with other trav
elers and most certainly she avoided
the Pullman ticket office, making
straight for a day coach, in which
she settled herself for the long ride.
Day Coach Good Enough.
It is a six-hour run to Bellows
}‘al}s. and even a $25 a week clerk
taking his wife on a vacation would
pay $1.50 for the restful chair in a
Pullman car, but Mrs. Green does
not share this weakness. A day
oach is quite good enough for the
rlchgst woman in America.
When luncheon time came and the
first call from the diner echoed
Ehrough the car Hetty Green leaned
‘orward, dipped her hand into the
deep pocket of her rusty lawn frock
fmd drew forth an apple and a couple
‘rf' crackers. She bought neither
fWeets nor reading matter from the

“Times are bad in New York, and
New York deserves hard times. All
are spendthrifts, money wasters,
down there. I hear folk say that the
hard times will be over as soon as the
presidential election is settled. That
is not true. We will not see good
times, easy times, before spring. This
is going to be a hard winter. Ameri
cans are too extravagant—they have
got to pay the price.”
“What made hard times?’” is the
next question, and then Mrs. Green
fairly beams.
“Many factors contributed to the
present panic. Oh, I know all the
ins and outs of these financial flur
ries. They all have to come to me—
even President Roosevelt. A woman
may not vote—l am not saying I
want to vote, but if you are a woman
with money you are just as powerful
as a man with money. Money is the
real power /in the political situation
today.
Blames American Women.
‘‘And the women of America have
helped to make hard times. All they
live for, all they care for, is clothes—
the latest shape in hats, the newest
fangled skirts. And they are none
too particular how they get what
they wagt, or who pays for it. Oh,
I am no! saying the American wo
men are not moral. But I do say
that they do not care what price their
husbands and fathers and brothers
pay for the luxury and finery they
demand. More men are driven to
dishonesty by the white hand of the
woman stuck all over with jewels
than by their own love of horses,
rich food and gay times.”
“What are the moneyed men doing
to stop the panic?”’
“Nothing. It has got to run its
course. The Standard Oil Company
or John D. Rockefeller could stop
the hard times today with the stroke
of a pen, but they won't do it. It
will cost the United States govern
ment $28,000,000 to collect that
$29,000,000 fine.”
SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
THE FARMERS’ CO-OPERATIVE UNION.
The Georgia division of the Farm
ers’ Union has 2,500 local Unions,
and about 100,000 members. The
National Union is organized in twen
ty-six states, and has 2,500,000
members.
Its motto is Education and Co
operation. Its aim is to promote the
best interest of the farmer. It is
non-political. No official of the Un
ion can be a candidate for a political
office. He must resign his office in
the Union before he runs for any na
tional, state, county or municipal
place.

A NEW YORK PAPER'S INTER
ESTING DESCRIPTION o
THE NEW GOVERNOR.
Says He Is No Man's Man, and Will
Be the Most Independent and
Ablest Governor the State Has
Had in Thirty Years.
The New York Press gives the fol
lowing interesting description of the
new governor of Georgia:
There will be fun for somebody
when Joseph Mulligatawney Brown
takes his throne as governor of Geor
gia. ‘“Joe” is a wee bit of a man,
sleepy looking (but very wide
awake); with the head of a mummy
(chockful of brains), a reddish
beard, as thin and straggling as the
whiskers of a Chinese mandarin
(style a la Li Hung Chang); form—
scrawny; gait—slovenly; manners—
suave; eyes—blue-brown; weight—
-122 pounds; height—five feet seven
inches; age—about 51; phlegmatic
temperament; slow of speech; mild,
but severe when necessary; as long
suffering as Job; always a railroad
man; son of the famous war governor
of Georgia, old ‘‘Joe” Brown, who
made some millions, served four
terms as governor and then elected
himself United States senator.
Mrs. Joseph Emerson Brown was
a faithful wife and devoted mother.
Old Joe posed as a Cincinnatus of
the people. When his nomination
was cut and dried he disappeared
from the haunts of politicians and
was actually found in a wheat field
swinging a cradle which the commit
tee on notification called. At the
first state reception in the capitol in
Milledgeville, every dignitary being
present, Mrs. Brown appeared in the
parlor with an infant in her arms.
The women were terribly shocked (or
pretended to be), but all the men
bowed down to the mother in honest
‘admiration of her courage in nurs
ing little Joey while the straight
lacers scowled. The governor cared
nothing for the situation. He was
as plain and matter-of-fact as his
better seven-eighths, and frequently
‘paused in the midst of the festivities
to pat the infant on the head.
Exactly half a century later little
| Joey is elected governor of Georgia.
Perhaps every one at that reception
in 1858 is dead except the infant
himself, Joseph M. Brown 11. Cut
out the M. and call him as all Geor
gians do—Joe Brown. Hoke Smith,
the retiring governor, was an em
pioye of the new governor’s father.
Little Joe worked in Smith’s office.
Gov. Brown is a sincere friend. He
is as ugly as a goat, and admits it:
but he is a man of the old-fashioned
kind. His clothes don’t cost him $5O
a year, and his beard grows only
once in 12 months. He is as inde
pendent as Abe Lincoln, as silent as
Napoleon, as calm as Lucifer, and
as immovable as the Rock of Gi
braltar—or the American tariff. In
Joe Brown Georgia will have the
ablest Governor she has had in 30
years. Like Johnson, he is no man’s
man. He is of the earth—earthy.

’ The farmer will watch his growing
crop as carefully as he would a sick
|child, and then, after the cotton is
ginned, permit it to be badly baled
land rolled out into the open to take
the sun and rain as they come. It
‘is not an uncommon sight to see hun
dreds, even thousands, of bales of
icotton “parked” in the open air at
'a shipping point, the bales ragged
’and unkempt, and without protec
tion against water or fire; and the
}same sort of thing is true on a great
‘'many farms. The producer seems
to labor under the impression that
‘his duty to this crop ends when he
‘has got it picked and baled. He will
see the bales get soaked in a heavy
rain without ‘‘turning a hair,” or
he will see the bales rolled through
mud-puddles without entering a pro
test. But if he were to see a bug
in his growing crop he would have
a nervous chill. |
Bad baling inflicts a tremendous
loss upon the cottom growers everyl
vear. It is unreasonable to suppose
that spinners will pay as much for
a bale that is dirty and wet and rot
ten on the outside as they will for a
bale that is clean and dry. It is
against the very common-sense of
things that they should do so. In
dian cotton nearly always reaches the
spinner in excellent condition, be
cause great care is taken in the bal
ing of it and the bales are always
kept in good order. When the In
dian bale is broken open at the mill
there are not ten, twenty or thirty
pounds to be thrown out as unfit for
spinning, as is very often the case
with American bales.
Efficient packing of cotton, of
course, costs a little more than poor
packing, and there is some expense
attached to the erection of sheds.
But these added costs are, in the
long run, real economies. The Morn
ing News has touched upon these
matters many times, but it seems a
slow process to get the farmers to
fully appreciate the importance of
them.—-Savannah News.

extravagance. But it safe to say
that this fifteen hundred dollars

benefit than all the charitable work

CARELESS INDIFFERENCE OF
THE FARMER IN HANDLING IT.

While It Is Growing He Watches It
Like He Would a Sick Child,
and the Sight of a Bug Gives
Him a Nervous Chill.
Every year cotton farmers worry
themselves almost into nervous pros
tration over the matters of seed se
lection, excess of moisture, drought,
“firing,” ' army worms, rust, boll
weevil and a dozen other ills to which
the growing plant is subject. But
when the staple has come to maturity
and been harvested (in a more or
less careless and wasteful manner),
what do they do? From the boll to
the loom, or to the ship-side, do they
watch it as carefully and as jealous
ly as they do from the seed to the
boll? Not much! Beginning with
the picking and running through to
the final marketing there is a tre
mendous amount of waste, roughly
estimated to amount to more than"a’
million dollars per crop. The ‘“clean”
picker is the exception rather than
the rule. The average picker, hust
ling to get out the greatest number
of pounds in the shortest space of
time, leaves many ripe bolls un
plucked to take the weather and
drops other open cotton upon the
ground to be trampled and lost. In
hauling to the gin houses much more
cotton is lost through careless hand
ling. In ginning modern methods
have made the losses inconsiderable,
which is also true of baling. But
after the fleece is baled then follow
the greatest and most inexcusable
losses of all. The baling is not care
fully done, in such manner as to
preserve the contents of the pack
age in the best possible condition.
There is no standard or uniformity in
size of press boxes, nc standard of
density of compression and no stand
ard rule for covering that will keep
out moisture and dirt and prevent
what may for convenience be called
leakage.
