American Soldiers the
World’s Best Fighters

TIEN TSIN. July W.-(Special Corre

over and order Is being gradually
restored. and now that the riot o( loot
lax Is 'tcutely a thing of the past, there
Is time to otecwe. hear ami write of
matters that escaped the most vigilant
of correspondents tn the heat of action
and subsequent chaos.
The city poems full of the wounded be
longing to the allied armies. Ry that 1
mean, nf course, the less severely wound

be en route. While there have be< ft some
cases of extra hardship for the badly
Wounded. ev« rvthing has been done that
could be done for them in the hard stress
of swift, terrible war.
Only the slightly or moderately wound
ed men are in evidence on the streets,
but there would seem to be enough of
them to make a formidable brigade. There
are men with bound up who have
lost a piece nf bone from the skull. There
are men who have h.id the tip of the nose
carried away by a Mauser ball. and there
are men who have lost teeth. But the
mo-t of these silglit wounds are not in
the head at all. but in lower parts of the
body. It is a common sight to see s6*-

How the Soldiers Fraternize.
One of the oddest sights to he se* n In i
Tlcn-Tsin today is the fraternal mingling .
ot soldiers belong ng to the dist.-rent
countrie s. Naturallr the t* n<l“ncy of the ?
Am. ri. .in and the English soldiers Is to
tri

In our army, and naturally enough, many
of these go over to talk with thy kaisers

the Russians do no? -«* ■ m to lw> as k—• .

The sam slhu shop Is where the sol

The French and Japanese drink but little |
of the sluff, while, on the other I’.n’i'l.
the American and English soldiers punish
considerable quantities of sam slhu. Ihe
Russian, if he has the money, consumes
more of the sam slhu than an Aincrlcan
and an Englishman together. But the
Russian is seldom seen drinking with the
men of olher nations. The Muscovite
endures social isolation here nt’d secma
not to dislike it. If a few Rusrians en
ter a sam slhu shop they frown at the <
men of other nations who seem bent on I

who walks in and out of the sam slhu
shops and seems as jolly as any one, I
wears a bandage over his head. He say: |
there is a bit of his skull missing, but
such a trifling thing as that bothers him
not In the least. He was one of the six
Americans liehind a small field piece in
the big fight of the 15th. One of the
heaviest Chinese shells struck the ground
fairly in front of the gun.
“It felt like nn earthquake, a cyclone

FARMERS OF TROUP
TALK ABOUT COTTON
LaGrange, Ga., September 5. —(Special.)
The farmers of Troup county held an en
thusiastic and a most successful meeting
yesterday, and Hun. J. Pope Brown, of
Pulaski county, had the pleasure of
speaking to not less than live hundred of
them in the courthouse. Before Mr.
Brown addressed tlie assembly the Cot
ton Growers' Protective Association was
called to order by the chairman, and
tile following resolutions were submitted
and unanimously adopted by them:
"For marly one hundred years Liver
pool and New York have llxid the price
ot American cotton, to subserve the in
terests of sp* cululors and consumers,
without regard to cost of production or
size of tlie crop, while tlie cotton grow
ers on their part have yielded to this un
just and oppressive exercise of pow 1 r.
Tlie Cotton Growers' Association ot Geor
gia iias lor its object tlie correction of
Hits evil—the price is to be fixed here on
a just basis, witli profits, and
not in New York ami Liverpool. Though
only a few months old, tills organization
is taking a deep hold on our people. It
was born of necessity, sprung from the
furnace of affliction, and is spreading all
over tile cotton belt. It deserves Hie
sympathy and warm support of every
southern man.
"From tlie best attainable information
in our possession, the present crop cannot
go beyoml ’.•JUHi.iiou bales, and we doubt if
it reaches tliat figure. A ten-miiiion crop
should readily bring 10 cents, while a crop
of 3,000,000 should command from 11 to 1-
cents. Therefore, be it
"Resolved, by t)i<> Cotton Growers' Pro
tective Association of Troup county,
"1. That it is tin- sense of this, the first
organization of th.- state, that our state
association should fix tin- price of ”’l3
crop at not less titan 10 cents, and should
President Jordan and Ills executive com
mittee, in view of th*: condition of the
crop, reeonilm ml 11 or 12 cents, we will
demand that figure. We want it unu<r
stooil that tin- num who make and own
i he crops ar<- The m* ii to fix tlie price.
"2. We call on the planters and asso< 1-
ations throughout the south to stand
firmly by tlie association as the only
means of belt* rir ’ their condition. 'I lie
power is In our li ids, tlie right is with
us, and justice is on our side; nnd If we
don't use this pow. r to break tlie letf* rs
of serfdom plac* d on the cotton grow* rs
by thus.- who have k pt US poor, th* ll
1.-t complaint cease and meekly bow un
der the burden.
"3. Many farmers will not tie able to
liol.l their crop . be anse of obligaUm s;
io such we point to ur banks plcdg*d to
this ass**e! iH*>n; d*'i it ill- cotton tick* t.-l
and draw enough mom-j- to meet pressing
demands.
"4. We eall on our countrymen through
out the south to . oinpletf their organiza
tions, no: only for this year, but to .<e
] erp.-tu.it< .I for al! time. Our own state
organization is doing i grand work Let
us hold up the hand;- of its officers loya.ly
;:iid patriotically.
"5. We eall 'll tin- newspapers to stand
by us ird give their mighty iniluen.-.- to
< ur cause an*l their cause, and the cause
of all the southern people.”
.Mr. Brown w -s then introduced to the
auilien*'.-, and l*r about one hour talked
to the farmers, giving them whole chunks
of good, solid, wholesome advice. He first
gave a running hist ry of the farmers
* rganizatlons. In many instances point
ing out their weaknesses, causing them to
tail, and he called on the farm, r.i ’c*
molit by their exp rl*Ti'’e, and in the or
ganization *>f the (lotton Growers’ Protec
tive Association to avoid the weak points
and have an org.-niza lion that will stand.
Mr. Brown called attention to the fact
tiiat th** whole southern cotton crop of
several millions of hales is marketed lit
ninety day . This point, he said, was first
forcibly brought to ins attention in a let
ter written by .Major Hanson, of Macon
Afterwards .Mr. Brown wrote a letter, and

What we mt st have is a pro ton th
of cotton every year, gradual* I ( ,
nature of the seasons, and consequ. nt
yield. If the crop be small, it has co.
relatively more per pound to l’ r< ' * ‘ J ;
because lhe expense is apt to be about the
same in the aggregate.
"Why t.s it that th*' planter has no
stock in mills, in banks and other e**.mo -
ations. Simply liecause there is no profit in
his results. He is entitled to them, and
should have ills shire. Give th.• la-mers
a good price for cotton, and they w..l b
mill owners, ami really get tw*. profits on
tlie staple, which they are justly the prop
er ones to receive.”
Mr. E. B. Clark, who is a great believer
in the cow, also made a talk, showing
what they can do with cattle in connection
with their farms, and advocated the
farmers -airing more cattle.
Tlie farmers of Troup county met just
one year ago today in mass meeting, when
cotton was down below 6 cents, and pass
ed resolutions demanding 8 cents for it.
The Constitution the next day. under big
head lines, published ihern t*> the world,
and all over this so'itiilami those resolu
tions were adopted verbatim in various
counties and states. Neillisni was put un
der the ban, and cotton went not only to
8, but to 3 and even 10 cents. In May the
farmers of Troup organized the first Cot
ton Growers’ Protective Association,
which is now being organiz 'd all over the
South.
Al> tut seventv-five names were today
added as members of the local associa
tion. Troup county's organization n«Y»-
numbers about three hundred of her best
and most progressive farmers.
Mr. George W. Truitt today brought in
twenty-live bales of cotton, and on the
first wagon, which was gayly bedecked
with United States flags, he had a large
blackboard, which had printed u|wn it,
"Ten Cents, or to the War* house We Go."
Cotton is only bringing 9 cents here, and,
of course, his eott*m went to th* - ware
house. I«u;t year Mr. Truitt demanded 8
cents when it was below 6. and finally got
9 and a fraction.
