We do not care for his holding an of fice: we nre not Interested In the little pile that he gets, for hut few of them ever get rleh off of the salary. Are we going Into polttks? Why. most as suredly we are not. I will admit that there are numhern and numbers of poll tletans that do not want to see the Farmers’ Union succeed. They are afraid of tho mighty power that tt wields. They fear that If they should sell their vole or their Influence-lor money that the Farmers’ Union might advertise the matter, end playing poli tics Is one kind of business that is afraid of tho advertiser. Steer Clear of Polities. "You atk me 'can the politician hurt tho Fanners’ Unl&n?’ I want to say to the members of tho unlqn: It i/.— pends altogether upon you. I do not know the politicians of your county, hut I darn say that they are Just about as lindly mixed with good and bad on the politicians of any other county, and 1 do not doubt but that there arc poli ticians In this comity today that will watch even - possible chanee to try anil lead the Farmers’ Union Into politics. Can they do Wt I know the rules of this organisation too well to think tor one minute that It Is possible, but ' can not help but feel that It Is neces sary for me to’ warn you against the next step of tho politician, snd hear me. auil do not misunderstand what 1 say. There are politicians scattered throughout the slate of Georgia III the different respective eouiilles that, when they find they can not lead the Farm ers’ Union Into politics, they will make another attempt. This attempt will first be made by attacking the officers of (ho organisation, the county so,S’, tary, or county president, or district secretary, or district president—any body, anywhere, Just to attack some body within the ranks of the organi sation—by which they will hope te destroy the usefulnets of the organi sation. Shall they succeed In tills? Shell they, by this moans, deatroy the uaetulness of the organisation: destroy Its power nnd Influence, until they (tf$ politicians) will not tear to oppose Its moatures and lusuos? Investigate Reports. "My brethren, It rests with you. I warn you thut If tho politicians bealu to peddle In this county dlsreputlng news, concerning nny member. Indi vidual or officer, pay no attention to them, so far as the public Is concerned, but go quietly behind closed doors, lulte the member or members about which the bad news bus been circu lated, make a thorough Investigation, cither tn an open body, wblch, as 1 said, Is behind cloned doors, or by n special committee, appointed by-the or. ganlzution, nml. regardless „» tvnat you find, keep It behind closed doors, and do not. under any rlreuinstances, allow It to get into the public presa.

If the Farmers' Union pursues this courao ns to going into politics, and then will pursue the reurse aa outlined when II gets to dealing with brethren about whom the reports have been circulated you will block the efforts of the old politicians to destroy the power and In. fluence of our organisation. yi would have you to understand that the politicians are not alone guilty (n this, but the monied Interests of the world. who ore opnoeej to tho system and plans of the Farmers’ Unto* .

Keep Price Up. “Enough'about that. The Farmers’ Union la doing many things In a co operative way. You ask nm wlmt they are. My answer to you, my brother, la, Join the union and find out We havo already eared our people by co-opera tion on other commodities, besides our co-operation In tho handling of cotton, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and we will rontlnue lo save them more, but I have no pntlence to argue with the farmer who has been watching tho movements of the Farmers’ Union for three years nnd Is not yet convinced thnt he should Join the organisation.

You ask me how? Agents in Europe. "My answer to you Is, remain on the outside of the organisation and wnke up some day In the very near future and find yourself confronted by the most thorough and complete financial system that has over been placed be fore tbe people of this country. Will It be u trust? Will it be In violation of the anti-trust laws? No. my son: no. •Our plans are being drafted by the best skilled lawyers of our country, and they nre Instructed not to try to find a way by which we con violate the anti trust law nnd escape prosecution, lint they nre told to drart them In such a way aa they will not violate the anti trust law. "Some ono Is ready lo ask mo will the spinner buy his cotton from you? Sty answer Is, yes. or sell out his mill. Will wo be unreasonable? We have never been, nnd It la contrary to every principle and every law of the Farm ers' Union for It lo be unreasonable In Us demands nt any point, at any placet To show you that I am not Joking, I will say that wc have a man now in Europe traveling, who baa the author ity to appoint agents tn every cotton manufacturing center of the old world." new residences TO BE ERECTED A row of seven or eight houses.
