EXTRACTS FROM THE UNION BAN NER. (Winfield, Texas.) Tennessee is coming to the front with her union work. n The old state of Georgia has a rous ing set of good union people. South Carolina has quite a number of good, strong union men. K The Farmers’ Union is bound to take this country. You watch and you will see. We are not exaggerating about it n The happiest man in the world is that old farmer who has a good com fortable house, a good wife and twelve or fourteen children, a good farm, good stock, smokehouse full of meat and a crib full of corn. •t A strong resolution was passed unanimously at the Farmers’ Union meeting at Atlanta requesting the fac tories to work our low grade of cotton into wrapping for this year’s cotton; also requesting all cotton farmers to use same. The profits on a flock. of twenty sheep on the average farm are aston ishingly large. But it does not follow that a hundred sheep on the same farm will yield five times as much as the twenty sheep. n The department of agriculture falls to “find any tangible evidence of the production of cotton in any country which will be a serious competitor of the upland cotton of this country.” Hence American cotton is still king. Dairying plays a most important part in the successful rotation of crops, and perhaps no better means can be found of turning all kinds of grain and fodder into a valuable fertilizer and so adding to the fertility of the soil, than by this method. n The farmers’ garden ought to con tain a greater variety of winter beans. White beans are as good as can be, but there are others, seldom grown and liked better by others. Red kid ney beans, for instance. And black bean soup is esteemed a real delica cy by a great many. W Thirty thousand members added to the Farmers’ Educational and Co-oper ative Union of America in one day— the 22d day of January, 1907. The Farmers’ Unions in Illinois, Indiana, and other states joined us. These people were organized under a dif ferent charter than ours. We are reminded of Hon. Thomas E. Watson as we pass along the public highways and see mail boxes in front of every man’s door. The rural free delivery measure he put through while in congress. They stand to his memory. He made the poor man’s fight. This is why he is not in * the U. S. senate today. We see In the Rising Star, pub lished at Winnsboro, La., that Thom as E. Watson was selected at the Na tional meeting in Atlanta, Ga., as Na tional Organizer for the Farmers’ Un ion, which is a mistake. Mr. Wat son is not even a member of the or der. It was our pleasure to be at the above meeting, and we can say of our own knowledge that Watson is not an officer of the union. How ever, he is doing all the good for the Union he can by making speeches all over the south. THE WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. Tom Watson has changed the form of his paper and changed the name + o “The Weekly Jeffersonian.” The Mer cury thinks the change in form is better. The matter is of the Watson style, and is interesting and education al reading. The Mercury believes the Jefferso nian will work with and for the Geor gia Democratic party, and for Bryan Democracy in the nation. In short, will try to help reform that old great ly deformed party. Tom has that right. If he has de cided to go into the reform busi ness, and to reform the Democratic party, he has undertaken a big job. And the Mercury wishes him much success. —Hickory, N.

SHORT. n n n Ahead of th® Game. “There’s really no tellin’,” Said Mayor McClellan, “What Hearst and those fellows will do. They claim they’ve no doubt Os turning me out, But they can’t get my back salary too.” —Philadelphia Ledger. n Amidst the hundreds of prominent names, from nearly every state in the union, which appear in Watson’s Jeffer sonian Magazine and Watson’s Week ly Jeffersonian, we do not see a sin gle name of the “safe and sane” tribe from the state of Washington. But let me whisper in their ears: One of the largest book stores in Seattle had sold every one of the January num ber of Watson’s Jeffersonian Maga zine before the 15th of the month. This shows that the people are reading Tom Watson’s literature. We write this in order that me “safe and sane” may confirm their position and not be a misnomer.—The Patriarch, Seattle. •t R H The Hon. Thomas E. Watson has already done more to educate the jveople along political lines than any other man in all the country.
