f. M. Reaves Writes for farmers.
Editor Pttsbarg Gazette:—If yon
will allow me space In the Gazette I
will say a few words to the farmers
about marketing their cotton through
the ware house system. The farmers
have been foUofriug the street dump-
ing and sealping system a long time
and it has been very detrimental to
their progress. * The agricultural in*
twrests have not kept pace with the
blplance of the business world because
; <u|farmer bad to take the other fel-
lows price for what he had to sell and
he had to pay the other fellows price
for what ho had to boy* ’ So the other
J|Bow has had both ends of the rope
end has had the whole thing going
his way all the time. So I think it is
time the farmers were waking up and
mixing some np to date business with
their part of tills program. A part of
the farmery have beeh working at
this problem about 6 years and have
I. in keeping cotton npon and
>ve the 10c mark, while
the previous years 'it stood around
the 6 and 7 cent mark. Now, brother
farmers, here is Whatl want to eay;
I if a few termers, through their organi-
zation have beep able tor 6 years to
keep the price of cotton around this
higher level, have not all been bene-
fitted by what'they have accomplish-
ed? And if yon hare been helped any
ta need your help lo this great work.
We are not going to stop here. We
expect through the Farmers’ union
Ware houses of Texas and the South
to fix a uniform system of prices that
bead to suit' conditions and
wifi work great
good to the termdr am) to the cotton
B01 industry and to every other busi-
ness and enterprises of this great
Sooth land in which we live. Now,
brother farmers and business men,
will yOU help by your ^influence? We
believe you will. We want to see the
street peddling of cotton done away
with ami if the'street buyers want to
hoy eofcton let them get in touch with
the beet cotton buyers of this country
that will pay the best price, and then
oome to the ware houses and buy all
the cotton they want. One of the
best cotton buyers in Pittsburg said to
me that tbe man that peddles his cot-
ton on the streets lost from 5 to 7 dol-
lars a bale on his cotton uid if this
statement ie true on a 12 million bale
crop Wp would loose 975,000,000 and
this alone would build cotton mills
enough in the south to employ* all of
our idle labor and would* feed tbe
hungry and clothe the naked. This is
the system we want to get away from
epd it will take concert of action on
the part of the farmers and the enter-
prising businesspeople of this country
to perfect an Dp-to-date system to
take tbe piece of this old ran down
thing that we haye been following for
30 or 40 years. Now, brother, if you
can’t helpt don’t get In the way, if you
de, the great procession of up-to-date
people may ran over you. In coo-
Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 31.—That-
the National Farmers’ cmidn, aided by
tbe various state unions, will under-
take to handle the entire cotton out-
put of the South direct from producer
to spinner on a plan of selling grad-
ually and according to demands, thus
eliminating the middleman, is ? the
sensational news secured on the eye
of the annaai National convention
which opens in Fort Worth Tuesday.
The fact is, a National cotton potp-
mittee has already been formed, with
one member from each cotton state,
to handle the new crop. A subcom-
mittee of five was in session in Mem-
phis, Tenn., Saturday and the entire
committee of twelve assembled in Ft.
Worth today to conclude the perfeo
tion of details for presentation to the
National convention for approval. '
i The plan in its present shape repre-
sents one of the most tremendous un-
Feur Button Novelty Sack. No. 519 dertakings ever attempted , in the
world of commerce. To dispose of
tbe stupendous output of American
cotton through a single "channel, so to
speak, and to cut out the broker and
the manipulator By the simply pro-
cess of selling direct to the spinner,
is a task the achievement of Which
would mean tbe revolutionizing of the
cotton handling methods of tbe world.
It would mean simply that the pro-
ducers would feed the market just as
tbe needs require and the price of the
staple would be practically and ab-
solntely controlled by the farmers
themselves.
Thi« new plan is accepted as tbe
most effective tba^ could be created
and that it will be put into execution
in the handling of the new crop now
starting to market is regarded as a
positive certainty.
t—--
elusion I want to say that Mr. Price,
the big cotton 'gambler, said, .a few
days ago that we ought to get 10 cents
for our cotton crop; and if the crop
did hot exceed 13,000,000 bales we
ought to demand a much higher price.
Respectfully,
— F. M. Braves.
Aii Exciting Time:
G. W. Raney is having some excit-
ing times these days. He got license
to marry a Red River county girl who
was too young to take tbe fatal steps
without her parents permission, and
to add to the complexity of the situa-
tion he went over and stole tbe girl.
They were married here last Thurs-
day by Bro. J. D. Holland. That
evening the girl’s father arrived on
the scene with the deputy sheriff to
try to reofiver his daughter. When
hs discovered the khot had been tied
be swore out a complaint against
George charging him with having a
first wife. Then George got arrested.
He made bond and proves that wife
No. 1 has bad i divorce for some time.
The irate father arrived here- again
Monday morning bringing with him
mi attorney and after consulting the
county attorney they filed foot com-
plaints against George to-wit: For
forgery, for passing a forged instru-
ment, for having'in his possession a
Humiliating.
Champ Clark frequently- visited
Washington before bis election to %lre
house and thought he was pretty well
known here. On one oooasion he
came to the capital on business for a
client. He was surprised and pleased
to meet an old friend and townsman
at the hotel Mr. Clark had selected
for bis stay.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Brown,” ex-
claimed Mr. Clark. “I’m glad to see
you. Is there anything I can do for
yoo?”
“Clerk,” added Mr, Clark when
they had reached that functionary,
“this is my friend, Mr. Brown,
want yon to treat him right. Let him
have whatever he wants and it ke
gets too extravagant and rant out of
cash just charge it to me.” \
“Why, yes,” said the clerk.,* “I
know Mr. Brown very well, sir, bat
who are you.” ?

What Is a Sqiare Deal?
When Mr. Shonts tells ns that Mr.
Taft stands for a square deal for the
railroads, are we to understand by
“square deal” a policy of let alone?
High financiers and mariners on the
sea of watered stocks are prone to
think they are not getting a square
dels! unless they are allowed to do as
they please. Thomas K. Ryan thinks
he is not getting a square deal in his
enterprises. The Standard Oil people
devoutly believe they are not treated
fairly when the Government compels
them to stand on their own legs and
pay as much for transportation as
other shippers. They are all alike.
They all want a square deal and all
think they are not getting It.
In the interest of clearness* a defi-
nition of this fashionable phrase is
demanded. It is a waste of time to
discuss the square deal unless we can
agree upon what it is.—St. Louis Post
Dispatch.

in Dr. J. L. White’s pasture this morn-
ing before daylight. A number of
sheep and goat* ran in tbe pasture
M|l within the last few weeks forty
ogfifty have been killed. The past
tore is posted, and banters being for-
bidden from entering, the wolves
found excellent hiding places in tha
thickets and made nightly forages on
the sheep and goats. Mr. Click j whk

Oklahoma, waited until 3 o’olock this

the hounds to follow the trail, A

Gainesville Is After Mill.
Gainesville, Tex., Aug. 28.—Gaines-
ville is now after a cotton mill, hav-
ing gotten in touch with Boston cap-
italists who expect to build a mill in
Texas in the near future. Two local
men have each already signified their
willingness to take 910,000 worth of
stock, and it is said so much interest
has already been manifested that local
capital will build the mill if the Boston
people can not agree on terms that
are satisfactory here.
The Boston interests expect to build
a chain of mills through tbe South and
they have written to the commercial
dub, saying that Gainesville was the
first Texas town to ask for one of
them. They have already commenc-
ed to Investigate the * advantages Of
this city, and it is thought that they
will have a special representative
here next month.
God Crop Anyway.
Seymour, Tex., Aug. 24. —A fine rain
fell Saturday night and Sunday morn-
ing. It Is thought that It will be a
benefit to the cotton crop. The cot-
ton has been greatly damaged by the
boll worm, but there is enough left
unmolested to make a good crop
unless a new crop of worms should
appear.
Over 12 inches of rainfall is record-
ed from the recent downpour in
Athens, Ga. The damage to city
property is estimated at fifty thous-
and dollars.
If one is too large to be measured
by the dollar mark, or to be inclosed
in his estate; if the wealth of his
personality has overflowed until all
his neighbors feel richer for his life
and example; if every foot of land in
his community is worth more because
he lives there; then the loss of his
property cannot materially shrink his
inventory.
If yon have learned to be rich with-
out money; if you have by the culti-
vation of your mental powers, gath-
ered to yonrself a treasure of inde-
structible wealth; if, like the bee, yon
have learned the secret of extracting
honey from the thistle as well as the
rose, yon will look npon yonr losses
as« mere incident, not so very im-
portant to the larger and fuller life.
It gives a,sense^of immense satis-
faction to think that there is some-
thing within ns greater than the
wealth we acquire of our material
{mrsnits; that there is something
about ns better than a career, better
than living-getting, money-getting,
fame-getting; something that will
survive the fire, the flood or the
tornado which sweeps away our
property, which will survive detrac
tion, persecution, oalumny; something
that will outlast even the dissolution
of the body itself. That is, nobility of
character, the sweetness and light
which have helped people, which
have made the world a little better
place to live in.—Saccess Magazine.
The Increased Cost of Living.
Bryan will be elected if the man-
agers of the Democratic campaign
take advantage of their opportunity.
Political speeches should be simplified
and confined to one point—the in-
creased cost of living under Republi-
can rule. The dinner pail is so nearly
empty that the Republican managers
fear that alone:will defeat Taft. The
point should he’driven home constant-
ly, insiatentiy, persistently, that the
cost of living baa increased over 30
per ceht under Roosevelt and 36 per
cent since the inauguration of Mc-
Kinley. Make a city campaign. Go
among tbe factory workers and show
them that every trifling increase of
wage their onions have enabled them
to obtain has been absorbed by the
increase in the cost of living, which is
due to republican protection of trusts.
All the republican spellbinders will
endeavor to hood-wink these work-
ers with tales of the benefits of the
protective tariff to American industry.
Tell them the trath and show they
s^Fjbqing robbed. A simple search
on the increased cost of living wQl
gain morq Democratic votes than all
the torches, brass bands and spread-
eagle oratory the republicans can buy.
—A. T. Henderson in St. Louis Post
Dispatch.
Now Rill the Parmer Vote?
It Is going to be interesting to see
bow the prosperous termer of the
south and the west votes at the coming
presidential election.
Reliable information from both of
these sections shows that the farmer
has weathered the financial storm of
the last year better' than any other
class in the coutftry. J was out in
Denver the other day and while talk-
ing with a real estate operator I learn-
p^that nearly all of the realty par-
chased in that city daring the last
two or three years had been pur-
chased by farmers. You know it need
to be the miner who went to Denver
with his roll and bought city blocks.
Times have changed, however, and
it is now the granger who drives into
town and nips off a business section at
the time. From the south we do not
hear of such great prosperity as this
in the agricultural sections, but we
do hear that the farmers have less
complaint to make of their financial
condition than tbe store-keepers and
factory owners of the towns and cities.
—Wilton V, Anderson in St. (*ouis
Republic.
The editor of a northern paper states
that a merchant of his town on being
seen recently by a solicitor for a job
printing establishment, made the
foreign printing house drummer feel
ashamed of himself by tolling him: “I
believe in my printing being done at
home. We have a good offloe here,
the work is satisfactory, and the price
very reasonable. The more money I
spend with my home printer, the
more money he will have to spend
with me. Besides this, it enables him
to employ more help in his office and
the money paid to these employes will
find its way into the home channel of
trade. If I give yoo an order for
printing, it means just that muoh
money sent out of town. Even if
you do it a little cheaper than the
home printer I will have to pay ex-
press charges on the work, which
evens up matters. The home printer
lives among us and helps to keep up
our institutions; he is our neighbor,
friend and patron. Therefore, I pro-
pose to give him my printing as dong
as I am in business here.”—Exchange.

Defense of tbe Stingy.
“They say I am stingy.” All right,
let it go at that. I am stingy* Bat
did you ever hear that; I was a dead
beat? There was a time when I threw
my money away, and stood off credit-
ors, in order that I might be known
as a good fellow, but now I save my
money and pay my debts. There was
a time when I spent ton dollars in an
evening, bumming around with the
boys, and owed the tailor for the
clothes on my back, when I went rid-
ing every Sunday with a livery rig,
and I did not pay my board; when I
thought it an evidence of smartness
to buy cigars and drinks for other
people, but now I think it an evidence
of sound sense for a man to save the
money for which he is compelled to
vfork, in order that he may realize
something from it. For this I am call-
ed stingy, bnt I can stand it, in fact I
rather enjoy the title for. there are so
many shiftless fools in this town, who
imagine that they are good fellows
hoping to realize on their wanton
waste of money, that I am glad 1 can-
not he classed among them. Ask the
bill collectors about the good fellows.
The bill collectors will telTyou a story
worth listening to and they frill also
tell yon that the stingy men pay
promptly. There are 4 lot of old
good fellows in Atchison who began
fi/e under more unfavorable circum-
stances than the good fellows, and the
stingy fellQWs are rich-
I recomend that the young fellow
deserve tbe name of being stingy, for
a stingy man stints himself for his
family, but he often refuses to throw
lfis hard earned money away, and very
properly. A stingy man is seldom
bothexad with donatioxis. and alto*
gether, I' like the name.” (.Found
amoung the papers of a man who died
rich.)—Atchison Globe. >
1530 Days oo the Cbaio Gang.
G. W. Ashley, the man from Hugo,
who was arrested in Paris Saturday
by Officer Howerton of the' police
force and Deputy Sheriff Hoge, on a
charge of violating the local option
law, entered a plea of guilty before
Judge L. L. Hardison this afternoon
in five oases and the judge gave him a
fine of 9100 in each case, accompanied
by a jail sentence of 60 day* in each
case.
At the time Ashley was arrested he
had sold in Paris probably a dozen or
less bottles of booze. He had in his
possession a money order for another
shipment of whiskey. He said that
he guessed the officers had made a
mistake in Mresting him as he bad
been giving whiskey away in Paris,
hut to-day he acknowledged his guilt
with the above result.
Ashley first stated that he came
from East Texas, but after further ini
vestigatiop the facts developed that
he mime from Hugo, where he has
been doing just as he pleased, but on
his arrival here he found things differ-
ent.
With five cases against him and one
hundred dollars in eaeh of them, he is
allowed to work out the fine at 60
cents, which totals up one thousand
days. His jail sentence in each case
1b sixtv days, adding to this the court
costs, which totals three hundred days
makes in all 1530 days Ashley has to
serve on the county roads.—Paris Ad-
vocate.
Quitman and Great Northern.
Quitman, Tex., Aug. 27.—Every-
thing is working satisfactorily in the
new railroad venture from Quitman
to Mineola. Considerable amount of
stock has been subscribed, and the
subscription is being increased every
day. The charter has been approved
by the Attorney General. The cor-
porate name of the new railroad is
the Qnitman and Great Northern.
Surveyors are in the field locating the
line, and as soon as the permanent
line is located, grading will begin. .
WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Wnrfc Keep* Us Strnng and
Healthy.
All the blood in the body panne*
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grain*
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of tjhia impure mat-
ter is left in the blood, j This brings
on many diseases and symptoms—
pain in the bach, headache, nervous-
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism^ goat,
gravel, disorders, of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowuness, dropsy, deposit*
In the urine, etc. But if you keep
the filters right you frill have no
tronble with yonr kidneys. ^
William Geer, farmer, living five
miles east of Sulphur Springs, Texan,
says: “My wife ha« n**^ Doan’a
Kidney Fills for a short time, and ha*
been greatly benefited. She was
annoyed for several years by a d*l|
