Co-Operation.
The litoral Biguillonlion of tho word co-
operate, us wo all know; is to work togoth-
er, joint labor. Co-operutlou is tbe key to
success in all trades and groat undertake-
lugs. By co-operation tho American colo-
nists and tho French aftor seven years of
atruggllng, privation and waut, gain o 1
America's lndependcnco from Great Brit-
ain. On that ever to be remeinbored
Fourth of July, 1770, tho Ainoricon Colo-
nista signed a document declaring them-
selves l'roo and Independent. Kuglaud
howevor, would not yot recogui/.e our in-
dependence, it wuh not until Soptember II,
1783, that a treaty was signed ut Paris, ac-
knowledging the Independence of tho
United States, and over since that time tho
American Colonists have stood forth upon
the records of history as a irco and inde-
pendent nation. But how long would it
have remained so without a head to govern
Its political affairs1 Croat Britain would
have swept thorn in and placud the n a¿.aln
unüer her own government.
But what did tho Colonists do? Ttioy
aolected George Washington, tho grandost,
most noblo man among tbem, and placed
htm upon the watoh tower of at it*; other
eminent men wero selected uh members ot
the three executive departments now o<-
tabliahod, by whoin, with the approval of
the president, laws wore to be mudo which
all must obey, tbua wo see that the United
States is governed by a co-operative power.
Also each state, county, city, village anil
town, are kept in order by a similar co-op-
erative body.
Almost all trades are protected by oo-op-
oration; look at the merohants, tho stock-
men, the manufactures, and In f ot nearly
all branches of industry, each body co-op-
ernteB lor mutual benefit, and like the
United States government, men ot busi-
ness qualifications aro placed at tho head
ot tliese organizations to watch and to
manage affairs, though unlike the United
States government, they are held together
by no coercive power, but aimply by a de-
elro to protect their llnanelal interests.
But tho dear, grand old farmer, the chlel
workmen ol the nation, baa a lways beeu
lndopondent; yes, Independent, so inde-
pendent, that it he la not able to buy a
pair of shoes he can go barefooted, but
this kind of Independence ia not always
very comfortable, so farmers havo resolved
to better their condition, and they havo
realized that in order to gain real true In-
dependence they too, must work in co-op.
eration, and ge completely out Irom un-
der the oppreaalve yoke tho moueyed mo-
nopoilata have placed apon them, they
have realized that they ean, and have de-
termined tbat they will break down the
truata that they may obtain their auppllea
cheap, aid not have to work themaelvea
only to And at tbe and ol the year that they
are away In daht, and can not possibly pay
, until the next crop ia nada; thla ia
tbe soli are in. Let tbe honest farmer turn
any way he will, dobt always seems to
stare him In the lace as his worrt and most
inevitable foe. But why are the farmers
in tbis deplorable condition? Heeauso in-
stead of banding together and demanding
a certain price for tbelr corn and cotton
they will go to a buyer and ask him wbat
he will pay thom for it, he tells them bis
price.
Now watch the farmer, a aorrowful look
creeps over bis face, and he declsrse tbat
the price he gets for his produce will hardly
justify him lor planting, and tbat by tho
timo he puya his cotton-pickers he has
scarcely enough left to buy bis winter
clothing.
Some people argue that there cannot be
too much cotton raised, but this ought to
prove this idea Is erroneous. Some time be-
fore tho war there was o much cotton
raised tbat after it was ginned It was worth
only (t or 7 cents per pound; but during
the wur the supply was to some extent cut
oil', and what was the result'/ Cotton went
up to GO cents per pound.
Now In the future let us plant more corn
and ruise more hogs, and to use the com-
mon pharse, let us raise more "hog and
hominy," and less cotton. By so doing we
will move our smokehouse to the south.
We will decrease to supply of
and increase tho price. 1 dou't suppose
wo will ever get 50 cents per pound for It,
but wo can got more thau we do now, and
by raising our own "hog and hominy" we
have lotu provisions to buy; then let alt
tho farmers band together and demand a
price for thoir produce.
We havo tried to govern our Alliance,
somewhat like the l/nited States is gov-
erned. Evan Jones is our Washing-
ton. We cousidered blm about tbe most
competent man, therefore we placed him
in the highest oillce—that of president—
and he is proving himself tho right man.
Our other stato odlcors are competent to
fill their respective olllces and aro doing all
they can to advanco our noble order.
In order that we may succeed we must
bo careful In selocting our oiilcers and the
subordinate membors or the Alliance must,
like the people of the United States, obey
tho laws made by our oiilcers. Tliore is
one thing certain, if we don't obey the
laws, cling together and protect our rights
we will bo oppressed and governed by
those classes who do protect themselves.
I'm sure all readers of our valuable edu-
cator, Thk Mkkcory, know of the death
and burial of poor old jute at Cameron,
Texas, a short time ago. Now the enemies
of the Alliance are watching overy oppor-
tunity to overthrow us, and if we relax our
energies the burial of jute bagging will do
us no moro good tliun throwing the tea
overboard at UoBlon would havo done tho
American colonists, if they had kept buy-
ing It; but Instead of using imported tea
llie ladles would uso tho dried leaves of the
raspberry at their tea purlleB,
Brothers and sisters, let us not be satis-
lied with this victory over one enemy, but
light bruvely onward until wo conquer
tliom all and gain complete iroedoiu, for
wo know that In "uulon there Is strongth,"
and most assuredly by co-oporatien we can,
like America's early settlors overcome any
common loe.

An Eaaay
Itoad before Shady Urove Alliance Au-
gust 15,1SS , Henderson county, Texas:
The question often forces itself upon our
minds, what benelit is there in our organi-
sation? What good eau we accomplish by
aiisaclatlng ourselves togethor, paying out
our money and spending time? Is there
any good to bo derived irom such a course?
The tlist thing tluit presents itself Is, are
we doing our duty as purems in training
our children? Aro wo using tho uocessury
means Ui oducntlng uud cultivating their
minds mentally, morally, socially and finan-
cially? Are wo striving to improas the du-
ties tliut will fall upon thorn when the man-
tle of governinont, both church and stato,
will full upon them? Are wo trying to im-
prove educational facilities? In short, arc
wo trying to leave to posterity a better
Htule ot affairs than thoro was wlieu the
mantle foil on us? Are we advancing or
are we retrograding? Hlr, It Is a duty wo
owe to the rlBlng generation and to society
to Instill Into thoir minds tho evils we are
now laboring under, that they i ay avoid
thom; In other words, that they may be
more rotinod spiritually, socially, financial-
ly and politically than we are. Is it not
a duty wn owo to our children, our neigh-
bor's children and our country to do every-
thing In our power to advance tho Interest
of all around lis? Aro we carefully study-
ing our bost interest and the road that
leads to happiness, both in this lite and
that which is to como? Is our influence
thrown out for good or for ovil? I tell you,
we should be careful of what wo aro doing;
wo should strive to advauco society mor-
ally, financially and socially of all with
whom wo associate; we must strive harder
to bring about n better, a more social and
friendly feeling with each other thau we
havo done in the past. Wc should not al-
low this natural, aollish disposition to lako
possession of us as we do.
Every man and woman is as good as l,so
long as he or sho lives honeBt aud does
their best to do the will of Him who hath
created them. All may not bo equal In
knowledge; all may not bo equal financial-
ly; all muy not be equal In appearance, but
at tlio samo time their feeling, tbelr wel-
fare ta as dear and sacred to them as the
most talented, the wealthiest and fairest or
the land; then how careful should wo act;
wo should not loso a single opportunity in
trying to make our country homos soci.,1
and attractive, to cultivate a friendly dis-
position around our children that they may
become attached to their associates, their
farm homes, and when we meet in our or-
ganlzatlona we should mako theui attract-
ive, lively and a blessing to ourselves, our
offspring and a G od-aend to our country.

of seeing the first bale of cotton covered
with cotton bagging sold in Marlln, Falla

leed ua to have enough cotton bagging to

Gentlemen ;—I take pleasure in saying
to you that I liad ugly warts on my hands
and have usod different caustics nnd vari-
ous remodies to no avail. I was oilered
ono ounce of Concentrated Germicide by
Dr. T. L. Scruggs to try it, and am lroed
from warts. I rubbed it ou my hands night
and morning about a week, when 1 discov-
ered they wero getting less, and some small
ones gone; they go olf without pain or
Boreness, und leavo uo sear. I can't tell
how thoy did go, but 1 can gay they uro
gone. 1 would recommend everybody that
have warts on their hands, to go to 721

both rheumatism and Boroftila. It has
worked like magic with me, having reliev-

Southern Germicide Manufacturing Com-
pany:
Gentlemen—I have had consumption
about nine years. I havo been unable to
work for three years, having beon an invu.
lid during all that time. It was impossible
lor me to get a good night's sleep, on sc-
couut of an Incessant cough and severe
pain in my breast. I had waBted away to
almost a skeleton and my friends, as well
as myself, thought I was bound to die, for
I wus a helpless and confirmed invalid
from a severe case of genuine consumption.
1 chanced to get a one-gallon jug of South-
ern Germicide, and within three days alter
1 began using it 1 felt much better and
have improved most rapidly evor since. I
sleep better than 1 have slept in three
years. My digestion is far better than it
has been for years; tbe pain in my lungs
has almost loft me. and 1 have gone to work
at the well-boring businoss, and make a
regular hand drawing dirt. Before I began
using Germicide 1 had to take purgative
pills almost every night, and when 1 com-
menced using Gormlcido 1 quit the use of
all purgatives, for the Southern Germicide
took the place of all medicines with me.
My appotite is better now than it has been
for three years. Before I took Southorn
Germicide 1 had chills about twice a week
for two years, and they grow worse on me
all the time, and since using your wonder-
ful medicine about six weeks the chills
have all lelt me. Your Germicide has been
a God-send to me. 1 am a new man.
Dallas is my home, Yours,
