OVERCOMING OBSTACLES.
Since the advent of man on
earth he has;been given obsta-
cles to overcome, and many have
fallen bv the wayside for lack of
determination to surmount the
difficulties both great and small
as they presented themselves.
We read in the Hible of Samp-
son, who slew the lion with his
when we
think of the determination of
this single man which goes to
prove that when man makes up
ices and cards of thanks I his mind to win there can be 110

The Cotton War,
With the approach of the cot-
ton harvest and in fact of a short
crop of cotton, everyone won-
ders why the price still continues
to decline. It has the effect to
scare a few of the farmers, and
that is the reason the price is
held at the bottom.
You see the moneyed man is
not a sleep, and while you are
breaking the ground to plant-the
seed; he sits in his office and
watches you with a careful eye,
studying your weak points to
strike at them, and your strong
points to draw your attention
from them and mislead you as
to your real strength. As the
season advances the Wall street
gamblers, speculators and mill-
ers get together—if they are not
all the same one—and formulate
plans to operate against you
and to make you let loose the
cotton and break up your com-
bination or union. They know
just as well as we do that if you
stick you will conquer them, and
they are going to do everything
in their power to intimidate you
and force you to come to their
agreements. On the other hand
we are watching them and are
telling you things just as they
stand, and it is up to you to fol-
low the direction of those who
are in a position to see for you
just how matters stand. Your
numbers and the fact that thejf
must have the cotton will win
for you if you stick. They fix a
price as well as farmers, and try
their best to pull you down to it.
They are a lieu rt less set; and
have plenty of money, and will
take any means In their to intim-
idate you even at a great loss to
themselves for several years, just
to make you believe you cannot
win.
That they hare considerable
power is shown by the fact that
they have already caused a de-
cease in the price of cotton.
This cannot last,, for with the
decreased aeveage and the great
demand for cotton goods, the
markets are bound to open up
and take in cotton at any price.
In conclusion I want to say
that all you have to do is to
take care of your affairs, first
• ee that you hare enough food
product to live on und1 get your
price or hang on to your cotton.

failure, especially when he is in
the right. Ofcourse Sampson
may not have been able to slay
the lion if God had not endowed
him with the marvelous strength
it took to accomplish such a deed
but at the same time he was de-
termined and what is more, had
faith in the power over him and
consequently won the struggle.
Suppose Sampson hud allowed
the roar of the lion to frighten
him as some of our tottering
members allow the talk of their
enemies to scare them; he simply
would have been swallowed up
and forgotten about. To win
we must have extreme faith in
our powers and in those who arc
in a position to look out for our
interests and who are willing to
back us up. The fanners of the
South have only to stick togeth-
er and display that iron will,
strength of character and deter-
mination to succeed, standing
steadfast for the great cause for
which they have organized and
they will overcome their obsta-
cles as easily as did Sampson,
difficult as they may seem. In
Judges XIV-5, 6, you will read
as follows: ''Then went Samp-
son down, and his father and
mother, to Timnath, and, behold,
a yoNng lion roared againt him.
And the Spirit of the Lord came
upon hinijlind he rent him as he
would have rent a kid, and he
had nothing in his hand, but he
told not his mother or his father
what he had done."
This man feared not the lion
nor did he let him take advant-
age or get the best of liirn just
because he made a big noise and
looked formidable. He just went
ahead and trusted in our great
leader who inspired to help him
win, and with the idea in our
minds that will let nothing con-
quer we will be able to crush the
lion of contention and opposition
as easily as we would a spider
under foot.
What a great lesson this has
been for ns and what inassave
deeds have been accomplished
and can be accomplished by any
man or body of men who will
display a little of the Sampson
determination and will take the
lion of contention and opposi-
tion by the jaws and rend.him.
Now let us take a look at the
rate of another biblical charac-
ter conveyed in Proverbs XX11-
13, wherein a yormg sluggard
also haa a few dealings with
King Lion. Mis statement was:
"There is a lion without, and I
shall be slain in the streets."
Now we have never heard any
I further report from this young
! sluggard, and in all pro brbifi ties
! he made a meal for the particu-
1 tr lion.
| Now, take the experiences of
; these two ancient.men and com-
i pare them with the people you
meet every day. How many of; Union Guide.
! them are willing to stand up for
: what they think is right in the
face of anything, and how many
do we find who are sure to give i
j up the struggle as soon as they |
who appears strong and who
knows how to make adisagreea-
noise? When we sum up the
two sets of mankind we are
proud to find the balance in the
Fanners' Union fire on the true
side and it makes as feel that we
want to grasp the hand of those
we know are out for the right
and not afraid to say so.
It is not so that the man who
never gives up but plods along
in his own manner possessing
that will of steal and who refuses
to recognize anything as imposi-
ble, is the successful man?
Take plenty of time to make
up your mind, and once made up,
never allow anyone or anything
to sway you from your aim one
way or the other, but keep the
helm of your ship straight to
the point where you wish to land
flying the colors of Justice,
Equity and the Golden Ilule,
which should be the motto in
every case, .lust because you
think others are stronger than
yourself is no reason why you
should allow them to overcome
In the modern age it is sad but
true there are millions of people
who can be turned asid« from
their purpose by a few well chosen
words from some slippery-ton-
gued person who desires to swerve
them from their way of thinking,
pretending at the same time to
be a true friend, taking advan-
tage of the fact that they are
able to intimidate the weaker
class by having the benefit of a
better education and possessing
a better supply of worldly knowl-
ecge.
Itemember, words do not count
for unything as far as injuring
you or your cause unless you let
them, and also never be satisfied
that you can't do anything un-
til you have no right to say just
what you can't do until yon have
tried. You will hear people say,
"Men have tried to form organi-
zations like the Farmers' Union
before and have neversucceded."
Why, because they lacked deter-
mination and allowed obsticles
to overcome them and block
their way to success.
Greht achievements con not be
accomplished in a day and every
work that has been done has met
with obstacles that were not
thought of before and perhaps
these obsticles stood up before
them like the proverbial lion and
roared in their faces, and maybe
the first couple of times they
stood back and were afraid to
tackle hjtn, but then they lacked
the determination and the faith.
Now take heed, you members of
the Farmers'Union, and see that
you do not allow anything to
turn you from yotir purpose.
Let's show the world what can
be done by a determination equal
to Sampson, and when any one
tries to turn you from your pur-
pose, do a little "roarring" your
self, and if they won't listen to
good common sence and see
things in the right light, just let
them go, and they will probably
make a meal for a lion, although
in a great many cases my sympa-
thies would be with lion for hav-
ing sncb an indigestible load on
his stomach. Remember, we
don't have to worry about the
other fellow, bnt each one must
keep his principles sacred, and

An Englishman, recently arriv-
ed was an interested listener to
.a, group of men talking in a "v il-
1 age store. Patriotism was un-
der discussion. The readiness of
so many Canadians to take pai t
in the South African campaign
was adduced as an instance of
their deep and heartfelt* love of
country.
"Yes, but," said the English-
man, "1 don't see much patriot-
ism in the way you keep up your
roads, and fences, and schools.
IIow many of you young men
love the empire well enough to
make your roads the best in the
empire, or to work in that direc-
tion?" The talk drifted further
into the condition of the school-
houses and grounds, the road
fences, tree planting, etc.
The conclusion was reached
that the patriotism of t he com-
munity was not evidenced us it
should be in ordiqary f.iithful-
uess to the everyday duties of
citizenship. Some public meet-
ings were held, and at least one
maritime community is now
more attentive to the common
duties of citizenship.
Flag flying, drum beating, and
dress parades are all good in
their place. But if love of coun-
try is not evidence in roads, fenc-J
es, streets, orchards, school
houses, churches, homes, and so]
on, patriotism is not informed
as it should be.
Our country is beautiful, It is
fitting that we sing its praises,
but it is also well to add to the
beauty and neatness of our cor-
I ner of it. Shady trees, well-kept
roads, cheerfully baicl taxes,
faithfulness in the duties of citi.
zeuship; these are genuine evi-
dences of informed patriotism.—
