FRIDAY. JI Ni: o<>, 1
A number of directors of expe-l
rirnent stations of set eral of the
Southern states are in Washington
City to hold a conference with of
ficials of the agricultural depart
ment, the object being to deter
mine upon some uniform course of
action for the eradication of the
cotton boll weevil.
The Sunday papers published a
dispatch from Fort Smith saying
that Governor Davis and Senator
Kerry met in a hotel lobby at that
place, and that Senator Berry de
liberately snubbed the governor,
but the report has since been de
nied by both parties. It seems that
tin* campaign liar is getting in his
work early.
The first bale of cotton of this
season's growth was marketed in
Galveston, Tex., Monday. It was
grown in Starr county and classed
as good middling, l’he bale came
eleven days later than the first
bale of cotton last year and is the
first bale of cotton raised in Starr
county in live years. It was auc
tioned off and sold for ".i cents a
pound. _
TOO MUCH FOR SELF.
There are people living too
much for self these days. Espec
ially is this true of the man of bus
iness in town, or at least there is
something that makes this seem
that way. Most men in business
employ ail their time with their
business. There has got to be
such a greed or avarice between
them that each one employs all his
time trying to keep the other fel
low- from absorbing all his busi
ness. Hence he often seems sel
fish when in reality he is not. But
no man should get too busy with
his own business to pay any atten
tion to public business which is
absolutely necessary to the growth
and development of the town.
Every man whether of business or
not owes the town in which he
lives a consideration in every line
of promotion and advancement
which may come up and he should
not become so absorbed in his own
private affairs that he cannot give
time to public affairs.
THE FARMERS MEETING.
The members of the Farmers '
Union of this county will hold '
their county meeting today and
tomorrow with the sturdy farmers
<»f Black River township at Oak
ltidge.
The Farmers Union now has
upwards of 00,000 members in
Arkansas, and the farmers are
thoroughly in earnert in their or
ganization. A great many people !
do not yet seem to fully compre
hend the purpose of this great or
ganization, and there seems to be
a tendency on the part of some to
■lake light of the organization. !
The editor of The Journal has
road a good deal alxmt the organi
sation, both for and against it, and 1
we believe we know enough about
its aims and workings to say that 1
it is productive of great good to
the farmers, that patient and long
sufferi ng class, the burden-bearers ;
of the nation, upon whom every ]
man, in all callings or conditions
of life, must depend for food and
rainment.
We find today that all classes of
business men are organized, and
the world takes it as a matter of
course, and makes no complaint;
but when the farmers begin to or
ganize we hear divers and sundry
objections put forth as to why
they should not organize, and as
to why and how an organization
of farmers cannot be made per
manennt.
The Journal does not believe
that the farmers, any more than
any other class, should organize
for the purpose of placing unrea
sonable prices upon their products
or for the oppression of their fel
low-men, but we recognize the
l ight of the farmers to organize.
In fact, we believe the time has
come when they must organize,
and if there is a class of people on
the face of the earth who have a
right to organize, it seems to us
that it is the farmers. They pro
duce the wealth of the earth, and
if there is any man who has a
right to say what his wares are
worth, it is the farmer, the man
who produces or creates wealth.
They have it in their power to
regulate production to the extent
of harmonizing supply with de
mand, and it is undeniable that
there must be some system in
human affairs; some uniformity in
the transaction of business the
world over. Then why should the
farmers, any more than the manu
facturer of chairs or other neces
sary commodities, continue, in a
ship-shod manner, to produce
more of any commodity than the
world will consume at a reasonable
price i
oo long as tne rarraers Keep pol
itics out of their organizations,
they will result in good to their
members, and these county and
state meetings will be looked for
ward to with pleasure. The mem
bers will be enabled to cultivate a
more friendly and fraternal feeling
toward each other, and will be
benefited by a friendly discussion
and exchange of ideas in regard to
the knotty problems that often
confront the tillers of the soil.
The Journal sends its best wish
es and fraternal regards to the
farmers assembled in county con
vention. and assures them of its
hearty good wishes for their fu
ture welfare and prosperity.

7/?e David Bradley Double Gam
is the favorite because it is the simplest press ever made.
You can’t beat it. It has all the strong points, will put lull
weight into a car, is easy and light to move, and it can’t go
wrong or get out of order because there is nothing about it
to get out of order. Just a plunger, a double cam and a
plunger draw. But they are well made. That’s the secret.
Come in and let's talk this matter over. You can't tell all
about the David Bradley Press Just from the picture.
