Farmers* Union Resolutions.
RESOLUTION NO. 1.
Resolved, That we indorse the
efforts of the Bonham Board of
Trade and the Fruit and' Truck
■Growing farmers of Fannin Coun-
ty in trying to establish a mar-
ket to sell the fruit and vegeta-
bles of Fannin County,
RESOLUTION NO. 2.!
Whereas, the Farmers’ Union
of Texas has labored long and
studiously to secure a public
warehouse system, whereby the
Farmers of Texas could be en-
abled to hold their products off
the markets until such time as a
fair and just price could be se-
cured and whereas after full and
careful consideration; a satisfac-
tory bill was prepared and a del-
egation appointed to ask the leg-
islature for its passage, and
whereas we note with surprise
that both our reprepresenrtatives
from Fannin County voted
against said measure and one;
Mr. Raiden actively opposed its
passage-
Therefore, Resolved. That the
Fannin County Farmers ! Union
in Convention assembled con-
demn the action of Representa-
tives Raiden and Cunningham in
opposing said bill and declare it as
our opinion that Fannin County
should be represented in the leg-
islature by men who are in touch
with the farmers of our country,
and in sympathy with their aspi-
rations and desires.
RESOLUTION NO. 3.
Whereas, our information based
on careful investigation and re-
ports from every section of the
cotton belt, indicate that much
higher prices for both cotton and
seed are inevitable, unless the
farmers themselves by rushing
these pioducts on the market
force down the prices.
Resolved,that we earnestly urge
upon the farmers, both organized
and unorganized; the urgent ne-
cessity of holding their cotton
and seed off the markets for the
present, and'to market their pro-
ducts gradually throughout the
entire year, as we are convinced
much higher prices will be real-
ized by pursuing such .a course.

FOUR GREAT LITTLE HOMES
All four of these places should sell because they represent good clean stuff, the kind of places
that DO NOT OFTEN GET ON THE MARKET these days.
First: 50 acres, 2/4 miles Southeast* of Ector. All in cultivation; all level; all heaviest
possible grade of-best bjlack waxy, a farm hewed a few years ago out of heavy timber, and that spells
the best possible best as you know. Deep well Price $100 an acre. No land around Honey Grove,
Windom, Trenton or Leonard will beat it; there is little as good. -
Second: 74 acres in same neighborhood as above, practically all in cultivation, with two fair
sets of improvements. Deep grade of sure enough black waxy and TIMBER not PRAIRIE black
land. Clay sub-soil. Lies well and far above the average run of black land. Price $85.00 an acre.
Third: 53 acrei, 1 mile Southwest of Ector. Nice improvements, good water and ideal
neighborhood as to market, people and schools. All in cultivation. The lay of it is almost perfect
and the soil nearly one-half of the very best black waxy and the remainder best grade of black mixed.
$80.00 an acre.
I ■ ' ■ * '
Fourth: 55 acres, 3 miles Northeast of Leonard. Nicely improved and plenty of water.
40 acres of very fine black waxy soil and 15 acres of best grade of gray land. No rock. This is in
the Groves neighborhood and surrounded by a fine farming country. Above the average black land
farm for all-round productiveness.
And I have “othprs”—other tracts to show you—-or send you to. I early recognized this

season the strong demand for homes of from 50 to 100 acres and have set out to meet it. I have a

points in the County. It is my desire and purpose to do something for the man who calls on me.
The above described are the better grade farms, but I have a fine list of small tracts running in price
from $35.00 an acre up.j . *

WILSON BELIEVES
IN UNITED ACTION
Thinks a Concerted Stand hy
Party In Power Is Effective.
WINS OVER REPUBLICANS.
Stand In Mexican Crisis Helped to
Unite the President'and Those Who
Differed With Him * -Senate Is Not
Pleased With Talk of Impeachment.
Walsh of Montana In Limelight.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, Sept 8. — [Special.] —
President Wilson believes In govern-
ment by parties. He just^ naturally
falls into the notion that more can be
accomplished by the party. In power
standing unitedly for a given policy or
line of action. He made the tariff a
party issue and rather chagrined those
Republicans of progressive tendencies
who hoped to “help make a nonparti-
san tariff." He also proceeded along
party lines to push the currency bill.
There was for a time a belief that
the president was keeping the Mexican
imbroglio within his party. Such
charges were made by Republican sen-
ators until finally there were free con-
ferences between the president and all
members of the foreign relations com-
mittees of both houses. That such
conferences helped to unite congress
to stand with the president there can
be no doubt
Bacon the Mediator.
Senator Bacon, chairman of the com-
mittee on foreign relations, was the
mediator between the administration
and the Republican senators. He talk-
ed it over with Secretary Bryan and
urged that the Republicans be called
into conference on an important foreign
complication. He said the same things
to the president, telling both officials
that before and dnring the Spanish
war President McKinley had daily con-
sultations with himself and other Dem-
ocrats. As a consequence of the over-
tures of the Georgia senator the presi-
dent and Secretary Bryan have held
frequent conferences with Republicans.
Warren Sidestepped.
Senator Warren of Wyoming, who
is an extensive sheep owner, was
speaking on wool and was interrupted
by Senator Martine of New Jersey. “I
have heard the senator from Wyoming
designated as ‘the greatest shepherd
since Father Abraham.’ I suppose we
should pay homage to him and hope
to gain our aid and succor—revising
the Biblical quotation for these latter
days—from the shepherd of today, the
shepherd from Wyoming.”
“Do I still have the senator’s love,
co-operation, confidence and respect?”
inquired 'Warren.
“Indeed, the senator always has my
respect,” replied Martine. “A man who
can command so magnificent a per-
sonal presence and a man who by his
genius has been able to gather around
him such a colossal herd ak he now
has roaming the plains of the western
part of the country will command the
respect of almost all his fellow citi-
zens.”
“The senator from New Jersey,” said
Warren, sidestepping, “always carries
out the teachings of the Bible. I con-
gratulate and thank him.”
Senate tiopes Not.
. Talk of impeachment does not please
the senate. It means long sessions de-
voted to a trial of a judge, in which
evidence is taken, where attorneys and
house managers do the talking and the
senators sit quietly by. The senate
doesn’t like impeachments.
■ Where Are the Birds?
Dnring a discussion of birds Senator
Williams inquired about tbe bumming
birds of Mississippi. “When 1 was a
boy,” he said, “there were bumming
birds ail over my part of tbe country.
There must have bf*en 500 varieties of
them, and they were of- every color
yob coukl imagine. Now 1 do not see
a humming bird twice in a season.”
Senator McLean explained that the
humming birds went to Cuba for tbe
winter, where ns many as 30,000 were
killed In a winter, and they were sold
at 2 cents apiece and mounted on hate
of women as ornaments.
They are Doing Things.
The Board of Trade is active
and is accomplishing results.
You had better join ard help
your town, they are trying to
help you.
NEGROES VOTED
FOR ROOSEVELT
So Republicans Fought Colored
Man’s Appointment.
A FACTOR IN POLITICS.
Free Sugar and Wool Look Certain.
Hepburn Is “Father of the Canal.”
Page an “Insidious Lobbyist’*—The
Oregon to Be First Boat Through
Panama Canal.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, Sept. 1. — [Special.]—
Rather a curious story of the defeat of
the negro for a federal appointment
recently came to light in a discussion
of political conditions in the senate. It
was positively asserted that the defeat
of the colored man was due to opposi-
tion on the part of stand pat Repub-
licans, regulars, who were sore be-
cause the uegro voters in large num-
bers went over to Roosevelt In tbe.last
campaign.
If it Is true that these votes went to
Roosevelt a still further curious po-
litical condition is developed. It was
Roosevelt who denounced the machine
control by negroes in the southern
states, who proposed to organize a
white Republican party in those states.
The one reason always given why
the Republicans could not cut down
southern representation in national
conventions was because there would
be a loss of negro votes in northern
states-. It is rather surprising, there-
fore, to hear that the colored voters
went over to Roosevelt last year.
Still a Factor.
At all events, the negro seems to be
considered an important factor in poli-
tics. “Without the support of the Re-
publicans the opponents of the negro
could not have prevented his confirma-
tion,” said a Democratic senator. “All
the Democratic senators from states
like Maryland, West Virgina, New Jer-
sey. New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Kansas and Nebraska would have been
compelled to support the nomination
on account of the negro votes in those
states. It was because the regular Re
publicans came to the support of the
southerners that caused the with-
drawal of the nomination.”
Free Sugar and Wool Sure.
After the first test vote on sugar In
the senate there was careful figuring
as to w hat might have happened if all
the republicans had voted and were
paired and had Senator Newlands
voted with the Republicans for a duty
on sugar, as he is inclined to do. There
would have been a majority of one for
the sugar duty owing to the vacancy
from Alabama.
But, even so, neither tbe house nor
the president would accept the bill
without free wool and free sugar, and
In the final windup the slim majority
by which a duty might be placed on
these articles would be of no avail.
“Father of the Canal.”
“Pete Hepburn is the father of the
canal,” remarked Minority Leader
Mann, speaking of the big ditch. Mann
did not go into particulars, but they are
something like this: Hepburn fought
through the house, with but one dis-
senting vote, a bill for a canal at Nica-
raugua. That bill came back from the
senate, after a long, hard struggle,
changed to a Panama canal bill. By
a^Tyire majority of three votes the
change had been made. Hepburn
moved to concur in the senate bill,
which, according to many people, pre-
vented the deadlock which those who
had forced the Panama route hoped to
obtain. "
Page Confesses.
President Wilson charged that there
was an “insidious lobby” at work
against free sugar. Senator Page of
Vermont “fessed up” when the para-
graph relating to maple sugar was
reached in the tariff bill. “I have been
a very ihsidious lobbyist in behalf of
maple sugar for five years,” said the
Vermonter. Quite‘ true, and he went
so far as to send boxes of maple sugar
cakes to senators and other friends
about the eapitol. Many people en-
joyed a taste x>f Page’s maple sugar.
Jim Mann on Her Deck.
Secretary Daniels has determined to
send the old Oregon through the canal
as the first battleship, thus keeping up
that sentimental tradition about the
voyage of the Oregon around South
America in order to take part in the
Spanish war. Jim Mann, who hhs had
so much to do with canal legislation,
is to be upon her deck if time and
the navy department will permit.
And. while it is all right sentimental-
ly, the voyage of the Oregon was use-
less, unnecessary and a blot upon the
good* sense of those who were respon-
sible for the trip. The Oregon was not
needed on the Atlantic coast and might
have been needed on the Pacific coast.
Where Courtesy Ceases.
The Republicans can make no ar-
rangement for pairing Senator Bur-
leigh of Maine, who is too ill to attend
the sessions of the senate. The Demo-
crats need all the votes they can get,
and as they have lost one by death
they are making no arrangements to
pair a sick man on the other side. In
•a close fight like this they have on
hand senatorial courtesy ceases. If
Burleigh had been long enough in the
senate to have arranged a permanent
pair his vote would now be protected,
for permanent pairs are never vio-
lated.
When we started in the jewelry
business we had a little money
and a big idea. This idea was to
impress on you that we are selling
the very best Jewelry at reasonable
prices.
And judging from the splendid
growth of the business you have
tried it out and found it true.
Still therejare a few skeptics—a
few “show] me” folks. To these
we say, one little visit, one small
purchase will convince you that^
we have the best goods at the
right price. Try it and prove it.
