AH JOHBV I.KTTBK. Atlanta Journal. fj I hay been ratting and ramioatiuf as my noble old friend, Bill Arp, would sjr, for the past week, and whan ws get to ruminating there are alwsri soms pleasant and beautiful thing! hidden awsjr ia memory. I think I hay ran np on some things oon nsoted with human Ufa at beaatiful at theitanand as fragrant at a flower garden. ' And these baaatifuJ tbinp that mtmor-f takes hold of now have all oomt to the turfaos at diamond ia he rough, and they all belong to ths sturdy stalwart men who pull the throt tle and the bell cord of oar t-eilroads. Take tbit instance in the c-jjition near evaairtyuie, ueorgia, some montni ago. Engineer Dobbt wu mortaDy hart H was lying on an improyited litter at Adairtville, when No. 98 rolled down to the depot and stopped. Engineer Dobbt looked up at the approaching engine and said: "That't Van Bell on that en gine, itn't It ? They answered in the affirmative. He laid: "I want to tee Van." The wounded engineer wai carried back to the sleeping ear. Vtn Bell got the summons. Ha stepped down off hie engine and followed his brother engineer to the sleeping oar, and walked Ihto the ear among the many pattengert with hit overalls on, and the tmnt of hit engine on hie face. He kneeled by the wounded brother en gineer's tide and laid: "What ean I do for you t" The dying man laid: "I want yoa to pray for me." And the Christian engineer knelt down in the leeping ear among all the ptttengert and lifted hie voioe in earnest prayer to God f or the eonl of the dying brother. He prayed earnestly and fervently, and remained with him 15 or 20 minutes, until the wounded engineer told him that he accepted the offered Christ and lurrendersd hit heart to Him. Then Van Bell bade him hold on to God by faith, and when he was going back to hit engine, the conductor said to him: 'Van, we have lost twenty minntet." Van replied: "Yet, but whit k that? I had rather lose my Job and help a dying brother get right with God, than to hold on to my Job and neglect my brother." The incident was reported to Superintendent MoCullum when the train came in. Major McCallum said: "You did right, my brother." Now in order that the buauty of thii picture may be teen, yoa matt know Van Ball. A more earnest, faithful Chriatian than he does not live on earth. And a better engineer never palled a throttle. I lip my hat in love and revere nos and admiration to such a character. Another scene and memory. It was on the Atlanta and West Point railroad tome two or three years ago. Some bos can had become detached end started down a four-mile grade from Opelika. The Southwestern limited was coming from Montgomery, making tplendid time. Jut, at the foot of the grade, with the can rnthing on with fearful momentum, tne ngineer and fireman of the Southwestern Limited, at they rounded the curve, taw the can approaching. A moment or two, end the crash had come, fhe engineer end firemen were brother!. The engineer was mangled and dead. The fireman was fearfully hurt. Uae of hie armt got under the wreck of the engine. Ira mediately the train was on fire. He begged them to cut hie arm off with their pocketknives at the middle Joint, and not let him burn up. The con ductor and a drummer did ae he begged them to, and when he was ex tricated that they carried him off a little piece from the wreck and laid him under a tree. Ia few momenta the dead engineer was gotten out, and at they bore him by the brother looked up and laid: 'That't my brother.'' They told him yet. "It he deedr "Yet," they replied. . He said: "I can never for get the look my brother gave me when wc rounded the curve and taw thoee can coming. Just at both taw the can approachiBg we turned our faces to wards Sriach other and caught each other's eyes. My brother didn't say e word except ae he looked it, His very ryes teemed to articulate and said: Brother, it is all up with us now, but I am ready.' We knelt down and prayed together before we started tbit morning on our journey. Brother it in heaven, and I will Join him in a few mometrta. Tell mother we both died Christians, and were ready to go." Ia a few mo menta more he passed away. Then the beautiful, faithful life of Captain Bell, on the Atlanta and West Point railroad. . Hon than forty yean a conductor, and never e reprimand or a criticism in his railroad life and hit character to-day at ae ttill palls the bell cord of that road is as beautiful and pleasing as life een make it, Another inoideat, When on the Bmtbern road between Atlanta and Birmingham, the engineer handling the throttle of a ptiitnger train, hit engine Jumped the track just before they mn onto a high trestle. He slap pled on hie emergency brake and re verted hit engine. The engine with the train ran oat and the engine stopped, and marvelous to behold, when it stopped on the trestle, the engine wee to nearly balanoed that am told that a man could have pushed it off into the gorge below. If it had gone tlx inches - fig-ther it would have gone over and pulled the train with it, It looked like e marvelous Providential Intervention. One "of . the leading official! of the road told me af terwardt thate went to the engineer and asked him wu then anv explanation he eould give why the engine did not go over. He replied to the official: "I don't know whether you are a Chris tian or not. l am. I never go on a run without committing my train and my life into the hands of God, and when I taw the danger on that occa sion, I put on the emergency brake and reversed the engine, and fell on my kneet by tht tide of the reverted lever and called nmn God In haln ma r r Bn thatemercencv, I believe He did and I believe nothing hot the hand of God saved ut from a most horribli catastrophe." Then an many other, llany rail road men I here known intimately, who love and fear God and who have committed their lives into Hit handt, and they are kept by Hit grace and power. At I said, these an diamonds in the rough and they outihine the tars. I know the greatest statesman who ever lived wee the consecrated Chris tian man, William E. Gladstone, ef England. The greatest ruler that ever lived ws the humble Ghriitian woman, Queen Victoria; the .greatest warrior that ever led an army into battle was the godly, splendid man, General Robt. E. Lee, of Virginia. Christianity it truly the science of manhood, and the best and truest and the greatest grown in e toil fructified by the grace of God. Youn truly, , Sam P.

Harvie Jordan, president of theaxuthern Cotton Growers' Atsocia- tien7 in a speech made before the Far- men' National Congress at Richmond yesterday emphasized the necessity of the farmer being something else than a men producer, if he it to be succau- ful. He mutt ttudy the markets u well. "I again call your attention," he said, "to the importanot of ttudying the markets for your farm produdts in order that you may enjoy more fully the fruit of your labors. In agricul ture the farmen have a double duty to perform if they art to reach that high degree of luccee to richly deeervd." Keeping an eye on the market, a well et on the grouid that it the basis idea of the Southern 0 tton As- tocittion expressed in a new manner, That organisation's funoiioa it to keep the price of cotton at a profitable figure by watching the market b making sure that the world 't production of the ttsple does not exceed the world's oa- paoity for consumption. And if they act in unison, the planter! will bt tbe chief factor! in deciding what the market priou are to be. At Mr. Jor dan expresses it: "With a crop of 14.000,000 bale of eotton representing an estimated tur plut beyond the needt of consumption for 1905 of fully 8,000,000 bales, and facing last January a prioe far below the cost or production, the produoer turned their attention from production to marketing and by curtailing the cot ton acreage, and refusing to tell at cur rent prioea, actually forced an advance Of the prioe in leu than tix months of twenty dollan per bale, and secured the minimum price of 10 cents per pound fixed by them when the world only offered 6 cents and laved them selves and their country from financial ruin and disuter. They have recently, through their properly delegated repre sentative! in convention, fixed the minimum prioe on the crop to be har vested this teaton and the buyers will be forced to respect that price which represents only a fair profit to the grower above the cost of produc tion." . -.- - - The producen of cotton have com bined for the purpose of seeing to it hat the market price of cotton shall never again fall so low as to make the labor of its production a sheer lost. Under the leadenhip of Mr. Jordan they have accomplished wonders. It then not, in this suocess, a lesson for the grower of all farm products f What tbe cotton planters have done cannot all the farmen do? When the farmers get together and make, the market prices they will have no reason to com plain of them. car efLasue Back After It Years of t oarer lag, "I had been troubled with lame back for fifteen yean and I found a oomplete recovery in the use of Chamberlain's Pain Balm," uya John G.

If there ever was a time for the far mers of the South to stand together, that time it the present, . The future of the Southern Cotton Growers' Asso. ciation depends directly upon the atti tude of the fsrmen during the next thirty or sixty days. .The Asbeville convention named eleven cents a pound u the minimum price at which oitton should be marketed this lesson. This action was taken after due deliberation, and not until arguments joro and con were heard. If the farmers co-operate in thii movement they will be certain to come out victorious, not so much in regulating present prices of the staple, but in the effect it will have up an the organization of the planters of cotton in the future. If they fail in their at tempt to regulate the price of cotton the groweis of the Sjutb will be objects of rid cule, and the evil effect that will follow will have wide scops. The far men of the country ttood together last winter and accomplished what they set out to do. That was the first great vic tory. A second victory at this time would be of vastly greater importance to them. It matters little what the in dividual opinion it aa to what figure should be named u tbe minimum prioe at which tbe new crop it to be market ed. Many believe that ten oentt a pound would have been more equitable than eleven cents, while others clamor ed tof twelre and even twelve and a half oentt. The Atheville convention determined upon a happy medium, fix ing the price at eleven cents, and there fore ft is important far all, those who advocated ten cents u well aa those who shouted their approval of twelve and a half, to stand together and carry out the plani t f the Southern Cotton Growers' Association. Without co-op eration nothing can be accomplished. The action of ths farmen during the next month or two will determine to a very large degree whether or not they are to have any control over tbe price to be paid for their product. The whole South ii to be affected by the move ment. It is time for mutual co-opera tion on the part of all Southern interests.
