FARMERS MUST BE BUSINESS DONT DEPEND ON LEGISLATION Farmers Can't Expect to be Lifted Into Prosperity Through Legisla tion, But Must Become Business Men Studying Marketing and Pro ductionProduce and Sell Scienti fically. Carolina Union Farmer. Keep it everlastingly in mind that you can't expect farmers' to be lifted into prosperity through legislation and that only limited benefits can come from that source. We must be come business fanners' both in produ ction and mar keting, it vte bring prosperity to the rural district. Whether we have low tariff or high tar iff at all, the farmer who wasts his labor and energy on poor soil will remain in poverty, because poor soils and poor farmers' are inseparable. And even with im proved soils and increased pro duction farmers' as a class must continue to remain in poverty if they do not reform a system of marketing which permits the pu rchaser to price th e pro ducts which they have to sell. The remedy lies wi.thin our own hands, as a class, and not in the hands of politicans. We must produce and sell scien- tincaiiy it we ever get a square deal. It's purely a business pro position that must be worked out in a co-operative business way. The remedy must be ap plied by farmers' themselves, for nobody else can or will'apply it. And we must not lose pati ence because we are not chang ing a suicidal system of market ing any faster. Results that are worth anything depend upon the slow process of education and must keep on educating. We can't expect to change a system of marketing that has been in practice ,for centuries without letting the process of education accompany our work. We are going to win, but it is going to take a long, hard struggle. It's going to ke determination and tenacity of purpose. Through reverses and disappointments we must stand like a stone wall. The weak and faint-hearted must be rallied up and encour aged, and with brave and intelli gent leadership there is no chance for defeat.

PIEDMONT HIGH SCHOOL PLOT TO DRIVE OUT DR. WILEY DEMOCRATS FIRE ON TARIFF WALL REPUBLICAN MACHINE AGAINST : HIM .

Taft Admtstration Has Withdrawn From Its Plot to Drive Out Dr. Wiley, Pure Food Expert Who De manded That AH Prepared Food be Pure and Unadulterated. Washington. Aug, 21. The Taft administration will not now dare to carry out the plot to drive Dr. Harvey W. Wiley from the goverment service. This thought must have sug gested itself time and again to the minds of the menand.women who crowded the Moss investi gating committee rooms and heard Dr. Wiley lay bare the startling facts of a system- ized fight against him be cause he insisted that food manufactured keep their pro ducts pure. At times, as Dr. Wiley told of the fierce persecution he had en dured, his voice almost broke. and he could proceed only with difficulty. At times also the committee members, utterly dumfounded by the doctor's statements, were at a loss as to what questions to ask him next PROTECTING PUBLIC Not only was it shown that Doctor Wiley's efforts to serve the public and protect it from injurious and poisonous sub stances in food preparations had been absolutely blocked by the conspirators in the administra tion headed by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and his con trolling influence. Solicitor Mc- Cabe, but that ithe latest effort to force Dqctor Wiley out of office was based upon a letter which he never received and knew nothing about. Not boastfully or eagerly, but in response to questions by members of the committe. Doc tor Wiley recited tne universi ties at which he had studied, the great scientific societies at home and abroad which have honored him in various ways, and the recital went a long way in re nsurgents are out Maneuvered and Regular Republicans Leave The Hall With Democrats in Charge Underwood Cotton Revision Bill Passed Webb Feels Fine. Washington, Aug. 17 The Democrats, finding themselves in complete control of the Sen ate to-day through the action of regular Republicans in absent ing themselves, passed the Un derwood cotton revision bill. after tacking on to it as amend ments the Simmons bill reducing the duties on mill machinery, the Overman bill reducing duties on chemicals used in the cotton in dustry and others reducing dut ies on iron and steel and coal. WEBB FEELS FINE It was a day full of surprises. and when the wind-up came, the Republican progressives found themselves no longer the mast ers of the situation and the dic tators of tariff policies and schedules, but a disgruntled little band of ten badly-beaten fight ers. . Senators Overman and Sim mons and Representative Webb feel in fine humor tonight. If the cotton bill had to pass they wanted other schedules affecting the cotton industry to be reduc ed at the same time. Represen tative Webb made a fight in the Democratic House caucus for re ductions in duties on iron and steel, chemicals,sugar. dyes and dye stuff and rubber belting. REDUCTION ON SUGAR The Senate Democrats took the same point of view and re duced all thsse duties except the duties on sugar and . rubber belting. The sugar schedule would have been revised had not eight Democratic Senators voted nay. They were Bailey of Texas, Foster and Thornton of Louisiana. Johnston of Ala bama. Lea of Tennessee. Payn ter of Kentucky. Smith of South Carolina, and Williams of Mis sissippi.
