The Farmer and Hie Banker. In the face of the approaching boll weevil and the steady increase in price of the necessities of life, which have for the past several years been shipped in from tho north and west, our farmers must change their business methods. The independence of •the Mississippi farmer will be certain when he raises his own bread and meat or can buy home grown products at reasonable figures.

Now softened suns a mellow luster shad, The laden orchards glow with tempt ing red; On hizel boughs the clusters hang em browned, And with the hunting horn the fields resound. —Old September Poem. Well we should say so, and tbe mel low horn of Mr. Morgan will awake the morn, bidding us garner for the bins and cribs in which we labor for his royal nibs. The summer ended and the blower on, tbe respite over and the money gone, and Rockefeller as we drill along, bowing and hoping we are well and strong. The seaside sojourner will quit tbe shore, and the summer girl will line up three or four conquests in puppy love she has around, and choose the one that is to go undrowned. Tbe which selection from the litter bom of summer madneBs she will then suborn with things sufficient to unlock its eyes, and hurry homeward with the gasping prize. Tbe busted tourist will return from France with hotel stickers stuck upon bis pants, and tarred and postalcarded by his friends, will reap the penalty of wbat be sends. They'll waltz him up and down upon a rail, and alter nately turn bim head and tail, or howsoever they may best enjoy the vinws in Venice or tbe Bite of Troy. The festive calf will blithely sniff and snort, and deftly tip up where the hsir is short, and in tbe quiet even afterglow the quail will pipe bis dul cet piccolo. The bold insurgent will in surge the more,and fill tbe planet with his dreadful roar, and each one betting he will not be last, tbe autumn candi dates will gallop past.

It is related of that ancient time that sweet September in tbe Ro man clime was hot as blazes, and the union file could only march about a half a mile.

Night Phone Ne. 210 Day Phone No. 40 Educational. It appears to me that one of tbe greatest needs of our southern people is a higher standard of education, es pecially along agricultural lines. It just as reasonable to suppose a man could succeed in tbe practice of medi cine without any knowledge of medi cine, or the anatomy of tbe human body, as to believe a farmer can suc ceed in farming without any kowledge of the elementary principles of farm ing or bow to earn toi and improve bis land. No doctor, lawyer, or any oth er professional man can make a suc cess without educating themselves, es pecially, along their line of business. Nor can the farmer succeed without an education along bis special line of business I am glad to nay, and I think I am justified in saying that there has al ready been a great awakening to the situation in this diiection in the past two years. We see tbe legislation of our states doing more in this direction than ever before. We see a general awakening to the dire neod of a higher, broader and more complete standaid of education in every sense of the term yet this education must be practical. All the literary education attainable is worthless without tbe ability to put it into practical use. We need an edu cation that will enable us to battle with the stern realities of life success fully, and to cope with the problems of Life as they may arise before us— undaunted and undismayed. We need an education that will cause us to see beyond the confines of our narrow, seifisb nituies, and cause out minds to float above tbe stagnated waters of a sinful world and launch out into the purities of Peace and Love of our great creator, and thereby fulfill tbe mission for which He created us. Just here I must say in behalf of tbe furtners educational and co-operative union of America and for the benefit cf those that do not belong to its ranks, that its bedrock and foremost principle is education, with its next principle co-operation, with no desire to antagonize any fair and legitimate business, but only asks for a fair plav and square deal, the golden rule being its motto, with equity and justico to tbe masses instead of favor and advan tages to the classes it demands. A better educated more prosperous people in every way, both financially, politically, socially and religiously. I am glad to say that a causal survey of the signs of the times presents a marked change in tbe general conditions and methods of farming in tbe past two years. We see better tools and better teams being used than ever before, with bettei preparation of the land and better di versification of crops. And more in terest in stock raising, which all tends to making the farm more self sustain ing which is tbe southern farmers on ly salvation. When these problems are all met with successfully, the greatest of which is a higher educa tion, then it will be that condlience, peace and harmony will reign where distrust, strife and sin now dwell With such a great reward at stake let us battle hard and faithfully for vic tory, then when the evening of Life has come this life's work is done, we can lay our armors down and wrap tbe draperies of our couch about us and lie down as to pleasant dreams to await the resurrection morn, and there re ceive tne crown that awaits tbe final W.
