TO THE. MEMBERS, OFFICERS
AND ORGANIZERS OF THE
FARMERS ALLIANCE OF
NORTH CAROLINA.

Considerable confusion, annoyance. ana
delay, has been caused by conflicting con-
%structions placed on our law governing
the payment of quarterly fees and dues
The law, it must be admitted is not very
clear on this point, but when by close an
alysis and investigation its true meaning
is ascertained, we should accept and adopt
it as our guide. This is a matter OF SO
much Importance that l have gwen II
much thought and the following are my
conclusions: ~
All initiation fees must accompany the
application for membership. r.
All dues must be paid quarterly.
The Constitution, Section 3, Article y.
says: dr. - ~
"The Secretary of the Subordinate
Alliance shall send, with his quarterly
report to the County Alliance, twenty
five cents for each male member Initiated
during the quarter and ten cents dues for
each memale member Of his Alliance re-
ported for the quarter"
The Constitution and the whole theory
upon which our order is operated, pfesup-
poses that these fees and dues are due
and are paid in advance.
To illustrate: An Alliance is organized
during the present quarter (between Jan
uary lst and the 31st of March), each
male member pays the fee of fifty cents,
i'm advance.
When the Secretary makes up his re-
port at the last meeting held for the quar-
ter he receives on that day the quarterage
of all the male members on his books
rs cents each. These dues are not for the
present quarter, but for the ne1t quarter
~beginming April the 1st So, all his
male members have paid their ini-
tiation fees and call the male members
reported for the quarter" have also paid
their dues not for this quarter but for the
mert quarter, and they. are "paid in adj
vance," =
The State Secretary has been instructed
to issue blanks to the Secretaries for the
quarterly reports, in conformity with this
ruling, and an explanatory circular to &C
company the blanks.
Fraternally,

Col. PoLK-Dear SSr and Brother:-
We now have more than 20 sub
Alliances in this county; most of them
are prosperous. [ cannot claim much
credit to myself, but fortunately we
had the assistance of several good and
kind brethren, and I know whereof I
speak. The order in this section is
generally made up of. the very best
material, and as you cast your, eye
over the names of officers and charter
members, you will find men that are
well known for their social and pro-
fessional positions and, the honorable
places filled by sthem i'm county and
State, to say nothing of our. ~eclesias-
atieal bodies. Alliances have. been.or-

dent; C.. Porter, Secretary. But little
personal motive has yet cropped out.
Guano and politics have not been alb
sorbing. How to make home happy,
maintain farmers banks, avoid the

defend our tenets against monopoly,

Although the necessity Of some
such measure among the industrial
public was fully conceded by all, this
matter was deliberately considered for
several weeks, at the places afore
mentioned, but none of them organ

Col. L.. i. Polk, SEC'Y S. h. A:
Dear SCI respectfully submit

when the County Alliance was organ

sub-Alliances:
On January 30th, according to ap-
pointment, we met a number of farm:
ers at Proghs and organized an Ali
ance with Is members. President,
w. J. Judd; Secretary, w. E. Tucker:
Proceeding thence to Sandy Creek
Alliance organized on January 11th)
we initiated seven members,
making; their number at that time
-January 3lst-22 members.
Moving on to Centreville, we met
a goodly number of toilers who were
ready to unite with their brethren to
do anything honorable that would
elevate agriculture, where we organ
lied Centreville Alliance, February
1st, with Is members. President, ?.
G. Aston; Secretary, E, B. Perry.
We them Sent appointments to
Hockey Fork and Dukes Store neigh
borhood; the former. place we visited
February 9th and met in a new and
commodious church. We organized
Hockey Ford Alliance. President.
R. F. Gill; Secretary, w. P. Cook.
On February 10th we organized

ruary 25th, and organized. President,
NJ. A. Griffin; Secretary, u. Wilder.
On Monday, February 9th we
visited Mt. Olivet, and organized with
the usual favorite number-lS. Presi-

ganized Pope's Chapel Alliance with
IL members. President, J. H. Jones,
Secretary, G. D. Levister.
This gives Franklin county 81 ALI
ances, all in good working order, and
all rapidly growing in numbers. There
WIS DuSA OPPSSAo4oA w ehO
from some quarters at first, but most
of that opposition has subsidized, and
some people have been taught that
farmers have rights as well as other
people, and that they have the same
rights as other American citizens,
that is to organize for the purpose of
improving their condition, if they see
proper to. do SO. The work of the
Alliance in that county, it is estimated,
will save to the farmers twenty thou
sand dollars on fertilizers alone, this
year, to say nothing of its grand bone
fits in other directions.
In this my last report from that
county, allow me to express my sin,
cere thanks to the people for many
acts of kindness and the hospitality
shown me while labotfng among
them. F~raternally yours,

Will make the Season of 1888 at Raleigh, N. c.,
limited to thirty Mares, at fifty dollars for the
Season. Season, from February list to June 18th,
1888. .
Happy Medium 400, the Sire of Robert Medium
1897, was the most illustrious t~rotting bred horse in
the world. A correspondent of the Spirit Of the
Times says this of him: "There is no occasion to
mention his greatness as q Sire of Tfotters, as that
fact is already 80 well known that from coast to
coast his fame has been heralded as one OF the
greatest, if not the greatest, living Sire of 2:3O trot-
ters."
Another test of his greatness and popularity is
the rapidly with which his get are sold and the
prices obtained from December 10th, 1887, to JanU-
airy 23d, 1883. The price obtained for eight of his
colts was $11, $50.
Robert Mediums Dam was the McAuley mare, by
Yankee Tricks, Sire of Dram Maid, 2:37, and
others; her Dam a B ellfounder mare. The 4cAuley
mare is the Dam Of Meta Medium 2:22111, double
team record with Maxey Cobb, 2:15A, and the fast
est public record ever made.
Maxey Cobb Robert's half brother) has the fastest
Stallion record -:134-in the world to his credit.
Robert Medium is one of the purest gated, best
broken and fastest horses to be found in the South
ern States; has never appeared in a public race, but
trotted the old track of the North Carolina Agricul-
tural Society in his three year old form In 2:s3, and
repeated in 2:37; q rate Of speed that no horse ever
before accomplished. He Is sure foal-getter and

The TPue FDiCure.

The true epicure would no more dream
of taking away the sharp edge Of future
appetite by over indulgence than barber
would of opening a tin can with razor.
He weighs his pleasures and pains too
nicely to be caught in such vices. A fall
lacy is that an epicure always needs the
choicest delicacies to stimulate his appe-
tite. On the contrary, the art Of the cpl
curism consists in the ability TO get pleas
ure out of the most commonplace articles
of food by preparing and eating them
properly. OF course the epicure prefers
Chambertin to Macon, Canvasback duck
to roast goose, for the same reason that
he prefers the fragrance of wood violet
to that of a coarse hot house flower; butt
on the other hand, he alone knows what
an oriental rose garden of magic perfumes
may be found in the simplest crust or
whole meal or graham bread and butter,
though ordinary mortals may easily con-
vince themselves of their existence by
eating a slice and allowing the exhaled air
to pass slowly through the nOse.-San
Francisco Argonaut.

Attention, Lovers Of Fine Fruit

The undersigned citizens of Nc
Minnville, Tenn, with pleasure re-
fer buyers of fruit trees, vines and
strawberries of all kinds to r. H.
Ellsworth, Proprietor of the Noun
tain City Nursery, of McMinnvile.
He carries the largest and finest
stock ever grown in this section.
Near twenty years experience and
fair dealing in the the Nursery bust
ness brings him to thefrontranks. He
is honest in his selections, sales, and
prompt in shipments, and lives in
the great fruit center-hundreds of
acres of fine fruit around him give
advantage in selecting his buds and
gratis over other nurseries. Since
June 9th he has been exhibiting fine
fruits of his growing, early peaches
and apples. July the 9Th he exhibit
ed Crawfords' early peach, weighing
eight ounces, and on comparing it
with its picture on the plate book, it
was equal to it if not finer in appear
ance and size, it was grown on Jesse
Locks farm in Warren county, from
which Mr.. Ellsworth has budded ex-
tensively. Mr.. Ellsworth has now
this early variety and many other va
rieties both early and late for sale at
his nursery. We learn that he has
raised sharpless Strawberries this sea-
son with poor culture to measure 5
inches in circumference, and has sold
more than $40 worth per acre each
season for two years, with q drouth
to contend with in May, the berry
season. We never knew a failure in
this early and delicious fruit. 1t is
very large and fine and the vines can
be purchased cheap at this nursery.
Would it not be better to grow more
sharpless and less other crops not so
profitable? 1t is believed that straw
berries, with favorable culture, will
yield $4,000 per acre or more. We
take pleasure in recommending said
r. H. Ellsworth as an honest, up
right citizen, who will fulfill his
promises promptly, therefore it is to
our interest to buy ourfruit trees from
such man.
