MOORE COUNTY FARMERS.

North Carolinians, as a rule, know
too little of each other and of their
State. We should travel and study
our State more and learn more of our
people, of their methods and systems.
We believe this, but were never more
impressed with it's truth than on the
flying trip which we made to Carbon
ton last week. We travelled from
Sanford to that point, traversing the
whole way, the old Red Sandstone
Belt, and we were greatly gratifed to
find such a highly creditable system
of farming as beauties and adorns
the hills all along the route. Mr.. J.
D. McIver and the Gilliams and Coles
and Wilcoxes, and others, would do
honor, as farmers, to any section of
u State. No one can ride along
that route without noting two things:
the good judgment and science dis
played in the system of horizontalizing
their lands in cultivation, and the
good ploughing; two very essential
things in good farming.
The pic mic was a splendid C
in every particular; a large crowd and
a magnificent dinner, ample to meet
all demands. Mr.. D E. McIver, whom
a large proportion of the good people
wanted to make State Auditor, and
Mr.. Allen Jones, a sprightly and
clever young "Tar Heel" and a good
talker, and the writer, made speeches.
We met many warm-hearted friends,
and among them several of cur dear
old comrades. Long and pleasantly
will be remember the good people of
Carbonton and vicinity.

burthens the dragging Trust" pro-
poses to force us to pay to a few men.
the enormou sum of 10000 600 on
bagging. We al and should raise
in the South Atlantic and Gulf States
all the jute that would be required to
wrap our cotton and to make all the
bags we, need. Its cultivation is as
simple as possible and the appliances
for manufacturing it are not costly.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER a year ago
suggested that the cotton farmers of
the South should investigate and con-
slider the expediency of manufacturing
our poorer grades of cotton into wrap
ping for our staple. This could be
done, and. we believe We can demon
strate that it can be done adEan-
tageously. Is. - rs ,a-1e
Fhis, among other great questions,
should engage the attention of farmers
all over the South. If we evef sue
ceed-if we eve come up to the full
measure of the grand possibilities of
this G~od-favored section, we must de-
wise ways and means by which we
car control our cotton crop; and to do
this we must raise u own supplies at
home.

THE BAGGING ROBLE

The farmers are aroused. They
are unanimous in denouncing the out.
rage attempted by the Bagging
"Trust." They may not be able to
meet it successfully this season, but
they will prepare for a repetition if
they are wise and true to themselves.
We a make bagging of the straw
of our long.leaf pine. We. can make
bagging of jute grown in our own
fields. We can make 'baggings Of our
poor grades Of cotton, We can sub
stitute wire for ties. Will the ALI
ancesor the Interstate Farmers Asso-
citation, OF both, take.hold of this i'm
portant matter and solve the problem?
1t can be done. 1t, ought to be done.

down to the lowest figure the price OF
cotton. We hereby demand that the
United States Government adopt a
speedy system Of reduction of the i'm
port duty on manufactured cottons, IN
such a way as to do justice to this, the
greatest Of all classes of producers.
We demand such a revision of the
tariff as will lay the heaviest burdens
on the luxuries and the lightest on the
neeessaries Of life, and as will reduce
the incomes from imports to a strictly
revenue basis.
That as a remedy against the unjust
accumulation and encroachment OF
capital, we demand a graduated In
come tax.
That as upon.the intelligence of the
people dependsthe stability. and purpe-
tuity of our own free Governmentawe
demand for the masses. a well regu-
lated system of industrial and agrl-
cultural education. .a~a =:
That we oppose the continued influx
of pauper labor from the m~onarchies
of Europe,5 whose anarchic views and
,communistie doctrines are breeding
discomfort and disloyalty to law, order,
peace and good government. and by
an overplus of-worthless labor, reduc-
ing our own laboring classes to starva-
ton, we therefore demand more strin-
gent laws to prevent this country be-
ing further used as an asylum for the
communists and paupers of other
countries.
We demand that the Constitutions,
both State and National, be SO am
ended as to provide for the election of
United States Senators by direct vote
of the people.

and all other farmer organizations
throughout the South in resisting this
oppression, and that these resolutions

ABLE READING.

The Office seeker is abroad in the
land. He tells the people that he de-
sires to execute their will. He asks
them to tell him what they want, and
common honesty as well as the best
interests of the country demands that
the people make known their wants.
The Farmers National Alliance at it's
session at Shreveport, La, last year,
set forth some demands on behalf of
the farmers, from which we make the
following extracts: They make up a
strong platform. Read them.
We demand the repeal of the pres
ent National Banking System.
W. demand that the Department of
Agriculture be made one of the de-
partments of State; that it shall be in
creased in scope and efficiency, and in
connection Herewith, there shall be
established a Bureau of Labor Sta.
tistics.
W. demand the enactment of laws
to compel corporations to pay their
employees according to contract, in law
full money for their services, and the
giving to mechanics and Iaborers a
first lien upon the products of their
labor to the extentof their full wages.
Thatathe laws relating to the sup
preston of the transmission of i'm
moral, profanes or obscene literature
through the mails, be made more
stringent, and be extended so as to
suppress the transmission of such
literature by any public carrier.
We demand that'the United States
Government purchase, by right of
eminent domain, the telephone and
telegraph lines, and operate them as
adjuncts TO the United States postal
service.
That in view Of the fact that the
delegates to this body represent a ma
jority of the cotton producers of the
cotton belt Of America, which belt pro-
duces over t%wo-thirds of the cotton of
the whole world, and in view of the
further fact that two-thirds of the cot
ton in the cotton belt is demanded and
used for export to a foreign power,
which likes the price on every pound
of our cotton; and in view of the fact
that the said power is debarred from
returning to this country single yard
of manufactured cotton, thereby max

THE ISSUE TO BE MET.

In the mighty and impending revo-
luton let us get down to the bottom
defects in u system, in order that
the new industrial edifice which we
propose to erect in the South shall rest
on a solid foundation. We may league
the farmers of the South together in
Oranges, in Alliances, in Interstate
Farmers Associations, and we may
adopt solemn and Understanding re-
solves, but until we as a people come
down to solid facts and look the situa-
ton squarely in the face as sensible,
practical men, it will all be for naught.
We should control our cotton crop
worth to us $3.50, OOO, 900 per annum,
and yet We have no more control over
its price, nor option Is to when it
shall be sold, than the inhabitants of
Iceland: Why? Simply because we
buy everything we need and generally
on a credit, and are forced to sell at
such time and at such prices as our
creditors dictate. The policy of buy
ing meat, bread, hay, guano, &C., on
a credit and raising only one crop with
which to pay for it, and that, too, In a
country which possesses all the con-
ditions for producing these things,
economically and successfully, is the
supremest folly. Thousands of trains
laden with the very articles which we
should produce come from Northern
States and pour them out in our
depots and go back empty. This is
what has become of the SIS, 600, 900, 900
which we have received for our cotton
crop since the war. This is the trouble
with us IS a people.
And now to add to our embarrass-
ment and to further augment our

DURHAM AND INTER-STATES
FARMERS CONVENTION.2H

The citizens of Durham, ever alive
to the best interests of their town and
State, a spirit which has made it one
of the leading manufacturing cities of
the South, in response to a call pub
lished in their daily papers, met to
consider the question of rendering an
invitation to the Inter States Farmers
Convention, which will be in session
in this city during next week, to visit
them and accept their Inequalities.
The meeting was largely attended and
the invitation most heartily extended,
as the following correspondence will
show:

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Again we want to say to our cores
pondents that they must give us their
real names if they expect us to publish
their articles. We must have their names
as a guarantee of good faith. And again,
we must ask our friends-all-to con-
dense what they have to say-boil it
down. We are anxious to give as great
variety as possible to our readers, and to
do this the articles should be short and to
the point.

PLEASE NOTICE,

In writing to this Office to change the
address of a paper, our subscribers will do
us a favor by stating the Office at which
the paper is received, as well as the one
to which it is desired to be sent. Failure

work, but much loss of time, when time
is valuable.

APIC MIC AT FoRESTVILLE.

Neuse Farmers Alliances, jointly,
gave a pic mic which was much en-.
joyed by all who attended. The day
was very warm, but everybody seemed
to enjoy it, any way, The lemonade
stand was frequently visited, where
ice and lemonade were plentiful. The
arrangement was splendid; every plan
was executed in the most admirable
manner The farmers manifested
much more interest than is customary
with them.
We were honored by the presence
of Mr.. A. D.. Jones, who made quite
an interesting and enthusiastic speech.
After Mr.. Jones, Mr.. A. G. Green
occupied the stand for a short while,
and he also made quite an interesting
speech. Both MI. Jones and Mr..
Green are practical men, and they
gave the farmers good wholesome ad.
vice, explaining their condition, &c.
After the conclusion of the speeches,
quite an agreeable announcement to
all was then made. It was that the
barbecue was ready. Numerous has,
kets were then brought up, filed with
everything nice that could be desired
on such an occasion. This part the
ladies did SO we'll perform. Some of
the ladies were then asked to assist
the committee in arranging the table,
which was judiciously done. Never
was there MOI perfect order on such
an occasion; everything passed off as
pleasantly as could have been desired.
After everybody had done justice
to the splendidly prepared dinner, the
programme for the day was complete,
and all were left to suggest the way
they would spend the remainder of
the day.
The young folks spent the afternoon
in social chats, strolling around in the
shade of the massive oak trees, &c.
The farmers spent the time in discuss
ing the condition of their crops, farms,
&c, and every group spiced their con-
versation with politics, a topic that a
discussed by nearly everybody. G.

EDITOR FARMER:-I see from the
two last issues of your paper, that the
manufacturers of bagging have formed
a ring and put up the price of bag
ging for no other purpose but to
pocket all the farmers make Now, sir,
| think it is time to call a halt. I am
proud to see that the Alliance and the
Grange of other counties have said
they will not use a yard unless they
come down. Hope you will tring it
before the State Alliance in such a
way that they will take the proper
also at the meeting of the cot
ton States. hope there will be. a
resolution by State and Interstate
we will not use a yard, but wrap
with anything that will hold it to-
/ think we have time, and if
proper steps is taken the cotton fac
tories of the South can and will make
. coarse cloth for the purpose, thereby
using more cotton at home, thereby
encouraging home manufacturers, and
+ that be SO the bagging factories have
