SHOWING.

SoMERToN, Va, Nov. 80, 'S8.
EDITOR FARMER:-As [ have com
pleted the work assigned me in North
Carolina, presume it will be expected
that I give some account Of my stew
ardship as Deputy Organizer Of the
Alliance.
Up to date | have organized $50
Sub Alliances and II County Allan
ces. From Caswell to Currituck the
farmers show about the same amount
of enthusiasm and determination to
fight rings, trusts and monopolies. In
Caswell, Person and Granville counties
we find the tobacco raisers suffering
more from oppression from these
sources than the cotton and peanut
raisers in the eastern counties. Of
course they are more able to bear the
oppression, and the monopolists have
found it out. It seems they have
their business SO systematized that
they know exactly how much bleed
ing the farmer can bear, and they pile
it on. In Northampton, Hertford
and Bertie we found the Grange still
in working order The only section
in the State where the order has
fourished We were told before 60
ing that the Alliance would not sue
ceed there, as the Grange was suffi-
cient; but when light began to dawn
on these brethren who had Struggled
for years to keep up the Grange, they
fell into line and seem to be even
more enthusiastic than others. With
the fine business features of the ALI
ance, we predict d bright future for
these determined spirits who have
kept alive the institution while having
in their ranks the very element they
were trying to protect themselves
against On the two occasions where
we found the Grange halls locked
against us, upon careful inquiry we
found that in both cases merchants
controlled the matter. We charge it
to their account and not to those
whom the Alliance was trying to bene-
fit. Such puny attempts can hardly
lessen the zeal of the brethren or
hinder the progress of the work.

A SISTERS LETTER.

EDITOR FARMER:-Let me tell you
something of the pleasure and profit
of being a member of Maple Swamp
Alliance
In 1888, on the 23d of November,
after the sable Goddess was well
seated upon her ebony throne and had
cast her dark mantle over our land, at
my window came knocking, and IN
bounced a PROGRESSIVE FARMER. His
face as white as white paper, with
beard in fine condition, not even
rumpled at the edges. knew he was
directly from home-so entertaining
and instructive-more so than any
Of his class [ have ever seen. [ be-
gan to wonder why he came. Echo
answered wherefore Do l belong to
'Model Alliance 2" Or must l be
under obligations to our highly
esteemed young brother, l.. l.. Lyon,
one of the most enthusiastic Alliance
men in our section. An intelligent,
industrious and enterprising farmer

beau. By this time you agree with

BLADEN COUNTY ALLIANCE

A called meeting of this Alliance
was held on the oath of November,
and the purpose cf the meeting was
mainly to hear from Bro E. Mears,
our Business Agent, who had attended
meeting of the different county
business agents at Raleigh. There
was, however, other business matters
discussed and the following resolu-
tions adopted, VIZ:
Resozved, That this Alliance adopt
the demands made by the North
Carolina Farmers State Alliance.
Resolved, That we do recommend
Mr.. I. J. Cain, Of Bladen county to
the next General Assembly for Asst.
Door Keeper of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
WHEREAS, The good people of our
State are now annually swindled out
of immense sums Of money by the
sale of bogus leather shoes; therefore
Resolved, That this Alliance do ask
of our next Legislature the passage
Of rigid inspection law, and that all
shoes sold in this State shall be in
spected and suitably stamped, and
that copy Of this resolution be fur
nished to the Sub-Alliances of this
county, and copy be sent to The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER for publication
and that our brethren be requested to
petition the Legislature to this end;
and furthermore that copy be fur
nished our Representative-elect from
Bladen county and our Senator from
this Senatorial district, and that they
are hereby requested to prepare bill
and endeavor to get it passed to carry
out the spirit of this resolution.
E. n robson, Sec'y.

me that it was trick worth copying.
A very intelligent farmer, who has
not recovered from the effects of the
war, wants to learn Of what advantage
can the Alliance be to a man who is
obliged to get supplies at time prices,
and has very little money and pays 8
per cent. interest for the use of that ?
Please answer through your valuable
paper, and I'll lend him my copy, be-
cause | get it cheap.
[ am told there is much rye being
planted in our township. l have seen
this fall a piece of ground spread over
with stable manure, then a layer of
cotton seed, afterward well plowed
and narrowed for wheat; now it is a
"green spot upon the earth.'
[ am pleased to inform Brother
Bill" of Fishing Greek Alliance, that
we have good order in Maple Swamp
Alliance from better causes than the
presence of ladies.
No. 6, "On Waste" must have been
intended for farmers wives. 1t seems
to me we should be glad to give a
neighbor tomatoes for canning when
hers fail-as to buying, they have no
money.
May success attend you and all good
Alliance men. SISTER Il. d.

NEGRO ALLIANCES-MORE
TAFFY CALLED FOR.
GoLDsBoRo, Wayne Co., N. c.,
Dec. 3. 1888


EDITOR FARMER:-Thinking word
from us might do good, and awake a
more lively interest among our mem
bers of Woodland Alliance, No. $40,
towards your good paper, therefore
we write.
We are in fair condition yet;
although the war of the past campaign
stunted us some, we intend to come
fully up to our obligation in assisting
our Trade Agent; we feel thankful
that our members all seem to have the
utmost confidence, in our State Presi-
dent and Agent, and we intend to
stand by them We endorse every
word of E. A. S. on "Our condition,
and what shall we do 2" and hope he
will continue to encourage our people.
Our people are somewhat excited
over the announcement that negro
Alliances are being formed in the
State. Is such the case [ tell them
they must not confuse themselves over
such side issues; that the hope Of the
country for the better lies in the white
people, and they must march on, ever
looking out for the obstacles that are
in our pathway, doing us damage, and
not look backward at that which is
following and can do us no harm, pro-
vided we ourselves do not mix and
mingle in the muddy current March
onward, my brethren; do that which
is right and for the betterment of our
condition, and as we capture the forts
that are damaging us, las the jute
trust, for instance insert something
therein that shall continue to do us
good. And while wesshink thenegroesi
had better let the Alliance alone and
see the glory of the Lord, through
Israel, yet he that is not against us
ought to be for u.s. Now for Heavens
sake give us a little more of the taffy
such as yours of November 9th
brings. Never believed in taffy be-
fore. Yours fraternally,

EDITOR FARMER:-Now that the
election is over and the excitement
about died out, it would be we'll for US
to begin to talk about what the next
Legislature should do, and thereby
let them know what we want
A great many people in this part OF
the State want something done with
the homestead law. There can be
nothing that could operate more
against the farmers than this. They
have got in such a condition that it is
about impossible for them to run with
out some credit, and they can't get it
without giving mortgage, and after
giving one they can't get credit from
any one save him who holds the mort
gage, and only at the very highest
prices, then [ have known of corn
being sold at $1.25 per bushel on
mortgage when it was only worth rs
cents cash. Who wonders at poor
men growing poorer and rich men
richer at that rate ? don't Let
UlS SutpiJA1b ~ tIiC DOOplO
an amendment to the Constitution to
do away with the homestead law, and
let a mans property stand good for his
debts, and [ think it will be much
better for all.
It might be we'll to say something
about whom we want for y. S. Sena-
tor A. NJ Waddell, S. B. Alexander
and G. M. Steadman are spoken Of. [
think either of these gentlemen would
make an excellent Senator, or, at least,
much better one than Gen. Ransom.
The Alliance is gradually gaining
favor in this community and the very
best men are going into it. We enjoy
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER very much.
Long life to it and its noble editor
who is doing such a grand work for
his country. G. D. WEST.

COL L. L. PoLK-Dear Sw:-I
never see much said about this part of
our county. But you will let the
readers of The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
hear from us. This Alliance, No. S38,
is in a prosperous condition-all in
harmony and in good earnest; there are
very few in this place who are not
members. [ wish to tell the readers
of The FARMER of a good time we
had some time ago. We were invited
to take dinner with an aged lady of
this neighborhood; it was on her 10Th
birthday. That day was celebrated
by her sons and daughters at her
homestead, and she was looking well
and in good spirits. After dinner it
was amusing to see the little ones
gather around grandma to receive
their little presents, none of which
were turned away empty. We want
to tell your readers the relationship
that exists between her and the Farm
ers' Alliance. She has two sons that
holds the Office of President, one SON.
in-law Vice-P President, one son-in-law
who is on the investigating committee
and correspondent for The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER; one son Secretary
and three grand sons Asst Door Keep
ers. While writing this we feel like
saying hurrah for this good old lady
and the Farmers Alliance
Fraternally yours,
SECRETARY

EDITOR FARMER:-A man once said
al write on rest days when l have
nothing else to do. And find only
one dificulty-what to put into the
letter, and what to leave out" Now,
Mr.. Editor, were I to initiate his ex-
ample in writing, [ would find more
than one difficulty, and the greatest
one with me would be, l would never
write at all.
If man, who makes his living by
farming, succeeds in paying his guano
bill this fall out of his cotton crop and
has enough money left to buy shoes
and clothing for his children, to say
nothing of what his wife or himself
may need or want, can find nick of
time in which he can say I've nothing
to do, he can beat me. But, my ALI
ance said that must write something
for your paper and as [ succeed in get
ting you up five new subscribers on

the poet who carried poems in his
head for weeks and wrote them at his
leisure. AS | have only gotten this
letter in my head since supper, and
and write it at my opportunity, since
the baby has quit crying and wife has
got it to sleep and put it in bed.
