Conductors ON line OF street ears in
Chicago lately made extra earnings by
skillful manipulation of tickets which the
company issued, twenty-five for dollar,
beginning January /. Immediately the
conductors ceased To turn in any cash
fares they may have collected, and by con
yerting money into tickets, turned into
ther own pockets ten cents of every dol
lar. They made the grand blunder of not
sailing their returns with little cash,a
the company at once saw the little game
and spoiled it.

A FEW THOUGHTS FOR THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-I wish to make some
suggestions for the farmers and land.
owners of North Carolina. 1t is this:
Let the farmers control the Legisla-
ture and then pass a law for the State
to issue bonds to run say ten years at six
per cent, and take a mortgage on any
or all swamp land; put the convicts to
draining our swamp lands with the
anne kind of dredging machines that
is now being used to drain what is
known as the Big Swamp in Robson
county. My son wrote me that the
machine at work in that swamp cut
out thirty yards a day, tw~enty-six feet
wide, eight feet deep; doing the work
of seventy-five hands, and only takes
four hands to run the machine. Now
this machine put into South River at
Beaty's Bridge, would canal out twenty
or thirty miles in twelve months. This
river is made up of lakes and narrows,
say two-thirds to three-fourths of the
way are lakes which are from eight to
fifteen feet deep which would require
no work. Suppose this was done in
South River, Harrison's Creek, Colley
and all our swamps, it would add ten
times the present value of them. The
state could not be more safe; the n
tire country benefited. The railroads
have had the convict labor some
twenty years, now let the farmers
come IN for a showing and make and
develop the country to support the
railroads and make themselves and all
prosperous. Ijust hint at those things
to bring out more able advocates on
this matter. Il am,
Yours,
j. G.. BLOCKER.

W. Baines, President. Last Friday
was a day long to be remembered by
all those who were present at the
county meeting Of the Alliance. The
writer, by good luck, happened to be
one of those who were favored with
the opportunity of being present on
this. occasion. Never before was there
just such a crowd assembled together,
except at the organization, in Nash
county, as there was last Friday. Per
feet harmony prevailed throughout
the entire meeting. Crops are looking
tolerably well in this section at pres
ent, but r needing rain. Success to
