thanks for this manifestation of their
confidence in me. At our meeting
day before yesterday | offered the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That our cotton be covered
hereafter with cotton covering OF
equal weight all through the cotton
belt; but that we prefer iron ties, on
account Of fire, stretching and time in
tieing.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
all manner of trusts, combines, &C.,
and will work against them to the end
of their existence.
ResolUed, That we solicit every
farmer to plant and SOW more grain,
less cotton and raise more cattle and
hogs for our meats.
Resolued, That we will w again
give our trade to any merchant who
took stock in the bagging trust, if we
know it.
Resolved, That we will not buy any
fertilizer of any company for our next
crops, that refuse to put it in cotton
bags,
Resozved, That if any member OF
our Sub-Alliance refuses to stand
firmly by the action of our State and
County Alliances in their just demands
shall be expelled from this Lodge as
unworthy the confidence of this great
Alliance. These were all adopted en-.
Enthusiastically. My letter is already
too long, but it is because you have
never heard from our Alliance before
you may not again soon.
[ desire to ask you n question
Must a Sub-Alliance Business Agent
lose his time and work for his Lodge
free? Please answer.

sonally, and for your grand paper, !

BRETHREN, KEEP YOUR OWN
COUNSEL.
TOWNSVILLE, N. c., Nov. 20, '88

TOWNSVILLE, N. c., Nov. 20, '8S.
Col. l.. l.. PoLK.-Dear Ser
hand you herewith resolutions adopted
unanimously by our Alliance at the
meeting held on November 18th, 1883.
Our Alliance continues to increase in
numbers and interest. We were or
gained on the 26th of last May with
ten members, and at nearly every
meeting held since we have initiated
new members and now we have fifty
OF our roll and others to be initiated
and more applications on file. Truly,
this grand and noble work of the ALI
ance goes on here and there opening
the eyes of the farmer to his duty in
terest and protection. We have been
benefited financially but we don't agree
with some of the brethren of some
other Alliances of the State in making
public through THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER how, wherein and how much
we have been benefited, for an illus
tration: If we were to say hat we had
made arrangements with a merchant
(using no name) to buy our goods at
a certain per cent less than the regular
price, then the outsiders and other
merchants would watch our move
ments and thereby find out who we
were trading with, hence it would in
jure our business transactions as we'll
as we'll as the merchants trade outside.
The same illustration can be applied
in purchasing fertilizers, &c. Breth-
rem, u business transactions should
always be held strictly confidential
within the room of our Alliance.
Our Alliance will have a basket pic
mic and public speaking on Saturday
December LIST, 1888, and Bros. D. Reid
Parker and DR.. Byrd, of Trinity ALI
ance and others will deliver addresses
on that occasion. And by-the-way, [
think we ought to give Bro. D. Reid
Parker the title, "The old Roman of
the Alliance" for he is so devoted to
the cause Of the Alliance and he is
ever on the alert for the farmers in
tereSt.
Yours fraternally,
j. W. UPCHURCH, Sec'y.

A LETTER FROM PRESIDENT
ALEXANDER.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Nov. 81, 'sS.
l am receiving many letters asking
for plans and information in regard
to cooperative stores. For the infor-
nation of the members of our order.
I will state that the Farmers Alliance
has no plans for cooperative stores.
Its only business system consists of
the Business Agents Of the Sub-Alli,
ances, County Alliances, and State
Alliance.
The Farmers Alliance has no ma.
chinery for creating new merchants,
and [ would respectfully suggest to
all those members who contemplate
organizing cooperative stores to con-
slider the situation we'll. The only
plan of cooperative stores that has
succeeded (of which I have any knowl-
edge) is the Rochdale plan of England.
It is only suited to densely populated
districts, where operatives are paid in
cash at least once a month. A num-
Der of them were started in this u
try some years ago, but | do not know
of any now. It may be easy "to start
a store" but it may not be so easy for
the stockholders, and particularly
those who indorse for it, to retire
from it in as good humor as when
they organized it.
Fraternally,
S. B. ALEXANDER,

afixing the fatal knot about his neck,
and his last struggle while suspended
in the air, and his agonies will exclaim
mo; never !" And yet from a COM
mon neglect and a want of proper
training, such has been the case, and
may occur again. Turn to the fond
mother and tell her that innocent
darling, her own baby girl, the admira-
ton of her heart, will some day be an
inmate of a harlot's abode, a Jude wo-
man, a prostitute. The very powers
that be could not make that mother be-
lieve it; yet such has been the case,
and with the present loose training,
will be the case again.
Who is to blame? Who is respon-
sible, the innocent children or the
parents neglect and failure to restrain;
to impress while young the right ways
and right training? Fathers and
mothers, what say you? Have you
done your whole duty? Are you
doing it now?
Fault rests somewhere, or these
things would not be the fate of sons
and daughters in this land of light and
liberty. Drunken fathers, careless
mothers. Bad children are the result
Of loose training or no training at all.
All [ hear some one say, al know
sober sons and ~virtuous daughters
raised by drunken fathers" I do too,
but show me a case where such results
did not come by the prayers and
through the tears of a mother bowed
down with a load of agony that no
mortal on earth could endure save a
good mother, and that by the free
grace and help of God!
Is there a remedy =? Yes, [ believe
there is. Take this matter home with
us, make amends wherever we find a
fault, with a strict adherence to the
teachings and principles of our order,
and we will soon see morality, virtue,
truth and purity going at a premium.
Then green fields, flowing meadows,
golden harvests, attractive homes and
better society will constitute the polar
star of every boy and girl in our
brotherhood.
Mr.. President, [ insist upon the ex
pertinent. | believe it is worth an
effort. [ am told we have habitual
drunkards in our order, among our
stout young men. According to our
Constitution and literature, such a
thing should not exist. Let us work
for a reform or for an exclusion.
Why, Mr.. President, when [ was a
boy, L could see at our public gather
ings a few old men drunk; and how is
it now? We see the boys drunk and
the old men standing about with long
faces, mournfully regretting the legacy
they have b~equeathed to their children.
Brother Alliance men, let US test
any remedy for this blamable state Of
things, as there certainly has been a
cause for it. Yes, let us make an
effort; make our homes more attrac-
tive, give our children more innocent
amusements; show them, if they are
poor, that there is a higher, a nobler,
a happier and more useful plain for
them to stand upon, and may the
Farmers Alliance ever prosper.

PEERLESS ALLIANCE, Pitt Co., N. c.,
Col. l.. l.. PoLK:-I read all your
editorials, all your clippings, all the
letters and all the advertisements in

| am determined not to lose any part
of our splendid organ.
But let me ask the brethren to "let
up" on the bagging trust. The battle
has been fought and the victory won
and let's turn to new duties and to
new conquests. We are going to make
u bagging hereafter and use our
poor grades of cotton. Don't linger at
the grave of this defunct old trust,
but be up and off after another one.
Crops are fairly good, but such a
cry for seed wheat [ never heard in all
my life. Our farmers are waking up.
Hurrah for the Alliance and it's organ,

Lodge on the third Saturday in
August. l told my brethren that day
that [ had come to stay and to stick,
and | wanted to run our Lodge to one
hundred by Christmas. 1t is still in
the future, but we now number in the
seventies, and seven more are knock
ing at the door. l know it has been
spasmodic, but nevertheless it is true
and tried. The day that [ entered,
my brethren appointed me a delegate

sion to consider the bagging trust. In
said meeting it was unanimously
agreed to use anything but trust bag

HOW TO MAKE THE FARM PAY.
NUMBER. 2.

No man has the right to be igno-
rant. In every department of life
there are way-marks of others who
have gone before. It is unkind of a
father to his children not to take books
and papers on the occupation that he
follows and is teaching them to work
at. Every intelligent farmer should
take some agricultural paper, and if
he takes one that is not the one wanted,
try another. You are thereby teaching
your children to read for themselves,
and if they do not believe what they
read it causes them to think for them
selves. This is the great want-that
farmers will not think.
Have a blank book and every night
in the week let one of the family be-
gin to jot down the work Of the day.
Locate the farm, and name or number
the different fields or lots of land for
garden or farm, the day and date, how
prepared, how. planted. Let every
thing planted have a page and note
the work and cost of each crop. Do
not spend one dime without noting for
what; all money received and for
what article. At the close of the year
post books and jot down all that has
been gathered and growth of stock at
money value, and your farm and stock
history will be of great value to all
the children.
SUCCESSFUL MERCHANTS
do not guess at prices and costs but
lets actual weight and measure decide.
So with your business, you often guess
at the cost of board and clothing for
the family. Set it down at board rates,
and if you do not believe, then take
a large number of children to board
yourself. Solid business here.
But you say we do not have time.
This is when you fail to make the farm
a success. Time enough, but it is not
properly regulated. Have some gen.
eral rules that are observed by all and
all will help to make the farm pay.

ENABLED TO BUY RED SHOES

November -. 1888.

Col. l.. l.. PoLK.-Dear SIR
Wheat sowing, corn gathering and

days, and now the farmers are busy,
whenever the weather suits, preparing
their tobacco for market Our County
Alliance through chosen delegates re-
Gently authorized the opening of an
FARMERS ALLIANCE WAREHOUSE"
in the town of Henderson. l hear that
the farmers are highly pleased at the
good prices and low charges which are
fast making this house famous.
Your correspondent sent down by
rail this morning a small package for
which he expects highest market price,
and in addition, hopes to save through
reduced charges enough to buy the
baby a fine pair of red shoes with blue
strings.
Dabney Alliance, No. 226, held it's
regular monthly meeting on Saturday
last. Among other resolutions was
the following, unanimously adopted:
awe resolve that we fully endorse the
action Of the delegates Zone each from
ten Sub Alliances of the county, Nut
bush and Townsville failed to send
delegates, Bro. II. W. Crews being
u representatives. who met in Hen
derson on Tuesday, October 3Oth, and
accepted on behalf of the County ALI
ance a proposition made by w. H.
Jenkins, Esq, an experienced ware
house man, to sell Jul tobacco, at the
following charges, viz: For weighing,
ten cents per hundred pounds; auction
fee, ten cents peg pile, and in addition,
two per cent commission on gross
amount of sale.
W. also endorse the promise made
by III said delegation "to give to the
new warehouse our hearty support"
and their further action authorizing it
to be called
"FARMERs' ALLIANCE WAREHOUSE"
We further resolve that we are glad
to know that Bro. E. G.. Butler, our
Secretary, is one of the proprietors, and

SHARON ALLIANCE, Nov. Is, 'SS.
Young men with energy, nerve,
vim, pluck and a desire to be up and
doing. Young men who have set up
a high standard Of excellence and who
realize that excellence is the result of
patient and laborious effort. Young
men who have a high endeavor and a
noble aim and whose high aims are
"their countries, their Gods and
truths" Young men who, laying
aside the Stiffness of childhood before
the decrepitude of old age comes on, will
have some time to devote to the prac.
tical and manly duties of life. Young
men who, having obtained a liberal
education, are not afraid to descend
to the common walks Of life; who re-
member that honor and fame from no
condition rise, and who, rather than
disgrace and dishoner a high station
are willing to elevate and dignity a
low one, and whose lives are digni6ed
with the exalted conception that all
the honor lies in acting we'll our part
whatever that part may be. There is
an opinion which largely is obtained
in the South that it is beneath the
dignity of a college-bred gentle
man to deign to run a farm
that it would be "wasting his fra
grants on the desert air." that his
talents and his faculties would rust, that
it would dwarf the intellect, narrow
collibre of the mind, and that what is
gained in muscle is lost in intellect.
Now, while this is too true of farmers
as a class, the fault is largely their own.
For the farmer who has a just appre-
citation of the relative importance of
agriculture; of the many different and
complex problems which enter into it;
who studies plant-food and plant
growth and the difficulties of adapting
crop to soil and manure to crop, rota-
ton of crops, &C., will not pine for
want Of something on which to exer-
else his faculties. When the young
man decides to study law or medicine
or any other "learned profession" he
goes through a special birmingham,
AhS " O1lII1C CIO Ill view. w ucu LIN
completes his college course, he goes
to a law school or a medical college
for special training, and this is as it
should be, but does the young man
who intends to farm need no such
special training? And are there no
agricultural schools and colleges for
him to go to? Certainly there are,
but their patronage is so small that
suspect it is discouraging to try to
run one in this State. This is a poor
commentary on the people of the State,
and we long to see the day when
farmers will see the importance OF
studying the science of agriculture in
those grand institutions.
