We learn that the subordinate ALI
ances of Cabarrus county will meet on
the 22d inst. to organize their County
Alliance.
Alliance No. 90, of New Light
township, of Wake county, offers a
reward of $50 for the arrest and de-
livery Of J. W. Mangum, who stabbed
and killed Bro. P. H. Emory, on the
25th day Of December last.
Alliances were formed last week at
Rives Chapel, Green's Mills, and Ais
tons School House. The weather
was so bad that it interfered with the
movements and success of the Deputy
Organizers, Messrs. Bland and John
ston.-Pitsboro Home.
The Mountain Creek Farmers Club
delivered to it's members twenty tons
of guano at our depot on last Monday
and Tuesday. The Club bought direct
from the manufacturers. Messrs. J. A.
Ingram and j. L. Galloway are the
active managers, financially and other
wise, of the Clubs business operations,
and better appointments could not
have been made. The latter, who
gave us the pleasure of a call on Mon
day, informs us that not less than fifty
tons of guano will supply the demand
of the Club this year.-Rockangham

Bro. H.. G. Clegg, of Rocky River
Alliance, Chatham county, writes US
as follows: IL have the pleasure to in
form you that our Alliance is moving
forward finely. We organized in
January last and now number about
fifty members. All the best men in
the community joined and the outlook
is exceedingly encouraging. Let us
all continue to work earnestly and we
will succeed"

of the State, and the work still goes
bravely on. We suppose the design

Like that, the Farmers Alliance is a

Some of the politicians of the South
privately tell their friends that the
farmers of this section are lazy and
ignorant. And yet these same politi-
clans endeaYor to keep them ignorant
in order to live as Congressman at
Washington. The fact is, Southern
farmers are hard working men, duped
by cunning po1iticians.-1He Hot Blast.

In writing to this Office to change the

us a favor by stating the Office at which
the paper is received, as well as the one

Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail
road proposed to him, that if he
would sell the railroad company, at a
nominal price, half interest in his coal,
lands, they would furnish half the
money to extend the, branch road (un-
der charter obtained for the purpose)
up to the coal lands, and would operate
the branch road with their rolling
| stock.
He acceded to their proposition,
and the road was accordingly built,
and operated under the agreement up
to the middle of last April, and many
thousand tons of very superior coal
were shipped to this and other States.
just before the last, mentioned date:

these railroads, Cast Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia. and the Knoxville
and Ohio) and alsosa control Of all the
coal lands in the Coal creek section,
except those owned by our citizen, who
by this time had acquired a two-thirds
interest in other coal lands on the same
branch road, and had tenants (Heck
and Petree) operating mines on it.
This Syndicate" "trust" Or "com-
bine," as is usual with such "com-
bines,' wanted the entire control Of
all the coal lands in that section, as
they could thereby better further their
selfish ends, after the fashion of
their order. They informed our citizen
that unless he gaze them the control Of
his lands by transferring to them 81 per
cent. Of the whole, and make 1t perpetual
By putting 1t into a stock company, or
"trust" they would "squeeze him out"
He declined, and they ordered their
officers at Coal creek to refuse to
furnish or haul cars to and from the
mines in which he was interested, but
to continue to furnish them to miners
on the same branch road, who were
operating on their coal lands, or in
their interest. Therefore, Heck and
Petree appealed to the Interstate
Commission.
We have been particular to give the
salient points in this case, as it is one
of recent occurrence and We want the
honest, liberty-loving people of this
country to see the prospect that is be-
fore them if they fail to put a check
to these greedy monoplies. 1t is known
to the readers of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER hat from the beginning of it's
existence it has favored the establish
ment of a Railroad Commission for
our State. 1t has done so because it
believes that it would be for the very
best interests of not only the people,
but of the railroads.
When we are told that Northern
turnips, potatoes, cabbage, apples, &C.,
can be brought to the city of Raleigh
from Northern markets and sold for
less than similar products of our own
farmers because of the unjust dis
ordinations in freights against our
farmers, we do not hesitate to say
that people should demand a com
mission at the hands of our legislature
that will do justice between the rail-
roads and the people.
This effort was made in our last
legislature and the people of many of
the counties would be surprised if
they knew who the men are, who
aided by their votes in defeating it.

Waco evening news. (Waco, Tex.) 1888-1889, 1888-07-25

Childress, Tex, July %. - Last
week two cowboys from the Shoe
Nail ranch reported that they had
found at the Jonah Creek, in the
northwestern part of this county, the
dead body of man about five feet
tall ami about so years of age, Justice
of the Peace John Grigsby was noti-
fled and went there and held an in
quest over the body. From him we
learn the following: The man came
from the north, travelling through the
country in slide or sled drawn by n
horse. When found the man had
evidently, been dead several days.
The cayotes had eaten so much
flesh from his body the further identi-
fication than that above noted cam
not be given. The mouth of Jonah
Creek Is several miles from any resi-
dence. The horse was also found
dead near the body. The man was
poorly clad and there was nothing of
any value found with the body.
From letters in his pocket the name
of the man was ascertained to be Nor
ton. There was letter from Mary
Silver, of Hamilton, Ohio, showing
Mr.. Morton to be brother of that
lady. His sister has been notified.

The Sioux tribe of Indians have a
reservation of twenty-five million acres
in Dakota. Rumors that the reserva.
ton is open to white settlement has
brought big pressure on the reserva-
ton and excited the Indians. The entire
tribe is gathering about Fort Yates to
between five and seven thousand. A
commission appointed by the president
is on the ground to confer with them
and a grand pow-how will start in day
or two.

Politics, trade and even religion just
now are secondary to the care of the
health. Temperance in eating and
drinking, care about exposing ones
self to sudden changes, a careful re-
gard to the conditions of the streets
allies and yards are just now cardinal
virtues which eclipse all other con.
siderations.

A.N INCONSISTENCY.

Those persons who in 1884 threw
up their hats and cheered the free
trade speeches Of Hon. Roger Q.
Mills, and now denounce him for the
free wool plank in his tariff bill are
guilty of a great inconsistency. If
free trade is good as whole it is good
in its parts. If free trade is the right
policy applied to the entire imports Of
a country it is good policy for any one
single product either of the farm or
factory. To cheer free trade as an
entirety and denounce it in detail is as
illogical as for a church member to
approve the ten commandments as a
divine law and kick on the sixth or
seventh. There are too many of that
kind of Christians and too many of a
similar kind Of democrats. Mills has
met with nothing but approval from
his constituents all through his record
on free trade and now when he comes
to put the theories for which he was
cheered into practical operation there
is kick. What are politics good for
ifthey are not for practical application.
If it be urged that if free trade is
adopted, it should be as a whole, 1t
may be said, and it is what every man
knows, that this is impossible. The
only fight which can be made against
the giant protection must be by sap
ping and mining. The protectionist
who is wool grower may consistently
rail against free wool but the free
trade democrat who howls stultfies
his own record. If he declares that
free wool will ruin the wool industry
then he denies that free trade is good
policy, when he says it will drive
Texas sheepmen out of the business,
then he asserts that protection is good
for wool and free trade is bad and
gives a black eye to his own record
and in this is wholly and completely
Inconsistent The fact is the kicking
free trade democrat is wrong and
Mills is right. Mills is consistent and
he is Inconsistent. 1t is marvel Of
Representative Mills that he is always
consistent and this with his bold, out.
spoken candor on all public questions
gives him his magnetic power and en-
forces respect without regard to opln-
ions on his policy.

A Russian Wedding.

with canopy, ring and breaking of the
goblet, was solemnized at Light
stones Hall, last evening, by Rabbi
1. Fleischman. The groom is Danial
A bramsky, and the bride was Pauline
Friedman, both of Russian families.
The bride wore a costly gown of pale
pink satin, with ample train, fan to
match, and was adorned with
orange blossoms. All the other ladies
were in holiday dress, and the gentle
men, including the groom, in Ordina-
ry business attire. All the ladies
carried home made boquets, and the
older men wore their hats Throughout
the festivities, which began at 8
O'Clock and lasted until 2 p. m. This
practice, and the adornment of their
faces with full bushy boards, are dis
tinguishing marks of orthodox Ju-
daism. The refreshments consisted
chiefly of cake, milk, fish and coffee,
served on dishes provided by the
brides parents; the corterer's outfit
being tabooed by their articles of
