Architect Morgan on the New
city Hall scheme.

EDITORS HERALD Il wish to correct
mistake in Mr.. Humphreys letter
in regard to my estimate Of resident
improvements south of Sixth street.
My statement to him was: "The
resident improvements would aggre-
gate one-fourth more in value south
than north of Sixth street." that is if
there were four million dollars worth
of resident improvements north, there
we're five million dollars worth south
of Sixth street. am not any advo-
cate of the Sixth street site, and
I consider the change already made
greatly to the advantage of the city,
as any man can see that a more ad-
mirable building could be built on a
corner lot 160xl20 than on an inside
lot 1S0x120 [1SOx165l. You could get
more light, more air and more avail.
able space and greater architectural
effect on the old corner lot.
My idea of proper site for a city
hall is that which is most accessible
to the. whole population. Every tax
payer, every citizen has business at
the city hall; hence it should be
located as near as practicable
to the converging point 81
all the street railroad systems.
First and Main streets is but one block
from every street-railroad line in the
city, and every franchise for one con-
verges within one block Of this point,
hence the nearer, in reason, the city
hall is located to this point the better
for the whole population.
To reach the Sixth street location
one-half the population would have tc
pay two railroad fares, whereas you
have, or might have, location that
can be reached from every part of the
city with one railroad fare. If the
mass OF the population is to be con-
sidered this is important.
To-day four-fifths OF the population
and all the business is north of Sixth
street, and the growth OF population
is greater north than south of Sixth
street. See the vote of the First
Second, Third and Fourth wards.
And while 1 know Mr.. Humphreys il
honest in his advocacy Of the Sixth
street site, and admit that that section
has the most valuable residences, ye
l think him mistaken in his advocacy
of that site.
Population is and always will b,
more dense north than south Of Sixth

Sudden Death.

j. w. Badger, who died suddenly
last evening at 314 Moin street, came
from Colfax, ILL.,, week ago, had on
his person letter enclosed "Im-
portant to J. Y. Badger" stating that
in case Badger died in this vicinity,
he wanted his friend William Nc
Cullough notified. William. Nc
Cullough resides about mile from
Cotton, and is requested to furnish
information to the children of de-

Another Proposition.

1t was stated last night that G. j.
Griffith, on behalf of the property
owners in the vicinity of Washington
street would offer site 600x600 feet
on Central avenue; south OF
Washington street for the new city
hall. In addition to this large
amount of ground the property-own-
ers will present the city with 5000, 900,
and Mr.. Griffith will beautify. the
grounds by putting in fountains,
trees, tropical plants, and will supply
all the water necessary to keep the
grounds in order. This. proposition
will probably be made to the Council
to- day.

A False Alarm.

Last evening as the yardmen were
at work in the Southern Pacific yard,
they noticed a large volume of smoke
rising from the roof of the Southern
Pacific ticket office, and at once
turned in the alarm. L. Jewell, of
the G. S. and A. p. Transfer Com
pany, connected the company's hose
with the hydrant and was ready for
action when engines No. and A ar
rived, but the alarm proved false
one, as the smoke all came from the
chimney in the baggage-room.

Boston Anthenmum Company.

Tomorrow night the Boston Athe-
n@um Company will open at the
Grand Opera House. This company
is made up of a number Of specialists
who are all said to be unexcelled in
their particular lines. The wizard is
said to be good and also the tumblers,
and the amusement to be obtained
from the varied programme is more
than considerable. The sale Of seats
is already very large.

LETTER FROM LENOIR.
INSTITUTE. N. c.. Oct. %. 'S8.

AN>CAAAOAE, ~. W., wv. m, %.
Col. L. L.. PoLK-Dear Sir II
write to you from Charity Alliance,
No. 449, Institute township, Lenoir
county, N. C. Our Alliance is doing
well; we number near or quite rs, and
still they come. We Initiate one or
two nearly every meeting, and they
all seem to be earnest in the cause. To
begin with, let us take sugar, for in
stance: We pay one cent per pound
more for trust and tax than we do for
the sugar. In England we can buy it
for four cents, and here it is ten, with
the trust and tax added, that is good
article of granulated sugar, and it is
the same way with almost everything
we use. How can farmers live under
such heavy extortion .? We cannot,
and sell cotton for eight and nine cts.
We will all soon break if something is
not done to relieve the people of this
heavy and unjust tariff tax. If we
will send farmers to legislate for us
farmers of good standing and judg-
ment,-such as Col. N. B.. Whitfield
and S. I. Wooten, who know and
feel what the farmers need, Gt is writ
ten across their foreheads in large let
ters, mot for sale, y then we may ex-
pect better state of things.
We need men who will take hold
Of these monopolies, railroads and
banks and bring them to terms. It
will take men of strong nerves, men
that will do their duty, let the conse-
quences be what they may. Once
these railroads, bankers, trust COM
panies and all other monopolies see
that the farmers are united and mean
business, and show that they demand
nothing but what is just and honorable,
they will come to terms, for it is in
the power of the agricultural people to
make all classes respect them. The
farmers don't wish to be the lords of
the land; they only want fair show
ing in every respect with others. Give
us this and we will be satisfied, and to
this end we intend to work until we
accomplish the task We need relief
from the hands of those people who
are sucking our very life's blood out.
Common sense, reason and justice
demand redress for the wrongs that
have been heaped upon us. The
farmers are the'only people who pro-
duce anything. They produce all,
they feed all and pay all, and yet they
are less protected than any other class
of people. Can any one give good
reason for this :? Not one. We be-
lieve in respecting all; but if there is
any one class of people who deserve
more respect than another, it is the
laboring class.
All honor to the, hard handed sons
of toll Fraternally,

APEX, N. 4.
I wish l could say something that
would induce every farmer in the
South to subscribe for THE Pro
GREss1vE FARMER 1t is the greatest
educator of our day, and it educates
that class of our people to which "the
millions belong, and with the very
education they SO much need. It gets
better every week Several times
lately, after reading an article in this
paper, I have remarked that "That
article is well worth the price of one
years. subscription" but when I
finished reading "a Strong Indict-
ment,'" in the issue of the l4th inst, I
decided that it was worth more than
I would pay if a life subscriber and
died with old age. Those two articles
in the same issue on Lucerne Read
them over carefully, twice, think about
the subject; 60 right straight and
select lot, prepare it and have it
ready by the spring, SOW it, give it a
fair trial, and if it don't pay you better
than anything you have tried, then I
will say that the parties who wrote
those articles-well, misrepresented
facts. But, what I am writing will
be read only by those who subscribe.
1t reminds me of getting up in Sun
day school and urging the Importance
of going to Sunday-school. You al
ways have to talk to those who go.
The better plan is to urge upon them
the Importance and the great good
they can do by going out and getting
every one they can to come with them
to Sunday y-school. Draw your own
conclusion.
Our editor has offered some valuable
premiums for subscribers. This is
good and proper, but there is a
premium ahead, better, grander and
nobler than any mentioned. IT'S the
education of that class mentioned
above until they know and realize
their power and do for fact "Isling
horse, rider and all into the middle of
Kingdom Come" That will be
premium ! I want to be there when
it is awarded. Amen

Col. L. L. PoLK.-Dear Sw:-As
we have not elected Corresponding
Secretary in our Alliance, the brethren
do not hear from US often was asked
at our last meeting to write to our
worthy paper to inform its many read
ers how we are progressing. We have
about ninety members. We had call
meeting last Friday to collect the notes
for the Business Agency. We col
lected over one hundred dollars and
have about seventy-fve subscribed not
yet collected. Our members are down
on the trusts They have used many
substitutes for the jute bagging. My
father used the pine straw bagging on
jute. The pine straw Tagging is of a
dark mahogany color, weighs two and
half pounds to the yard and stands
all tests such as fire, the compress,
handling with hooks, etc. 1t sells at
present at twelve cents per yard, but
the Acme Company think it can be
made for seven cents when they are
better prepared We think the trust
will prove blessing to the farmers
Of the South, as it will cause them to
make their bagging and keep the
money that they have heretofore sent
to other States. Owing to the exces-
sive rain in the spring, the cotton crop
is coming in quite short. Corn is
somewhat below an average.
The farmers have had fine oppor-
tunity for saving hay, as it has been
plentiful this fall We think if the
farmers would diversity their crops,
and be more self-sustaining, they
would be able to brake up all the
trusts and find how much power they
had. A farmer has many disadvan-
tages, but give me home in the
country where can be free farmer

Our Dumb Animals: Some years
ago the writer was returning home
early in the evening, in Boston, when
he saw standing on the sidewalk fine
looking dog standing perfectly quiet,
and in no way causing the least annoy
ance to the passers; Immediately in
front of me was one of our city sex
tions who lifted his foot clad in heavy
shoe and swinging it back kicked the
dog with all his strength; the dog
sprang forward, bowling, and with
evidence of suffering, ran down the
street. At the moment, the man
turned and said to me, Il always kick
dog when I get chance" OF
course I represented the matter to one
of the leading men of the church, and
he replied: "When his reelection
comes round | will see to him." but
he was not obliged to wait until then,
for very soon after the sexton was ar
rested and sent to prison for stealing.
