EDITOR FARMER.-Dear Sv:-Our
| Alliance was organized in January,
with eight members. 1t has steadily
increased until we now number So,
with two applications OF the table. 1t
is situated in the eastern part of Lin
coin county, on the bank of the beauti-
full Catawba. There is much solid
material in our Alliance; men who
recognize the magnitude of it's object
and have joined to make it to be
something, and not merely to see if
there was anything in it. We meet
twice each month. The average at
tendance is good, and it is gratifying
to see the interest manifested by our
members, especially the young men.
I think I can safely predict a new era
in farming in this section before the
close of another decade. The growth
of our society has been somewhat re-
tarded from the fact that our people
are weary of all new schemes; they
have been swindled SO much. But I
am glad to state that the prejudice
against the Alliance is fast giving way,
and we number among our members
some of those who were most bitterly
opposed to it at first. We dubbed
together and bought our supplies at
New York and Baltimore prices, pay.
ing cash, advancing to those who were
not able, thereby placing all on the
same footing, exemplifying, as l think,
n of the great principles of u
order, besides saving to u members
a vast amount of time, trouble and ex.
pense.
We hope some good organizer will
come into our county and make up
the requisite number to form a County
Alliance. We very sensibly feel the
need of this means of communication
and representation. But as it is, we
stand ready to. cooperate with our
brethren Of the State and Of the South
in carrying out the principles of our
order and helping them ON in the
grand march to victory.
Yours fraternally,
j. B. LUCKY.

EDITOR FARMER.-Dear ST:-For
once 1 ask q small space in the columns
of your valuable paper. The Farmers
Alliance is of great Importance to
every tiller of the soil, and one de-
handing the most earnest considera-
ton of the farm fraternity. To the
most casual observer the time seems
actually at hand when some steps
must be taken to protect us from the
oppressive rule of the country mer-
chants. In my opinion, the movement
already undertaken is a wise n and
ought to receive the encouragement
and hearty cooperation of every
farmer who has one spark of true in
dependence burning in his breast and
desires to see the farmer occupying a
high position among men. Every
other class of people under the sun
organize for protection and they are
gaining power and influence every
year, and unless we follow their
examples, we will soon find ourselves
completely at the mercies of those
moneyed kings or their agents, who
will ultimately reduce us to a state of
poverty and misery unparalleled in the
annals of history. For a proof Of the
wisdom of such an undertaking, we
have only to refer to the great State
of Texas, within whose borders the
Farmers Alliance originated. If the
Lone Star State is made to thrive by
such an organization, why may not
North Carolina do equally as we'll ? It
is my candid opinion if the farmers
will meet and organize throughout
the State, and forever turn their backs
on the blood thirsty country merchants
whose sole aim is to enrich themselves,
without regard to the welfare of the
horney-handed sons of toll and buy
their supplies in bulk from wholesale
dealers, thus saving the ~exorbitant
profits of middle-men, we will o o
find ourselves returned to our indie
pendent condition, and all will be
peace, prosperity and happiness.

L.. l.. PoLK.-Dear Sir and Brother
AS I have seen nothing in your
paper from our Alliance, l have con-
cluded to venture a few lines. Our
Alliance vas chartered September %,
1887, and numbers now about 40
members. We are trying to inform
ourselves on the various questions that
directly effect the farmers interest,
and / think we have accomplished
some good, and if we will be true to
ourselves there is no telling what our
probabilities are. l think we should
be very cautious how we dabble with
outside issues that are calculated to
divide our strength, for division in
our ranks is the enemy's only hope. I
notice a debate going on about the
public roads. 1 wish to ask a few
questions on that subject. Mr.. Turner
tells us how the money is to be raised,
which we all understand, but has left
out the most important part of the
whole matter. Please first give us the
system of management of roads; under
what system are they to be worked,
and what is it going to cost, and in
making your estimate, remember that
it never takes less than three dollars

Mr.. EDIroR:-The Farmers ALI
ance is growing very rapidly in this
community. Although our postofice
is in Johnston our Alliance is in
Wayne county. Our Alliance was
organized April I'd, 1888; it now
numbers over 20 members, and is
rapidly increasing. We hope soon to
have the Business System in opera
ton. AS this is my first attempt to
write for our State organ, and fearing
I may consume too much of your
valuable space, 1 will close. I remain,

fact is already so well known that from coast to
coast his fame has been heralded as one of the

Another test Of his greatness and popularity is
the rapidity with which his get are sold and the
prices obtained from December 10th, 1887, to Janu-
