Third, we want the law-making
power of this State to declare habitual
drunkenness a criminal offence. Gods
law places it in the same catagory with
murder-neither the murderer nor the
drunkard can inherit the kingdom Of
-Heaven-but according to our law,
the penalty in one case is death while
in the other, the man has committed
no crime at all. Now we want law
to declare it at least a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine of ten dollars for
every time he gets drunk and abuses
his family, or any one else, and every
time the offence is repeated to double
the fine last imposed. gaze
Now, the way to get such laws as
we need is for each neighborhood to get
up petitions asking for them and pres
ent to the General Assembly when it
meets this winter in Raleigh. A good
plan would be for each Alliance to
appoint committee whose duty it
shall be to circulate said petition and
secure signatures to the same.
In addition to the above, we desire
that the jurisdiction of the justices of
the peace shall be enlarged. We don't
want the magistrates to be allowed SO
many days in which to list the taxes;
some townships have as many as ten
days, when one man can list the taxes
in three or four days, and transcribe
them too. Our taxes are too high;
they are burdensome- The people
want relief. Will not their organ stir
up these matters and keep them before
the people, that relief may come We
believe it will. Fraternally, s+

SANDY PLAINS ALLIANCE, No. 922,
LATr1MoRE, N. c., Sept, 19, '88.
Col. l.. L. PoLK-Deor Sir i
think there is some legislation needed
for the benefit of the farmers in this
and other counties of the State, and,
with your consent, I will mention
some Of the things the next Legisla-
ture should give attention.
First, we want the cotton weighers
done away with, and our cotton
weighed and branded before it leaves
the gin, and the ginner who weighs
the cotton to be sworn to give just
weight, and that weight to stand for
our selling weight.
Second, we want the law against
carrying concealed weapons so amend
ed as to make it fine of twenty five
dollars for every offence, and the
money appropriated towards keeping
up the public roads, or something else
as good.

NEWS FROM NASH.

OAKLAND, N. c., Oct. 2, '8S.
EDITOR FARMER Sir Il will
write once again to let you hear from
our section Our Alliance, No. 66l,
now numbers 53, and all are hitched
up ready to pull, with several petitions
on file, and two to initiate next meet
ing. I think this is doing pretty well
for a thinly settled neighborhood, but
hope the time is not 7far distant when
every eligible person within our limit
will unite with US to help pull down
and break up some Of the calculations
of the monopolies and trusts who are
robbing the poor farmer and working
people out of millions of dollars an
nually. God speed the time when
all such ordinations to cheat and
steal the peoples money is to be num-
bered among the things of the past.
Our Alliance at it's last meeting passed
resolutions condemning the bagging
trust, and will not use one yard of
trust bagging unless compelled by me-
cessity. In the midst of our prosperity
we were called upon to witness scene
of sadness. Our beloved and esteemed
brother and President was called to go
to that Land from whence no traveller
returns; but, while we bow with hum
BILE submissions to Him who worketh
all things for his own glory, we cannot
help feeling sad at the loss of our
brother. Yes, we feel assured that
our loss is his eternal gain. -
We learn that Bro J. I'll. Exum will
deliver public lecture at Pleasant
Grove Church, near Oakland Alliance
Oct. 9th, at 2 o'clock, p. m. Cotton
picking time is here, but owing to
both dry and wet weather it will be
very short for there is not very much
to pick. Corn is not very good, and
a great deal of fodder was ruined by
the rain but hope there will be enough
made after all. Success to The Pro
GREss1vE FARMER and it's editor.
