HALIFAX CALLS FOR AN OR

CRowELL's, N. c., March &c, '99.
Col, L. l.. PoLK.-Dear SIR: Will
you allow me a short space in your
valuable paper? I have been a reader
of THE PRoGREssIvE FARMER about
two months, and I am SO well pleased
with it that l look forward to it's COM
ing every week. I look over the list
of organizers every week to see if
there is not one for this county, but
have not seen one yet, or the organi-
cation of a single Alliance in this
county. I was up in Nash county
week before last, and as the Morning
Star Alliance met near where l was
stopping, 1 went out to see if [ could
learn anything, (but of course was not
admitted, not being a member). l
tried to find out when an organizer
would come to this county. One OF
the members told me if I would write
to Col. Polk, he would send n to
this county, which l hope you will DO
as quick as possible.
Will some good rice farmer please
give me, through The PRoeREss1sF
FARMER, some advice about rice cult
ure. 1 am a young farmer, and ]
want to try a few acres in rice, and ]
am not acquainted with the mode o.
planting and cultivating. Hoping yor

bill through life; then we intend to
elevate the mental, moral and spiritual
condition of mankind; we propose to
raise the poor farmer who has so long
been crushed to the earth by extor-
TONERS to that high position which he
should occupy. The grandest feature
Ito my mind) is we are not forgetful
of the poor widows and orphans of
our land; we look after them with fos-
tering care and protection. Then
comes u motto, which is not sur
passed by any profession, "Unity and
Chariny." 1 would like to dwell here,
but must not be tedious. Now a few
words about Bro. Pickett and I close.
According to appointment he met
us at Oxford last Monday and not
w~ithstanding the i%ncessant rain, quite
a number of farmers were present and
| listened to his address with marked
attention. He spoke about forty min
utes, and I am quite sure every farmer
felt sorry when he quit. His speech
was full of good sound logic and
no doubt found a lodging place in
every farmers heart. I hope he will
visit us again when we get better Oh
ganized, and we. will show him some
thing of the hospitality of which the
Granville people are full. The rain
and other things prevented our show
ing him that courtesy we otherwise
would have done. S. Ohio Wilson
was present and made a short, and
pointed talk, which was fully appreci
ated by the writer and others.
My piece is becoming too long, so
will close, wishing all the Alliances

one man on it. We are entitled to
all of the ticket. 1t rightfully belongs
to u.s., and we ought to have it. We
own the land; we do the work; we
pay the taxes; we have the strength
and we have had very little to say
in the Legislative or executive depart
ments. Now we have about come to
the end of the row. We must either
cross over or turn around and 60 over
the same ground again. I say let's
cross over. Step to the front, MI.
Farmer, Tenant and Laboring Man,
and with a good pull, a strong pull,
and a pull all together, we will put S.
B. Alexander & Go. through on the
next State ticket, and it will have as
much to do to bring contentment as
anything I know of.
The farmers are beginning to or
ganize into Alliances, but there is not
as many Alliances in this county as
ought to be. 1t has already done
much good, and9issip a fair way to do
much more, although it is said by some
to be sickly, and will soon die; still
I'VE think it healthy and bids fair to
live to a ,good old age.
/ The farmers are busy as a be.
getting ready to plant corn. The
acreage in cotton: I think, is larger
than last year. Much attention has
been paid to small grain. [ think
fewer leins and mortgages have beer
given than. usual, which is a gooo
sign. We hope to see you down IL
this section before long.
With best wishes to the farmers o
North Carolina, and S. B. Alexander
in particular, I'll step 'e' .~~

THE ALLIANCE IN GRANVILLE

March 30, 1888.
Mr., EDITOR In obedience to your
request our lodge, No. $40, selected
me to write short articles for your
paper. 1 will not promise to be short,
for it is said it requires a smart man
to write short, sensible articles on any
subject, and,I guess your readers will
soon see that I am not specially en-
dowed with brain power; still ! hope
to be able to write something of in
terest about the noble LUIS which we
represent. Our lodge was organized
about four weeks ago by Bro. Seawell,
of Moore county, under very unfavor-
able circumstances. No n knowing
of any such movement until only a
few hours beforehand, a farmer
brother having failed to get the letter
written him several days previous by
Bro. Sewell. However, we organized

who have ridden us until u backs

We have the brain, capital and vim
to succeed, and we are. determined to
know no such word as fail. Farmers

A VOICE FROM RICHMOND co.
RICHMOND Co., n. g.,
March %, '9S.

Coz. T.. I. PoLK.-Qear Sr:-With
your permission, /, as a farmer, would
like to say a word about the times. 1t
is a. well-inown fact all over the State
that there is an uneasy, restless, dis
satisfied spirit among the laborlng,
Woodworking class of white people. l
do not say that I know the cause OF
it, but l know it is there, all the same.
You can hear such expressions as
"class legislation" that the erich are
becoming richer and the poor poorer
every year; and I know that where we
have had none to starve to death, we
have had thousands to die for the
want of proper food and medical at
tention; nothing to eat, l may say, Tor
one-half the year but corn bread ana
Western meat; not able to live any
better, and not able to pay the doctor
his mileage and prescription fee. Tins
has been said by another, but it was
truly said; it fits in nearly every local
ity in the State. Say, for example,
a Door man lives ten miles from a phy-
sician: it costs him for one visit $5.OO
mileage and prescription $l.OO; medl,
cine fifty cents or n dollar. Total
for one visit, $3.50 or $500, to the
phvsician. Professional men seem to
have reached the conclusion that 1t all
belongs to them. The lawyer seems
to think that the offices were created
for his express benefit, and can hardly
wait till he has stood his examination
before he is ready waiting, and thinks
he is the only one fit to represent, nine
cases out of ten, has adopted county
in the next General Assembly.
Why did the physicians try te
get our last legislature to pass a law
giving them a lien on the poor, typhole
fever mans crop for his $500 fee
made in two and one-half hours an(
a few cents worth of quinine @
calomel?
And some of our farmers, poo
fellows. are so under the thumb o
their merchants that they pretend t
believe Just as the merchant an
lawyer dictates to them. God mel
them: they. need help. And all G
the above mentioned gentlemen wan
the bottom knocked out OF the hom'
stead, which I do hope will never {
