THE CONFEDERATE HOME.

FAYETTEVILLE, n. c., May 3, '99.
Mr.. EDIToR:-There should be a
home for disabled Confederate soldiers
in North Carolina. Now that the
movement has been set on foot, let it
be pressed to speedy and successful
termination.
Other Southern States have made
provision for their disabled Confed
crate soldiers, and still others are
moving in that direction. Allow me
to suggest plan which may or may
not accomplish the desired end, but
is worth the trial. Let the public
spirited ex-Confederates in everv
county in the State organize Confed-
crate veteran associations with as
many members as may be possible to
obtain, with membership fee of fifty
cents or dollar, and monthly or
quarterly dues of such amounts as may
be most available according to the
circumstances and surroundings of
each association. Let the member
ship fees, as well as the dues, be set
apart as "Fund for the Confederate
Home " and to these amounts may be
added such contributions and volun-
tary donations as may be made by the
generous minded public, who may be
disposed to aid SO worthy a cause. The
ladies of North Carolina may also, and
doubtless will, if appealed to, in the
various counties, aid the associations
by giving entertainments for the stated
purpose of raising money for the
Confederate Soldiers Home.
This ever has met, and always ought
to, as [ believe it will, meet with a
generous response from the people Of
our Southern land.
Lastly, let the Home be located in
the town of Fayetteville, where we
nave health, pure water, as fine
climate and as much natural beauty
as can be found anywhere in the South.
Io which may be added this town
contains people whose every heart
throb beats in sympathy with the in.
dlgent and disabled ex.Confederate
soldier. Rrespectfully,
THOMAS H. SUTTON.

RANDOLPH COUNTY ALLIANCE.
AsHEBoRo, N. c., April 5, '89.

AsHEBoRo, N. c., April 5, 49,
President E. B. Kearns in the chair.
Prayer by Rev. z. Rush.
The Secretary being absent, n. c..
English was appointed pro tenn.
On account of the absence of some
of the officials, the regular order of
business was temporarily postponed
and the President proceeded to ad-
dress the Alliance in very practical
manner, in which he suggested some
methods by which the Alliance might
improve on some of it's former schemes
and methods. He regards the out
look encouraging, and believes that
fidelity to our cause will result in still
greater benefit to the order.
The following constituted the Execu-
tive Committee: J. 7. Redding, J. T.
Lowe and F. G. Frazier. Joseph
Redding, z. A Lewallen and H. L.
Kearns appointed as Committee on
Credentials.
Ninety-fve delegates reported pres
ent and twenty nine Alliances repre-
sented.
The Secretary then presented him
self and read the minutes, which were
adopted.
The Executive Committee reported
through F, G. Frazier that business
was bright and moving on smoothly.
The Committee on the Good of the
Order, reported through ]. G. Fuller
that they were conscious Of good and
important duties, yet by virtue of the
magnitude of these obligations, per-
haps they had not done their whole
duty. The motto of the Alliance
should be quality and not quantity
lack of interest sometimes because
men in the order without knowledge
and an intelligence of the great truths
and principles of the organization.
We must guard we'll these relations if
we expect to keep in tact the order.
Members are indiscreet and imprudent
in talking too much. More precaution
must be exercised if the spirit and
purposes of the Alliance be preserved.
The County Business Agent, D. R.
Parker, made his report; said that
matters of business were progressing
tolerably well; that satisfactory ar
rangements had been made with deal
ers in agricultural implements, and
with proper care still better terms
may be gotten through concert action
OF State, County and Sub-Agents.
Cheap rates have been obtained for
books and periodicals; No excuse now
for the farmer and his family to do
without good reading matter. We
must improve Intellectually or our
condition will always be that of under.

The State Agency was ventilated
and discussed with lively interest
and there was manifested determine.

ESTABLISH THE BUSINESS
AGENCY.
Fremont ALLIANCE, No. 7l4,


April 25, 1889.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Please allow space for
few dots from this Alliance. We do
not intend to make war on any man Or
set of men, but it seems that the whole,
MERCANTILE world is terribly upset
about few movements the Alliance
has been making of late 1t is evident
that they intend to make open war
upon our order, which they term chat.
thing" No doubt there are many
firms not many miles distant from
here who would give many thousand
dollars "to burst the thing" as they
say. But we must expect this. The
farmers have SO long been slaves to
the merchants that it greatly exas-
perates them for the farmers to have
a voice in their business affairs, or the
laws which so much affect the agricul-> ;
tural interests Of this country. But
let US stand firm to our colors; let us
never falter nor look back; let every
man stick together to the principles of r
the Alliance and work together as a.
solid unit and we will be sure to come
out triumphant. We need not expect
to gain the shining laurels of success
and victory without much opposition.
The merchants of this section are very
restless now thaSi is plain to them
that the Alliance is determined to de-.
something. They are cutting under
prices and doing everything in their
power to break down the good move
ments of the Alliance. And right.
here we see the great necessity of the
Agency Fund being established, This
every Alliance man should consider as
the very backbone of our work. We
have good and competent agent en-
ployed to conduct our business, and it
is our duty to back him up at once
and not pay him to do nothing, as is
the case at present.
We are afraid Alliance CO operative
stores will not stand There are many
Alliance men who are not satisfied
about the arrangements that have
been made for the purchasing of
guano on account of the fund not be-
ing established Let US establish it,
and quit being laughed at by our ad
versaries for our great weakness.
This Alliance has shown to the
merchants of this place that they have
little grit left in their craws We
are proud that we purchased our
guano direct from the factory. and
proud that there is little business
capacity in the ranks of the Alliance,
as well as elsewhere.
I will close by wishing The FARMER
great success and long life to its
noble editor T. F. SMITH, Sec'y.

To My Friends and Patrons:

I wish to notify my customers and
friends in general, that have adopt
ed the "Allison Coupon Check Sys-
tenn" in my retail department.. 1t is
a great improvement on the old pass
book or credit system, possessing the
following advantages to customers,
wilt gives the merchant no chance
to commit errors in the hurry and eX-
element of business; it prevents that
oft occurring error of having the bills
of one party charged to the account of
another, and gives general feeling
of confidence between the merchant
and his customers. The books in
question contain coupons to the
amount of g, S., SO, and $40 respec-
lively. They are comprised of a series
of perforated checks ranging from
cents to 81 in value. When the GUS
toner makes a purchase, the hook is
handed to the clerk who takes Srom
the book, checks to the amount of the
purchase, and no charge is booked for
the goods. When the book is issued,
the name of the customer is inscribed
on its face; the customer in turn signs
a note for the value of the book. Inc
note is kept as a record, and this is
all the bookkeeping that is done. A
discount of per cent. is allowed if the
book is paid for when issued, besides
allowing purchaser the benefit of net
cash prices on goods. A more thorough
explanation will be given upon in
ouiry at my office, retail department..
