Bro. Wood Privott, Secretary of
Chowan County Alliance, sends a
large large list of renewals and says:
awe are solid on Alliance principles
as we understand them, but we can't
get the wrapping for our cotton as
500 as we want it. Some of the
farmers are using jute because they
can't get cotton. We are increasing
IN knowledge and numerical strength.
We will uphold the principles of the
Alliance to the best of our ability"
Bro. A. M. Parker, Secretary of
the Jackson County Farmers Alliance,
writes: "In obedience to the call of
the Farmers Cotton Committee, the
Jackson County Farmers Alliance
met IN Webster, Sept smber 18th, and
had the following proceedings: On
motion it wa RESOLVED, That we, the
Jackson County Farmers Alliance,
cooperate with the Cotton Commit
tee, and that we will lend them our
hearty support, as far az practicable,
In carrying out their plans, and we
heartily endorse their action"
Secretary J. w. Collins, of Le-
bannon Alliance, No. 81, Brunswick
county, regrets to say that they have
some weakened members in their
lodge, it having been necessary re-
Gently to suspend no less than eight.
While the Secretary regrets the ne.
cessity for their suspension, he wisely
remarks that the order is better off
without them than with them. 1t is
q fact that men who are devoid of
Alliance principles have no business
inside an Alliance hall. If n is not
heartily with the Alliance he is against
it, and should be allowed to 90 his
way quickly. You can't afford to
have traitors in the camp.
"A brother of Juvenile Alliance
No. 1880, sending a list of subscrib,
ers, says his Alliance met on October
18th in regular session. The meeting
was largely attended and perfect
