why is the fund not raised, who is it
that belongs to this great order who
corl1 not spa Q che dollar to this
grand and noble purpose? And with
one dollar from each male member
the agency would be placed on a solid
basis. Brethren, O brethren, let US
make up and if you have not already
done so, cast in your mite at once
that the agents hands may be loosed,
that the great work may move on and
not be hindered and hampered for
want of funds.
Several of u members take and.
read The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and
they are becoming educated in the
principles of our noble order, and
there are no weak kneed members
among those who read the State and
National organs, but they are to be
found among the ignorant and unin-
formed; and now, in conclusion, [
would say to the brethren be not too
hasty in looking for results, but let us
be true to our principles, ever con-
tending for the right and we may yet
hope to see the time when bribery,
fraud and corruption shall cease in
the land, and when the honest senti-
ment of the people dictated by the
Holy Spirit of God shall be the ruling
power in this beloved land. Then and
not till then may We expect to see
men sent to our legislative halls who
will do all in their power to make just
and wholesome laws to. govern u
people. Then may we hope to see
trusts and combines cease and honesty
and good government prevail through
out the land. l close by saying
hurrah for The Progressive FARMER

this Alliance violate this pledge he
shall be subject to any penalty that
the Alliance deems necessary.
Resotved, That we request all Sub
Alliances of the county TO ADOPT this
or similar resolutions.
RESOLVED, That a copy of this be
forwarded to The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER.
We also appeal to the farmers who
are not members of the Farmers Ali
ance to uphold these resolutions.
At a meeting of the representatives
of the twelve Southern States at Bir-
mingham, Ala, it was unanimously
resolved to use bagging made of cot
ton. The object of this meeting was
to cross the unjust movements of the
jute bagging trust, who have set their
means, skill and ability to take away
from the poor farmer millions of dol
lars.
The New Orleans, New York and
Liverpool cotton exchanges have
agreed to deduct tare so as to make
cotton equal to jute. This enables
the farmer to compete with the trust
companies in every respect, and with
little more vigor and push the jute
bagging trust will droop their heads
and ask to be .pardoned for bringing
such reproach upon u American
citizens.
We the members Of the Farmers
Alliance, uphold the Birmingham
resolution, and the trust has found
it out.
Now, in order to break us down,
the trust proposes to sell its bagging
cheaper than ever, hoping that we are
under no obligation to Use cotton
covering. Brother farmers, use the
cotton bagging and let the ~exorbitant
high-price jute trust go.
Now a word to the merchant: If
you wish to sell your goods at living
per cent, you had better let the trust
companies alone, for we are determ-
ined to purchase goods only from
those who will stand by and work in
behalf of the farmer.
Ny brethren, let us be up and do
ing, for if we fail now, the future
outlook will be more rigid than ever
before. J.. G. w, SEc'Y.

LETTER FROM
COUNTY.
ALLIANCE Nc. 1928,
Brummett's Greek, N. c.,

Aug. l9, t89.
Mr.. EDIToR:-As a co-worker in
the Alliance cause, | write to say
that it has done and is doing a vast
amount of good in this county. It
has brought goods lower than was
ever known before. The Sub-Alli-
ances have united and are buying
their goods from two merchants in
this county. When we made the
trade arrangement with the merchants
referred to there was a man who
affirmed that he would burst the ALI
ance or himself, and he tried it, but
he couldn't get there Eli. He is
keeping store in his shirt sleeves now
to keep cool. Some Of them have
been standing on their heels about the
Alliance but they have got so now that
they can stand fat-footed. The Alliance
is the best organization that was ever
gotten up and our fellow farmers who
still stand aloof admit the fact that
we have accomplished some good,
and that if we continue in the future
as in the past, a great change will be
effected. Now, brethren, let us see
that we are not disappointed in our
expectations. Let us press on with
vigor and a determination to effect
the noble purpose of our order, at
the same time being guarded and cir
cumspect. 1t is better to dolittle and
be certain we are right than to do
much and have it to change. Mind,
it has been predicted by many that
our organization will be a failure; that
it will be an impossibility for the
farmers to agree and have concert of
action. Many of our merchants feel
and believe that the reduction in
prices of supplies is only temporary,
that it is only a panic and will be of
short duration. Some have gone SO
far as to say that they will either
break or burst the Alliance. Breth-
rem, let us show the public that we
have not grown so selfish and dis
trustful of our fellow men that we
fail to agree and cooperate for our
mutual benefit and for the general
good of our common country; ven if
we had lost all fellowfeeling for each
other, the times and existing circum-
stances would force us to cultivate
brotherly love and to act for mutual
protection. Let us show these mer-
chants, who r so outspoken and aro-
CANT in their expressions, that they
are kicking before they r spurred;
that we wish them and all our fellow
men well; that we are not arrayed
against any class or profession, but that
we are organized for the protection of
ourselves as a class. Our aim is, and
ever will be, to raise and elevate the
farmer from the slough of despond
into which he has fallen by reason of
the oppression to which he has SO
long been subjected. ;
Fraternally yours,
CASTOR HUGHES.

Nh. EDIToR:-H has been some time
since I attempted to write a word for
publication in your valuable and much
esteemed paper. | have been content
to read the communications of wiser
heads and ADLER pens, but as some of
the brethren are grumbling, if you
will be so kind as to give space, Twill
attempt to give you a few dots that
the brethren may know that South
River Alliance still lives. We do
not pass many resolutions, but we are
q unit with the Alliance brotherhood
on all the great questions that are
now agitating and claiming the united
action of the agricultural classes of
our people. We have contributed
$55 to the State agency fund. We
number 81 male members, and / am
sure that according to our ability we
have done as much as any Alliance in
my knowledge. But the question is,

all approve, was very impressive. He
showed the Importance of farmers
trading on the cash system, and the
disadvantage in trading on time, pay
ing from 40 per cent. to leo per cent.
on the produce bought.
Next speaker, Rev. P. 81. Massey,
whose eloquence held the audience
spell, bound for about fifteen or twenty
minutes. His leading thought was
the education of the farmer, physically,
mentally and morally, in a sense to
know his duty, and knowing do it.
We are living in q fast age, and our
success as farmers depends, toa great
extent, upon our Alliances. We are
the leading elements of the world.
When we look at the growing city,
the aspiring halls, the @therial- piercing
steeples, and view the Workmanship
which ploughs the oceans and seas of
the world, we can exclaim with one
and united voice, "Well done, good
and faithful farmer !"
Let us take hope; without it man
is without energy. IL we would knoW
all about the Farmers Alliance, let
us sink our shafts deep and strike
the very cornerstone. Many will not
join our order, knowing not its pur
pose. If they examine themselves,
they are, in their hearts, thorough
Alliancemen. Now let US unite; Gin
union there Is strength" Some few
JOIN our order and betray us, and yet
we do not despair, knowing that when
Christ himself was in the world, one
out of twelve betrayed Him.
L tell your reders we are
advancing, cutting a little here
and there. Many of us are not
afraid to venture in anything except
in wrong acts. May God show us the
right and help us do it:
Fraternally,
A. j. WEATHERsPooN, Sec'y.

THE VIRGINIA FREE pRrss--rHr OLD FAMILY joueNa1.

A Baltimore lady, who has spent some
time in Vienna, writes in regard to Princess
Stephanie, widow of the late Crown Prince
of Austria, that she has been greatly mis-
represented by the printed accounts. The
lady says, whether in the full spIenlor OF
court dress, or in the simple costumes which
she wore at the castle Of Luxembourg, she
was always the incarnation of youth and
beauty. At the time of her marriage, the
Princess Stephanie was small and slight.
and gave but little promise of the beauty
which to day makes her one of the hand
soonest women in the Austrian Empire.
Since then she has grown several inches
and developed superb figure and wealth
of golden hair, which is quite dazzling in
such land of brunettes. The Princess
Stephanie is a blond of the purest type.
Her complexion is like milk and roses, and
her features ike those of Greek statue.
Her eyes are small and almond-shaped, but
soft and bright, and her whole face express
es that sweetness and amiability for which
she is so universally beloved.
