says: ",The. Granville. N. c., Alliance
means business, and a good deal of it.
After having established their warehouse
upon a paying basis, under the manage
1nent of competent, active, prudent men,
1t has started a tobacco, factory, for both
smoking and plug tobacco, and soon the
Alliance tobacco growers will have a fac
tory of their own at which to have their
products manufactured and sold to the
best possible advantage. The Alliance in
the Old North State is full of life and ae-
tvlty, and proposes to make the most Of
ITS opportunities for goed."
a dispatch dated Birmingham, Ala,
March 9Th, says: Near Gate City june
ton, a few miles from Birmingham at Z
o'clock last night, A. W. Busby was sit
ting by his Preside and his wife and chill
dren were in bed. Without a note of
warning a bullet from Winchester rife
passed through a window and struck him
just under the left ear, causing. instant
death. He had a quarrel yesterday with
a saw-mill man from Pelham named
Grant, over some lumber and a debt.
Grant subsequently braced up with whis-
key and made threats to ONE companions
that he would settle with Busby before
8 o'clock. He is supposed to have been
,YBusby's assassin.
A friend writing to the editor from
Caldwell, Texas, says: II write to con-
graduate you on the two last issues Of
your splendid paper. A few copies were
sent me by Organizer See1y just two years
ago, before you moved to Raleigh, when
you were struggling for recognition which
you have so well deserved and received.
The brethren of the grand Old North
State annot say at the next election that
they are in the dark as to the acts of their
General Assembly. 1 certainly agree with
you on the NEGRO Problem" We are
not dependent upon them, and like you, I
say, for Gods sake "let them 60" A % n
cession can be obtained from Mexico and
gradual colonization accomplished to the
advantage of the negro and the eternal
relief of the Anglo Saxons of America.
A few years ago there was an attempted
exodus of negroes from Texas to Kansas,
and if a cyclone of misfortune had struck
the State in the shape of cholera, yellow
jack and drouth there would not have
been greater CONSERVATION"
