THE MURDER OF FRANKLIN
STACK.

SEPTEMBER 20, 1889,
Mr.. EDIToR:-I hand you here with
the resolutions adopted by the jenkins
Crossroads Alliance, of Union conn
ty, relative to the mobbing of one Of
its members, Bro. Franklin Stack.
Not by the dispensation of a Divine
Providence as we believe, but bv a
lawless mob of iendish men of Burko
county, N. c., instigated by the devil,
and ever willing to do his bidding
Franklin Stack, of Union county, 4
O., was taken from the jail at Nor,
canton on the night of the 10th of
September and hanged on a mere sus.
picion of having killed Robert
Parker.
All who knew Bro. Stack knew
him to be an honorable, heightened
gentleman, a quiet and peaceable citi.
zen, a man who strictly attended to
his W business, and a man in
whom we placed the utmost conf.
dence in every respect whatsoever.
We cannot recall the death of anv
that has caused more gloom and
heartfelt sorrow than that of Mr.,
Stack. He was a member of our Ali.
ance in good standing, and held the
responsible position of Trade Agent
and Treasurer. Be it therefore
Resolved, That in the death of Bro.
Stack the Alliance has lost one of it's
devoted members, the county one of
her best citizens and truest sons.
Resolved, That the mob Tor the in.
stigators thereof, if any let them
hold whatever high positions they
may socially, officially or ecclesiastical,
are guilty of a dastardly and coward.
ly crime unbecoming any set of men
who live in a civilized country, or
who make any pretentions to respecta.
bility whatsoever.
ResoIved, That we earnestly hope
and trust that the craven hearted
wretches who so brutally murdered
Stack without giving him a chance to
produce n particle of evidence may
soon be arrested and justice melted
out to them, not by a mob in retalia.
ton, but by a fair and impartial trial
by judge and jury.
RESOLVED, That the murder of Stack
by the Burke county mob is a crime
of the darkest hue and an insult to
the county at large, and n that
every true citizen should denouuce.
RESOLVED, That the Secretary of this
Alliance send a copy of these resolu.
tons to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
the Monroe Enquirer and Erpress,
and a copy to the bereaved mother of
the deceased, and that a request, &C.
companied by the cash, be sent to the
editor of the Morganton Star, a paper
published in the town of Morganton,
that he publish the same.

hope for it, at least. Let US not des-
pise the day of small things. What
would have become of our great
heroes, Napoleon Bonaparte, Christie
pher Columbus, Washington and
others, if the veil of despair and des-
'pondency had crept over them ? And
what will become of us if we despair
and withdraw from the Alliance be-
cause we cannot reap the whole world
in a day Most assuredly ours is as
great a contest al any hero has ever
met and without good faith we can
not succeed. We must buckle on the
whole armour; we must resist the
syren song of credit secured by mort
cages; we must aid the weak and
when at last God shall call US over
the River, we shall go like Paul, re-
joicing that we have fought a good
fght-we have finished our course.

AN UNEDUCKTED BROTHER
WRITES.


ALLIANCE No. LILO, Durant's Neck,
Perquimans Co., Sept. ID, '89.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Being' uneducated,
this is the first time I ever undertook
to write anything for publication. If
you find anything in it I will be glad
to have you publish it. If I do not
see it in print I will not be offended
or greatly disappointed. My excuse
for obtruding myself upon you is,
that [ have waited long and patiently
for some one to send you a few lines
from our Alliance, but have waited in
vain. We have a fine farming country:
Crops are about an average-corn,
cotton, potatoes, oats and grass. More
cane has been planted than heretofore.
Our Alliance was organized August
18th, by DR.. Seawell. At present it
numbers 1873, but sad to say only 68
are in good standing. While our
lodge is composed of some of the best
citizens of the community, we also
have some of the very sorriest that
are to be found anywhere. We are
not much in the "resolve business.
We endorsed the action of the Bir-
mingham Conference and will use
only Alliance sacking, and our cotton
will be ginned by Alliance men.
Frankly, our Alliance has not done
what it ought to have done for the
Business Agency Fund, nor for your
valuable paper, but we hope to do
more than ever before for both during
this fall. We would like to have the
Hon. Harry Tracy or some other good
speaker visit us, for we certainly need
him in his community.
Lung fever is prevailing in this
community, and also in other parts of
the county. Several horses have died
and a number are sick.
At our regular meeting for the
election of officers, Henry M. Spencer
was made President and VIM. F. B.
Sawyer, Secretary.
Yours fraternally,

our State Agency.
Resolved, That we request all gin
ners and purchasers of cotton within

ton out of this ingrained mental and
bodily restitution !? When we see the
tired, dependent, WORKOUT, over
worked look which marks a farmer In
a crowd of a thousand; when we be
hold the pinched features OF his little
children, into whose budding lives but
few joys come and they each burdened
with the phantom Of unfinished tasks;
above all. when We witness the care
laden brow of her who, in the bright
and happy time now so long gone as
to seem but a dream, plighted the
faith so Loyalty and lovingly kept;
when we contemplate all this, then, If
the wish that anathema maran atha
may not rest on the heads of the hu-
man devils who cast such a blighting
shadow over our lives does not rise in
the heart and gather on the lips, utter
~soulless must be the creature that
realizes not the emotion of righteous
wrath, and whose every fore does not
Jingle with revengeful Indignation.
When Charles l resorted to monopo-
lies to replenish his exchequers, the
exactions became so oppressive that
Colepepper said in the Long Parlia-
ment: "They sup in our cup, they
dip in our dish, they sit by our fire;
we find them in the dye-fat, the wash
bowls, the powdering tub, They
share with the cutter in his box.
They have marked and sealed us from
head to FOOT" And as it al in
Charles day, whose cupidlty cost
him his head, so it is now with these
monopoly combines who have even
formed a trust on collins, thus levying
a tax on our very dead, and pursuing
US to the very grave. They have in
deed marked and sealed us from head
to foot. Yes, fight these rapacious,
insatiate combines with a vindictive
hatred, for, say what you will, it is
the basest hypocrisy to pretend that
we entertain any other sentiment to-
wards them, and he who would tenn.
porize in speech or thought with re-
gard to them would fatter, praise and
frown upon with a cat-like purr and
blarny the devil himself. We will
prove apostates to ourselves, traitors
to our families, renegades to nature,
~recreants to everything we should
cherish and hold sacred on earth, if
we fail to strain every nerve and
energy of mind and body, to circum-
vent the most devilish outlaws in the
shape of an enemy that ever leveled
pistol at mortal breast demanding
your money or your life. In such a
cause, against such an enemy, it is
suicidal to think of rose-water, kid
gloved or boiled shirt tactics in our
strategy to strike them in flank and
rear The God of love will surely
bless and further such a righteous
warfare, and "thrice is he armed who
has his quarrel just" Unless we
prosecute this holy warfare with
Spartan determination, ours will be
the lot of the moral drawn by the
poet after depicting in the most pa
thetic strain, a deserted Irish village,
shrinking from the spoilers hand,
far, far away, thy children leave the
land"
"In fares the land. to Fastening ills a prey,
When veal h accumulates, and men decay;
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade,
A breath can make them, as q breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country g pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied"

CONFIDENCE IN LEADERSHIP.

CEDAR Rock, Franklin Co., NC,
Sept. 16, '89.
Nh. EDIToR:-Having been a con
slant reader of your valuable paper
for a long time, l have been more
than grati6ed to witness the remark
able unaminity of sentiment in regard
to its sterling worth.
This feeling arises from a two
fold consideration. First, because in
it we have a counsellor eminently
worthy of our confidence; and second
ly, because it inculcates such perfect
harmony of sentiment among true
Alliance men as to its just and truth
full teachings.
Now, my brethren, l feel that we
are approaching a crisis in our cause
which will put every true Alliance
man upon his metal. l believe that
the time is near at hand when every
true heart will be strained to the ut.
most tension of anxiety by reason of
the conflict that is about to be waged
in dire earnest. | believe if we are
true to the I'LL we have espoused,
we will not wait long before we have
the proud satisfaction of Witnessing
the overthrow of the proud bulwarks
of oppression and injustice. While
on the other hand, if we abate our
vigilance we may soon witness the
complete discontinue of our cause,
while the manacles of perpetual
slavery are securely fastened upon
us. Now, sir, if the cause is at all
worth our effort it is worthy of our
best effort, and to this end I wish to
admonish the brethren at large that
our greatest efficiency of effort de-
ponds very largely upon implicit con-
fdence in our leaders. But, sir,
shall we blindly follow a leadership
which in the end may shamelessly be-
tray u confidence ? I have refrained
from speaking until now, because 1
wished to assure myself on this head,
and after careful observation for
more than two years, (being all along
improved with the counsel of good
leaders) L am now fully persuaded
that such men as Macune, NcCracken,
Northern, of Georgia, Tracy, of
Texas, and others, of like prominence
have not been adjusted to the posi-.
ton they occupy by continuance of
their own, but have been called by a

give you a few dots from Pea Ridge.
We have about Is members; some of
them are true blue. We have dimited
Is, and some of them were good mem
bers. We have not done a great deal
for the State Agents Fund yet, but I
think we will do something this fall.
The Alliance has done some good
here. We have saved in guano and
in other goods also. l think we will
do better another year. l joined the
Alliance over a year ago, in good faith,
and my faith is still growing. I will
say just here that [ have had a great
calamity on me; l had a very painful
rising on my hand that stopped me
from work six weeks, and just when
I got able to work [ lost my black
smith shop by fire; it was burned on
the night of August 18th. I did not
save anything, and my loss is some.
thing over $500, and is surely a heavy
loss on a poor man. I would be glad
if any Alliance man, or any one who
reads The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, would
help me in rebuilding and getting my
tools back. If you cannot help me in
rebuilding, could you not give me
