SALISBURY, Rowan Co., N. c.,
Grants Creek Alliance, No. 702,
June 9th, 1889.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Not having seen any
thing in your valuable paper from our
Alliance, with your permission L
would like to occupy a small space,
informing the brethren that we are
not dead, although we have been
silent, but are wide-awake and are
taking hold of our noble cause in
good earnest, feeling that it is our
only salvation.
Bro. Harry Tracy delivered al adj
dress at Salisbury, and I have no
doubt did much good. "He is the
right man in the right place." we
were delighted with him. Send him
back again to us.
We fully endorse the action of the
Birmingham Conference as to cotton
bagging. We are unanimously in
favor of the consolidation of the ALI
ance, Union and Wheel. Let us pre-
sent a solid front; there is enough for
us to do.
At our last meeting we adopted the
following resolution unanimously:
ResoEved, That Grants Greek ALI
ance, No. 7O2, of Rowan county, N. c.,
hereby accepts and adopts the act of
Assembly entitled can act to incor-
porate the Farmers State Alliance Of
North Carolina and Sub-Alliances,'
as its charter of incorporation and the
constitution, bylaws, rules and regu-
lations which may be prescribed by
the properly constituted authorities
Hereunder.
Our Alliance have completed their
hall and have it paid for.
At our last meeting we contributed
what remained in our treasury to the
Business Agency Fund and Intend to
do more as soon as we are able. With
out the fund we cannot expect to &C
complish much. Why should we
delay 2 Other States have raised
theirs and are now reaping the
benefit.
For fear that I may be tedious, I
will not intrude upon your valuable
space any further. Success to you
and The PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
Yours f~raternally

do this will be quite an outlay to the
| editor but not as much as getting out
a pamphlet, and it will certainly be OF
much more benefit; for besides the
distribution of the ten thousand extra
copies, the write up will go IN the
numbers of the regular edition. !
urge upon every business, mar and
| subscriber to lend their financial AID
when the editor shall ask assistance IN
getting out. the special edition. Do
not be contented with helping only
one paper if there is more than one IN
your place. A special edition OF every
paper printed in your county should
be issued. They can be distributed
to great advantage. ,
Although have no personal interest
in but one or two towns in the South,
yet I am willing to show my interest
in the material welfare of the two
States by pledging to make a contri-
button of one hundred dollars to be
equally divided between the news
papers that issue special editions for
this occasion. Certainly each business
man in the several towns and all those
who are directly interested in their
respective sections will aid to the best
of their ability. I call upon all news
paper men to make the canvass at
once and I bespeak for them the full
cooperation and assistance of their
patrons and the people they will SO
greatly benefit.

BACKING HIS JUDGMENT WITH
HIS MONEY.

GIBSON STATION, N. c., June 26, 'S9.
MR. ED1ToR:-Wil you please give
the following a place in your excel
lent journal:
l hereby challenge the brethren OF
the North Carolina Farmers Alliance
throughout the State to lend to our
Business Agent the amount of money
requisite to make the fund up to
500, 900. Let us take it for granted
that the sum now on hand is $25, 900.
Therefore, to make it $780, 600, it
viii require 5000 members to lend
$25 each. To make the 500, 900, 1
will deposit with our Agent $25,
taking his receipt for the same; no
interest to be charged on this loan,
and the money thus loaned to be re-
turned to the lender as it comes into
the Agents hands from the funds
raised by the present method of rails
ing the permanent Business Fund, or
any other method that may be adopted
at the State meeting.
Now, brethren, let us hear from
1899 members with their $25.
Here is an opportunity for some of
you to show your love for and conf
dence in the cause
Much has been said and written
concerning the Alliance-of the good
20 be accomplished by the exchange
when established. Show to the world
that you believe in the order, that
you have confidence in its honor and
integrity. =,
Numbers of US have boasted that
the Alliance is "here to stay" Will
you help to ~perpetuate it I? know
that $50, 600 was the sum fixed to
begin business with, but let US make
it 500, 900. By raising it up to that
we a then expect a donation of
some sort from the city where our
Exchange is established.
Remember, the city of Birmingham,
Alabama, donated 500, 900 to the
Alabama Exchange.
Brothers, let me urge this matter
upon you. The Exchange should be
established and at work. The breth-
rem r becoming impatient. If we
establish our Exchange we will infuse
new life into the order.
So l call for 1899 brothers to come
forward with $25 each, to not plead
poverty. There are thousands of
members in the State who are worth
ten, twenty and fifty dollars to my
one, and if they have the same love
for and confidence in the cause that l
have the fund will soon be raised to
800, 600. Then, three cheers for the
Alliance and $25 each for the Bust
ness Fund. I have only spoken to
one brother to lend $25. He prom
ised to do so. Who will answer for
the other 2,998? L will look for an
swers through THE PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER. w. W. MCELwEE.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FEC.
PIE OF NORTH AND
SOUTH CAROLINA,

OFFICE SOUTHERN INTERSTATE IMMI-
GRAFTON BUREAU, RALEIGH, n. @.
l wish to call your attention to the
fact that the Southern States are put
ting forth a greater effort than at any
time heretofore to induce into her
borders desirable men with means,
who will buy part of u idle lands
and aid in establishing factories, open
up mines and develop resources.
In bringing in capital and people we
lessen our burden of taxation, and in
crease the comforts of life.
l have been appointed to a position
In the Southern Interstate Immigra-
ton Bureau, and it will be not only
my duty but a pleasure to aid in the
work of developing and upbuilding in
every Southern State. Therefore 1
am lending my aid in the move to
have in the City of Raleigh in North
Carolina a great Industrial Display,
where will be invited the people of
the North to come and see what the
various sections of North and South
Carolina have to offer to those seeking
investments.
This is going to be of the best
opportunities for your people to ad-
vertise your county to the home seek
ing people who have means to invest;
and l advise you to make no delay in
collecting grain in the sheaf, and every
variety of grass, and send to the Sec
rotary at Raleigh. There will be no
cost on the shipment. Send one-half
dozen of each variety of wheat, oats,
rye, barley and other grain in the
sheaf; n gallon of threshed grain;
and one bundle of each variety of
clover and cultivated grass, and also a
bundle about the size of wheat bundle
OF all kinds of native or wild grass.
People from the North are more at
tracted by the grain and grass produc-
tons than by any other one thing;
therefore / urge upon the people of
North and South Carolina to take this
matter in hand while the grain and
grass crop is so fine, and get up the
collections at once and forward with
OUT delay SO as to be sure your county
Will be represented.
~ Is necessary to have for general
distribution printed information con-
corning your section. Such informa-
non should embrace in brief the ad.

The Farmers Alliance Warehouse at Dur
ham, N. G.,
Under the management Of Jno. w, Pope
has been on a regular boom
since it's opening.

This house was opened for the sale of
tobacco, on the 5th day Of February, 1889,
and from that date till the first day of
May saved to the farmers $1,4l1.6l by
reduced charges, and at the anne time
sold every pound of tobacco for full mar
ket value. This warehouse has no special
pets who are paid fictitious prices for
their tobacco in order to get them to
drum for it in their neighborhood, but all
tobacco sells strictly upon its merits the
rich and poor, high and low, black and
white all get the top of the market. Then
why not sell your tobacco where you get
full prices, and save yourselves thousands
of dollars annually? Stand by the Dur
ham market and the Farmers Alliance
Warehouse, and the Durham buyers will
stand by you. ml42t
