Nelson, Durham County.
Nh. EDrroR:-You will please al
low me space in your valuable paper
for a few lines concerning our organl'
zation at Cedar Fork. We are now
increasing rapidly in number. We
ore determinen to do our utmost for
the and good of the order.
Our body, believing in soclality
and the example we might set Tor
other Alliances of the State and the
GOOD that might result therefrom,
9ave q nicnic at Cedar Fork, Aug.
r. 1889. which resulted in a grand
io1i6cation. Fhe spresdewas Gopions'
several hundred ate and were filled.
The ladies who were interested IN
their husbands and sweethearts tastes,
certainly accomplished their purpose.
Notwithstanding crops being very
gloomy in this section.of the State, we
enioyed the present. and trusted to
Providence for the future.
After. which we listened to thersex'
cellent speakers who were invited Tor
the occasion. The first, Hon. JohnI,
Nichols, who. forcibly spoke of the
Importance of organization OF the
AGRICULTURAL world, that all 7;sother
classes of people were organizes that
Reorganization tended to ignorance
and slavery. It's intentions were to
teach truth, manliness and fidelity:
Andhow to meet the combinations and
trust companies Of our country. The
portion of his speech upon the cash
system" which tn Observation-Disclosures
all approve; was verp impressive. He
showed the Importance OF farmers
trading on the cash system, and the
disadvantage in trading or time, pay
ing from 40 per cent. to l6O per cent,
on the produce bought.
Next speaker, Rev. P 81. Massey,
whose eloquence held the audience
spell bound for about fifteen ortwenty
minutes. His leading thought was
the education of the farmer, physically,
mentally. and morally, in a sense to
knowahis duty, and knowing do it.
We are living in a 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 gtherial-piercing
steeples, and view the merchandising
which ploughs the ean and seas of
the world, we can exclaim with one
and united voice, We'll done, good
and faithful farmer !"
Let US take hope; without it man
is without energy. If we would know
all about the Farmers Alliance, let
US sink u 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; in
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.
I 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.
F~raternally,
A. ]. WEATHERsPooN, Sec'y.

The Tariff on Pharaoh.

M. Maspero, the eminent Egyptol-
ogist, told an amusing story of an
early experience with custom-house
officials in the course of a lecture which
he delivered recently at Brussels. He
had landed a case containing a superb
mummy, an authentic Pharaoh of the
sixteenth century B. c., at some
European port-which, he did not say
and, having declared the nature of
its contents, he counted on seeing it
passed without further trouble. But
the officer insisted on opening the
case; and after a minute inspection of
the article inside it, of which he could
make nothing, though he concluded
that it must be valuable from the care
with which it was packed, he told the
archaologist that he would have to
levy duty on it. What! duty on an
Egyptian Pharaoh" asked NJ. Mas
pero, laughing heartily at the notion.
The official searched the tariff-table
carefully, but of course it threw no
light on the matter. 1T is true" he
said, that Pharaohs are not men
toned in the tariff; but they are duti-
able all the same, for they come under
the head of unbiased articles and
are subject to the maximum rate as
such" And great Pharaoh dead, if
not exactly turned to clay, was passed
through the custom-nouse as "dried
fish, a." the most highly taxed of imports.

was in Memphis with 1,500 men on
their way to Athens, in Clarke County,

returned to their pandemonium in the
dark recesses of the woods. l
was taken to the second floor and placed
upon a bed in a rebels hotel. One OF
the officers said to me: There is
one of two things which must be done
and that without delay, for we have no
time to tarry here. You must either
take the oath to support the Southern
Confederacy and give no aid or comfort
to Federal soldiers, or you must die
here and now" Draw up the instru-
ment and let me see what it Is" l
looked at it for moment and remem-
bering that my eldest son and neigh
bors were in the Federal army, l said,
Gentlemen, you have me in your
power, you may take this head from
this body if it is your pleasure to do so,
but you can not get my name to that
instrument OF writing" This caused
much agitation and confusion among
them. Some were in favor of shooting
me dead, others for hanging, but after
much disputing and consultation, they
took vote, the majority were in favor
of releasing me, which they did--ReV.

CHINESE IMPLEMENTS.
They Are Exceedingly Crude and Should

They Are Exceedingly Crude and Should
Be Superseded By American Tools.
al have just got back from a trip to
China" said an American the other
day, land the one thing that struck
me most forcibly of all the queer
things to be seen there was the
wretched agricultural implements the
people use. l am in that line of busi-
ness myself, you know, and that is the
reason, / suppose, why the want OF
good tools impressed me so much. If
the Chinese are as shrewd and invent
i've as they claim to be, why have they
used for thousands of years a pillow
that is simply broad blade fastened to
one rough handle and never cuts the
ground deeper than six inches, gener-
ally two or three? They thresh yet
with a stone roller and winnow by
tossing the grain into the air. For
a harrow they use hoe, and every
thing else about the farm is on SINH
lar scale. The nation is largely COM
posed of farmers, and there ought to
be a splendid market there for Ameri
can implements. One great obstacle
in the way, of course, is the conserva-
tive spirit of the people and another
their extreme poverty; but if they
could once be walked up to the posi-
bilities that lie in the use of decent
farming tools the magnitude of the
demand that would ensue would well
repay the pioneer manufacturer who
risked some money in the endeavor.
If 1 could only pick up some cute
washee-washee man in this city, who
could speak enough of English for me
to understand him, and who had bust
ness acpacity enough to go among his
countrymen and show them how to use
and sell the machines, think could
make my fortune and his in a short
time. IN. Y. Tribune.

Manufacture of Celluloid.

The French manufacturers of cellu-
loid now claim to produce the finest
possible description of that article
now made. and by the simplest process
yet attained. By this improved
method a roll of paper is slowly I'M
wound, being at the same time satu-
rated with mixture of five parts of
sulphuric and two parts of nitric acid,
which falls upon the paper in fine
spray. This changes the cellulose of
the paper into pyroxyline or gun
cotton, and, the excess of the acid hav-
ing been expelled by pressure, the
paper is plentifuily washed with water
until all traces of acid have been re-
moved, when it is reduced to pulp,
and passes to the bleaching trough.
1t is this gun cotton which gives it its
explosive character. Most Of the
water having been got rid of by means
OF strainer, the pulp is mixed with
from twenty to forty per cent of its
weight of camphor, and the mixture
thoroughly triturated under mill
stones. The necessary coloring hav-
ing been added in the form of powder,
second mixture and grinding follows;
and. this pulp is spread out in thin
slabs, which are squeezed in hydrau-
lie press until they are dry as chips.
They are at this stage rolled in heated
rollers, coming out in elastic sheets,
and from this point they are worked
up into every conceivable form.

Honesty and intelligence.
It pays to be honest, you say.

It pays to be honest, you say.
Granted
Yet how many are dishonest through
ignorance, expediency, or Intentionally.
One can be dishonest and yet say nothing.
A clerk who lets customer buy dam
aged piece of goods, a witness who holds
back the truth which would clear prison.
er, medical practitioner who takes his
patients money when he knows he is doing
hun no good,-all are culpably dishonest
Speaking CT the dishonesty of medical
men reminds US that only the past week
there has come under our personal obser-
walton form of dishonesty which is almost
too mean for narration.
1t is generally known that doctors bind
themselves by codes, resolutions and oaths
not to use any advertised medicines. Now,
there is medicine on the market which,
for the past ten years. has accomplished a
marvellous amount of good in the cure of
Kidney and Liver diseases, and diseases
arising from the arrangement of these great
organs,-we refer to Warmers Safe Cure
So widespread are the merits of this med
icine that the majority Of the doctors of
this country know from actual evidence
that it will cure Advanced Kidney Disease,
which is but another name for Bright's Dis
ease.
The medical profession have put them
selves on record as admitting that there is
no cure for this terrible malady, yet there
are physicians base enough and dishonest
enough to procure Warmers Safe Cure in a
surreptitious manner, put the same into
plain, four-ounce walls, and charge their pa
tients 800 per vial, when sixteen-ounce
bottle Of the remedy, in its original pack
age, can be bought at any drug store in the
world for s1.25.
Perhaps the doctor argues that the cure
of the patient justiies his dishonesty, yet
he will boldly stand up at the next county
medical meeting and denounce Warmers
Safe Cure as a patent medicine, and one
which he can not and will not USE
The fact is that the people are waking up
to the truth that the medical profession is
far from honest, and that it does not pos
sess monopoly of wisdom in the curing of
disease, doctoring the many symptoms of
kidney disease, instead of striking at the
seat of disease-the kidneys themselves
allowing patients to die rather than use a
remedy known to be a specific, simply
because it has been advertised, and when pa
tents are dead from Advanced Kidney Dis
ease, still practicing deception by giving the
cause of death in their certificate as pneu-
monia, dropsy, heart disease, or some other
accompanying effect of Bright's Disease.
All this is prtmd fdcie evidence Of incom-
potency, bigotry and dishonesty
We speak but the truth when we say that
Messrs. II. H. Warner & Co. have done a
most philanthropic work for the past ten
years in educating the people up to the
knowledge they now enjoy, especially OF
Kidneys and Liver, and are deserving of
all praise for their honesty and straight
honesty of all kinds.-Er.
