ALLIANCE

Since it is impossible for US to print
in full, in our limited space, any consider
able portion of the correspondence which
is now flowing in upon us from every
point of the compass, and, being DESTROYS
that every section of the State may have
a hearing through our columns, we have
decided that hereafter, we will give, in
brief form, only the pith and point Of the
brethren's favors. Correspondents will
therefore understand that our only object
in rewriting and condensing their con-
tributions is simply to save space and to
give a greater number a opportunity to
be heard. There are nov in North
Carolina 1906 Alliances, and no one out
side of this Office can form the slightest
idea of the quantity of matter sent US for
publication. We have reached the point
where we must condense.
-Catawba Creek Alliance, No. 636,
have resolved that they will buy no guano
this year unless it can be procured through
Alliance Agents.

at last meeting, resolved that they will
use no commercial fertilizer on corn or
cotton if the price is higher than it was
in 1888.
AT a regular meeting of Ormandsville
Alliance, Green county, held on the 9Th
inst, it was resolved to use no fertilizer
unless it could be obtained through ALI
nee Agents.
Spring Hill Alliance, Of Sampson
county, by a unanimous vote, decided to
buy no guano except through Alliance
Agents. If they cannot get it that way
they will do without it.

RIDICULING THE FARMERS
LEGISLATURE. .

Articles in newspapers and rumors

TENT farmers from supporting farmers
for any Office hereafter. Iffarmers in
this Legislature betray the trust i'm

be discouraged but should be more

nerve, honor and honesty-men who can
not be hoodwinked and "canoodled "

age to withstand and the mi to

The PROGRESSIVE FARMER will begin,
on the 9Th Of February, the publication
of Joaquin Miller's new serial story en-
titled "The Buried River" It is a bold
venture beyond the improbable into the
impossible, for it deals to some extent
with that river which some Californians
have conceived as flowing under the
ground below their mines, and bedded in
solid gold that has during the ages washed
into it's waters. In that respect it sug-
gests a Rider Haggard phantasy. But
Joaquin Miller is ever a poet, and he has
placed an absorbing romance of quite
reasonable if unusual love into that en-
vironment of strange adventure. It is a
work that introduces him powerfully and
remarkably into prose fiction, according
to a publisher who has read the .
script. This is the beginning of the
series of stories which we referred to in
our last issue, and will be followed by
1.-The Colonels Cards." by Franklin File,

NOTES.

In the Senate Mr.. Wimberley's bill
to work public roads By taxation, was
lost.
Senator Williams introduced a bill
to authorize premiums for certain
field crops. 1t was loaded down with
amendents and killed by ridicule, a
proceeding that would have better
suited a less dignifed body than the
North Carolina Senate. "

amend the Constitution of North Caro-
lima as follows: lst. To prevent any
member of a General Assembly which
creates an Office to be. eligible or APP
pointed to the first term of that Office.

Agriculture a Constitutional officer of
equal dignity with the Secretary of
State and other officers of State and
elected by the people. Sd. To make
the term of Office of Governor and
other State Offices to begin on the
third Wednesday after the first Mon
day in January, so that the General
Assembly a count the vote before
the term of Office begins.

Of course we do not present a 1.-THE
of the work done in the Legislature,
but when it shall have assumed shape
and is brought up for final action, we
shall present all measures of general
interest and the action thereon. We
learn that it is generally believed that
any measure looking to the enlarged
Jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace,
will be vigorously opposed by certain
members, Doubtless this and the
matter of establishing a Railroad Com
will be strongly contested.

How NAMES ARE GoT-A BIT OF PER. soNA1 ExPERIENoE.-Al locality in Union is called Breakneck, it is said because an OK broke his neck. Saybrook was named from two of its settlers, Say and Brook. A small village on the line that divides New Jersey and New York is called Mid. dle Town. asked an old resident why it was so called. He pointed to large house and said, "that house stands near the line of the states. A good many years ago, at social gathering held there, one young man got full of apple jack, and when he went out in the morning he cried 'hurrah for Middle Town P" The little village covers portion of two towns, also DOT tion of two states. It still goes by the name of Middle Town. How some men get names A man who lived near Middle Town when he was young stole turkey. His first name was John. I knew him when he was old, but he was always called ''turkey John." When I lived in Stafford, forty years ago, an old soldier of 1872 told me this story of an- other Stafford soldier and how he got a nickname. When the British vessels lay below New London the American soldiers were at Groton or New London. The of, ficers, thinking to try the courage of the soldiers, one night about sunset got up g sham fight below New London, then had the soldiers called out to meet the foe. When they got to the supposed point of danger the roll was called and three or four men were missing from the Stafford company. In the morning the roll was called again and all were present. Those men who were missing at the summons to fight were called to account. The first man said that he was taken very sick, but the last man when asked what excuse he had said he thought it was no use to go for he knew it would be ad-s sham. And he always there after went by the name of d. sham, under which name knew him, and cannot recall now what was his rightfulname. sD.T.

WHAT MEN HAVE NOT FOUGHT FOR.

My dear boy, men have fought, bled, and died, but not for beer. Arnold Wind elried did not throw himself upon the Aus trian spears because he was ordered to close his saloon at nine o'clock. William Tell did not hide his arrow under his ve t to kill the tyrant because the edict had gone forth that the free-born Switzer should not drink keg of beer every Sun- day. Freedom did not shriek as Kos ciusko fell over whisky barrel. Warren did not die that beer might flow as the brooks murmur, seven days g week. Even the battle of Brandywine was not fought that whisky might be free. No clause in the Declaration of Independence declares that Sunday concert garden, with five brass horns and one hundred kegs of beer, is the inalienable right of free people, and the cornerstone of good government. Tea-mild, harmless, innocent tea; the much sneered-at temperance beverage, the feeble drink of effeminate men and women tea holds high place-it fills bright CT, more glorious page, and is grander figure in this United States than beer Men like tea, my boy, but they hurled it into the sea in the name of liberty, and they died rather than drink it until they made it free. It seemed to be worth fight ing for, and the best men in the world fought for it. The history of the United States is incomplete with tea left out As well might the history omit Faneuil Hall and Bunker Hill as tea. But there is no story of heroism or patriotism with rum for its hero.
 The battles of this world, my son, have been fought for grander things than free whisky. The heroes who fall in the strue. gle for rum fall shot in the neck, and their martyrdom is clouded by the haunting phantoms of the jim jams. Whisky makes men fight, it is true, but they usually fight other drunken men. The champion oi beer does not stand in the temple of fame
 he stands in the police court. Honor nev CT has the delirium tremens, Glory does not have 8 red nose, and Fame blows 6 horn, but never takes one.-Bardette.

uuO d1O Ol0W, was 6bhA UACo 1doO w C0AO0- day by report that he had tainted while rowing on the preceding evening, and by the additional statement that his illness was probably due to heart trouble. It was false. He is not sick, nor is any of the crew, and they are as careful what they eat and drink and wear as the young moth- CT with her babe. The friends of Yale throughout the country deplored MT. Cor bins sudden illness-a trusting Associated Press reporter having circulated the story abroad-the men of Harvard rejoiced, and
 the athletes father came to New Haven in great haste, thinking that his son was dangerously stricken. It was not at all amusing for Mir. Corbin. The Palladium says: "Within two weeks Dr. Francis Bacon has been all over the young mems constitutions. He stood on tip toes and
 looked down Corbin's mouth. He felt of his knee joints, and nestled close to his heart to see if it pulsated according to
 Hoyle. Then he went over all the other
 big fellows, and the results were magnif- cent. Good health prevails, and appetite,
 the pulse and the courage are at standard mark. Captain Rogers said last night that all is we'll with the Yale crew. He did not say that victory was sure, but his teeth clinched as he talked of Harvard, and it
 was too evident that the crimson is doomed
 to leave any doubt in the mind of anybody y
