The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-12-24
STAFF CORRESPONDENCE.

GAsToN1A, N. c., Dec. II, '89.
Two months ago the live farmers
of Cabarrus county were about done
seeding what. In M~ecklenburg and
CASTOR a good many are sowing now
many of them blowing it up, like
burying the seed never to rise again.
Who will harvest the most grain?
CASTOR is a fine little county. All
of the crops raised in western North
Carolina do well here. CASTOR has
more cotton factories than any county
in the State. In most counties in our
State the county seat is the leading
town in commercial Importance, but
not so with Dallas. 1t is a pretty
village, but looks like it had been left,
and in fact it was. When the Atlanta
and Charlotte Air Line was built Dial.
las was left just 4 miles from the rail,
road, Gastonia, the largest town in
the county, is but 4 miles from the
county seat and is a trading point of
some Importance. A large cotton
mill and two door and sash factories
are the leading industries. There are
cotton factories at Mount&in Island,
Mt. Holly, McAdensville, Kings Noun
tain, Gathers, Wilson's and two or
three other points in the county. A
new factory is in course of erection
on the south fork of the Catawba At
each of these factories some lively vii
lagos have been built so the people
have markets very conveniently stu
ated. CASTOR has the advantage of a
good railroad outlet. The Corolina
Central crosses the northern port of
the county, the Richmond & Danville
through the central from east to west
and the Chester & Lenoir narrow
gauge from north to South. The
narrow gauge road is a "daisy." 1t
starts at Chester, S. c., and never
stops until it gets to Lenoir. Trains
run on this road at the rate of Is and
80 miles per hour. A year or so ago
an engineer of a construction train
tried 80 miles an hour with a load OF
cross-ties and it was but a little while
until he damned up a creek with cars,
cross ties and dead negroes. The
company built a new trestle and in.
structed their men to make haste more
slowly.
CASTOR has a good many good ALI
ance men. They have a business
agent and cotton buyer and are run
ming a store at Gastonia.

ALL1ANceMEN, GO TO OXFORD.

1T is generally understood among
IL the tobacco growers of the State,
that the cigarette manufacturers have
| combined and have arranged for con:
trolling the price of the particular
class, of tobacco used by them In the
manufacture of their cigarettes. 1t
is charged that they have parcelled
out those markets among themselves,
lin which the particular and desired
quality, of tobacco is sold, and will
not send their buyers or agents to
any market to compete with each
other.
This and other grievances, will be
looked after in the meeting of the
tobacco growing counties which is to
be held in the town of Oxford on
Thursday the 9th of January. Let
every county in the tobacco belt,
take immediate action to. be well
represented in that meeting and let
every true Alliance mai throughout
the State and the county, stand by our
brethren in their effort to maintain
their just rights. The tobacco men
stood Loyalty by the cotton men in
their fight with the Infamous jute
trust. now let the, cotton men stand
manfully and faithfully by our, good
brethren in the tobacco belt. The
cause of our State is the cause of all
the States. The cause of one man is
the cause of all the men in our order,
and let our enemies and the world so
understand it. Let there be a rous.
ing meeting at Oxford on the 9th.

appreciation to any one of her sister
Alliances in the State. TIE only re.
greet is that time was too limited to
permit old Mecklenburg going down
TO clasp hands and unite hearts with
old Wake in her appropriate NANTES

guished son. Well, the mantle has
fallen upon the shoulders of one
among the many of the fttest, and
will be gracefully and efficiently worn.
The farmers are in deep circulation
and their only hope is in the National
Farmers and Laborers' Union, of
which Hon. L. L. Polk is the honored
and worthy President. :
Bro, T. F. Guy, Secretary of Sweet
Home Alliance, No.. 1889, Of ,Iredell
county, writes: [ have been reaaing
Alliance notes from all over the State,
but have never seen a scratch from.
corner yet. 1 suppose they are
all waiting for some one to brake the
ice, and as | am the one, hope that
l may get over safely. Our Alliance
is very small yet, but means what
she does, and is doing all she can to-
press forward this grand and noble
work. We have sixteen members,
mostly all good men, some preachers
and no ladies, but 7 think we will
have ome ladies', before very much
longer, We again need a "stirring
up" from some good brother like DIR.
D. Reid Parker. We would be glad
if he would come around again. We
need some good lecturer to visit this
part of the county often. We are
taking three copies of THE PROGRESS
l FARMER, and they are helping US
out wonderfully. Z Hurrah for the
Alliance and the editor of the organ.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ST.
y LOUIS CONVENTION.

WE cheerfully give space to the
w publication of the official pro
ceedings of the National Farmers AL
lance and Industrial Union. We
regret that the copy was received too
late to give it entire. 1t will be in
teresting reading to all and valuable
especially, to the members of u or
der. Preserve, carefully, the copies
containing this record. Read and
study the constitution and the laws
enacted in pursuance thereof and
which will appear in our next issue.
We beg to direct attention, in ad-
vance, to the report on the monetary
system, which was adopted. W. re.
gard it as the most important action
taken by any body Of men in this
country, since the adoption of the
Federal Constitution. Read it, study
it, investigate it.
The constitution and laws will be
ready for distribution at the earliest
practicable moment.

CAPT. DARDEN IN THE EAST.

SHALLoTTE, N. c., Dec. 18th, 1889.
Mr.. EDITOR [ would like for the
Brethren to know what the people of
Bruins wick county thinks Of the Far
mers' Alliance. Before Capt. Oar
den made his tour through here,
there we're many who though we'll of
it, for we are Alliance people
through and through. The Captain
made four public speeches in Bruins
wick, three of which 1 heard, they
were all we'll attended, and spoken of
in most fattering terms, But when
he spoke in the court house in South
port it capped the climax, for there
were the doctors, lawyers, merchants,
pilots, mechanics, and in fact all class.
es except the ladies; and I do think
Bro. Darden ought to return to
Southport and speak for them, for
they will surely turn out next time.
I have conversed with some of all
classes and they all agree that Capt.
Darden Is the right man in the right
place. He has made many friends
to the Alliance and for himself
Everybody wants to be an Alliance
man. He was also very successful in
collecting money for the State
Agency. Yours Fraternally,
GEO. LEONARD.

GUILFORD NOTES.

The Alliance throughout the
County have taken new life and
greater zeal is shown in trying to
make the meetings profitable and in.
teresting.
The Center Grove Alliance Nc,
1904, had a jollifcation meeting on
November 2Sth, and quite a good
crowd listened to a fine address by
DR.. r. Reid Parker in the school
room of Hillsdale High School. The
day before was so very unsavorable
and the morning so threatening, the
crowd was not near so large as would
have been and our good women were
disappointed in not being allowed to
feed a larger crowd.
On December 7th, Allamance Al.
lance held a picnic and were ad.
dressed by Rev. G. Miller and John
w. Wilborn, Assistant Lecturer for
the county. The day was fine, the
crowd large enough, the dinner ex.
cellent and Bro. Miller's speach very
good and we trust that much was
done for the cause. There are sew.
eral more pic-nic's on foot and we
hope every community may be stir.
red to it's utmost and our member.
ship increased. Our county Alliance
is active and progressive. We are
moving for better things ia our
county. W. must have an exchange
in our section of the state. Our
county is where it ought to be. Let
every brother work for this end.
We have moved up for better
times and living among the farmers;
let every man remember his VOWS and
pay those VOWS to the order. Pray
ing Gods blessing upon the Order
and it's officers we are
Yours in bonds

HI SILVER
OLD FOGY.

In the News- Observer Of December
IT an article with the caption given
above challenged my attention.
We're you not SO pressed for space |
would ask you to reproduce it. 1t
is able and exhaustive, and as the
monetary issue is the supreme ques
ton of the hour l an indeed proud
to see that Bro. Ashe takes the ad.
vanced views he does. In conclu-
sion Bro. Ashe adds, Il seems to
us that the policy of unlimited cour-
age (of silver( will solve many great
questions, right many wrongs and be
of great value to the people of this
country" We thank, the Roderick for
the word.
How much ADLER and just is the
article in question than the position
taken by Cleveland in his message to
Congress, Dec. 6, 1885, 81 have seen
no reason to change the views ex.
pressed in my last annual message,
and [ again urge the suspension of
compulsory coinage of silver"

LETTER FROM A FARMERS
a.. DAUGHTER. . /.

AMBoY, N. c., Dec. II, 1889.
ME-. EDITOR: If you will allow me
space enough in your valued paper,
l thought l would write, to let you
know that we are still in existance.
Since [ have been reading The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER I have read many
pleasant and encouraging letters
from different alliances throughout
this grand old State, but not one
word have | cen from our Alliance
or even u county. Do not think
sir, that we are not doing anything
simply because we do not bother you
every mail with some article or an
mother. We are all poor, hard work
ing farmers, yet we are as true to our
order as true a be.
We have about 70 male members
and % females making in all about
SO members, the most of whom are
of the pure Alliance grit, while there
are a few others who are careless,
good-for-nothing members, But we
will not bother them any longer than
it will take to get rid of them. ]
think the best thing we could do
with brandy sellers would be, to get
rid of them as soon as possible.
Some of them do not have any more
respect for themselves, nor any one
else, than to go to our regular meet,
n gs smelling like a brandy barrel,
and their noses looking like a red pep
per pod.
I'VE have srduously been fighting
trusts and monopolists eve since the
organization of our alliance, and
having truth and honor as our watch
word, we trust that in due time God
will give Us the victory. 1 don't
think the members of our alliance
are reading The PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER as much as they should. [ think
it is just as hard for a man to be a
good AIlianceman and not read as it
is to live without eating. Brethren
of the Alliance, it is time we were
waking up to a sense Of u duty If
we love our country and State. We
must have an education or we will
perish. I believe the Farmers Ali
ance to be one of the noblest insti-
buttons aver gotten up by man, the
church of God being it's only SUI
perior. May God bless the Alliance
and The Progressive FARMER:
F~raternally Yours,
SARAH M. PARRISH.
