~ Brothers A. L. Harper and ].
A. Whitaker, of Nash county, called
on us on their return from Oxford
and subscribed for their organ. They
felt happy. Bro. Harper, according
to- the Oxford papers, sold in that
market the finest tobacco ever seen there.
Nash and the adjacent territory is
the coming golden tobacco belt of the
South.
Bro. E. T. StackRouse, Presi.
dent of the South Carolina State ALI
ance, in a ringing appeal to the
brethren of South Carolina to take
and read their organs, says, to the
editors Of the Cotton Plant: Tell our
people to economic, to do without
coffee and trust sugar, if necessary, to
retrench anywhere and everywhere
they can, but tell them they can't
afford to do without the Cotton Plant
and the National Economist. The
Cotton Plant should go into every
Alliance family and the Economist
should go into every Alliance" Bro.
Stackhouse can render no more valu'
able service to his people than to in.
duce them to read their own papers.
In a business letter to the editor
from one of the most intelligent men
in the State, the writer says: Il
know that you have your hands, your
head and your heart full, and must
have for some time to come. The
movement in which you have taken
and are taking such an active part, is
growing and is going to keep on
growing until some matters in this
big Republic of ours are better regu'
lated than they have been. Oh how
the assertive, imperious few have
landed it over the many-hoW the
cliques and combines have ridden over
and trampled upon and dominated
the patient and unpretentious people.
There is grand work for you in tnet
redemption" We believe that WIN
opportunity comes responsibility,
The one favors us, the other confron's
us, and we feel that the great mass ..
the people realize it and will meet "
as become men and patriots.
