A brother writing on business,
from Toisnot, takes time to say,
"Harry Tracy has helped the cause
wonderfully in this vicinity"
Organizer w. F. Tomlinson, of
Haywood county, reports the organi
zation Of Haywood County Alliance,
on the Sd inst, with j. M. l.. Nc
Cracker, President, and Robt. Win
field, Secretary. In this county there
are now eleven Alliances in good work
ing order.
"A member of Alliance No. 57l,
of Rowan county, says it is still lively
and that the members are taking a
deeper interest in the work than ever
before. The great complaint in this
section, is too much rain. Corn is
looking well, but cotton is rather
backward. .r
Bear Greek Alliance, No. l,lOl,
Cabarrus county, elected officers June
9th. A note from j. H. Moore in
forms u that the brethren are heartily
in favor of consolidation with the
Wheel and Union and have endorsed
the action of the Birmingham meet
ing. He says: Though few in num-
Der and weak financially, we are all
regular "tar heels" and will stick,
and you are requested to remember it.
At the last meeting of Berry's
School House Alliance, No. 1916,
the following resolution was. adopted:
Resozved, That this Alliance hereby
accepts and, adopts the act of assembly
entitled can Act to Incorporate the
Farmers State Alliance" as it's char
ter Of Incorporation and constitution
and bylaws, rules and regulations
which may be prescribed by the
properly constituted authorities there
under"
Bro. T. S. Wilkerson, of Blue
Wing Alliance, No. 632, writes US a
letter in which he proposes, as a
speedy means of raising the Business
Agency Fund, to require every male
member of each Sub-Alliance to pay
at least one dollar to this fund, and
have it understood that those who re.
fuse to pay that amount, are to reap
none of the benefits to be derived
from said fund. His Alliance has
subscribed about forty dollars, part
of which has been paid in.

Using it as largely as possible.

not wonder at his great popularity as
a Lecturer.

are opposed to the Alliance, should

things to think about. He will

PRESIDENT ALEXANDER'S sue
II CESSOR.

1t is right funny to see some of our
State papers which are outside of the
Alliance suggesting names for the
Presidency of the State Alliance which
meets next month and which will elect
a successor to Capt. S. B. Alexander,
who is ineligible after this term; and
it is right interesting to observe the
spirit with which Brer Polk, of The
PRoaREssIvE FARMER, resents these
outside suggestions. The only thing
certain so far is that the man whom
the outsiders suggest will not get the
place. If you will tell us who Brer
Polk is for we will tell you who will.

The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, although
the official organ of the State Ali
ance, would not presume to obtrude
it's personal preference, (if it had any
for the Offices of the order, on the
brethren. That body will be composed
of solid, substantial men, and if any
one, whatever his position, should SO
urderrate their independence as to
presume to dictate to them how; OF
for whom they should vote, he would
surely get the rebuke he would de.
serve. No, Brer Caldwell, you have
"some of the points down fine" but
"woe be to that man" who would
undertake to dictate to that body and
particularly in the matter of selecting
its officers. However, some of Brel
Caldwell's points are we'll taken.

raH REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.

= ~ ss0A Wa Va AAAe
The FINAL report of the grand Jury
for the current term of the Second
District Court, although brief, is
about q satisfactory as any we have
ever seen.
Out OF So cases submitted to them
- most OF which were doubtless rem
nants or "tailings" of the extensive
business transacted under the fee
syste m--only four were deemed OF
sufficient gravity to justify the find
ing OF an indictment. This action OF
the grand jury will 60 far toward
clearing the calendar Of tho business
that has accumulated upon it during
the past few years.
Having Investigated the allegation
Of the Bellevue Press, to the effect
that some of the county officials had
falsi6ed the county records, they com
plstely exonerate the officials. In
order to give the publishers OF the
Press . chance 10 justify the publica'
ton, they subpoeu@d them. One
Mr.. Goodwin-answered the sub.
puna; the other-Mr. Wheeler
found it necessary to 60 off to Poca'
tello about that time, and telegraph
from there that he WAS sick. The
telegram WAS probably true. A mar
who could publish such cruelty
false charge and refuse to retract il
when it is proved false would be like
~ 70 feel sick, very sick, when sum
moned before q public tribunal t
substantiate the charge.
Mr.. Goodwin gave as his authorit!
for tho false statement Professor Ba
ksr, Principal of the Bellevue publ
schools, who is said to have given ex
County Commissioner Wilton as hi
authority.
The latter was also convenient
absent when wanted by the gran
jury; hence it was impossible to q
certain whether he just imagined II
lie "out Of his own head" or wheth
some ono else told it to him. But,
any rate, the charge is proved false.
and that is what most concerns 4
Taxpayers.
To be thus publicly branded
talsi6ers by 16 responsible either
acting with due regard to the solrr
obligations which they assumed
grand jurors, cannot but be unple'
ant to all persons concerned in orig
ating, repeating, and upholding
Islander, even though their conscien'
should be as elastic as India rubb
In future whenever any of tn
makes statement that is not obvio
" true, it should and will be dis
aieved. And, although they may
realize it at once, the remarks OF
grand jury on the subject will DO
msmbered to their great anuoya'
and damage long after they will b
xainly endeavored to outlive them.
