see a row of pretty maids in blazers drawn

No other crop, of whatsoever kind is
handled so carelessly or with such
loss. It suffers constant loss from
the gin to the spindle and the loss is
sustained only by the producer. Ii
would astonish the farmers OF the
South to know the immense loss on a
single crop. A demand will arise for
small bales, neatly and securely packed,
of convenient size, shape and weight
for handling, by one man, and that
demand will be met. This demand
will come when the farmer begins to

There are some bales packed in cotton
sheeting that will not stand the pres

and jute substituted. Farmers had
as well use the jute at once as any of
this fimsy stuff, for it will not be re-

THE. ATLANTA CONSTITUTION,
THE NORTH CAROLINA NE
GROES, AND MISSIS-
SIPPI.

TIME Atlanta Constitution charges,
l. if not directly, at least by inuen.
do, that North Carolina is securing
the emigration of it's negro population
to Mississippi. 1t is bad enough to
have to endure the misrepresentation
of Northern sectional demagogues in
regard to this everlasting and ever
present question of the negro, but
what must be said of a paper which
claims to be the great leading South
ern journal, which thus retails false
and groundless charges against the
good people of our State
We do not believe that a single
man in this State, of responsibility or
influence has ever given the least en-
couragement to the exodus move
ment. So far as we know a large
majority of our people are supremely
Indifferent to it. They would neither
encourage nor hinder the negro in the
matter. Theo would leave him to his
own unfettered choice as to whether
he will remoin or GO, and if he will
go, they leave him equally free in Sc
lecting his future home. The white
people of, North Carolina have long
since learned that on the great and
vital questions affecting the well-being
of that race, their opinions or advice
is as little valued as it is soght. Some
of us have very decided opinions on
this matter and one of those opinions
is that the two races cannot exist and
prosper under their present relations
But we would inform the Constitution
that the negroes of our State are moi
being persuaded or driven away, mol
are we wasting any of time il
the vain effort to impress them with
any of our views on the subject. No
we are not seeking our safety by
negroizing Mississippi.

A GOOD SPEECH FOR YOUR
+ LECTURER.

MEN are careless. They have de.
lN fective memories. They be-
come negligent. They need to be re-
minded of their duties. We know of
no more instructive or profitable
theme for the Lecturer of Sub,AIi-
ances than is to be found in our obi
CATION, and in the tenth article of our
Constitution. We believe it would
have a most happy effect on u order
generally, if the Lecturer of each
SubAtiance should be required fire,
quently to read the obligationin open
Alliance and comment upon tex
plain it and impress it upon the mem.
bers. He should also lecture the ALI
ance on the tenth article of our Con
stitution and show the absolute i'm
portance of it's faithful observance.
No Alliance can be too familiar with
the principles of our order, or with
the nature of the solemn obligation
we have taken to uphold and promote
those principles What we need now,
is to educate our order In the princi-
pies we have espoused. Our trouble
in the future will not come from the
outside, but from u own ranks.
Let us learn the law and reqire every
member so stand by it and he who
refuses, let him be dropped from the
roll. Let all our Sub Alliances have
their Lecturer, to study and present
these subjects to the members in open
meeting. Try it.

SHOULD THE ALLIANCE BUILD
A BAGGING FACTORYa

THE more the subject is discussed
i and investigated, the more the
thinking men of the South, in and
out of the Alliance, are impressed
with the practic ability and expediency
of the Alliance idea-that the South
should cover its cotton crop with cot
ton bagging, spun and wove in our
own mills. That this will be done,
admits of little doubt. Why should
not the farmers share largely in this
new Southern enterprise Can they
do it? Why not 4? 1t requires about
two and a half millions of yards to
cover the cotton crop of North Caro-
Ina. To make this would require
nearly 1000 bales of cotton. Three
thousand bales more would put up
aud equip a mill worth a hundred
thousand dollars. This seven thou
sand bales would be one bale out of
every fifty that is produced in the
State. Cannot the Alliance of our
State subscribe 1000 bales as stock to
such an enterprise and thus with
North Carolina capital and a North
Carolina product, furnish every yard
of bagging with which to cover our
North Carolina crop? We base our
estimate on yellow, stained or dirty
cotton.
We had as well begin to investigate
these matters and prepare to share the
advantages which will follow, as best
we may.
So soon as the policy inaugurated
by the Alliance shall become settled
and is accepted by the whole South
and the commercial world, and oul
mills shall cover our cotton, other re
forms and enterprises will NATURALLY
follow. Among these will be tn,
recognition of the truth that the siz
and style OF our present bales is ex

THE WAY 1T HAS BEEN DONE

FOLLOWING up the article in
IL our last issue on the subject of
Trusts, we offer an extract from a
document known as the "Hazzard
Circular" presenting the plan or
policy to be presented by the capital
lists of the United States for central
izing the money. How far that policy
has been adopted and practiced by
our capitalists, and to what extent
the financial policy of our government
has been made to conform to it, let
the depressed condition of agriculture
throughout the country answer. The
circular was issued in 1852 by English
capitalists and distributed in a secret
way among the bankers of this coun.
try. Read and ponder:
"Slavery is likely to be abolished
by the war power, and chattel slavery
destroyed. This, l and my European
friends are in favor of, for slavery is
but the owning of labor, and carries
with it the care for the laborer; while
the European plan, led on by Eng
land, is capital control Of labor, By cOm-
trolling wages.
This al be done by controlling the
money.
The great debt that capitalists will
see to it is made out of the war, must
be used as a measure to control the
volume of money.
To accomplish this, the bonds must
be used as a banking basis.
We are now waiting to get the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to make this
recommendation to Congress.
1t will not do to allow the green
back, as it is called, to circulate as
money any length of time, for we can
not control that"

COMING TO OUR HELP.

WE clip the following from the
w Mecklenburg Times, as show
ing that the Alliance, in its struggle
to build up the great agricultural in
terests of the country, have hosts of
friends outside who are cooperating
with US most cordially. The Times
Says:
Gen. Rufus Barringer, of this city,
is n of the large laud-holders of
Mecklenburg county. Besides his
stock and dairy farm near Charlotte,
he has some 20 or 80 tenants, and, as
be gives his numerous farms his per-
sonal care, he often resorts to short,
pointed circulars to make known his
wishes and instructions. In his 1889
Fall Circular" he meets the great in
dustrial issues in the following ex-
plicit terms:
81 am not an Alliance man, but I
favor it's policy of 'holding cotton
baling in home wrapping and boy
cotting all supplies and merchandise
covered by pools, trusts, etc. In
cases, therefore, where tenants have
arranged for continuing over, l will
store cotton free of charge and insur.
ance."
Further, to aid tenants, 1 furnish
small grain for fall seeding, and carry
cost to next crop; or if tenants leaves
to be on shares, as agreed.

THE WAY THEY DO IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.

IN the 10Th ult., according to a
~ correspondent of the NewS and
Courier, the town of Blackville, S. c.,
was thronged with wagons, all loaded
with cotton that was in full dress of
Alliance uniform. At one o'clock all
the wagons moved to the cotton plat
form and unloaded. The correspon.
dent says:
"Then the excitement began. The
Alliance clubs had already. selected
Mr.. J. G. Matthews, n of our most
thrifty, energetic and reliable farmers
as their salesman for the day, and it
was a waste of words to mention buy
ing to any of them. After getting
everything ready Mr. Matthews an
nounced that he was ready to sell and
bidding began. There were cotton
buyers from Charleston and Augusta
present, but the layout, about 80
bales, was bought by MI. Simon
Brown for 1927 IL cents, and then
the weighing began. There were no
samples taken, the whole being
graded alike. Col. Soiourner, the
head of the Alliance in this county,
and Mr.. J. G. Matthews, the salesman
for the day, each with a representative
from Mr.. Brown and sufficient help,
did the weighing, the Alliance men
keeping the weight, ass also Mr..
Brown. Ga aae
PAYING CASH. 6. ~
In instances where other merchants
had liens or claims on this cotton they
were allowed to take it at the figures
offered by Mr. Brown, if they chose,
but in nearly every instance they
preferred Mr.. Brown giving the cash
and taking that in settlement, it be.
ing one of the strictest requirements
of the Alliance that each and every
member shall pay his debts.
BETTER HEREAFTER.
The Alliance men are in full spirits
and say that to-day is nothing to what
they will do, and it certainly seems
to be so, for after to-day no .one car
say that they are not thoroughly or
ganized. No one here expected sucI
a day rs this, and remarks were mad
by every one expressing surprise. Al
other business except cotton was sus
pended, and the people were on tn,
streets"

A PUBLIC BORE.

Some people always have habit Of
reading aloud. No matter where they
are or what the subject is, they are con-
Btantly forcing their style of elocution
on an over-indulgent public. One of the
above specimens was seated at table
in an uptown restaurant last evening,
reading the entire bill Of fare aloud. 1t
seemed as though he wanted everybody
to hear him - and everybody did.
SO engrossed was he in reading about
mashed potatoes, fricasSee chicken,
etc, that he did not hear nor see the
waiter who stood patiently waiting for
his order.
What will you have, sir?" queried
the waiter, politely.
"Ham and eggs, boiled tripe, sirloin
steak smothered with onions, frogs
legs. kidney stew, corn beef hash, tea,
coffee, milk, chocolate" apparently
came the answer in loud tone to the
walters query.
The man was only reading aloud, but
the waiter did not know it, and in a
daZed sort of way he went and ordered
the whole outfit. He came back after a
while with his arms loaded with dishes,
and began diSpoSing of some of them on
the victims table. To say that the lat
ter was astonished would be drawing it
mild. He was simply paralyzed.
-y-wh-y-whatd does all this mean?"
stammered he.
why, sir, this is your ORDER" replied
the waiter.
Then mutual explanations followed,
and it is safe to say that the gentleman
will never read aloud again as long as
he lives
