 "Yes, I do, and moreover, I want to know what you arc going to do about it."
 "I can't do anything; Pm no surgeon"
 "But want to know If you are going to kill the dog1"
 "Killing the dog wouldn't help the wound, would it7"
 "No, but it would be of great satisfaction to me, and demand his death"
 "Did he jump over the fence and nab you?"
 "Of course he did"
 "Didn't crawl under the gate?"
 "No, tell you he jumped over the ience."
 "Did he go over with clear leap or did he scramble on top2"
 "He jumped clear over but what difference docs that maker"
 "Makes considerable difference. A dog that can jump 90 high fence must be valuable. For some time have thought that he was no account, and had intended to kill him, but now that you have given me so strong proof of his worth, why his stock goes up. He shall live. Now, if he had crawled under the gate, or if he had scrambled clumsiy on top Of the fence, should at once have signed his death warrant, but he cleared the fence at a bound T."

sELTZER AND LEMON.

A man whose face bore the marks of dissipation went into the office of lawyer, and, steadying himself against bookcase said
 "Reckon I'd better take seltzer and lemon" "I haven't asked you to take any thing" the law yer answered
 "All right, then goodbye"
 He went out; the lawyer turned to his work. Hours passed. He heard shu i'll ing on the carpet. Looking up, he saw the same man. He steadied himself again, and said
 "Guess I'd better take seltzer and lemon"
 "You haven't been asked to take anything tell you"
 "All right, then, I'll go."
 "Do so, and please stay away"
 Evening came. The lawyer had lighted the gas. A footstep attracted his attention. The same man stood before him.
 "Well, what do you want?"
 "Reckon I'd better take setZer and lemon" "I tell you that haven't asked you to take any thing"
 "That's so. Will you let me sit down here just minute"
 "Yes."
 "Late at night the lawyer shook him.
 "Come, Pm going to shut up"
 "No response" "Come, you may take what you want. Come now. Great God, he's dead!'

the benefit of their labor instead OF
giving it to the railroads who can
afford to pay for their labor, and let us
have the roads macadamized. There are
thousands of tons of rock within the
bounds of the penitentiary which could
be broken up by the prisoners who are
sentenced for long terms and those for
shorter. terms could work on the roads;
the bad places on the roa Is to be at
tended to first. Every county take Its
own convicts and work them for all
they are worth. Those counties away
from the penitentiary a use the rocks
from the fields near the roads which
the farmers would no doubt be glad to
get rid of.
If we are to pay n thousand dol
lars a week, as we have done the last
too years, for goodness sake let us have
something for it.

appointed by the County Alliance

Raleigh to the State Secretary of the
Alliance for presentation by the above

session, not only requesting but de-
handing prompt action in the matter.

LINCOLN COUNTY FARMERS
ALLIANCE.

TRIANGLE, N. c., Jan. Is, 1889.
EDITOR PROGRESSIVE FARMER.-Dear
SEr:-This Alliance met in the hall
of Hickory Grove Sub-Alliance, Jan
uary 4th, 1889, and was the most
largely attended, business-like and
harmonious session yet held. Roll
call showed all the Sub-Alliances rep
resented except one, which was or
ganized the day previous. Our or
ganizer has doubled the number of
Sub-Alliances since the October meet
ing. We nov have 10, with a total
membership of 252, against 81 three
months ago. And receipts are $3.50,
against $500 for the previous quar-
ter. This, we think, makes a good
showing for conservative old Lincoln.
The Alliance unanimously endorsed
the resolutions of the State Alliance,
to which was added the following
by ". A. Graham
hssapireR That we demand that our
Agricultural. Department be empow-
ereo AMI reolted to inspect grass and
other seeds sont tato our State for
sale, and that fraud therein be pun
ished by statute.
The following, by John i. Davis,
was also adopted &
RESOLVED, That we buy no good n.
guano from any merchant or agent
that charges more than'eight per cent
between cash and time prices.
J. W. A. Paine was elected Bust
ness Agent, Vice W. A. Graham, re-
signed.
The Alliance was handsomely en-
tertained by the good brethren and
sisters of Hickory Grove. They had
a large, well-prepared dinner, which
vas hugely enjoyed by the delegates.
While looking after the comfort and
pleasure of man, they had not for
gotten his beast, but had a bountiful
supply for them also. The Alliance
showed its appreciation of these kind
nesses by a resolution of thanks.
On motion, the Secretary was or
dered to send the proceedings to the
Lincoln Courier and The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER for publication. But the
brethren must excuse me for not
sending in full to The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, as it is overcrowded and its
editor likes things "boiled down"
The Alliance adjourned to meet
with Hills Chapel Alliance at Loves
vile the first Friday in April.

HOG
AND FERTILIZER TAX.
GoLDsBoRo, N. c., Feb. 4, 1889.

GoLDsBoRo, ". c., Feb. 4, 1889.
Me-. EDITOR 81 notice that our
legislators have passed q law for the
prevention of Hog Cholera" that
applies to about four counties, by re-
curing the isolation of diseased ami
mails and the burial of those that die.
/ would suggest that it were much
better to require them to be burned
instead of buried. The AR will pene.
trate the earth in light soils to the
depth of several feet; why not, then,
the germ of diseased hogs that are
buried communicate itself to the open
atmosphere and continue the con-
tagion !? There is no question but
that burning will destroy all disease
germ, if properly done.
Where we're our farmer members
when Mr.. Ransom was elected by a
handsome majority; that, too, by a
body that claims to be composed Of a
majority of farmers III Iguess some
few of us will want to know where
they were, taOo years hence-see if we
don't Did they get a little roo
MUCH newspaper motoraety through The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER when the cote
was pu6tishedP If SO, it's nothing
more than the occasion demanded
that farmers paper should give
them, in justice to them and its PAT
RoNs, who are mostly farmers, and who
want the truth and not public notoraety
so much.
What can our Alliances be thinking
of when they pass a set of resolutions
asking the repeal of the Fertilizer Tax
on commercial guanos ? Certain it is,
that there is a plenty of it on sale in
the State, and the quality is poor
enough now, without taking off the
TAG and State restrictions, and thereby
admitting to sale free of tax to the
farmers q more 1OorthlesS lot of trash
termed guanos than is now on sale.
Rather make the tax $1,000.

principles Of equity and business to
both the employer and employee. OF
course good laborers only r to be
considered in the matter. Bad ones
are not wanted at any figures. Then,
let the rates of wages, for different
grades of labor, be forwarded to the
County and Subordinate Alliances
throughout the State with instructions
to adopt at once. Every Alliance man
should be placed under solemn obiga-
ton to observe the regulations, and
should require every laborer applying
to him for work to bring with him
from his last employer a certificate OF
good character, stating the III OF
his leaving his employment, and show
ing him to be free from any obligation
or contract to serve any particular
person. That would be a beneficial
measure, Think, to all agriculturalists,
and would bring many new members
into the Alliance. Parties who r
now out of it would join at once, be-
cause that one action of the Alliance
having been frought with so much re-
lief and good to all, would commend
the order to thinking men everywhere.
Heretofore the laborers have con-
trolled the farmers. The time has
come to reverse the order of things,
and let the farmers control the labor
question as we'll as others that effect
materially their business interests.
Please take up the matter and give
it proper notice and attention through
the columns of your valuable journal.
Fraternally yours,
THos. M. REDDIoK, Sec'y.

H TRUE SPIRIT.

Nh. EDIToR.-Dedr SRI see all
over the State resolutions are being
offered by Alliances and / think it is
time that we should take a decided
stand in regard to many things, and
one should be, that we will not use
goods of parties who treat US with con
tempt by refusing to quote us terms
as low as they do their agents.
Now, as for the manufacturers of
fertilizers, they should quote us terms
as low as anyone, and if they refuse,
1 think We ought to just let their
goods alone; and if they still refuse to
sell to us as low as to anyone else we
should take steps at once to manufac-
ture our fertilizers. /, for one, am
anxious to see the Alliance move off in
the direction of manufacturing, not
only fertilizers but other things. Now,
how should we proceed, is the question.
We have men in the Alliance that are
willing and waiting for some one to
move off in this matter. /, for one,
will contribute, and [ know others in
my little Alliance, No. $50. We
number twenty-eight and we sent up
$4,000 to the State Business Fund
and will send more if necessary.
Brethren. we can make the Alliance a
rra3I& success i ~a " lets 10 It..
We mt vsSe " al De doing.
If parties respect as light let os
stick to them; if they turn to us a cold
shoulder, let them alone. Demand
nothing but what is right, but know
that we feed and clothe the world, and
are entitled to as good terms as any
middle man. Ever remember the
precepts of u order, and, your foot
planted firmly thereon, stand with a
determination to succeed, and we will.

THE
The Backbone Of the Country

1t is a conceded fact in the minds of every bust
ness man that the commercial status of every COM
munity is greatly dependent on the farmers of our
country in fact, SO much so that shonId i'll fortune
visit the fields of our never ceasing t~oilers, then the
merchants of our city would be forced to retreat.
Therefore, let us as business men aid and shield the
g the farmers whom I consider the backbone of
every community, from every i~mpediment that is
likely to retard their progress.
Mr.. L. C. BagHell, having removed his stock of
Caskets, Collins Burial Robes and everything in
the Undertaking line, to the corner Of East Martin
and South Blount Sts., is fully prepared to accom-
with the necessary equipments to give entire salts
faction. The most careful attention given 60 all
orders at day or night.
We heartily recommend Mr.. BagweIl as a young
man Of untirfng energy, and should you need any
thing in the Undertaker's line, visit his place of
business, corner of E. Martin and South Blount Sts.,
and full satisfaction viii be extended in q most
gentlemanlY manner.

EDITOR PROGRESSIVE FARNER.-Dedr
Sr:-Why is it that when a man
whose only calling is that of a farmer,
or has been that of farming, is spoken
of for an Office higher than that
of Legislator" the papers of this
State say, ''now don't I"-"no class
candidates"-and continue to speak
of them as "class candidates 2" Is it
not to array other classes against
them? Is it not to whip farmers out
of the field for the benefit of some
body else? | notice that several
newspapers advocate a lawyer for
Railroad Commissioner, yet not one
raises the cry "class candidate" 1t
is true they say we need a lawyer ito
interpret the law"-to keep the Com
mission "within limitations" If this
is SO, why not advocate that one Of
the county commissioners should be
a lawyer to "interpret the laws-to
keep them within limitations 2" Are
railroads to be more protected than
the people? Ought not a magistrate
to be furnished with a lawyer to in
terpret the law for him and keep him
within Limitations 2" Only when a
farmers name is mentioned do you
hear "class candidate" Surely there.
must be something "behind the
scenes" Can you not unravel this
"class candidate" problem :? Or is it
foreordained that the farmer must
not be represented in this "class-oc-
racy" government of ours?
