Those Dirty Programs.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
Can borrow your sympathetic ear to listen
to. and the tongue Of your paper for recital
of my woes? For although my own tongue is
quite up to the standard generally ascribed to
the fair sex. it is not as far-reaching as TIE
STAR, and 1 know of no other medium as good
to voice what know must be the sentiment of
the majority of women Of Washington. When
am afforded the pleasure Of an evening at the
theater. and don my best bonnet and gloves for
the occasion, preparatory to enjoying myself,
my temper is first rufaed. and before the even,
ing is over my gloves ruined by handling the
programs that are imposed upon theater eoers.
Surely the price of admission to our best bouses
is sufficient to justify the managers in giving
us a neat program; but if they are obliged to
burden us with advertisements to help defray
expenses, might they not at least print all the
program on one page instead of interrupting il
with advertisements Of different lanndries.
brands of beer, DC, &C., and forcing people to
turn the pages to find a continuation of Il. II
is one of two eyils-to remain in ignorance of
the cast until the play reveals it, or to ruin the
gloves by handling the monstrosities.

THE MOTHER DOES Nor WISH TO PROSECUTE
HER SoN-This afternoon. in the Police Conrt
Prosecuting Attorney Shillington called Judge
Miller's attention to the case Of Jas. T. Pugs-
ley, the young man charged with robbing his
mother, Mrs. Chapman. of 1880 worth of
diamond jewelry, as heretofore published in
The STAR, and stated that he was readG to hear
the case. Mr.. Darlington, for the aefendant
waived an examination and gave bail in the
sum of $500 to await the action of the grand
lnry. The prisoner was thereupon released
1t is understood that the young mans mother
does not desire to prosecute her son. Most of
the jewelry has been recovered.

"THE GRANARY OF THE STATE

CLYDE county is the granary of the
State" This has been asserted so
often, and from such sources as to
gain credence among our people, and
in this, as in other things, they are
not unfrequently betrayed into errors
which are sometimes ridiculous.
Governor Scales, in his recent mes
sage to the Legislature, in discussing
the possible or prospective advantages
to the State of the A. & N. @. Road,
says: Clyde county will furnish all
the corr needed in North Carolina at
reasonable rates"
Now The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, as
it's readers know, has strongly favored
the extension of this Road to Char
lotte, but not for the reason that
CLYDE county could furnish the
whole State with all the corn needed"
The census returns show that in 1880,
Hyde county produced 243,628 bush
els, and that Wake county produced
6l2,869 bushels, or nearly three times
as many bushels as Hyde. There are
nine counties in the State which pro-
duced over twice Is many as Hyde
and ifty-six counties that produces
more than Hyde.
The Progressive FARMER thinks
that n of the great needs of the
State, is an enlarged and accu-
rate knowledge among its people of
its resources and characteristics, hence
it desires that the farmer boys and
girls should not be misled in these i'm
portant matters.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-01-22

~ The indications are that the next
General Assembly of our State will be
composed largely of farmers. The Pro-
GREssIVE FARMER proposes to discuss freely
such issues and questions as will most
likely be brought before hat body and in
which every farmer in the State is directly
interested. 1t will keep its readers thor
oughly informed on all matters of legisla-
ton affecting their interests and will give
the ayes and noes whenever necessary.
The people shall know who are their
friends and who their enemies. If you
want to keep up, subscribe now for The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

ALLIANCE
Strong Resolutions on Important Mat
tiers,

Resolved by the Northampton County
Alliance, That we favor and adyise a
Farmers Convention to be held in
Raleigh on February 4th, 1889, to be
composed of two practical farmers
from each county in North Carolina
and to be representative of that class,
to recommend to the Legislature the
enactment of such laws as will be ad-
ivantageous to the interest of the agri-
cultural classes of the State, and the
reform of existing laws wherever
needed to the same end.
Resolved, That if the farmers in
general will not join US in the proposed
movement, then we favor such con
vention to be composed of Alliance
men, and we ask that the Farmers
Alliance move in the cause.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER most
heartily endorses the above resolu-
tons. We made an earnest effort in
the State Alliance to secure a commit
tee on Legislation. The State Grange
appointed one, and we think acted
wisely. We should formulate and
present our needs to the Legislature
in practical shape. We respectfully
call the attention of officers of the
State Alliance to this important mat
tiers.

1T DREW FIRE"

Our article in our last issue as to
who should constitute the Railroad
Commission, as we expected, "drew
fire." We saw the flash in the NeUS
and Observer of the 10th inst, but the
charge fell short, as we did not feel
it, and we notice the article simply to
re-afirm and to emphasize every word
and line in our article on that subject.
We believe the views therein set forth
would best subserve the interests of
the people and of the railroads, and
this should be the supreme object an esto5-
fishing O. Railroad Commission.
Our friend Democrat" quotes
literally from our article, but is sim
gularly expert in leaving out certain
sentences which we supply and reiter-
ate: For instance, "THE PROGRESSIVE
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-01-22
1T WOULD INSPIRE CONFI-
DENCE.

Our neighbor the News and Observer
in an admirably written article on a
railroad commission, says:
i Composed as we suggest we believe
a commission would be a valuable pub
lie agent. 1t would have the effect of
preventing the encroachment of corpo-
rate power upon the rights of the peo-
pie and at the same time Of preserving
to the railways all the rights they have
unimpaired at the hands of the public.
1t would free the railway management
OF the day to a great extent from the
popular prejudices with which it has
to contend. It would inspire greater
confidence in railway management
generally and would enable the rail
ways thus to act with greater freedom
and consequent better effect. It would,
we believe, bring greater prosperity
to the railroads and greater prosperity
to those whom the railroads serve
the merchant, the farmer, the profes-
sional man alike.

Fl LEGISLATURE,

Since our last issue, the Legislature
has gradually settled down to work,
and several measures of interest have
been introduced. Nearly all of the
committees have been appointed, and
have taken their work in hand. Most
of the legislation must needs emanate
from the various committees. Hence,
matured measures will not engage the
attention of the body for some time
yet.
Senator LeGrand introduced a bill
to authorize Richmond county to issue
bonds for building a new court house.
Passed its second reading.
Senator Lucas, a bill to regulate
the sale of corr in North Carolina.
Passed. Also a resolution In relation
to trusts and combinations. Adopted.
Senator Williams, of Pitt, resolu-
ton authorizing Commissioner of
Agriculture to offer premiums for
largest yield of grain, &C., per acre.
Senator Turner called up Bill No.
5, authorizing the county OF Iredell to
fund her outstanding railroad bonds,
which was passed.
In the House, MI. Alexander, a
resolution instructing Secretary Of
State to furnish the Landlord and
Tenant Act in pamphlet form to the
Justices of the Peace of the State.
Nh. McCubbins, a bill relating to
cotton weighing in Rowan county.
Mr.. Beddingfeld, to prohibit the
existence of trusts in North Carolina.
MI. Doughton, an act to simplify
deeds of c~onveyances, &c.
The following committees were ap-
pointed:

The meeting in Commons Hall to-
night promises to be a most interest
ing and pleasant occasion. Mr.. j. S.
Carr, of Durham, will preside. The
flag of the old Arson Guard, Col. R.
T. Benefits Company, will be carried
by Sergeant Hamilton, one of the
gallant soldiers of Col. Benefits Regi-
ment, who lost both his eyes in battle.
The United States flag will be borne
by Mr.. Ed. Fenton, who lost his arm
in his heroic effort to defeat it. Col.
T. @. Fuller will deliver the address
and will be followed by short adj
dresses from others. The ladies and
citizens and members of the Legis-
lature are cordially invited to be
present.

ALLIANCE AND THE GRANGE.

Many Of the delegates to the State
Grange are members of both the
Grange and the Alliance. They saw
that the Alliance and the Grange are
about the same, and Changers and
Alliance men are working harmo.
niously together in the matter of CO.
operating together in purchasing, and
in opposing monopoly and trusts. We
are glad to know this and we hope no
cause will ever arise to divide or an.
tagonize our farmers in their oppo.
sition to "trust" robbery and monopo.
listic oppression, and in their efforts
to better their condition. We hope
they will remain a unit in these things.
Roanoke Patron.
There is no antagonism, O can
there be, between these two great
organizations. We are aware that
men for selfish purposes, have endeav.
ored to ALLEVIATE the two orders, but
so long as the members of each stand
faithfully by their great principles,
which are the same, and so long as
the arch enemy of the liberties of the
to be
our common foe, just so long will all
good Alliance men and good Changers
stand together as brethren. The
writer is as true to Grange principles
now as when he was an active mem.
Der. No good Alliance man has
aught but the kindest and most frater-
nal feeling for the Grange.

A MODEL

No county in our State is less
known east of the Blue Ridge
than the little county of Clay. It
nestles in the grand old mountains
like a modest maiden on the lap of a
giant. 1t has a small population, but
it is rich in sources. 1t is poor in
money, but is wealthy in virtue.
Since it's organization, it has never
had a trial on the docket Of it's court
for murder or manslaughter.
There is not a distillery nor a bar
room in the county. Nc arrangement
for rape or other hideous crime has
eve disgraced the records of it's
courts.
Grass, clover, corn, wheat, oats,
rye, buckwheat, fruits and vegetables
grow luxuriantly, while it's water and
it's timbers are as fine as can be found
in the world.
Hayesville derived it's name from
our old friend Hayes of Cherokee,
than whom no man was aver more
devoted to his people, or was a truer
patriot, and is beautifully located on
the south bank of Hiwassee river.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
AND THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

The Greensboro Patriot and other
papers in the State have very kindly
suggested The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
in connection with the Public Print
ing. Raleigh correspondents of the
press have also given prominence to
the rumor that we would enter the
contest for "the coveted prize" We
have also been approached by promi-
nent gentlemen, both in and out of the
Legislature, to become a candidate.
For all these expressions of kindness
and p~artiality, we tender assurances of
our warm appreciation.
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER has not
been, nor will it be, a candidate for
the Public Printing. 1t cannot and
it. will not enter a contest for political
patronage. Its record, its work and
its service for u people and State,
r well known. Upon this alone it
relies for whatever of support it may
receive at the hands of the people. If
it should be honored with a tender of
the Public Printing, it would have to
come without u seeking and as a
free-will offering entirely, even from a
Farmers Legislature.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-01-22

FARMER has naught to say as to the
patronage to be bestowed in considera-
ton of party service rendered. But it
is bold to say that it will be a sad day
for North Carolina when such Offices
as Railroad Commissioner" &C., &C.,
"shall be parcelled out to any mar or
men because of service rendered to- the
party. To recognize and to reward
such service is well and proper, but in
the above named positions, is not in our
judgment, the place to do So"
No, friend Democrat" we are Gin
no sense a candidate for Railroad Com
missioner" ,.va''@.s
The able editor of that able journal
the Wilmington Star, in discussing
this subject, says:
"A wise, able, honest Commission
working under a judicious and intel
ligently framed law, will be of service
to the people. Gov. Scales sees the
great Importance of selecting the right
men for the place. To command the
respect and confidence of the people,
the politicians must be shut out. If
you appoint the politicians, you will
find the people generally saying, as we
. already hear them saying in advance,
that the Commission was merely
created to take care of ofice-seekers,
and not really to benefit the people"
