Poisoned
by ScrofuIa

Is the sad story of many lives made misers-
BILE through no fault of their own. scrofula
ls more especially than any other a hered-
ltary disease, and for this simple reason ::
Arising from impure and insufficient blood,
the disease locates itself in the lymphatics,
which are composed of white tissues; there
is period of fetal life when the whole body
consists of white tissues, and therefore the
unborn child is especially susceptible to this
dreadful disease. But there is remedy for
scrofula, whether hereditary or acquired. 1t
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. which by its powerful
effect upon the blood, expels every trace OF
the disease and gives to the vital fluid the
quality and color of health If you decide to
take Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept any
substitute.

A prominent Saltwater gentleman. in the
city yesterday confirmed the reports recently
published respecting the lax management of
the state prison He added it was notorl-
Gus fact that a convict had been allowed to
spend the night in house of prostitution
two miles from the prison. The chief of po-
lice at saltwater had also discovered bur
glary tools on convicts released from prison.
These tools it is alleged, were made iii
prison. AT the present time number or
guards are out eectionsering in the state.
A. s Tallmadge-I do not believe IL secret
sessions. Matters of public importance
should be given the fullest publicity. On the
other hand, think it proper that charges
made against officials should first come be-
fore an executive committee and let them re-
port as to the desirability of making an in
vestigation There could not be any way i'll
which the charges could be flushed up
and IL is only fair to the official charged that
such a precautionary method should be
adopted.

NATIVE GRASSES.

The native wild grasses of any re
gion are those which have become
most fully adapted to the soil and eli
mate of that particular region. Such
grasses are, however, as rule, much
inferior to the standard cultivated
grass of agriculture. 1t is possible,
however, that with careful cultivation
and selection many of these wild
grasses can be improved without ma
terialIy decreasing their hardness.
The North Carolina Experiment Sta
tion has been working on this line,
and desires to enlarge its grass plan
tation until it has growing every ma
tive species of grass that promises
anything. The Station requests farm
ers or others who notice native grasses
OF particular vigor, or which seem to
be rellshed by stock to collect and
send a few specimens to the Station
at Raleigh for Identification Send at
the same time all the information that
can be collected concerning the grass.
State whether a few ounces of the
seed can be collected, but do not col,
lect the seed until fully ripe, which
can be determined by noticing whether
the seeds are hard and dry and easily
fall out of the husk when rubbed

THEN AND NOW.

l ast fall potatoes were fifteen cents,
per bushel, and they told you it was
overproduction; and before another
crop IS raised The same potatoes are
worth Sl,5O per bushel; also last fall
corn was worth fifteen cents per bushei,
and now, before another crop is raised,
it is worth forty cents. In the name
Of God, farmers, do you believe them
when they tell you it is overproduc
ion ? The fact is, when :he farmers
have anything to sell it is overproduc-
ton, and when their products go into
the hands Of combines, it IS under
production. Now what are you going
to do? Are you going to vote with
the party that made all these inequali-
ties possible, or vote with the people
VINO claim to help you? Letthem have
chance. God knows they can't make
things any worse than they are

the demands Of the Farmers Alliance.

FROM THE BEAUFORT COUNTY
ALLIANCE.

Mr.. EDITOR:- In response TO an
order of this Alliance, made at the
July meeting, by which | was in.
structed to prepare and report at The
next regular meeting, resolutions ex.
press ng the views Of this Alliance on
Federal taxation and other financial
matters as they affect the interests of
agriculture and labor, / beg leave to
z port as follows:
WHEREAS, 1t IS d notorious fact
laat farmers aud farm Iaborers receive
less compensation for the labor, care
and at ,ention bestowed, by them, on
their business than any other class of
Pc pie in the United States; and
whereas, this result is caused by the
fnaH i2l sysE EN- and management of
the same, Of the United States Gov
erLment, and esp cially by that unjust
aDd oppre ssive tax known as the pro
tectivt :arlff, whereby farmers and
farm la3-r4r8 are compelled to pay
not only heir just share Of revenue
needed ior yhe support Of the gvYeIg1
ment, but are also compelled to pay,
annually, IN addl' on thereto, many
hundreds of millions of dollars to
nanufac .urers and other monopoIists
to Increase their already overgrown
profits and wealth. II .refore,
Hesolved, That We demand such
financial reform, by said government,
as viii remove the unjust burdens
now resting on all persons engaged in
agricultural pursuits, and that We
especially demand the reduction and
modification of the protective tariff so
that "equal rights to all and special
privileges to none" may ne the rule
III taxation and il all other aoatters Of
legislation.
Rs8oLved, We demand the zee and
unlimited coinage of silver and the
repeal of the United Sites tax on
State bank currency, so that each
State may provide for the creation Of
a sufficient amount of currency Gcr its
own people, which currency will not
he subject to manipulation, by UHl,ed
States officers, in the interest oL spec
ulators and moropolists.
= Resol0ed, We demand OF the next
Legislature of North Carolina a re
duction in the legal rate Of interest,
believing, as we do, tha. the rate 6zed
by law largely controls the rate de-
manded by lenders and that no legiti.
mate business can be successfully con
Quoted on borrowed capital at 8 pei
cent.
- Reso1ved, That ;he above demands
are just and fair to all and if the same
are faithfully carried out, farmers and
laborers will gain become prosperous,
contented and happy, without resort
ing to any extraordinary, special or
class Legislation, all of which We con,
denim as wrong in principle and of
more than doubtful utility.

BIG IVY ALLIANCE.
A SETTLER.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Having never seen
anything in any of the Alliance papers
concern ng our lodge, wish to wri5e
few lines, hoping that your courtesy
will not deny me space in the columns
of your noble paper. | wish to say
just few words concerning the state
Of affairs that now exists.
The question is now distinctly pre-
sented whether the people of the
United States are to govern them
selves through e3resentatives chosen
by their unbiased suffrages, or whether
the money of the speculative class is
to control the election of such officers
as dictate the policy of ne nation !;
whether the honest auu patriotic
toiers of the land will rule, or brib-
cry, fraud and corruption Let us
ali go to work and not say what little
we can do avails nothing; let no tilLer
Of the soil and ag0ast but come to
the front. Every farmer should take
some good paper aud school himself
and learn in full the oppression that
he endures. The farmer who says he
Las not time TO read paper tha5 IS
laboring to support the cause in which
ne Is most Interested, makes ac-
acknowledgement at once that he has
turned too much of his time over 30
the other fellows 1 MS position is a
grand mistake Of the farmer. He
should conduct his business so that
he can have time to read, and by so
doing he can post himself and thereby
be abe to cope with the other fellows
who are speculAtipg at our expencs
Can't we sop class legislation ? The
railroad monopoly is now so complete
that they consrOl the price of farm
products Doth here and IN the West,
and they only ALLOW the farmer of the
West a price for their products barely
sufficient to keep the wolf from the
door, while they charge the consumer
East all he can possibly pay. And
while the Eastern farmer can only
grow crops about six months in the
year, the mortgage grows twelve and
Is never damaged by hail, cyclones
nor grasshoppers.
The agricultural Industries of the
country are confronted by active rail
roads, national banks and boss politi-
claus. The effect of this is to enhance
the cost Of everything the farmer has
to buy. And on the other hand this
industry is assisted by combinations
OF capital organized to come between
IL, III
they fix prices for both, and to lay
tribute upon both the producer and
the consumer. Now the best way to
kill these men is to starve them to
death. We may curse and swear and
abuse them, but SO long as we iced
them on our votes they live. Don't
be a political fool, don't be clam.
Fraternally,
r. J. Brown, President.

ACRY FROM NEW HANOVER
COUNTY.

DIR. KDIToR:-I have read with
pleasure, from time to time, articles
upon the agriculture of North Caro-
lima, and have noted with satisfaction
the Interest you display in the welfare
of the farmers and the development
Of the resources of the soil of this
State. But there is one great hind
rance to successful cultivation to
which you have no allusion, which
acts as a giganti; barrier in New
Hanover county, and effectually cur
tails the tilling of the soil by the ener
getic but poor man. | mean the in
discriminate grazing Of cattle and hogs
on other than their own land, species
Of commission surely quite out of
place in a thickly settled district such
as the neighborhood within ten miles
of Wilmington. / cannot conceive a
greater embargo upon cultivation than
the necessity of erecting a costly fence,
not to restrain your own stock, out to
keep the hogs and cattle of others
off your land To fence fifty acres
will cost probably more than the price
OF the land added TO the value of all
the razor backed hogs within miles,
and yet the running at large Of one
Iank hog ObIges the cultivatOr to
erect an expensive fence around all
his titled land if he wishes himself to
gather his crop. This state Of affairs
mere IS surely now an anomaly.
Wne0 tb9 country was spafseiy
settled, your nearest neigh0or many
miles away, this interchange of graz
ing might perhaps be convenient, but
now the system of all civilized coun
trles ought to prevail tbat each man
renee has o20n stick. What is the result
OF the present system a? The man who
Guys talr-sizei property is a prey to
alI the next door small holders of
one to five acres, who choose to run
uroVes OF cattle and swine, unless be
4ncuLs enormous expense in fencing
ouI .hese animals. Is this right? Is it
no1 a lack OF common sense? Ought not
every man to be protected by the law
OF Ihe State IN the enjoyment of what
belongs to him, without the necessity
OF erecting a paisading ? To NV
thinking the time has come when tho
intelligent farmers of New Hanover
County Alliance should take the mat.
Ter up and insist upon having a stock
law. '''0N
Let ne mention one terrible result
OF this communistic system of graz.
ing Thousands OF acres of good
grass heroage, tens of thousands of
s@IoaoJe young pines, and miles OF
1"enclng are annually destroyed by the
setting of the woods on FIRE bv the
small holder. 1t matters not to him
70 whom the herbage belongs, nor
S; %non ne INJURIES, so long as a sweet
Ute Is obtained from the young grass
suoots for his hogs and calves on
o20'e other mans land. That no better
S,aSS S OF stock can be raised, nor the
or;S oro9o OF the district improved is self,
again, much bad blood is engen.
