A Farmers Opinion of Polk.

The following letter is from prom
inent farmer and member of the Ali
ance in Yadkin county. 1t reveals
some facts which The SENTINEL was
not aware of, aud we now agree with
him that Kunnel Polk will bear close
watching. Here is the letter:
Il see in your lost issue that you
think Col. Polk is in no wise a candi-
date for the Senate. You are way off
there, sure. l know he is, for l got
the information from one of the lead
ing Alliancemen of this county. That
is one reason why Vestal defeated
Reaves SO badly. Reaves was for
Vance, and Ves,al, though Rad had
promised to vote for Polk against
Vance, and he (Polk) is doing every
thing he can through his paper to
push his claims. He may see before
the legislature meets that he will not
be able to defeat Vance, and not allow
his name to be used; but he is, up to
this time, candidate.
"You don't know Polk as we'll as
l do. He told me some years ago
\"hiiO hO was iuAhihS his paper III
WinstOn) that he intended getting his
paper to be the organ of the Farmers
Alliance, and make a good thing out
of it.
"Polk is for self and all the money
he can make. His great love and
sympathy for the farmers don't run
back but a few years, and was only
borrowed when he failed at every
thing else. There is nothing deep
about him, yet he is shrewd and
sharp. What was his object in stating
In Atlanta, Ga, that the Farmers
Alliance was trying mighty hard to
stay in the Democratic party? Who
was trying to push them out? Their
wrongs are the same as the Demo
Gratis and their platforms are about
the same. Both are fighting for a
revenue sufficient to run the expenses
of the general government on a safe
basis, etc. You watch and see what l..
l.. Polk will do, and see if he don't
do everything he can to pull Vance

Preserve the courtesy of the beginning

The Kind Of butter rha. I. wanted.

II you study the market and learn
what kind of butter is wanted now, you
will find there has been change. There
is not much demand for butter that will
keep, but for butter that is high favored
and also milk flavored-a butter that has
no taste of buttermilk. They demand a
butter that has very nearly the same
taste as cream. The whole tendency is
toward getting butter more nearly like
cream. getting butter that is very nearly
the same as fresh cream. We have al
most reached the point where public
taste demands butter made from sweet
cream. = Professor Cooke before Yer
