PERSON COUNTY RESOLUTIONS

Mr.. EDITOR:-The County Alliance
of Person county met in Roxboro on
October the 10th, 1890. The follow,
ing resolutions from Concord ALI
ance, No. 1913, were read and adopted
to wit:
WHEREAS, This Alliance still firmly
believes that all trusts, monOpolies and
combines are enemies Of the people
and especially of the armer and pro
ducer, and as there seems to be no eX-
cuse for the combination on cutters
that so seriously affects the interest OF
the tobacco regions of North Carolina
and Virginia; therefore
Resotved, That we will still make a
determined and constant Effort TO
break SAID trust, and that We pledge
ourselves to make any sacrifice to &C
eouplish this end and will unite hearth
Iy and co operate with the County Al
hance and Sub.Alliances in this
county in defeating the aims and OBJ
iects Of said combination, remember
ing that by united action the Alliance
has conquered the jute bagging trust
and that if necessary IN this struggle
for u rights and justice WE will re
turn to the productive methods of our
fathers and mothers and produce only
the necessaries of life at home and
will withhold from those who Cypress
us any surplus we may have for their
support.
Resoived, That we respectfully and
earnestly request that the County and
Sub Alliances throughout the tobacco
section continually take notice of this
combination and in their unqualified
disapproval of its action and denounce
it in such terms as will bring censure
and reproach upon those in such com
bination, and we will make them
understand that we will wage N eter-
nal war on any combination or trust
that effects u interests

preserving them from insec s and
causes of damage. Bunches desired
for exhibition purposes should be
bagged at once.
OF all the vegetables which furnish
nourishment to man the banana is the
most prolific. A single cluster often
contains $50 to 1870 pods, and weighs
from ky to eighty pounds. Hum
boldt says that a piece of land l2O
square yards will produce 1000
pounds weight Of fruit.
1t is just as we'll to shorten the ends
of grape shoots which are bearing
fruit at aoout the second OF third leaf
above the bunch. But care must be
taken not to cut away too much
foliage, which many are apt to do who
leave the work so late that it takes
away so many leaves.
Cabbage plants from fall sown seeds
are thought to give earlier heads than
those from spring sown. Sow the
seeds toward the close OF September,
and winter the plants in a cold frame.
These plants can be set out earlier, and
they are not checked by cold weather
afterwards, as often happens to plants.

THE VALUE OF COTTON SEED.

The surplus cotton seed from the

were used alone az a fertilizer on the

To a limited extent they were then
fed to stock without crushing. The
next and greatest advance was in sep,

pressing the oil. The oil cake when

CALVIN S. BRIcE has been elected to the
Senate Of the United States from Ohio.
It is alleged that he gained the victory
by bribery. These charges came chiefly
from the scurrilous sheet over whose dis
reputable and dishonored columns Murat
Halstead presides From the same source
came the vulgar charges Of stupid for
gerry against Governor Campbell, which
elected him and made Democratic SEN
ator possible. There are great possibilities
Of fraud and bribery in the state where
Foraker. the frenzied, and Halsted, the
hysteric. have been holding politi-
cal sway. Politics in Ohio,
which has been steadily Republican for
thirty years, are at the lowest ebo posi-
BILE Ohio is the state which produced
Hayes and Keifer; even President Ha Y
rison was born and educated there. Ohio
produced the mob which destroyed the
court house. jail and public buildings
and killed and wounded hundreds Of peo-
pie in Cincinnati because Of political cor
ruption. Il ranks with Pennsylvania and
Indiana for producing more and worse
politicians and for engaging in more cor
rupt practices than all the other states in
the Union put together. It would not be
strange If Mr. Brice had gained
the Office Of Senator by bribery be-
cause the Republic can party has made
bribery in Ohio and Indiana not only re-
spectacle, but commendable. But there
must be better evidence of bribery in
this case than Editor Halsteads asser
tions. The man who could unite with
Foraker to publish that ballot-box con
tract forgery to blacken the characters Of
friend and foe with indiscriminate malice
is not to be trusted There must be some
better evidence Of bribery.

hundred are never repaired until Fall,
when the ditch mud is thrown out, to
make the roads a bed of mire after every
rain. They also wear full Of holes,
making them very unpleasant to ride
over, not to mention the danger Of break

was 80 bad and had so many holes In II
that a farmer who lives on farm adjoin-
ing the road, took his team and men and
repaired it. filing up the holes All this
he did at his own expense. This should
surely humiliate the road commissioners
of that hundred If they had much driv-
ing over some of these roads or would
take the trouble to 60 over them they
would surely conclude to put
them in a little better re-

TO State Road station is said to be almost
impossible Such should not be the case,
however, as enough taxes are collected TO
keep them in better repairs. II is to be
