President and each of the Penitentiary
Directors is $500 per annum.
So far as we could see there are no
persons appointed by the Governor
wlo now hold more than position
Of profit on the list. All the mem,
hers of the legislature and Senate
who have been appointed have re,
signed. Tneir designations are In the
Governors Office. Some of the names
appearing in the list of the Board OF
Trustees Of the A. & M. College are
or have been members of the legisla
ture. The names of Mr.. W. R. Viii,
liams, A. Leazar, Esq and Col. w.
R. Wharton and perhaps others ap-
pear on both the State Board of Agri-
culture and Trustees of the A. & M.
College. But these r elected by the
legislature and the question has. been
raised whether or not a Trustee of
the A. & M. College would be consid,
cred a position of profit, as is under
stood that the Trustees are only paid
expenses and do not receive any
salary. Il
The Board of Trustees of the State
University are elected by the legisfa-
ture. The list Of names is so long that
we hardly think it necessary to pub
lish the entire list from the fac that
it is not a position of profit.
State Treasurer, Hon. William L.
Sanders, is Secretary and Treasurer
of the Trustees. Hon. J. {. Scar
borough, Commits ioner of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, is one OF the
Trustees. We also find the names Of
Hon. S. M, Finger, Superintendent of
Public instruction, Judge A. G..
Avery, L.. S. Overman, G. B. AycJck,
Lieutenant Governor Col. T. M. Hot.
A. Leazar, Esq, and other gentlemen
who are either State officers, memb- rs
of the Board of Agriculture, or of
the Trustees of the A. & M. College.
But as the Trustees Of the University
are only entitled to expenses going
and coming and expense Of board
while on business for the University,
their position cannot be n Of profit.
Hence we only mention a few names.
We have not been able to find any
holding two places of profit
thouh a number hold places as trus-
tees and members of the different
boards.
The names are before you and we
will be glad for anybody to inform us
by letter or otherwise if they find that
we have overlooked any persons who
may hold two or more positions of
profit in the State. We will prompt.
ly investigate the matter and if they
were appointed by the Governor or
elected by the Legislature Or any other
authority, we prAmise that proper at
tention shall be given promptly.

THE ALLIANCE RALLY.

THE Alliance Rally at Greensboro
i on the oath and 25th of July,
promises to be one of the grandest
events in the history of our order in
this State. Many prominent speakers
from this and other States will be
present. The railroads will give very
low rates 50 that people can come
from a distance at comparatively a
small expense.
Dr.. W. @. Benbow, of Greensboro,
writes that Guilford County Alliance
has appointed one man on the COM
mittee for the Alliance rally from
each Sub Alliance in the county. A
central committee consisting of the
following gentlemen has been ap,
pointed: w. II. Snow, J.. Van Lind
ley and DR.. w. G. Benbow. The
Board of Trade of Greensboro has
appointed a committee of three to
render any aid to the central commit,
tee that is necessary. Everything
possible will be done to make it what
1t should be. 1t is likely that it will
De the largest gathering of farmers
ever held in this State and it is to be
hoped that it will be a profitable one.
The State Executive Committee are
earnestly requested to aid all they
can The matter should be discussed
In every Subordinate and County Al,
lance at all meetings between now
and the date of the rally. Let's have
a grand time.

HOW IS THIS

THE Atlanta correspondent of the
i Columbus Sun, in a letter to that
paper bearing date of the 18th inst.
IN reference to the candidacy Of M.
Hardeman against Bro. w. J. Nor
then for Governor, says: at mah S
the issue Democ acy and the Alliance.
and he (H.rdeman) as the man Of all
men to Vin on lint ISSUE"
Is it possible that this correspon.
dent in this declaration voices the sen
timent or feeling of any respectable
number Of Georgia Democrats? Is it
true that Mr.. Hardeman and his ad.
1eren.s are to array themselves under
q party flag as Democrats and will
fight Nh. Northen and his 80, 900
Alliance brethren-all Damocrats-as
enemies? Will that party declare
war on the Alliance ? OF whom is
that party largely composed in Geor.
gia? Are they not Alliance men ?
We notice that leading papers of both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties and some OF the so called leaders
are doing all in their power to place
these parties in antagonism to their
Alliance members. But is it true
that this policy has any respectable
following in either of the parties ?
"The issue in Georgia is Democ-
racy and the Alliance - Does Mr..
Northen and his friends so understand
it? Have self-constituted leaders
gone mad7 We shall see.

NOTES.

~ It is thought that the State ALI
ance will be organized in Pennsylvania
in a few weeks.
* We have good authority for
saying that the rumor that Senator
Vance would oppose the Sub-Treasury
plan is untrue. He makes an en-
phatic denial,
- One Of our State exchanges says
that Col. Rowlrnd drew the order for
an addition of $3.50, 900 for the lefty
by the sea a few days ago. The
Colonel no doubt is trying to get
thoroughly solid with the people of
that end of his district. That is all
right. But we would like to hear of

( SERVANTS.

Nj SSRS. Carlisle, Oates, Berry,
NJ Culbertson, Hooker, Mills, Her
bert, Reagan and Cooke all say they
are opposed to the Sub Treasury bill.
Gentlemen, please stand up. The
people whose public servants you are
and whose bestinterests you promise
to serve, desire to ask you some ques
lions:
Do you admit that the great agri
cultural interests of this country are
suffering from unjust and diScrimi
mating legislature a.?
All with one voice-"Yes, we free,
ly admit it."
Do you not know that some meas.
ure for their relief should be enacted
by Congress ?
All with one voice-"Yes we all
know it."
You say the Sub Treasury bill will
not give us the relief that is so greatly
needed, will you tell us what you have
proposed as a substitute for that bill ?
All with one voice" Nothing"
Then the people became wrathy and
lifted up their united voice which was
as the sound Of mighty waters, and
said: Woe unto you, unfajtbful and
full of false promises, we, the people,
will visit our wrath upon you at the
ballot, box for this wicked thing thou
hast done.

Butler County Wells,

BUTLER-The Black & Haslett well at Gallery,
on the Dunbar farm, which was shot yesterday,
has been overestimated. The well has been
flowing salt water and oil together and to esti-
mate its production is only guess work. The
venture, however, is showing for good we'll

caliber can be more fully determined. The

are starting well in the northern part of the
town.
Hartman & Company's we'll on the Byerly
heirs farm, one mile north of jefferson Center
is producing 100 barrels a day. This strike
gives rise to the belief that another pool su ch
as was found at the Center, may be developed

the striking of the fourth sand well on the

good results. Reed & Co. shot their well on
the Braden farm to-day with 80 quarts, and
the hole filled up with oil Several days ago
this well was believed to be dry. Clara & Co. IS

Excitement Runs High,

WELLsvILLE, O.-Excitement has been very
high among the West Virginia farmers since
oil was struck by the Advance Oil Company.
Seven wells have already been located by this
company. and they will proceed to develop
their territory at once In addition to the land
already leased they have secured the farms of
W. s. johnson. d. Hamilton and NJ. Anderson.
Some of the more sanguine farmers have signi-
fled their intention of developing their own ter
ritory. The first test well has been pumped
with sand pump, but the height of the oil has
shown no diminution. 1t is said by experts
that the quality of the oil is superior to that of
the Turkey foot and Hookstown fields.

The aches and pains she had in almost every
part of her body were simply unbearable. I'm
mediately after eating, her stomach would be
seized with terrible pain and cramps, which
food, and the gas that formed would cause her
stomach to swell as if it would burst. In fact
all kinds of food except milk would cause pain.
She had pain over her eyes, dizziness and
noises in her ears. Her mouth would have a
bitter, disagreeable taste every morning. She
had pain in both sides and across the small
of her back. and in the night if she lay on her
left side she would be seized with the most ex-
cruciating pain, and her heart would palpitate
as IL 1t would jump out of her body.
Night sweats weakened her fast, and she had
a constant tired feeling. but more tired in the
this condition she consulted the above special
lists, whose reputation for making permanent
cures has long since become thoroughly estab-
lished. She says of the matter:
although had doctored with several ply
sicians and with patent medicines, got NO re-
lief, but gradually grew worse. In fact my
neighbors and even I myself thought 1 could
only live few months. Reading in the papers
how Mrs. Bratt had been cured of terrible
cramps and pains by the catarrh specialists
of treatment and now gladly testify to my
complete cure OF all my aches and pains as
above described. l cheerfully recommend
