CHAPTER V.

CHAPTER V.
Daylight Weakened Mr.. Vogdes out of
his feverish dream very thoroughly.
The yellow fever in a coal diggers' vii
lagc was certainly prosaic; and then he
was kept hard at work But for his
pity for the poor wretches and his nausea
at the dirt about him, he was we'll and
hearty; death never seemed further off
from him. The disease was not half so
fatal as it had been reported; physician
came down from the hills and another
from the court house; he began to sus-
pect that his expectation of self sacrifice
had been bit of mclodrama Of which
he ought to be ashamed and to feel
himself not so much ofIa hero after all.
AS to the two women to whom he had
almost committed himself the night be-
fore, it was a most damnably perplexing
affair.
1t was late the next afternoon when
he NIT DR.. Masters at the door of q
large wooden building, into which they
had removed two or three of the patients.
Zones is better
so Is that woman Moore. l think
we have it under"
YES This change in the weather is
favorable. There is the boat already"
There will be no passengers tonight"
Vogdes glanced at it down through the
twilight carelcssly, and went into the
house.
He was stopping over one of the pal
lets when DR.. Masters came in, and
touched his elbow. There was a pas
senger-a young man, who offers him
self as nurse. He asked for YOU"

and self sacrifice were admirable in II
man, Nogdcs would think them divine
in a woman. He would find that she
could stand 10y him shoulder to shoulder
anywhere on the mans ground. Why
should she not thus show him that she
loved him? Why should not a woman
be the first to say, Il love- Man and
woman stood as equals.

COL L. F.

This able and distinguished Geor-
gian came among us last week
aud fully sustained his reputation as a
bold and jealous Alliance man, for
his great ability as a logical and popu-
lar speaker. Our people were de.
lighted and charmed with him. We
greatly regret, as did he, that sickness
prevented him from meeting his three
first engagements in our State, but we
are gratifed to state that President
Polk had him to promise that he will
come again as 500 as possible. Our
people need to be con stantly admon,
ished to adhere firmly to the true
principles of the great cause which
they have espoused, and they are for.
tunate in having such men as this
able Georgian to present the truths to
them. The Alliance of North Caro-.
lima will always gladly welcome him
to our midst.

A CARD FROM ALLIANCE PRESI-
DENT POLK,

RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. Z.
EDITOR CONSTITUTION Il see that my
friend Governor Gordon is still quoting a
remark made by me in a speech in Mis-
-issippi, in regard to the Sub Treasury
bill, in support of his position on that
measure. did say that " the Sub-Treas-
ury bill sleeps the sleep that knows no
waking" because at is IN the hands of q
Congress that IS absolutely dominated By
Wall street and the corporate pOwer of the
country"
[ am more than willing that every
word l have uttered in regard to that Just
measure should be quoted by all its oppor-
ents, but simple justice demands that 1
should rot be so quoted as to misrepre-
sent my position. 1 hope Governor Cor
don WI do me the justice to quote the
above IN JUH as an expression which l
have used on many occasions, and which
l believe to be the truth I am far, uery
far, from believing that the people will
permit it to sleep. L is and will be the
6veSt issue in Anne. Icaa politics-for it
presents the question to the American
people, whether unjust and discriminating
laws, which rob honest labor of its pro-
ducts, shall be longer tolerated.
Yours truly, L L. Polk.

A NEW
Great Southern Remedy.

Having been a great sufferer, from child
hood, the result of protracted chilIs and indi-
gestiOn, terminating in diseases of LIVER,
KDNE and URINARY ORGANS, and having
tried many remedies known to the profession
with only temporary relief. After much ex-
perimentlng, l succeeded in discovering a
combination Of vegetable remedies, which
combination has proven a ! remedy for diseases
OF all the internal organs superior to any
known in a life of suffering and practice of
fifty years. AS by it 1 have been restored
from what seemed to be inevitable death to
perfect health, without any other medicine,
for those diseases over three years past. It
also enabled me to travel all the winter of
1888 and 1889, in the mountains, in all kinds
of weather, and eating any and everything set
before me with impunity. 1t has since cured
me of chills and prevented my taking "la
grippe" and relieved those of the late cpl
demic h tried ii. It is also proving vaIua-

the fact that all these gigantic trusts,

foolish farmers have come to think it
true, and now that they have acted on

HIS EXPERIENCE IN GRAPE
GROWING. &c
RALEIGH, N. @.

RALEIGH, n. O.
Mr.. j. Van Ltndley, President ~. c.
Horticultural Society:
AS requested by your Secretary, l
give below my experience in growing
grapes.
In 1885 I plante / on a gravelly top
soil with clay subsoil, four acres in
grapevlnes-2,00O Ives and 1000
Champions, they being the two earli-
est known reliable varieties. Before
planting the land was deeply and well
prepared, then furrowed out and the
vines planted in February, eight feet
apart a way. In April I planted
two rows of cotton between the
grapes (rows running the same Way
| cultivated grapes and cotton alike,
both growing we'll. In 1886 I planted
only one row of cotton between the
grapes, getting again a fine growth of
vines and cotton, using 800 pounds of
ammoniated guano to the acre both
years.
In 1887 1 planted no cotton but
gave all the land to the vines. In
February 1 sowed upon each acre 500
pounds of kainit and superphosphate
combined, and plowed the land both
ways, close and deep with one horse
plows. After that l kept the vines
clear of grass and weeds, with sweeps,
which means shGLow cultivation,
which, I think, is correct. About the
middle of May I sowed down on each
acre 500 pounds Raleigh standard
guano and cultivated it in with cotton
sweeps and discontinued cultivation.
Since 1887, (my first crop of grapes)
I have fortified and cultivated the
