individual members, maki,g SIS al
together. We hope that every ALI

= The Lenoir Topic alleges that
Bro. s. Ohio Wilson said, in a speech
at that place a few days ago, that If
he had his way he would stop every

that he did say that he would
not allo " any paper to come into his
house that was continually fighting
the Alliance and Sian iering its officers,
and that he advised all members to
to pay for such papers" It is
like buying a knife for somebody else
to cut your throat.

DRY, Catawba, Industrial Association

1t seems that there has been
some misunderstanding in regard to
the action of the State Alliance as to
covering for baled cotton. Some of
the delegates understood that Sub
could use jute or any other
bagging, and so reported when they
went home. Each Sub Alliance was
authorized to select any kind of bag
ging Except J;ute. In other words, they
are not to be confined to the use Of
bagging made of cotton, unless they
see proper to do SO. The language
of the resolution was not sufficiently
clear and the mistake of several of the
delegates vas natural. Amyth5ng ca.
jute is the watchword.
