Walking toward the country town, a
mile beyond which was the home he
once owned, he stopped to drink at a
branch that ran along the valley between
the pine hills. On the slope, a few yards
distant, was the grave of Federal SOL

way to the stockade. Looking in that
direction, he saw a white object. "a
ghost" he thought. But it moved about
with quiet briskness not peculiar to the
ghost family. I'll see what it is" he
muttered. Approaching, he noted a neat
railing around the grave. The ghost was
a woman placing flowers on it. 1T must
be a ghost, he thought; "his sisters,
maybe" She softly placed a cross Of
bright-colored blossoms, which finished

Pratt Republican: T. E. Simpson,
Of this city, is an ideal Kansas farmer.
He is probably the most extensive
individual wheat grower in western
Kansas. Last year he raised $4,000
bushels of wheat Of of about two sec
tions of land. Owing to the low price Of
this great staple last year in Kansas,
uncle Tom had the good Judgment to
withhold it from the market for a bet
ter price. He accordingly shipped it
to Kansas City where it was safely
stored away. He borrowed enough
money on the wheat, however, to ena-
bic him to put out another big crop,
and accordingly last fall he doubled
his acreage and sowed over $500 acres
in wheat alone. We understand that
the prospects are that this vast field
Of wheat will produce even a better
average yield per acre than last year.
The crop is already assured and at least
$4,000 bushels of wheat will be harvest
ed by one Pratt county farmer during
the present season. Mr.. Simpson has
been studying the wheat market pretty
closely, and he confidently believes that
the farmers of Pratt county will get
S1.00 per bushel for their wheat imme-
diately after harvest. He based his
prediction upon the scarcity Of old
wheat in the market, and upon the i'm
portant fact that not over a half crop
will be produced this year in states
outside of Kansas. There is less wheat
in the country today than there has
been for twelve years. Taking every
thing into consideration the outlook
for the Kansas farmer is good.

If the government can make a

If the government can loan money
to the banks, it can loan direct to the

If it is right to loan it to an associ-

If the government has to issue
bonds to borrow money, how can it
ever pay the bonds off in money?
If the government can make money
and is the only power that can make
money, why does it issue interest

By what authority of law, common

LETTER FROM IREDELL.

SWEET HOME ALLIANCE, No. 1859.
Mr.. EDIToR:-It is not often that
we bother you with anything from
our corner and now we come asking
just space enough for line or two.
Our Alliance is now looking forward
and we all with our shoulders to the
wheel, are moving on very rapidly in
this grand and noble work.
Sweet Home has more than doubled
the number of members during the
quarter which is now about to expire.
Have females and 25 males with
three applicants knocking at the door
for admission. At our last meeting
we initiated good brother IA years
old, who we was proud to get and
no doubt he will be the means of ad-
ding much to our order. 1t does
seem to me when an old man like him
joins the Alliance that it should be
proof enough for those that don't be-
long if they would take it, for we all
know he has seen his way through.

A CLEVER CLERK.
T. F. GUY, Sec'y,

"I knew an entry clerk" said the
Rev. W. S. Grove, in lecture before
the students of Eastman College,
"who would sit at his desk, while the
statesmen filed past him and read their
items the amounts but the items;
l41 yards of cloth at 788 cents a
yard; % l-8 pounds of lard at IL 7-8
cents per pound-reading right along
with rapid voice; and when the last
item was announced he would have
the total, and when the last salesman
announced the final item he would
have the grand total, and would put
on his hat and go home with the rest.
l asked him how he did it; if it was
gift. Not much, said he; at least
| paid very dearly for that gift;' then
he told me how he came to be a
genius. 'Once, he said, l could tell
that in group of men, or a pile of
boxes, there were three or five, with
out counting them. Now I can just
as readily tell that there are nineteen
or twenty-six or thirty-fve without
counting. have acquired this ability
by persistently counting thousands
upon thousands of groups of objects,
and associating the correct number
with the size and appearance of each
group. l learned addition in the
same way, by infinite practice, until
now l can sum up four or five
columns at time as readily and &C.
curately as one column. I learned
fractions in the same way, by cease
less perslstency and care. For many
years have dwelt in a world of
figures, till all their combinations are
as familiar to me as the keys of his
instrument to skilled pianist"

believe that there are en- nough tobacco
growers in the Alliance to control the
acreage, cause a reduction in the
number of pounds produced and thus
enhance the price. In the days of
slavery there was once such an over
production of tobacco that thousands
of pounds were hauled to the field for
manure.
If Vance, Nash, Wilson, Wayne,
Johnston, Wake and Chatham, also
portions of Edgecombe, Wilson, Pitt,
Green and Lenoir, Duplin and Samp-
son counties abandon to a large ex-
tent the cultivation of cotton and
take up that of tobacco they can pro.
duce more smokers and cutters than
the Durham Bull Company or the
Dukes together can manufacture.
Franklin, Nash, Johnston, Wake and
Chatham will no more quit tobacco to
take up cotton.
Cotton can only be raised proftably
on large, fertile farms. Hired hands
in any considerable number require
an overseer, every squad good
leader or frst-class hand. The poor
foot hills and rolling lands of the
above named counties cannot be
farmed proftably on hired labor, and
there is nothing left in the tenant or
slave system to the land-holder but
impoverished land. The negroes are
leaving these counties not because
they wish to do so, but simply be-
cause they have nothing to live on.
The landlord is unable to feed them,
and there is little for them to steal.
The result will be diversified farming,
with tobacco for money crop. All
this section producing the lighter
smoker and cutter varieties while our
old tobacco sections with their heavier
and more tenacious soils will be com
PEELED in a great measure to return to
the raising of the heavier goods, of
filters and wrappers, raise less of these
than they did many years ago, manu-,
facture by joint stock companies their
own tobacco and thus get the profits
of their labor.
Respectfully,
B. F. WHITE.

Tribune, Topeka, Kansas.
Congress keeps up a howl over
rules, and the two great (?) parties
seem TO have nothing to do, nor to
have anything at heart but to beaI
each other, while the cries of the peo,
pie for help go unheeded. Such a
state Of affairs is becoming alarming,
and the people should rise in all their
majesty and place men there who have
more people and less party at heart.

Of course it pays best to run a
paper in the interest of railroad kings,
political rings, brewries and all the
monopolistic associates and aids; be

not afraid to spend little Of it to
support their organs. Not until the
farmers and laborers realize the worth
of the papers that DARE to advocate

change for them.-Eye Opener.
A meeting Of the representatives of
the Farmers Alliance met in Topeka
last Tuesday to discuss matters con,
nected with the policy to be pursued
during the coming campaign. AT
this meeting a demand was made to
Gov. Humphrey to call an extra ses,
sion of the legislature for the passage
of the stay law. If the Governor
does not comply with their request, it
is probable his days will be mum bered,
and that A. w. Smith, of Mcpherson

perience as legislator, will be the
candidate for governOr.-PaolG Times
