The State Chronicle.

Everybody in North Carolina knows the charac-
ter of the State Chronicle, publisbed at Raleigh. 1t
has always been a ~progressi re, independent news
paper since its establishment seven years age by
Mr. Walter H. Page. After wards, under the
editorship of the lamented Capt. Randolph A, Shot
well. it had no superior as a bold, fearless, honest
Democratic weekly. For more than four years
now it has been under the management of Mr..
Josephus Daniels, who has gathered around it the
best talent in the State. Its circulation has grown
rapidly until it now has the largest circulation ever
attained by any political paper IN Raleigh. It has
gained that circulation:
1. By plain truth telling.
2. By printing the news and all the news.
3. By having convictions and expressing them
without fear or favor.
4 By an earnest and aggressive championship Of
Democratic principles
5. By standing by the rights of the people against
any powers or corporations.
Recently the paper has been improved and gives
its subscribers more matter every week than ever
before: In order to place it in every family in the
State the subscription price has been reduced to
$1.25 per year. The management Of the paper
expects to add 5000 new subscribers during the
present year.

denominations and political parties,
but when we meet at the Alliance we
are one band; that their business
agent, Bro. A. P. Clark, is prompt In
doing all business for the order and
has positively refused any pay several
times, and is a true Alliance man in
every respect"
At q recent meeting of Marble
Alliance, No. 1893, a resolution OF
thanks was passed in favor of Senator
Vance for his efforts in behalf of the
farmers, and the members pledged
themselves not to vote for any candi-
date who is opposed to the measures
proposed by the Alliance,
Bro. W. B. Harper, of Dortches
Alliance, No. I'll, Nash county,
writes that they have & membership
of ~ and have contributed $l35 to
the business agency fund. They have
built a good hall with school room on
the first floor; have bought some gro
ceries through the agency and are
satisfied as to quality and prices"
BRO. J. S. Little, of jenkins Cross
Roads Alliance, No. 4l6, writes that
three or four Alliances responded to
his call for help on account of the loss
of his chair factory byfre. He thanks
those who have contributed and asks
that more be given as he sustained
quite a severe loss. If each Alliance
will take SO cents from their treasury
and send it to him at Zoar, n. O., it
will never be missed and will help him
greatly.
BRO. Amos Robinson, of Cross
Roads Alliance, No. 1858, sends a
plan to build a rat proof corn crib.
He says: "Saw blocks 26 inches in
length and s or 10 inches in diameter,
put a sheet of zinc around the top Of
each block about IL inches wide and
build on the blocks" He has been
using a house built this way for more
than two years, in it were stored corn,
peas, wheat and oats, and he has never
yet seen a rat in it.
Bro. G. W. Williams, Secretary
of Currituck County Alliance, sends
US a good report of tie proceedings
of their county meeting, but we can
only find room for a few extracts.
Bro. W. H. Snowden was elected
Treasurer to fill a vacancy in hat
office. Each Sub-Alliance was re
quested to send a petition to Congress
requesting the passage of the Sub
Treasury bill. j. R Bell was elected
crop statistician for the county. The
action of the Alliance meeting at
Elizabeth City, held on the 18th of
February, 1890, was endorsed. The
proposition of the Falcon to publish
their proceedings was accepted and a
vote of thanks given for the same.
