AN ALLIANCE BROTHER TELLS
OF SOME THINGS HE SAW
AND HEARD IN
THE EAST.

Mr.. EDTToR:-A trip from the capt.
tol through Johnston, Harnett and
Cumberland counties shows fine crop
prospects and the farmers are work
ing in anticipation of future reward
The county business agency OF
Harnett has done an immense 0usl-
ness and to the entire satisfaction OF
the brotherhood.
A nights rest at hospitable ITO
kay," the home of our brother Hon.
Wharton j. Green, in talking over
the cause we spouse in which he fully
concurs, was invigorating, and old
Cumberland will be found in line IN
carrying out the principles Of our
order. Brother Green expresses
himself as much grati6ed at the sue
cess of the Agricultural and Mechanl-
cal College.
By the way, he was on the commit
tee that framed and reported the
Hatch bill, giving the States $4,000
per annum for the support of agricul-
turaI experiments, as well as that pro
noting the Commissioner of Agricul
ture to that of a Cabinet officer. AS
a member of the agricultural commit
tee Col. Green did yeoman service,
and when he retired from Congress,
Chairman Hatch in a personal letter
to him, regretted the loss of his ser.
vices on the committee of which he
had been one of its most faithful
members.
Tokay is the embodiment Of bust
ness, convenience, elegance and refine
ment, and it's prosperity is based on
an industry that promises to add more
to the wealth and prosperity Of North
Carolina ag,iculture than any new in
dustry in the knowledge of the
writer. Look which way you may
vines, laden with clusters of rich and
delicious grapes, and l venture the
assertion and know whereof | speak
when | say that n acre Of grapes,
with the same care and attention will
give more profit than ten acres OF
cotton.
Col. Green has consented to deliver
an essay at the meeting of the State
Horticultural Society on "Wine
Grapes and Wine" which will be both
instructive and profitable. AL honor
to the men who, through years OF toll
and study, having succeeded in a

public that they, too, may reap its re,

WORK TO DO.

The Solid South of Conyers, Ca, in
speaking of the work of the Farmers
Alliance, justly says:
The Farmers Alliance has a mighty
work before it, and if this work is not
accomplished, if this task is not per-
formed, then the Alliance will have
fallen very short of the purposes of
its organization. The organization is
not alone for the purpose of making
farm life more social and pleasant; not
solely for the purpose of lettering the
financial condition of the farmersTbut
1t reaches out further and takes in a
broader latitude. 1t is not onlv a
great educator but is destined to he
the great reform of the nineteenth
century.
The Alliance of Georgia has already
saved the farming class millions Of

HON. B. H. CLOVER, PRESIDENT
OF THE KANSAS STATE
FARMERS ALL
ANCE.

Vice, President of the National +.
A. and L. u, President Of the Kansas
State Alliance, and President Of the
Cowley County Alliance, is a rugged,
joViaI and plain spoken a He was
born in Franklin county, Ohio, and
resided there until he was 25 years of
age. To use his own statement, he
"was born in the panic year, and his
career has had more or less of the
panic attachment ever since"
His parents were humble and con
sistent members of the Methodist
church, and he is somewhat of a
Methodist himself, but admits that he
is not working much at it now. He
was married at the age of 81 and re-
sided a few years near the old home
stead, then joined the march of en-
pire and wendell his way to Douglas
county, Illinois. He fought the biz
yards and waded the mud of that
State, and though having the soil very
much attached to hin, was so slightly
attached to the soil that after the lapse
of FIVE years he removed to Kansas.
He was among the earliest settlers in
Windsor township, on Grouse creek,
and has been all this time engaged in
farming, stockraising and paying in
terest.
A year or two ago Mr. Clover per,
sonally felt the depressing influence
of the legislation Of his party and his
attention once called to it, he investi-
gated and then bodily cast off the yoke
of partisan prejudice and proclaimed
himself not only a free man but ready
to take up arms against the monster
money power" and do battle for his
suffering fellow men. He was among
the first in his State to join the ALI
ance movement, and has assisted to
organize hundreds of Sub Alliances.
That his worth and ability has been
recognized is proven by the honorable
position he occupies, as Vice-Presi
dent of the national organization,
President of the State Alliance and
President of the County Alliance.
