ALLIANCEMEN TO THE RESCUE

ALLIANCEMEN TO THE RESCUE.
AS already announced i'll these col
umns, meeting of Alliancemen from
all the tobacco counties of North
Carolina-or what is known as the
Bright Belt-will be held in Oxford
next Thursday, January 9th, for the
purpose of considering the matter of
what is known as the 'scutter trust"
or combine of cigarette manufacturers
to sontrol the price of that grade of to-
bacco. 1t is expected that there will
be large attendance, and certainly
the exigencies of the occasion demand
that there should. Something should
be done and that without delay. Let
the. Ubiquitous combine be busted.
Surely five indiv iduals or corporations
should not get together and dictate
the price of an article where the inter
cts of thousands and hundreds of thous-
ands of people are to be affected.
Let the farmers get together and de-
wise the means for frustrating such an
unwholly scheme. But let them re-
member that wise conservative action
Is called for. Let wisdom and discre-
ton prevail By their action next
week they are to stand or fall perhaps.
The GOLD LEAF would impress upon
the delegates then the importance of
taking no rash or unsafe step. We do
not believe in such extreme measures
as have been urged by some cores
pondents, and such as are advised by
resolutions adopted by few of the
local Alliances. The farmers do not
want to put themselves outside the pale
of the law and public sympathy.
We look with anxiety to the work
of the meeting in Oxford and shall
with interest watch the final outcome
of its deliberations. The GOLD LEAF
IS with the farmers in their battle for
the right.

The South has met with serious
loss in the death of Henry w. Grady,

erner in every sense of the word, as
eloquent as he was pronounced in his
views, and while with recent expert

pute his defense Of prohibition and
protection, no one ever suspected him
of advocating anything he did not be-

M. E. Finn, Secretary of the California
League, is 80 years of age. BE came TO this
city while mere youth, and when in his
fifteenth year played with the cham pion
amateur Imperials as catcher and general
player. In 1873 he was the catcher for the
Company b Club in the Military League,
which played at the Recreation Grounds.
When Mr. Morris Nantes were formed
Mr.. Finn was selected as catcher and caught
Charley Sweeney and Billy Incell until the
former went East. Finn then became
pitcher and was in the box for the club
until it disbanded. In 1885 he organized,
managed and pitched for the Pioneers. and
took an active part in the game until the
close of the season of 1887 In the winter of
1888 he disposed of the Pioneers franchise
to Messrs. ellis e. George of Sacramento
but retained his interest in the Haight-
street Ground Association. When Manager
Harris took charge of the demoralized
StOcktons last year Mr.. Finn bought up the
San Francisco nine and managed it with
such success that he came within one game
of winning the championship. Believing
the public was DESTROYS of seeing new
faces on the diamond this year, he signed
number of Eastern players, who have made
good records for themselves thus far. Mr..
Finn, in addition to his baseball business,
is a contractor, and as such is rapidly accu-
mulating a fortune. His recent numerous
investments in real estate attest his pros
perity.
