LETTER FROM robson
COUNTY

Mr.. EDITORIALS [ have never seen
anything from Iona Sub. Alliance, l
am prompted to make known to the
order that we are still alive and reap
ing a fair share of the benefits of the
noble order. l want to remind Bro.
W. A. Graham that Iona was the
fourth Alliance organized in the State
and was one among the first to re.
spond to the call for money to estab.
lish the business agency fund.
Robson county has done well as
compared with other counties of the
State, though either Bro. Graham or
the printer, some time ago, in pub
fishing a list of Alliances that had
contributed more than 500 to the
business agency fund, left Robson
county completely out, not giving it
credit for any contribution whatever.
In Justice to the county and for the
encouragement of the Alliances more
recently organized, l would suggest
that Bro. Graham publish the
amounts contributed by each Alliance
In RoOeson county IN LIE PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER. Doubtless some of the
readers of this article will say that
this is a R~obesonian blowing Robe
sons horn" Well, l will admit that
to be so, and only say further that if
l had lungs enough I would blow the
business agency fund to not less than
500, 600, for 1 think that it is of the
most vital Importance to our financial
interest to have our business agent
fully equipped for his work.
The political excitement has not
reached a high point yet and 1 feel
safe in saying that Robson will main.
tain its equilibrium and lend it's full
strength to the men who are best
fitted to serve the majority OF the PEG.

only led or yellow wheats. These
are stronger growers and have harder
culm thaa the white wheats, and are
therefore much less liable to damage
from the fly. The varieties most near.
" fy proof are the Lancaster, Medit-
erranean, Red Chaf and Clawson.
We thus see that though the Hes
sain fly does millions of dollars worth
of damage yearly it is yet one of the
easiest pests to circumventif timely and
systematic precautions are taken. Pub
lie sentiment and even the law should
be invoked to prevent careless farm,
ers from maintaining pest nurseries
for injecting their neighbors crops.
The next paper will treat of the boil
worm and cotton caterpillar.

cheating, the third is by agriculture,
the only honest way wherein a man

Jefferson, Jackson and a host of
others taught the same doctrine. All
these old fogies taught that silver was
good for legal tender, that silver is a
good currency. Cleveland teaches
differently-so does Harrison.
The fact is, f.you want to get back
into prosperous times you must do as
you did then-eloct men whose inter
ests are identical with yours. Don't
go around and complain if you elect
others if times are no better. You
will deserve your fate. 1 shall have
no sympathy for you. You have a
man in North Carolina that has a
national reputation. 1 refer to Harry
Hinton, a regular correspondent of
the National Economist, a man whose
breadth of thought and clearness of
expression is exceeded by no man in
the State. l am sure if Harry Hinton

of the president, who, as an honorable
Christian gentleman, has studied the
cause and has at all times been able
to inform the body for it's good.
This n Alliance is, in a small way,
an example of what the united body
of Alliance men can do by putting
men of substantial character in power,
If we listen to the willy politicians our
glorious cause will be dishonored to
the dust. So let us show them that
while we pillow and plant, we think
and plan; that the veil has been lifted
from our mental vision and that we
no longer blindly follow them.
In conclusion I say again, Alliance
men, read your Alliance journals, and
let every mans watchword be zeal
for the cause"
F~raternally yours,

BRANCH FORMSA AN AID
SOCIETY.
CURRITUCK Co.. N.

OOnh1IUCh w., M "
Mr.. EDITOR:-We, the following
members of the Farmers Sub,Ali-
ance, No. 1850, at Poplar Branch,
Currituck county, N. c., being desir-
u of mutually aiding each other in
times of trouble and disaster, do most
solemnly p'edge and bind ourselves to
observe faithfully the following rules
and articles, to wit:
ARTICLE l. That upon the death of
any member of our Sub,Alliance, in
good standing, who has signed these
articles of agreement, that we will
each, within thirty days thereafter,
pay to the Secretary of our Alliance
one dollar to be paid by him to the
widow of our deceased brother and to
produce her receipt for the same at
the next meeting of our Alliance.
2. That whenever any brother,
through misfortune, or under circum-
stances over which he has no control,
loses his dwelling house or barn by
fire, or his work horse by disease or
accident, the Alliance at the next
meeting thereafter shall appoint a
committee of three whose duty it
shall be to investigate said loss of
horse or barn or house and report at
the next meeting, and upon a favor
able report of said committee, each
member who has signed these articles
of agreement shall, within thirty days,
pay to the Secretary of our Alliance
one dollar to be paid by him to the
said brother 10 losing his dwelling
house, barn or his work horse and
produce his receipt for the same at
the next meeting of the Alliance.
But if said committee should report
unfavorably to the brother Sc losing,
or if they shall find that he contributed
to his own loss by objectionable neg
ligence or other causes, then the said
brother shall not be entitled to the
benefit above provided for in this
article.
3. That should any brother who
has signed these articles meet with
any misfortune or disaster not herein
provided for, then those members Of
the Alliance who have signed the
same may take the circumstance Of
said misfortune or disaster under
consideration, and, in their own opin-
ion, may render to the brother such
| substantial aid or comfort as the cir
cumstance of the case may require
4. That should any brother, after
thirty days indulgence, neglect or re-
fuse to pay over to the Secretary the
said amount of one dollar, the Secre-
tary shall report the same to the next
meeting of the Alliance, and the name
of the brother so offending shall be
expunged from these articles and bis
membership in the same cancelled.
The brother may, however, be rein
stated upon the payment of his dues.
5. The Secretary shall keep an &C
count Of proceedings under these
articles in a book separate from other
matters of the Alliance.

A NOTE FROM robson.

BACK SWAMP ALLIANCE, No. IL.
Mr.. EDITORIALS you have not
heard anything from the Back Swamp
Alliance in regard to the Sub.Ireas-
ury bill, you perhaps may think
Alliance dead but in this you are mis-
taken. We are here and come to stay
and don't forget it. She is on a
boom. We are adding new members
every meeting. Even the Old f0giSS
are coming in. We generally %
slow but we'll get there just the same.
We have been hearing and thinking
a good while on the Sub-TreaSury
bill and business agency fund but OIL
the 9th inst. the pups eyes were
opened for on that day brother WI,
son was at Lumberton and addreSSGu
us on these two all important SUI,
iects. All who heard him %eLo
pleased and heartily concur Wild nun
in all that he said. He IS certainly
the right MAI in the right place.

CONCERNING PUBLIC WEIGH
ERS.
BRODIE, n. @.

BRoDIE, N. @.
Mr.. ED1roR:--Will you please pub
lish the following from Jones Springs
Alliance, No. 6O7?
Jones Springs Alliance, in regular
meeting assembled, begs Of the
County Alliance to petition the State
Alliance to ask the Legislature of
North Carolina to pass a law to have
a public weigher at every tobacco
warehouse III the State, and also one
in every town where cotton is sold,
said weigher to be a bonded and
sworn d-isinterested man. We, the
farmers, are the men who have to
pay for all weighing and we honestly
ask to be allowed to have a word in
saying how and by whom our produce
shall be weighed. If it is now hon.
estly done, nobody will object to our
petition. Respectfully,
JOHN B. W. JONES, Sec'y.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-05-27
FROM ALLIANCE NO.
1000.

Mr.. EDIToR:-If you will allow me
a little space in your valuable paper l
will give the brethren an idea as to
what Enterprise Alliance, No. 1000, is
doing. We have 81 members, male
and female. The very cream of the
neighborhood. Its true we have some
weakened members but it's owing to
the fact that they do not read The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER. l do not think
a member of the Alliance can be
weakened who reads our organ. 1t
furnishes food for the mind and rich
at that, just such as every farmer and
laboring man needs. 1t will do any
one good to read it except bankers,
monopolists and old politicians. l
rejoice to see the toiling masses wax
ing up to their interests. 1t means
something. 1t means that this is a
government for the people and by the
people. Enterprise Alliance is in full
sympathy with all the Alliance move
ments. We do not expect perfec,
ton in all the Alliance does, but we
are confident that our noble leaders
will not stop short of giving us the
best that can be had.
l would insist on every Sub-AIIi,
ance to urge it. upon their members
to subscribe for the Alliance organ, it
is the mouth-piece of our organization
and the band that holds us together.
Stop the press and you kill the Farm
ers' Alliance so far as good results
are concerned. Brethren, we have
not began to look after our interests
any too soon, for if our government
continues to run in the interest of the
few to the detriment of the many. our
freedom as an American people is only
a question of time. Soon we will
have the privilege of saying who shall
represent us in Congress and our
State Legislature. [ think l hear the
cry going up from every Alliance
man and labor union, farmers shall
represent us. Why should we as
Alliance men return men to Congress
to represent US who have been there
as representatives and have done
nothing in the interest of the farmer
and laboring men, and now in the
eleventh hour jump up and say 1 am
for the dear farmer and laboring men,
They are wolves in sleeps clothing.
Does a man deserve any credit for a
thing that he does through fear q?
think not. Are they the men we are
looking for? I think not. We have
seen, brethren, what can be done by
cooperation as to fertilizer. iute ba0.
ging, etc. We car dc. greater things
by cooperation at the baIlot-box,
Fraternally,
D. @. ADER.
