The Farmers Alliance.

The chiefs of this organization, in
reply to request of the Herald for
information, report theirpresent mem-
bership at two millions, scattered
through twepty-three States and sew
eral Territories. They accept as mem-
bers women and youths over sixteen,
and it is supposed that they haye
somewhat over million of voters.
Their membership is strongest in
the West, South and Southwest, aud
the order is most numerous in the
Following States: Missouri, two hum
dred and fifty thousand Texas, three
hundred thousand +; Georgia, one hum
dred and fifty thousand North Car
olina, one hnndred thousand Ten
nesee, one hundred and twenty-five
thousand. The order is growing fast
in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and other
Western States, and is attracting at
tention in New York, Pennsylvania
and the New England States, as is
shown by numerous inquiries. and
the work of organization is beginning
in these and other States.
1t is a secret order and it does not
intend to ego into politics, in the
way of forming a separate party but
we judge the disposition in the order
is to support for Office only candi-
dates who adopt their policies. Ar
ticle of their constitution describes
the persons eligible to membership in
these words:
No person shall be admitted as q
member of this order, except white
person, over sixteen years of age, who
is a believer in the existence of
Supreme Being and has resided in the
State more than six months and is
either-first, a farmer or farm la
borer; second, mechanic, county
preacher, country school teacher or
country doctor third, an editor Of
a strictly agricultural paper. Pro-
vided that each State and Territory
shall have the right to prescribe the
eligibility Of applicants for member
ship in reference to color within the
limits of the same. Provided fur
ther that none but white men shall be
elected as delegates to the Supreme
Council.
At the last annual meeting of the
order held in st. Louis in December,
delegations were present from Alaba-
ma, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, the
Indian Territory, Indiana. Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Missouri, Maryland, North Carolina,
Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennes-
see and Virginia.-.N Y. Herald.

There the stock has to brave the

| The lands on the Albemarle and
Pamlico sounds are lst the thing
to make first class mixed stock and
truck farms. But [ do not advocate
anyone coming here without sufficient
capital to dram the land, buy some
good stock and pay cash for his
farm.
1t is no use coming here to farm as
the people do here at present 1t
cannot pay any man to farm on such
land as this unless he keeps stock to
make farm yard manure.
He may go on new land for a
time, but that too must yield to
the constant drain on it's resources.
My theory is that if it pays to farm
in the old country, where the rent is
more than the land can be bought for
here, and the climate is not to be com
pared with this. then [ say it will pay
here where all the advantages are in his
favor.
Any stranger coming here will find
he has landed in new, old country,
where he can have all the advantages
of sociable civilized life. where he
will meet kindly people willing to
take him by the hand and treat him
as brother.

advantages that Eastern N. c. offers to

friends. but also it may tend to help
the people already here.

It has now been nearly FIVE years

sihle to give general description
for the benefit Of intending settlers,
aud also III show the many advantages
this splendid country afiords-over
many more highly criea-up States.
My object is not to misIead people.
as has often been the case where
large money interests have been at
stake. but TO give a true and honest
description for the benefit of those
that may be looking for home or
trying 10 better their condition in
life. Although this is one of the oldest,
If not the oldest State in the Union.
Still that great stream OF emmigra-
ton la. not yet overlooked or plan
ted itself on it's shores. The land
has been mostly g anted out in small
tracts, or at least is now divided up
into small farms owned principally
by poor class of people who have
no money to improve or farm their
lands to advantage.
The large fine plantations of before
the war are now also cut up in small
divisions and sold and where that ID

to settle on and make them the finest

along the Alhemarle and Pamlico
sounds. The lands are generally

like to compare those fine farms ly-

He does this by hard work, proper
