The above figures show how de
structive this storm must have been.
Some idea of the frightful violence of
the storm may be conceived when we
tell you that the stalks of the tobacco
as large as ones wrist were split and
Splintered by the hailStOneS as badly
as if the field in which they grew had
been the scene of a bloody battle.
There is in the State no section more
entitled to the kindly offices of the Al
lance than this section about which
we write. If it be true that we have
organized ourselves into a body OF
brethren to help each other in carry
ing life'S burdens and assisting each
other in times of calamity and atfiic-
ton: If it be true that our vows com
pei us t. lend a listening al and a vii
ling heart to the diStreSses of our
brethren, then in the emergency in
which u HayesVille brethren find
themselves it becomes our duty to go
to their assistance. 1t IS a serious and
irreparable thing for the ordinary
farmer in North Carolina to lose a
whole crop. 1t means in the majority
of cases restitution and poverty and
absolute want. The section Of country
named is no exception.
We appeal to the Subordinate ALI
ances in North Carolina to each raise a
small sum to help reimburse in part
the brethren whose names are given,
1t means very little to each Alliance
to give its pro rata share, but the total
would relieve a fearful amount of SUI
fering and put on their feet again sew
eral brethren who, without such aid,
must necessarily gOtO the wall.
All amounts can be forwarded to
Bro. @. G.. Gill, Louisburg, N. c., one
of the committee, a member of the leg
islature and the President of Piney
Grove Alliance. He will distribute it
pro rata among the sufferers.
Brethren we appeal to you to come
to the aid of these brethren who need
your assistance, and so prove to the
world that the Alliance has a high and
holy mission in life.
Very respectfully,

LETTER FROM FREMONT.

Mr.. EDIIOR:-Soeing nothing from
this Alliance in so long. | thought [
would pen a few lines concerning it.
Our Alliance, in the first period of its
existence, made rapid strides in the in
crease of its membership. but as there
is always chatf in wheat in course of
time the Chaf has been divided from
the wheat and nov we have an earnest,
determined and reSOlute set of mem
bers. We believe the great sun of re-
form has arisen and we pray that that
sun may never set nor fail to shine
with its respondent rays Of education
until Jul present system of finance is
abolished; until the Sub treasury or
something better is established; until
every hard-wOrking man may have an
equal right and a fair chance with all
men in the body polite; until he who
feeds the world, clothes every human
being, who is the only moving vital
impetus to all the worlds great indus
tries and machinery, may be amply re
paid and rewarded for all of his tolls
and hardships. May that orb continue
to illuminate until happiness and pros
perlty relgnS supreme, and this may
truly be a home of the brave and a
land of the free" We believe the re-
form press of this country, especially
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and National
Economist, are doing a mighty work
of education among the farmers. y
dim light in a dark place shows the
traveller the way many times. May
these papers continue to be as bright
stars bursting out from behind dark
and gloomy clouds ever showing us the
way out of slavery and serfdom, out of
blind partyism and corrupt politics;
out of ignorance, dissipation and degra-
datiOn.
We have just received the group pic
ture and think it a grand specimen of
art, and wish it could hang in the
house of every farmer in the land.
Truly yours,
~ II C,yrTT1

GOOD ONE ON SENATOR GEORGE

Both the old political parties continue
to fight and malign the Alliance in one
breath, and in the next beg members
of the organization to stand by the old
parties. Many people are beginning
to think that when the interest of the
great masses are at stake the leaders
IN both the political parties are a unit
against them, How close they run to-
gether sometimes may be shown by a
successful practical joke which is edi-
torially reported by the Southern Mer-
cluy as follows:
Some Republican sent Senator
George circulars headed The In
famous Tariff Law, with a x opposite
300 items, from which the senator pre-
pared a two hours speech, giving the
Republicans fits for their Wholesale
robbery. For six weeks he delivered
it over twO-thirds of the state of Miss
issippi, until his Alliance competitor
exposed the joke by showing that the
circular, except the heading, was a
true copy Of the Mills(D emocrat) tariff
bill"
