WOMAN AND HER INFLUENCE.

A brother of Cary Alliance made the
following speech in our Alliance recent
ly. Subject: "Woman and her In
fuence for Good"
Mr.. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN I
will not detain you long. 1t shall be a
short talk, and to the poiut. And I
hope no one will think me presumptu-
GUS in trying to talk a little occasion
ally in our meetings, for I'll assure
you it is not my intention to present
you an epicurean feast of elOquence, or
to display any of my rhetoric, but
merely to vary the entertainment, and
render our proceedings not quite so
monotonous. My subject tonight is,
Woman and her influence for good
1t is an old, old subject; a subject that
commenced away back yonder, imme-
diately after the creation of man, and
ever since then silver-tOngued orators
have heralded her praises, and she has
been immOrtalized by the SCULPTOR and
the painter, and in song by the poet.
l can almost hear some one say. if YOU
advance the doctrine here tonight that
Woman's influence has always been for
good, [ will go back to the creation and
confute all your arguments. My
brother L am not going to say 50, and
let me tell you, Adam was about as
much to blame as Eve-he should

not understand why a part of the pa
pers comes to his office at one time in
the week and a part at another time.
We use a mailing machine, and the
papers that &C to new subscribers and
to those who have renewed their sub
scriptions are held back until the types
can be set up and new labels printed.
This explains the matter. 1t is i'm
possible to handle a large subscription
list, like ours, any more rapidly than
we do. We are glad brother Forney
wrote us. We want all our friends to
inform lis promptly when anything
goes wrong.

EX-SENATOR INGALLS, thinks Harrison
and Cleveland will be the candidates
of the two old parties in 1892. That
would Indicate that in the cX-Senators
mind, presidential timber is very scarce,
and of a poor quality in this country.
The idea that Mr.. Harrison, with his
record upon the tariff and other eco
nOmic questions can be re elected to the
presidency under any circumstances is
grotesquely absurd. But this idea is
not more absurd than it is to suppose
that Mr.. Cleveland, the enemy of free
coinage, can be elected over any re
spectacle man who stands right upon
the questions of finance now before the
people. Neither Benjamin Harrison,
nor Grover Cleveland will be elected to
the presidency in 1892. To look upon
such a result as possible is to assume
that the organized labOrers of this
country have run stark mad. The
next President of the United States
will be a tariff reformer and a free
silver man.

\ LAWSUIT in Texas about a calf has
resulted in the killing of all the parties
to the suit except the calf. One Of the
litigants shot the other, and then the
Sheriff shot the murderer, so only the
calf, worth six dollars, is left alive.
Well, it seems to us the affair turned
out well enough. 1t is obvious that
the calf was the only valuable thing
concerned in the controversy.

LET the farmers of the country, now
that pitching-crop time has come, re
sist the temptation to go into debt for
things they can do without. A farmer
ought to look upon a mortgage on his
property, given to his merchant, as a
disgrace to him; and avoid it as he
would avoid the plague. Make the
biggest crop you can, brethren, but let
it be all your own when it shall have
been made. This you cannot do if you
go in debt.

WE want short, practical articles
upon practical farming in North Caro-
lima, from practical North Carolina
farmers. We want men to write these
articles who have made farming a
success, and who are not ashamed of
their ancient and noble calling. We
do not find it difficult to get men to
write upon finance and reform. But
the men who are willing to write about
their own experience on the farm are
not so willing to go into print. Give
us the methods that have succeeded
with you, and we will give them to
many thousands of your brother
farmers.
GOOD for Iowa, By reference to an
other column it will be seen that the
Farmers Alliance has organized the
great State Of Iowa. The organization
was effected amidst the greatest en-
thusiasm. President Polk and other
distinguished gentlemen were present
and made speeches. We are glad this
great agricultural State has wheeled
into line to help us preach the evangel
of a restored Union and hold out to the
people the signs of hope. which this re
form movement has written upon it's
banners. We welcome you, Iowa. to

A Boston paper says a ~policeman's
club has been invented with a g~alvanic
battery in it which, when the rOwdy
siezes it to take it from the guardian
of good order, communicates an cleo
trio shock that astonishes and par
alyzes said rowdy. We supposed the
saloon-keepers had a corne on the
only kind of lightning that was ever
used upon rowdies. Are we to under
stand that the knights of the cup and
the beer glass, those men who can
prove their good characters by the rec
ords Of excise courts, are to have no
exclusive privileges which the genius
of modern invention does not invade?

erosion, Iowa, March 10, 1891.-A
State meeting of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union is in session here,
with representatives of two hundred
Alliances, and completed the organiza-
ton of the State Alliance to-day. The
Ocala platform was adopted. State
officers were elected as follows: j. M.
Joseph, President; Daniel Campbell,
Vice-President; Geo. B. Long, Secre-
tary; j. j. Laws, Treasurer, and L. H.
Griffith, Lecturer. After the regular
business was finished, the farmers and
leading citizens of the county joined
the members of the Alliance in two
large public meetings in the court
house, and listened to speeches of re-
markable power and ability from the
following distinguished gentlemen: L.
L. Polk, of North Carolina, President
of the National Alliance; @. F. Willett,
J. G. Otis, of Kansas; F. F. Mercer and
AlOnzo Wardell, of South Dakota:
Gen. J. B. Weaver, J. r. Sovereign,
State Labor Commissioner, and others.
President Polk was greeted with great
warmth and enthusiasm. His state
ment that the people of the Southern
Alliance had buried the bloody shirt
with all war issues and sectional feel
ings, and were ready to join hands with
the Alliance of the Northwest upon the
living issues of the present, was re-
ceived with unbounded applause. The
partisan political press has been warn
ing the farmers against the rebel briga-
der, Polk; but their lies have fallen
harmless, and no man has ever had a
warmer or more friendly welcome
from the people Of Iowa.

The Pleasant and Instructive Game In-
trodueed by Eoatoa Scsaoolrl4r SIM.
There Is one woman in Boston who is
determined that her sex shall not debaT
her from putting heavy mark on the
next generation. She Is a scirool teacher,
and one Of the few who do not under
value their position and its influence
She has suffered q deal in her time from the
bad manners prevalent in public places,
aud every year she has about 80 boys and
girls between the ages Of and in her
power between five and six hours five
days out Of seven, and she thinks that II
will 60 hard il she does not do something
toward intoxicating manners into them
and at the same time hitting the parents
a side slap which may not be without its
result.
This is one Of her methods: Once a
week half an afternoon Is given 10 rec
reation, and she ingents games for the
amusement and instruction Of her class,
so that while they think they are PLAYING
they are really learning something. One
OF these games, the one in fact which
the youngsters enjoy most, Is called
street car The central aisle 81 the
classroom with its row Of seats on either
side becomes the electric ear. A boy is
chosen for motor man; this post is given
g boy who has been very good for the
week, and in a sim le way tine teacher
makes the class understand how the elec-
tricity runs the car. Another boy is the
conductor, and they have paper checks
for fares. The other children are all pas
sengers. They are supposed To be bust
ness men returning home TO dinner-and
II is impressed upon them that they are
very tired and very anxious TO read their
papers-and women who have been shop
ping OF to the matinees. One by one the
children signal the car, and the conduc-
tor rings his bell the motor man turns
his crank, the passenger enters, walks
down the aisle, and takes a seat. Finally
all seats are taken, and 10 point the play
the better most of the boys enter first
and take the chairs. Then the girls board
the improvised ear. The boys being inn
pressed that they are very tired, politely
rise, one by one, and civilly offer the girls
the seats, until every one is up but one
boy, who is known in the game as the
pig. Then the teacher enters She
plays her own part, and the children are
supposed to be her old pupils, who are
glad to see her, and all the girls even are
anxious that she should take their seats,
and still the pig, glanced at with sur
prise by all the children, sticks TO his
seat. Now, this game is very popular
with the class, but no one enjoys being
the pig.
The teacher says that she already notes
the great improvement which her pupils
show In manners. They are most anx-

ACT AT ONCE.

Some legislator ought to intro
duce an amendment to the State
Constitution giving the Legislature
the right to appropriate money to
put Confederate cemeteries in Geor-
gia in decent condition. A small
appropriation for each cemetery
would be all that would be required.
Georgians owe this much to their
dead. The contrast between the
well-kept Federal cemetery and the
sadly neglected Confederate Gene
terry at this place, is a reflection
upon Georgians. We urge up
on our Legislators this important
duty. The tax payers had rather
see their money devoted to such a
praiseworthy object, than spent on
military encampments and prolong-
ed sessions. What legislator will
have the courage to perform this
duty?

UNIFORMITY IN SCHOOL BOOKS.

Tie State School Commission has,
in a recent report to the Gen
eral Assembly, recommended State
uniformity in school text books.
Senator Culver has introduced a
bill in the Senate, entitled "a bill
to establish and maintain a uniform
series of text books to be used in all
the public schools of this State and
for other purposes
The bill provides for a book com.
mission, composed of the State
School Commissioner, the Governor,
the Attorney General, the Secre-
tary of State, the Comptroller Cen
eral and the Chancellor of the State
University.
The Bible is not to be used as a
text book in the schools. Captain
Bradwell claims in his report that
the country people are in favor of
the change.
MIR. Power, our County School
Commissioner, on being asked about
Cobb county, says he has talked
with the people OF the county and
finds they are not in favor of a
change.
lie states that he las made careful
estimates and thinks there is over
$4,000 worth Of school books now in
use in the county and to pass this
law would place very great burden
on our people which he thinks un-
wise in as much as not quite three
years have elapsed since an adoption
was made.
County uniformity is far enough
to carry such law.
The bill is fraught with danger
and may breed ills that should be
avoided.
