DURHAM, n. c., May 8, 81.
Mr.. EDITOR:-Please permit us to say
a word through the columns of THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER about Piney
Grove Academy, as it is so closely CON
nected with Piney Grove Alliance.
When we organized an Alliance, one
of the first great needs we discovered
was that of a better education. We
Immediately went to work to secure it.
And as a result. so far, our school has
been doing well and improves with
each session. The closing exercises of
the last session took place April 24th
ult. The day was unfavorable, but the
people fOcked in by hundreds until a
large audience was the result. The
exercises were opened by singing and
prayer. Then came the speeches by
the children, all of which did well,
after which Rev. @. A. WoOdson de-
livered a short, eloquent address. The
hour having arrived for the literary
address, Prof. Geo. T. Winston, IL.
D.3 VI OLC OLI"C1S1UJ VI LNOIUu caro-
lima, was introduced by J. Sanford,
D. D., and spoke about one hour to the
delight of all who heard him. Prof.
Winston enthrOned himself in the
hearts of u people. We shall hope to
hear from him again in the near
future.
Revs. J. Sanford, D. D., O. Ryder
and Prof. w. G.. Vickers, County
superintendent of Public instruction,
also delivered short addresses. all of
which were good and highly appre-
ciated.
The class on defamation then con-
tested for a gold medal. Everybody
was surprised and delighted at the
manner in which the boys and girls
acquitted themselves. The medal was
awarded to Mr.. w. D. Harvard, a
young man of strong moral character
and great promise. A corcert then fol
lowed which wa highly entertaining.
The prizes were then awarded, after
which the exercises closed and we all
went to respective homes feeling
that we had spent a very pleasant and
profitable day indeed.
Yours f~raternally,
P. H. MASSEY.

Mr.. EDITOR:-The Martin County
Alliance met in Williamson on the
2Sth inst. for the purpose Of transact
ing its business and to meet Prof. f.
S. Blair, District Lecturer for the First
| Congressional District. | am happy to
say we had the pleasure of meeting
that urbane gentleman and listening to
him for nearly two hours in the morn
ing when he addressed the public and
something near an hour in the after
noon to the Alliance. Brother Blair's
style of speaking is somewhat differ
ent from most speakers, but none the
less instructive because of it. His
metaphors are few but to the point and
very strong and effective. | once
heard of a young man that had just re
turned from College, who went to call
on his best girl, thinking to impress
her more favorably by straining his
vocabulary for high-sounding words.
The weather being right warm and
wanting to tell her that he was sweat
ing, he said as he was hopping his fore
head: "Ah, the weather is so intense
ly diaphroetic that [ am being deprived
of the saline and Oleaginous fluids of
the material substance through the ex-
c~reterres of the pellucid cuticle with a
sensible condensation of moisture upon
the superficial exterior" Bro. Blair
has nothing of a superficial nature in
his argument. He speaks in a business
way, a way that the necessities of the
times call for.
And by the way that veteran of
BERTHE county, brother James Bond,
was with us and gave us a speech that
will be long remembered, remembered
for it's logical definition of the words
Democrat and Republican; remem-
bered for it's enthusiastic u~tterances,
its sarcastic, ironical r%aillery of a par
tisan press that b7lches forth volley
after vOlley of v~illainous Islander, an
athena, satire and ridicule against
every demand of the farmer and la
b0rer. l vas pleased to see so large an
attendance at the county meeting, be-
cause it shows an awakening among
the people when they will leave their
homes and work (and very important
work just now on so fine a day as yes
terday was. I was pleased, very much
pleased. By their interest it shows that
no n need be a prophet or a son of a
prophet to see that the people are tax
ing the bits in their teeth, and if some
thing is not done and that 500 there
is going to be the grandest runaway

cloud, sir, to-day is so much bigger
than a mans hand as it comes shad-
downing up, that to all who will look it
is an inspiring sight. That shadow is,
I hope and believe a revolution in the
administration of this government.
We are on the high road to success,
and it seems to me that we are bound
to succeed if we "stand together"
1 don't suppose the history OF the
world records a page any blacker with
abuse than would be that spoken by
the enemies Of the farmers movement,
Remember that the gods first made
mad those whom they intended to de
stroy. Could anything better illustrate
this than the coming revolution, and
they never go backward? Think not.
My countrymen, be on your guards.

WHY ENSILAGE PAYS

DR.. O. T. Everhart addressed a
Grange meeting in York county, Pa.
on November II, on the above subject.
After describing the silo, what ensilege
is, and how it is the duty of the Grange
to educate her members, he set forth
the Importance of the silo by the fol
lowing facts:
In order to obtain a barnyard manure
in large quantities we must keep stock,
and 1 will add, the more the better. 1
presume some of my farmer friends
will interpose an objection to the last
assertion, tell me that from an ex-
perience of many years they have found
that too much stock impoverishes a
farm. 1t is possible, that under the
old system of farming, that may have
been true. To accomplish this desir-

Mr.. EDITORIALS Riders Greek ALI
ance has appointed me to write a few
words to your valuable paper, and as
it has not been heard from through it
for quite a long time, l will tell you
how we are getting along. We are in
q good working order and progressing
finely, and so are most of the other Al
liances throughout the county We
meet twice a month and at some meet
ings we have a very good attendance,
and at some we do not have very
many. It seems as if some of our
brethren do not take very much inter
est in what we are doing. If it were
not so, they would attend their meet
ings more regularly, though we have
some that are strong AIliancemen and
will stick "tOOth and tOenail' to it's
principles. We think that if every
Allianceman would take THE PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER, (OUr State Organ), and
IGdu IL dlIu S00 WudU UuG ALIIIlC6 10
doing else where, they would become
better Alliancemen and stick to it's
principles and attend their meetings
more regularly.
We have a great many members on
roll and still they come. This is be-
cause they outsiders see what we are
doing and the foundation upon which
the Alliance is based, and they know
that we II based upon a foundation
that will nerer crumbIe into dust.
l had the honor of hearing the
grand and noble speech of Mr.. F. S.
Blair, the District Lecturer, on the
first day of May, and 1 think him to
be a true AIlianceman.
Hoping THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
much success, | remain

dOrses our plan and asks us TO go
obnad and we know Of no better way
to start than to ask that the Secretary
of each Sub-Alliance in the State bring
the subject before his Alliance at It's
next meeting. Some may say to enter
into this arrangement there would be
too many appeals for aid, knowing
thew would receive help, for sometimes
a man thinks he is really poorer than
he is. and if he knows he is going to
get help, will not try to help himself,
and that is why we want a committee
to investigate and find out the exact
need. and the committeeman had best
not be any of the applicants kin, for
he might think he needed a little more
than he ought to have. 1 will give a
few cases which [ think would be just
w entitled to aid. For instance a
brother dies and leaves his family with
no means of support; he may have a
growing crop with no one to cultivate
it. They need help. Or his house may
have been burned up with all Of his
furniture, and he is not able to buy
more or to rebuild, but is out of doors.
Such a one needs our help. His horse
is dead in the midst of his crop and he
has no means to get another unless,
perhaps, giving an additional mortgage
which at the end of the year would
take horse, crop and all. We think,
brethren, that you all would say give
that brother a horse. OF course many
cases similar to the above would be
for our consideration.
Now brethren you know there is
some over 1000 Sub-Alliances in this
State, and the small sum of ten cents
from each Alliance, which none of us
would miss, would be the neat little
sum of 5000, which would do a deal of
good, properly placed. The brother
would have had had his leg long ago.
! mean the artificial one asked for.
Now if there is a single member of
our order who would object to the
small pittance that would be paid from
the treasury of his Alliance for such
objects as stated, the Lord have mercy
on him; but l hope our order is not
composed of that kind of timber.
Brethren, if we expect God to bless us
as an organization we must help one
another. Christ tells us to bear each
other S burdens and so fulfill His law.
Now let's all come together and do
good, and every Alliance that is will
ling to enter into this arrangement
send name and number to be published
in THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER. Any that
have not seen the plan as first stated,
will give it again if wanted, or perhaps
some other brother will give a better.
Fraternally,
W. NJ. MARTIN.

The ratio of the circumference to the
diameter of the circle was computed
by Archimedes as 22:7, and P. Metius
made it 355 :113. After a tedious calcu-
lation, Shanks has now fixed it as far
as $50 decimals. and Rutherford has
verified the results up to the 44Oth
decimal.
