PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The reason that | have selected the

[ have been a teacher of public
schools for three years. Our future
prospect rests to a considerable extent
upon the prosperity of our public
schools. I know the oppression of
the poor is due mainly to a lack of
education morally, financially, political
ly and to the common interest of the
people at large, The free schools are
the only means that we have for
reaching the poor class of people.
The rich may have the advantage of
the colleges, but they are entirely out
of reach of the poor, so improve the
free schools and lend a helping hand
to the many illiterate children of
North Carolina. The character of a
man can be traced back to his early
training of his parents and his school.

as those to be elected, to adopt this
into law.

TO COUNTY AND SUB-ALLI
ANCES.

I now call upon all County and Sub
Alliances to send in their orders for N. G.
F. A. Official Guano early. There are
many reasons why it should be done.
If your orders are placed early, the goods
can be placed at your depots, and you
can have it out at your own convenience
ano the transportation companies Will
not be so crowded when the rush for
guano is on. It will cost you no more as
interest does not begin till April 1st. Send
in the company's printed notes, and if you
wish to pay cash at any time you can
take up your notes and stop interest.
We expect a very large trade in guano
this year and will be able to furnish all
who wish it if orders viii be sent in good
time. But if all wait till about the time
to commence using it, the transportation
companies cannot move it as fast as it is
wanted. At next county meetings, on
the second Friday in January, it would
be well to have the matter discussed and
estimate of amount wanted and forward
to the company. Although the price of
materials are higher, we pay the same
for the goods and have It guaranteed to
be fully up to what it was last season.
Please bring this matter before each
Sub-Alliance.

DAIRY INSTRUCTION OF THE
IOWA AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.

AS noted last week in our reported
of the annual meeting of the Iowa
Butter, Cheese and Egg Association,
that body appointed a committee of
three, consisting of MI. Dennison of
Mason City, Mr. J. W. Johnson of
Oskaloosa, and Dairy Commissioner
Upper, to wait on the board of trus
tees of the college and present the
claims of the Iowa dairymen to a
department of scientific and practical
dairy instruction at the. agricultural
college. This committee waited on
the board of trustees last week and
we're given a hearing and assurance
that at as early a date as possible their
request should be complied with.
We are glad to note the success of
this mission. Iowa is rapidly taking
a front seat among the dairy states.
The industry is now a very large one
and constantly growing. The capacity
of the soil and climate to produce the
very butter and cheese has been
demonstrated years ago, and it requires
only educated farmers, improved dairy
COWS and butter and cheese makers,
educated to the best methods to
produce any desired amount OF gilt
edged product. The proper place to
educate the young men and women of
Iowa in the best methods whether of
breeding or feeding dairy cattle, Or
manufacturing d gut edged product,
is at the agricultural college at Ames.
The college has the farm, the grasses
and grains, the herds OF dairy cattle,
the scientific appliances, and all that
it needs to be a power in promoting
the dairy interest of the State is
students who are seeking dairy instruc,
ton, aud "a dairy instructor at once
scie 1tiic and practical.
The establishment of a dairy de-
partment will be a wonderful aid to
the college as well as to the dairy
interest. We r glad the dairymen's
convention has taken the initiative
and thai the board of trustees have
given them such a cordial reception.

LOU ~ 1COO,
MI. EDTToR:-From what l see,
read and hear, it seems that Senator
Vance is the only man in all this
commonwealth. The laboring class
of people have come to the opinion
that the legislation for the last twenty
five years has been shaped for the
benefit of the monied class alone.
However that may be, nevertheless it
is indelibly stamped upon their minds.
How are we to eradicate it ? is a ques-
ton for statesmen, philosophers and
sages for the good of all concerned.
Many people outside Of this labor
movement, Alliance organizations etc.
say the old warehouses should be
dropped from the roll for a season for
harmony's sake. Again, many of
them say that Senator Vance has
slain the goose that has laid unto him
the golden egg. These are, and bave
been ell the time the Senator's friends,
and have been very kind to him, and
have applied many kind epithets to
him; such words as bright and pure,
Worshipped him as some heather god,
and applied those very epithets to him
with as much sincerity as Apollo did
to Ph@bus, the SUI god.
Now Senator Vance's friends are
making a very uncharitable war upon
this very class; and, Col. Polk, would
It not be wisdom to drop the Senator,

Mr.. EDIToR:-I am not a member
Of the Farmers Alliance; but, being
many years the senior of the order in
principle, and knowing that the legis

| do not assume too much liberty in
calling your atten lion to a few sug
gestions: First, | think it absolutely
necessary for both branches of the
legislature to elect entirely new eff ;ers,
make a clean sweep Of the old ones,
They have been subscribing a set of
politicians who are all purchased by
corporations, who have ever antagon-
lied the best interest of the farmers,
and who will have a full floor of lob
bies trying to Organiz3 the entire body,
the same having their expenses paid
by railroad corporations, Who will
claim that Democrats will be held re
sponsible to the party if they are not
advised by them. There will be a
dead set to down the farmer on their
first round and it is ali the more as
sentiai to>be on the alert and see that
men do not pigeon hole their best mat
ter until too late in the day : get
them through.
Now my second suggestion is, that
the election of a u. s. Senator should
be among the very last business OF
the session. See to it that the time is
given for expressions from candidates
and the public generally. Do not al,
low the agants of corporations to ruin
