EDITORIAL NOTES.
* New Jersey State Alliance will

be organized in this month.
* Delaware State Alliance will be
organized in September. The Peach
Tree State is getting there.
*** We met with Sheriff Griffith, of
Davidson county, on the train recent
ly. He reports the Alliance in a
fourishing condition in that grand old
county.
Xxx The Alliance in California is said
to be in a fine condition. California
will o be n of the very best or
ganized States. The Order all along
the Pacific Coast is fourishing,
X The editor of this paper has re
peatedly offered to discuss the Sub
Treasury with anybody. Don't be
bashful, gentlemen, come forward and
wade in. Satisfaction guaranteed.
X Don't forget the mass-meeting at
Maxton on the 9th, nor the Thomasville
meeting on the 9TH. Try to keep your
self in readiness for the Rocky Mount
meeting on the 8th. All hands in
vited.
* 1t is reported that a stock com
pany has bought the Country Homes
and EUening Journal, at Asheville, and
that they will consolidate the two and
publish an Alliance daily and weekly
paper.
~ Rowan County Alliance voted on
the Ocala demands last Saturday at
Salisbury. The vote was 40 for and
one against. That is ample proof that
the farmers Of that county have not
fell from grace.
Xxx We have an excellent account of
the meeting at Kings Mountain and
the laying of the cornerstone of Glenn
son College, S. O., and regret that
they came too late for this issue. Both
Will appear in next.
Now and then some of the politi-
cal papers publish articles opposing
Alliance principles, p~urporting to be
written by members of the Alliance,
Most of them are written in the Office
of the paper publishing them, or by
men not members Of our order.
Col. Harry Skinner, of Pitt
county, will be at Maxton on the 9Th,
Lexington 9TH, and Rock Mount the
Sth of August. He will deliver an
address at each place and discuss the
principles of the Sub Treasury. Col.
Skinner originated the scheme and his
lectures will be of unusual interest.
The M~eckIenburg County Ali
ance, at it's regular session, passed
resolutions repudiating the Mecklen-
burg Times, A resolution was also
passed whereby each Alliance member
present pledged himself to plant next
year only ten acres of cotton to the
horse. In this movement the Alliance
of Cabarrus county will also join.
The Wilmington Messenger thinks
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER is a very re
markable paper as now edited, 1t also
intimates that the editor don't know
what Mr.. jefferson and Mr.. Calhoun
meant when they wrote what we
quoted in last issue. They we're very
concise writers and speakers. The
Messenger also intimates that the writer |
is a demagogue. \ demagogue means
"a leader of the people" We don't
claim that honor, but if so we are at
least ten million miles ahead of Brer |
Kingsbury.
