PRODUCED at the State Alliance at More
head: Re2oIrcI, by the North Carolina
State Alliance, that this body heartily
endorse THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER as
the official organ of this body for the
ensuing year. Passed unanimously.
VIII the Ncws and OJ&~rrar dis
cuas any Of the Alliance demands and
not mention the name of Col, Polk or
any prominent AIlianceman in the dis
cussion? The other conditionsa are that
it devote one day each week as it is a
daily. Any amount Of space it wants
to use that day will be allowed.
The Atlanta JouruuI evidently
hopes to accomplish much by antagon-

full Of mean, lOWdown insinuatiOns
every day. Another case of warming

his four appointments in Stanly
county owing to the rallies at Salisbury

State newspapers, Some Of them give
