T. Bond Brown the Maryland and
Va. general agent for the singer sew.
ing machine company was in town on
Monday looking after the interest of
the Company and for an agent for the
three upper districts of this county.
T. Bond says there are millions in it
for an agent. He was exercised
quite a good deal over the alliance
movement in the county; verywbere
be went he said the farmers were
talking about the alliance, and that
the organization was going to sweep
the county like wild fire. The peo-
pie especially the farmers and
mechanics are heartily sick of putting
small bore lawyers and dead beat
politicians in offices to eat up taxes
and do nothing.

For Rising Sun only one piece of
fair workmanship was on the street
on Thursday last drunk and indecent
exposure is his record. No arrest.
At Elkton which is head quarters
the record runs.
FRIDAY.
At night a young man drunk and
thrown out OF saloon, taken to bis
home by the peace officer of the town.
SATURDAY.
At two o'clock in the morning a
noisy row with loud swearing on
Main street, when the peace officer
appeared on the ground the parties
had dispersed.
TUESDAY.
At night an unusual number of
drunken men on the street but no
breaches of the peace.
THURSDAY
In the afternoon a man from the
country drunk and disorderly on
Main street. Afterwards taken home
by his friends. A warrant out for
him.
At.North East the Star says,
"We don't hear anybody saying
there was as much drunkenness
under prohibition as we now have
under license. Nor do we hear men
saying that as much intoxicating
liquor was brought to town and drunk
when prohibition prevailed as under
the present system. 1t used to be an
occasional keg of beer and demijohn
now and then; now barrels aud kegs
by the wagon load are almost daily
hauled from the depot"
This answers for any section of
the county equally well. What can
1900 voters answer to these facts,
who used to repeat the saloon inven-
lions and give them as reason for
voting for "high' license? They
appear to have all gone into their
holes and are trying to pull the hole
in after them.

Alliance Meetings.

Rising Sun Farmers Alliance
meets every Thursday aft rnoon.
Much interest is shown by the men,
beers in the questions which are agi.
tating farmers throughout the
country and papers are read and
discussions had on the various top
les which are claiming public atten.
ton. Memners are joining the
alliance at every meeting and the
organization bids fair to become
very powerful in Cecil in few
months. The Alliance proposes to
take hand aud have something
yes good deal-to say in county
and State affairs in future. The
Grange, too, is cooperating in the
good work and moving on the same
line, but is more sedate and "con.
SENTATIVE" institution. 1t was burned
by tricky politicians in its early and
younger days and acts with caution
and elaboration but it is getting
there also.
There is one important fact which
the farmer organizations have learn
ed, which is that the daily papers
are very nearly all in league with
the wealthy and corporate classes
and admit nothing TO their CO iumns
that conflicts with the interests of
those classes while losing no oppr.
tvnity to ridicule and misrepresent
every movement of the agricultural
class The great majority of country
papers too are little less than SER
vile tools of the village politicians
and country Office hunters.
