JERRY SIMPSON, the sOckless states
man of Kansas, is making speeches
down i'm Georgia. His mission is to
build mp the Farmers Alliance and tell
its members in the South how to save

the following is an extract:

The report says this passage was re-
ceived with great cheers" 1t is well
calculated to elicit cheers from a
Georgia crowd. One of the strongest
arguments against popular suffrage is
that it elev;ites to Office vicious dema-

them a sort of official license to dissem-
mate such rot.

HOME--RAISED STOCK

In a recent issue Of the Whining
ton Star reference is made to the
great numbers of horses and mules
brought from Tennessee. Virginia
and Kentucky to North Carolina,
and especially to Eastern Carolina,
1t is true that many mules and
horses have been brought to this
part Of the state during the past
ten or fifteen years; but in the Scot
land Neck region we think there
will be a falling off this season {.
Many farmers are raising thier own
stock and some are raising to sell.
And this IS as it ought to be. There
are vast areas of fine pasture lands
along the Roanoke river aud elese-
where in this region upon which
stock may be raised at very small
cost. And we are glad to see that
this part Of the state is beginning
the work Of raising stock for our
own use at home. There is plenty
of grass to make plenty of hay and
the winters are mild and everything
favors the raising of stock right
here at home.
