1t is strange to us that the business
men of Decherd do not take better
interest in the Headlight.-Decherd
Headlight.
There is nothing strange about it.
Business men have too much sense to
support any paper which boasts of its
fearless, out-spoken" espousal of the
Alliance. Such an undemocratic, un-
american, unbusiness-like secret po-
litical organization will kill any
newspaper that espouses its cause.
The Headlight is also grumbling at
the Alliancemen for not coming up
with their subscriptions. The great
bulk of Alliance members are men
who never read newspapers. When
Alliancemen go to reading newspa-
pers, and inform themselves as to the
true character of the order, they will
roll out of its ranks like rats out of a
sinking ship.

There is no room to doubt that the

evident from his buying a ticket to

intention ofstopping here, but when
