~ We suspect that Bro. Scott, of
the LenOir Topic, will soon apply for
membership in the Annanias Club.
Dear Brother, if you want any en-
dorsement as to qualifications, don't
hesitate to call on us.
~ Some of the editors of the State
say that Editor Scott is 102 years old
and has cut his third set Of teeth. This
may not be true, but all admit that
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER set the hair
on him week before last.
~ Among the attractions at the Elk
position none will be more interesting
to strangers than the collection OF
North Carolina animals, snakes and
birds exhibited by Mr., J. D. Hensley,
Of New Berne. 1t is a very respectable
menagerie within itself.
- There is a lesson in store for
some of the partisan editors in this
State. And that lesson is: That the
patriotic, fair-minded, justice loving
people of. North Carolina will not
accept downright lying and vile Sian
der, for argument.
k Now is the time to prepare your
land for politics. Fall blowing is the
best for all crops. You should also
pillow deep. But don't raise politics to
the exclusion Of bread and meat, Now
who will charge that THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER is not an agricultural paper?
* When preparing your land for
sowing politics always use the Sub
Treasury Financial Harrow, 1t has
been in use for some time in this coun-
try and never fails to ~pulverize the soil
thoroughly. It also ~pulverizes the
politicians, especially if they be scrub
stock.
The last issue of the Denver, Col.
Weekly Times was a % page paper, p
pages containing lots of land advertised
for taxes. There are 10, 36S lots adver-
tisrd. From this we conclude that
they are suffering from the ERA of
great prosperity" that the bankers
talk about.
The railroads throughout the
United States have agreed to give a
one cent a mile fare to Raleigh during
the two months Of the Exposition on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thurs
days. You can leave home on either
of those days from any part CT the
United States at the low rate.
Let every AIlianceman come to
Raleigh on Friday, the 9th of October.
Senator PETER, of Kansas, President
Marion Butler and State Lecturer Bell
and other speakers will be present.
Come one, come all! Alliancemen and
their families will be admitted for half
price on that day. Get your secretary
to put the seal OF a slip of paper and
present it at the gate, and it will admit
you.
. One by one the lies of the Anna
MAS Club have been exploded. But
say, brother NelrS and Observer, why
don't you get your partner, the Topeka
Capital, to send you a special dispatch
telling you all about the 6rotheJly
fusion that is going on between the
Democrats and Republicans in Kansas?
Suppose, by way of variation, you tell
your readers something about this cor
rupt business!
* Lieut.. @. T. King, of the staff of
the Atlanta Journal, arrived here and
at once reported at the office Of The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER last Wednesday.
He will stay until about the 18th of
October and write up the great Expo
sition for the Journal daily. The
Journal is a great newspaper and our
friend King is doing much to perpetu-
ate it's greatness. The writer is respOn
sible for Mr.. King while he stays here
and will turn in a fire alarm if his hair
begins to smoke. Mr.. F. P. Richard
son, Of the journal, will be here Thurs
day at the opening of the Exposition
and respond to the address of welcome
by Gov. Holt.
~ Some of our anti-Alliance ex-
continue to complain that the
organization has been perverted from
the original purpose. They say that
equal rights to ALL" and for the
mental, moral and financial good" of
its members have both been discarded.
We suppose this is because we are be-
ginning to diversity crops, as they ad-
vised and began to raise politics. If
the farmers don't get their fair share
of the advantages of politics, how will
they get equal rights" If good poll
tics are conducive to our mental,
