ing benefited as largely as they thought
to be, and the good times didn't come
as fast as they expected. "A rolling
stone never gathers any moss" How
ever, we have a gOOdly number who
meet regularly, and who expect to be
benefited thereby. We can readily
account for a vast amount of this lack
of interest in the fact that there IS not
enough Alliance literature read by Il
Sub-Alliance members. We think 1t
is the duty of every Allianceman to
take the Alliance organ and read 1t.
We can never be too well informed in
the Alliance work.
We have stood still for a long time,
but as the new year came IN we re-
solved to do more work and of a better
quality than we ever have done; don't
propose to wait for the wagon any
longer. It is high time that farmers
of this land Of ours were up and doing.
We are glad that the present legisla-
ture has taken so many noble steps to-
ward the high mark ftheir calling. The
Railroad Commission is all the go. We
hear this name and that name men
toned for a Commissioner. One word
in regard to the commissioners: We
have seen the names of some mentioned
as being just the men for the place.
Mr.. Editor, any man who can say
openly that the Farmers Alliance
has a plank in its platform that ex-
cludes all the intelligence Of the cOun-
try" is not the man we desire to repre-
sent the East.
Isn't it strange that intelligent men
will commit suicide when apparently
there is no cause? However, we are
willing to trust the good n and
patriotism of our present Legislature in
this matter. GREGORY.

MIR. EDITOR:-I notice III The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER under date of March
Sd a communication signed "ShOccO,"
heartily endorsing Compulsory Edu-
cation" It seems to me that he labOrs
under a mistake, if l rightly compre-
bend American principles. He argues
that I'VE and our children belong to
the country" In a sense this is true,
but in the sense he uses it the reverse
is the truth, viz: This country belongs
to us and our children. And "we,"
| (and [ would spell we with a big w
have a right to control it. And not
one class of people only, as his argu-
ment seems to Indicate. All pay taxes
to raise a fund for public education;
and all have a right to use this fund, but
I think there is no power OF earth that
has the right to make us use these privi-
Ieges. Heaven itself stands alOOf from
"cOmpulsiOn,' offering US rewards for
right doing and toachingUs that eternal
death is not the desired punishment,
but the only alternative for wrong do
ing [ understand that the genuine
American is not forced to pay taxes for
public education, nOr any other pur-
| pose; but he has said through his rep
resentative that he is willing to do it
to support the government he loves. 1t
is true that even now the advantages
of an education shine out so clearly
and exerts such an influence upon So
ciety that "a man without it IabOrs at
a great disadvantage" And this, too,
without "cOmpulsiOn."
Now l want it to be distinctly I'M
derstood that l am a friend to public
schools; and l agree with "Shocco "
that it is to be deplored that so many
fail to avail themselves of these privi-
leges. But what is the remedy? [
suggest this: Let our noble State prove
by her actions that she is interested in
the education of the masses. Let her
build good school houses, 50 that our
children can be comfortable in them.
Have not less than four months school
per year. Six, | believe, would be
none too many. Employ none but
good teachers. Let them be required
to reach a certain standard of educa-
ton, of course. Appoint as committee
men only those who are interested in
education. And in employment of
teachers let the committee consider
not only the grade of his the teachers
certificate, but his general character
and his aptness to teach others what he,
knows.
And to crown all, let every lover of
the public schools remember that DOv-
erty Of the masses is among the most
prominent foes with which the noble
cause of public education has to CON
tend. Don't give us compulsory
education" unless with this YOU give
us good school houses, good teachers,
plenty of meat and bread, at least. some
good wooden clothes to wear in winter
and a littlemOney to buy our books. &c.
But perhaps | have scrubbed too
much now, and your waste basket
may be full, 50 no more at present.

Mr.. EDITOR:-AIlOw me a small
space in your columns to let the
brethren and sisters Of the Sand Hills
hear from us in the Piedmont section
of our old Tar Heel State. Our lodge is
Pilot Town, No. Zip. We organized
with six charter members; we now
have 10. We have grown slowly but
surely. The most of III members are
jealous. wide awake brothers and
sisters. Notwithstanding we have some
opposition in the shape of hardshellism,
yet there is a great many outside that
are favorable to our cause, if we could
only get them educated in our princi-
pies. Now, brother, l hope this will
meet the eye Of our Executive Com
mittee and they will send us a good
lecturer, forinstance Bro. Beddingfield.
We need him and | think it would be
policy for them to do 50, as we have
had no benefit from any of our lee

YOU on the appearance and general
makeup of THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER

ing that makes a paper so popular as
something for the good housewife
remember that. The size of the type
and the subject-matter is quite an i'm

The question of interest should be

Mr.. EDITOR:-I have not seen any
thing from Fairfield Sub-AIliance, No.

valuable columns. We have so mem
bers in good standing IL our Fairfield
lodge, and some as good and faithful
members as there is in the State. We
don't pass many resolutions nOr write
many articles for your paper, but we
read your paper extensively among
our brotherhood, and like to read it
and hear from all the Sub-AllianceS in
the State. Articles on interesting sub
jects-On economy and education is
what we all need, but we should guard
against inconsistencies in all our writ
ing and actions, for our enemies are on
the alert, watching their chances to
destroy; and l beg the brotherhood to
be firm and faithful, for through our
f~aithfulness salvation as a nation
depends.
l will say a few words in regard to
the healthfulness of Hyde county. The
county has been organized two years
membership 5OO-and not one has died
who belonged to the Alliance, as [ have
heard Of. The Sub-Alliance at Fair
field is running a cooperative store on
strict business principles. 1t is CON
trolled by the president and directors,
and run by Alliancemen entirely. Put
in the stock about the middle of No
vember of 81, 600, and at the end of
three months had declared a dividend
of Is per cent, at 20 per cent. on face
of bills. The store sells to all at the
same per cent, members or not. The
store IS working nicely, and a much
better feeling toward the order and
store exists 10Y than when it began.
Long and happy life, Mr.. Editor, and
hope that Col. Polk may be blest with
good health and may live to enjoy the
benefit of his labOrs in his old age. and
receive the happy response, We'll

Mr.. EDITOR:-On the 4th inst. [
visited Acor Ridge Alliance, Moore
county. The bad weather prevented a
full attendance. High waters pre-
vented my reaching my appointments
west Of Deep river, and we will be
compelled to postpone n meeting
with the good brethren ver there for
the present.
Friday, the 9th, found the earth
overhung with d black pail of cloud,
from which the rain unnecessarily poured,
but Notwithstanding this fact the
brethren at Ben Salem met me in force.
This is one of the live clubs in the
State, and is composed of some of the
best men and women that old North
Carolina produces. They are fully
alive to Alliance principles and are in
favor of making all other questions
subservient thereto. We ere the re
cipients while here of the kind hOspi-
tality of that liberal-hearted and patri-
otto farmer, Mr.. H. B. Currie, and his
excellent family, whom we shall not
soon forget. We also received a hand
some club for our organ, THE PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER. Our visit to NillanOw
Winder and Morse's Hill respectively
is also filled with forced recOllectiOns
Of special favors and many kind acts
shown by the brothers and sisters of
the Alliance. They seem to duly ap-
preciate every word spoken in favor of
the Alliance, and they are neither cold
or lukewarm, but warm, jealous and
active in the work. Our young friend
and brother, Rev. B. c.. Thompson, is
due much of the credit for keeping the
Alliance fires brightly burning in this
section, and in thwarting the efforts of
u enemies in trying to traduce and
damage the order.
Bro. Editor, it is hoped that you will
sound a warning note to the brethren
throughout the State to this effect:
The enemies of the Alliance first tried
to brighten Democrats out Of the ALI
ance by declaring that the order was
created to break down the Democratic
party. Now when their declarations
meet a terrible rebuke, they turn in
g~eniOusly about and with the view of
weakening the Alliance with our Re
publican brethren, declare that the AL
lance is a great thrust at the Republi-
can party, and that there is no differ
ence between a Democrat and an ALI
anceman, can't tell EN- apart, etc.
Those who make these assertions are
50 dull as not to be
able to perceive the effect they
will have on unsuspecting Repub-
licans. In my opinion they are
made with the INSCRIPTIONS design of
damaging the order. Men hover
around the threshold of the Alliance
and pretend to be profoundly impressed
with its great truths and principles.
and when they succeed in gaining the
good will of the brotherhood, some de-
word is let fall like the above.
and the Alliance gets a black eve.
Will not the brethren be on the qui
for all such snares and pitfalls as
our enemies are daily and hourly de
vising1 They aim to SOW discord in
our ranks and destroy our efforts for
advancement of the grandest and
noblest organization ever instituted bv
mortal man. Brethren. while YOU
pray, also watch; keep II eye upon
the enemy. Y. n. SEAwELL.
The Alliance has come to stay. and
politicians may make a note of it.
