FOR sna following; capt. W. II. Cobb of
0ainesville has disappeared. Il Is said he
is ahead by several thousand dollars, aud
that several loan companies and many
private parties are the sufferers. Capt.
Cobb is well-known lawyer, who has
friends and acquaintance scattered all over
the state. He is captain Of the Piedmont
Rifles OF Gainesville, and sat on the court
martial of Capt. Sneed and others OF the
Gate City Guard. He has been superin-
tsndent OF the Gainesville Baptist Sunday
school for some time, and has stood high in
all respects. Ii seems that for some time
he has been representing loan companies
and lending money to the people around
his home. In many cases he himself repre-
sented no company, but made application
for loans to agents in Atlanta and else
where. In doing this lending he appeared
to get the best of the people for whom it
was gotten, and also the companies from
whom the money was borrowed. For some
time this went on, but few days since it
was decided by number Of people who done
business through Capt. Cobb that they had
been duped long enough aud they proceeded
to start an investigation. As a result sew
eral warrants were sworn out. They were
never served. Some of the captains friends
got wind Of the matter and hid him il The

team wus then procured from a friend liv-
ing in the country near by, and the willy
lawyer was carried almost to Dahlonega.
Here he was left in the woods, and no in

In the face of manifest and wide
spread popular discomfort, and the
real or alleged causes, DR.. Brooks reit-
crates the sentiment, the people
imagine vain things, and indulge in the
belief that the world is all wrong and
everything going to the dogs, " and that
he ''sees nothing to fear in the future.
" He laughs at scars who never felt a wound"
If he believes there is not deep
yelling and spreading popular discon-
tent, based upon suffering and wrong,
he greatly misjudges thereal condition
of affairs, and ignores the efforts for
reform and redress being made all
around him.
We have a great country, and this
is most wonderful age! Yea, this is
the grandest industrial epoch of all the
ages, for
1--WE are the heirs of all the ages,
In the foremost files of time"
and the world has never before wit
messed such grand developments and
achievements, industrial and intellect
ual, as crowd the closing years of the
nineteenth century. Wonderful pro
gress has been made in the production
of wealth, such as Croesus and Solo
mon never dreamed Of. Egypt, Greece
nor Rome, in their palmiest days, ever
witnessed such aggregations of wealth
as center in a few who may be said to
own the government, its lands, houses,
stock, ships and people. But the
strength, stability and real greatness
of anation lie not alone in concentrated
wealth.

The rich mans joys increase, the poors decay,

Between splendid and happy land"
Had 1 time and space, [ could show
how the people are robbed of their
homes, and how fast landless farmers
are incr easing in the United States;
how the insatiate greed of corporate
land -lordism is fast monopolizing
western farming and driving out whole
families, aye, colonies, from home, liv-
ing and happiness. We are fast hasten
ing to that condition so truly described
by Pope:
III fares the land, to fastening il S prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay;
Princes and lords may flourish may fade,
A breath can make them as breath has made;
But bold peasantry, their cOuntrys pride,
When once destroyed can never be supplied"

ELBETHEL N. c.. MAY 25. '91

hLBEIHEL, IN. ", MAY 20, 81
Mr.. EDITOR: AS I have seen nothing
from our section in your esteemed
paper, I will write yon a short letter,
by which your readers may find that
we are trying to keep pace with the
grand army of progress and improve
ment.
The Alliance in this county is strong,
and is moving on quietly and harmoni-
ously with all it's neighbors and is rails
ing no complaint against any one. In
this community the order embraces at
least two-thirds of the voting popUla-
tion and numbers about six lodges,
which we might very appropriately
say grew out Of old Washing Grange,
No. 366.
Our people are taking. no part in
politics as yet, but are busy working
in their fields of corn and cotton. In
due time political heat in all proba-
bility will come over us, and we will
be found standing with those who have
most cautiously considered the sur
roundings.
We have established a JOINT stock
company store in our town of Kings
mountain, and selected brother H. P.
Allison as manager. The plan of this
store is proving very satisfactory to
our people; and the increasing trade
shows that the general public are
pleased. Bro. Allison has also been
elected business agent for the several
Alliances in and around Kings Noun
tain.
The entire fraternity around here
will make an effort to participate in a
grand picnic about the first of August.
Should the committee of arrangements
be successful in obtaining speaker of
national reputation, the success of the
affair is warranted, but if such speaker
cannot be obtained it may be deferred.
II. P. Allison, O. D. B. Ware and J. f.
Herndon are the committee.
By the way, some Of us will go down
to Yorkville on Thursday to hear Bro.
Terrell speak. We are distant from
that place-25 miles.
It will hardly be expected that a
farmer writing mainly to farmers will
write letter and say nothing about
crops. Corn is looking very well and
has been well worked. The acreage in
corn is sufficiently large to yield plenty
of corn for man and beast and some
to spare The small grain crop, both
wheat and oats, are very promising,
and no season lately has the well
prepared" acreage been greater. Cot
ton, till the last few days, never made
a worse start. The seed remained In
the ground so long that In some in
stances they rotted. But now as the
weather has got right" the plant is
coming ont quite much and may do
well yet.

THE Republicans of Kansas are said
to be very much alarmed by the Alli-
ance. Try as hard as we may, we
cannot work ourselves up to the point
of either feeling or expressing any SYM
pathy for the Republicans of Kansas.
The legislation brought forward and
passed by the Republican party has
been so constantly and so meanly hos
tile to the interests of the farmer that
we feel like laughing at those Kansas
Republicans when their fear cometh.
For twenty-five years the Kansas Re
Publicans have been sowing the drag
Ons teeth; and now, when at last they
are made to see that they must reap
the harvest of their sowing, they get
frightened. Very early in the records
of natural history it appears that there
were certain animals born who could
never get their eyes open until after
they were drowned. The Kansas Re
publicans seem to bear a remote kin
ship to that celebrated genus of ami
mails.

A FALSE impression has been made
upon the minds of some good men in
North Carolina against the Alliance
men in the last legislature, by the
statements in some of the papers that
those members of the Alliance took
part in a scheme to get the books of
certain monopolists used in the public
schools. We know what we say, and
we say emphatically that there is not
one word of truth in the statements
that have been made rejecting upon
the last legislature. The books chosen
by the Board Of Education are not
trust books in any sense, and all the
charges of jobbery are false.

Captain Edward Reeve has the con-
tract to light the beacon on the break
water near Greenport, Me-, every night
On Monday, while pulling leisurely
toward the breakwater, he was attracted
by commotion in the water near him
He rested on his oars and looked to see
what it was. He saw what looked like
the hard shell back of monster sea
turtle \ moment later he saw the head
and eyes of the strange object As the
head protruded above the surface the
water was chu1ned into foam by the
Tapping of what appeared to be long
t1lppers. The head OF the marine animal
was covered with protruding horns.
The monster came toward the boat
and apparently meditated an attack,
when the captain hit at it with ;2n oar.
1t paid no attention to this assault but
ran its head against the boat with a
force that caused the skiif to keel over.
The captain weighs over goo pounds and
managed to keep the Eoat right side up
Then the fight became fierce. The tide
was carrying the contestants toward the
breakwater One after the other the oars
We're broken by the captain py striking
on the hard back of the monster Final
ly, without anything to defend himself,
the captain managed to throw Il moose
over a projecting rock on the breakwater
and so pulled himself ashore.
The monster continued its attacks on
the boat. and remained in the vicinity
for some time after the boat had been
drawn up out of the way. When last
seen the ferocious marine monster was
