A Big Progressive Euchre Party al

A progressive euchre party was given in
the Olympia hotel parlors this afternoon
by the Ladies Relief society for the pur-
pose Of replenishing the depleted trsasury
Of the society. Anticipating the demand
that will be made upon their resources
during the coming winter, the ladies have
taken time by the forelock and are making
such preparation as they can for the emer-
gencies that are sure to arise. Although
the euchre party was open to the public,
over 150 special invitations had been is
sued. Each player was required to con-
tribute 25 cents to the relif fund of the or
ganization. In this way money was Sc.
cured to be used as the ladies deemed best.
The parlOr was filled with card tables and
many of the leading ladies Of Olympia
were thus brought together in a social event
that was made all the more enjoyable be.

HAVE NEWSPAPERS A POSITIVE
VALUE2

In view of the plans which some Of
our contemporaries adopt for keeping
up their circulation it is almost proper
to ask whether, after all, agricultural
papers have anything like an appreci-
able actual value. When reputable
journals are offered with special in
ducements to subscribers which are
alleged to be worth fully as much as
the journals themselves, (and the whole
at a cOfessedly low price,, when papers
are offered for a series of months at
100 and 15c per subscription, and when
inducements of every kind are held
out in the shape of extras thrown in
with subscriptions, the question of
actual value in the papers themselves
is especially pertinent. If a paper has
a positive value why not In a business
like way fix that price and adhere to
it? Why not have some plan of opera
tion upon which the public can depend?
Why SO juggle with the matter of
newspaper prices as to completely de-
strOy any popular idea as to what a
paper is really worth? We want to
say right here without hesitation that
many publishers of agricultural jour
nails have in a business way been SOW
ing the wind in the last few years in a
way which must yield a rich crop of
whirlwind a few years later. We
believe in placing publications in the
hands of readers just as cheaply as
they a be legitimately produced, but
when, in the hope of making up the
loss in some other way, publishers con-
fessedly offer their journals at vastly
less than the cost of production, they
are pursuing a policy which must dis
as~triously affect the public apprecia
ton of the article which they offer.

WHAT JEFFERSON WROTE.

Those shameless sharks ought to
think what Thomas Jefferson wrote to
President Adams January "a, 1914, as
follows:
Il have ever opposed money of
banks; not of those discounting for
cash, but Of those foisting their own
paper into circulation, and thus ban
ishing our cash. My zeal against those
institutions was so warm and open at
the establishment of the bank of the
United States that l was derIded as
a maniac by the tribe Of the bank
leechers Shall we build an altar to
the old paper money of the revOlu
ton, which ruined individuals but
saved the republic, and burn on that
all the bank charters, present and
future, and their notes with them9
For these are to ruin both the republic
and individuals.

AN AGRICULTURAL CRISIS
ABROAD.

A great deal is said, and justly said,
about the difficulties under which
American agriculture has been labor
ing for a number of years. However,
we have never believed that the situa
ton was as bad as in many places
abroad. The last number of the Mark
Lane Express, commenting upon the
situation in the Unite d Kingdom,
speaks of a serious crisis in agricul
ture, the best evidence of which it be-
lieves to be the largest number of
farms which are b. ing given up all
over the country, and for which new
tenants will be wanted this winter. "
Oar contemporary also believes that
the result will be that many will fail
to find tenants, and that all connected
with the land will have a bad time be
fore them in the near future" This is
a picture which beggars the worst stu
alton yet known on this side of the At
lantic. Exchange.

cATAwBA COUNTY ALLIANCE

The Catawba County Alliance met in
Newton last Thursday, the 18th inst,
Owing to the very busy season, the
county canvass that day, the attend
M was small. For some cause the
President was not present. The Vice
President was at the Morganton fair
with his stock, and hence he was not
present. The Alliance was called to
order by the chairman of the executive
committee, Col. H. A. Forney. Six
Alliances failed to be represented, but
from what we hear these all, except
one, are all right and determined In
the Alliance work. w. II. Rocket
was made chairman pro tenn. and L
Fl. Shuford was elected Vice, President
pro tenn. The reports of the several
officers for the quarter were read and
received. Especially the report of the
committee on the Good of the Order
was good and their speeches inspiring
Everything was harmonious Never
before in the history of Catawba
County Alliance did it have a session
more harmonious throughout The
only rivalry was in the vote on the
place of the next meeting, which was
between Catawba, Conover and Min
erva School house. The latter won
and will have the pleasure of enter
tanning it the coming January. We
expect a full attendance and a good
time with those faithful brethren of

NEW BERNE, N O., Nov. %. 1879.
Ny DEAR SR:-While on my way
home recently, | talked to Col Ball as
l have approached Judge Dick In ref
erence to the prosecutions agains6~my
neighbOr Cobb. I understood that
they were abandoned, and | feel salts
fed ought O to have been instituted,
and in fact they were founded on in
formation given Col. Chapman by men
who suspected that Cobb had aided
Bryan in detecting them. know that
Cobb has no inclination to continue
running a government distillery and
has hoped all the time that he would
be ultimately vindicated and restored
to the position from which he was re
moved. He did not speak to me when
at home about it. but / think he ought
to be restored. [ know you could not
have acted differently while Chapman
vas urging the prosecution. l still be
lieve that if Col Chapman had left
him undisturbed, he and Bryan would
have done more to put an end to block
aiding than all others combined have
ever done l think, too, that he has
probably been injured Oy inuendo, if
not direct SANDER by some persons who
hoped to be benefited by his displace-
ment. He has a family, is poor, and
needs assistance. He gave up his bust
ress and was encouraged to hope for
permanent employment, when he took
a position under the government,
whereas there has been a constan fire
upon him, which has kept him out of
service and hard run nearly all the
time. 1 know him we'll; l believe him
to be an honest man and a good citizen,
and I think that the government would
be benefited as we'll as Cobb by giving
him employment. l unhesitatingly
recommend him, and would, if I could,
shoulder for you any responsibility
you may take in doing him favor.
This is a voluntary request made for
a neighbor and personal friend, and l
should feel personally obliged if you
could grant it. Yours truly,

used. The latter could be constructed with
double tracks for S12, 900 mile. OF course
the farmers will not be educated up to the
standard necessary to enable them to build
them during this century, but they might
be induced to assist if they knew the value
that would be added to their
farms Ralph Bagaley states that
he has seen traction engines IN
England haul 100 tons up heavy grades, ana
do it with ease and considerable speeo.
This was on an ordinary macadamlzed road
and these engines would turn within their
own length. Of course, to use effective en-
gines would require stronger bridges than
are found on some highways, but this mat.
ter could easily be remedied. Mr.. HAYS. OF
Hays 6 Lowry, states that grades 40o feet
to the mile could be overcome successfully
BY these wagon-road engines, so there woulo
be very little change needed in the grade OF
most roads in this county. This is sup
ported br the fact that in the Allegheny
Mountains Pennsylvania Railroad locomo-
tives overcome grades 800 feet to the mile
and draw heavy loads, and an ordinary loco
motive draws 20 empty cars mp the Moon
Run Railway, which has an average grade
OF 81 feet to the mile.
Hauling Over Present Roads Don't Pay.
Now it has been demonstrated by farmers
possessedof good brains, intelligence, business
ability and ample finances, that farming
ten miles from Pittsburg, where transporta-
tion must be over our wagon roads, does
not pay and the bad roads are the principal
cause, as one-third the price of ton OF hay
is expended in bringing it to market. The
lateral railroads that run up the valleys do
not help the matter, as to use them nay
must be baled as cost OF s5
a ton, then hauled to the road at
cost of another dollar and then two freights
and terminal charges amounting to 81 more,
which charges combined eat up half the
value of the product. Hay is about the
most profitable crop a farmer few miles
from the city can raise, and yet he cannot
compete with growers west of the Mlsslss-
ippi. Then passenger fares on the lateral
railroads are so high as to be an important
item. There are points within nine miles
of the business center of Pittsburg from
which it costs half dollar to come by rail
All these difficulties could be overcome
were tram roads built and engines used,
and beside the hundreds of thousands of
tons of fertilizer that are annually dumped
into the rivers, fouling them so that
game fish do not thrive, could
be prohtably distributed and deodor-
lied on farms that have become
too poor to grow weeds and will scarce raise
mortgages. Much of the productive wealth
of the country is consumed in the mainten-
ance of horses, and the greater portion OF
them could be displaced by steam power at
a cost for fuel less than half the cost OF feed
necessary to maintain the animals
A ton of nails can be sent to New Or
leans from this city for S. and by rail at
some 50 more, and that ton hauled by horse
power would cost $500, and, proportioned to
distance, the cost for five miles on our
wagon roads during an ordinary winter is
still greater
