here assembled. think II best Tor our

and quickly IN such an ORGANIZATION as our IN
terests and objects will not be N conrlct with
those OF our brother farmers IA other branches
OF agriculture: therefore
Res lyed. That we establish mere an indie
pendent farmers organization. with constltu-
ton and bylaws. aud only admit such 70
membership as are directly engaged IN to-
baccO raising IN the border counties OF the
States Of Virginia and North Carolina.
The Border Alliance Is % sort OF district
organization. holding a midway position be-
tween the sub-Alllances and the State organi-

influential and more powerful than the state
Alliance oi either Virginia or North Carolina:
Some OF its members thought II able 20 STAND
as one and be an organization unto ltsell'

Mr.. Swami. the author of them. and
other members who thought as ne
did. strongly advocated their adop-

jority. Yesterday the Pelham sub-Alliance
held "a meeting and reafirmed the swami res0-
luton and condemned the Border Alliance Tor
setting down on the same. and not only asked
but demanded that they should have another
hearing. The probabilities are that thee
resolutions will create a split IN the Alliance
family and cause a lot of trouble.
