TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS

DEAR FRIENDS: The death of Col.
Polk makes it necessary that the affairs
of his estate be settled. We can no
longer look to him for any income to
help In dull seasons to pay the bills of
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, but on the
other hand we must settle up some
large accounts we owe, and settle
them at once, too, or have trouble and
extra expense. Not only are there ac-
counts against THE PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER that must be met, but there are
also other bills, and quite large ones,
too, which we have to meet. Now if
our subscribers will be as faithful to
us as we have been and expect to con
tlnue to be to them, we will be able IN
a very short time to get all these mat
ters settled and go right on battling for
the people. We did not think we
would make any urgent call upon our
subscribers to pay up back dues and
renew until later in the fall, but this
necessity Is now laid upon us, and we
feel Confident the good brethren will
not'lay this paper down and neglect
and forget our present needs. We
have prepared table above which
shows the date of ca IN issue of the pa
per since Jan. 1, 1891, and up to June
II, 1892, the date of Col. Polk's death.
Your label may not contain one of
these dates, but it may contain date
falling in this period embraced in the
table. If so, you owe us something,
and to find the amount look on the
table for the date on your label, or the
date preceding the date on your label,
and opposite this date will be the fig
ures showing the exact amount you
were due The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
when Col. Polk died These little
amounts due us, If oil paid IN Gt once,
will help us straighten out all our press
ing obligations that promise us trouble
if not settled at once.
Brother and friend, this statement
of the case is before you, and though
it may be hard for you to raise a dol
lar or two dollars, or even a smaller
amount now, will it not be much easier
for you to do it than for us to lose
$4, O0O 90 or $5,OOO.OO on account of
your failure2 If you find the amount
you owe is less than $1.OO, send 81. 90
before August goth, 1892, and we will
enter you up a year and an extra
month. If 1t is more than $1.OO and
less than $500 you owe, send 81 90 and
we will enter you up two years
and two months extra. Send us not
Only your own IGI0"OtA, ONU SOV up q
club and send along with it. You can
do much good in your community by
circulating this paper. In writing us
always give the amount sent, and the
name of the postoftice to which your
paper is going, and your own name
plainly written. Let us hear from you
at once, please. Yours,

Business Manager.

CHEESE, MAKING.

During the spring of 1892 Mr.. @. E.
Rittenger, Powell, S. D., advertised
rennet and directions for making
cheese, in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
A sample package of the rennet lozen-
ges was sent to that paper and by the
editor sent to the Experiment Farm
for trial.
A cheese was made, following the di-
rections, which we consider entirely
satisfactory.
The directions are short, plain and
pointed, and it seems true, as Mr.. K.
says, that any person of ordinary in
telligence can make good cheese by
following his directions, from good
milk to start with.
Cheese making would be quite a
novelty in many a North Carolina
town. 1t is so simple and 80 little out
lay need be made in preparation for it
that every family having milk can well
afford to make cheese for home con-
sumption at least. Where there is too
little milk for a moderate-sized cheese,
two or three families could pool their
milk and alternate in making first at one
place and then at another, or get one
of the members to make for all. Al
most no apparatus is required. We
had on tin hoop made; a peck meas
ure would have done as well, and we
made our own knife.
This would be capital way to dis,
pose of surplus milk during the hat
weather when butter is so low in price
Cheese improves with age and is al
ways salable, while on our market it is
worth the freight and wholesalers
profit more than on the Northern mar
kets where most of the cheese consumed
in this State is made.
This should be something of an in
centive to try cheese making and save
trouble with soft butter in hot weather.

THE ALLIANCE IN VIRGINIA.
Mecklenburg, Va, Ablaze.

MeCklenDuTg1 NaJ ADIazSs
Mr.. EDITOR: Thinking your readers
would like to hear from Virginia, I
thought a short account of our meeting
yesterday in Boydton would be inter-
esting to them. Bro. J. Brad Beverly,
State Lecturer, was advertised to be In
Boydton on the 9th, and although no
posters were stuck up-simply the
Lecturers appointment IN the Virginia
Sun-yet early in the day, despite the
scorching rays of July sun, the yeO-
manry of the land, with their wives and
daughters, began to appear at an early
hour, and by II o'clock-the hour for
speaking "a large crowd assembled,
anxious for the speaking to begin.
Bros. Beverly and Hobson, the old
vet," as the latter is called, were
escorted to the stand, and at - o'clock
Bro. Beverly was introduced in a few
fitting words by Col J. Thomas Goode.
He was greeted with great applause.
The speaker said he had been accused
by some as going through the State
making Third party speeches as Lee
turer Of the State Alliance. Well, he
said he was State Lecturer, and also
a member of the Peoples party, whose
badge he then wore. He then went on
SIlO" OIl6bb OIl0 AllLb4CO uoSO OAOISO
their demands to both the old parties
with the promise that it would support
either one that assisted them. Both
had refused, when the Alliance had
notified them at the same time if they
refused they would not support them.
The Peoples party had adopted the de-
mands as their platform; it came to
the Alliance, the Alliance did not go to

would you think of me as your State
Lecturer, if I were to speak against
this party because they had adopted
our demands9 Gould you think me
fool enough to speak in behalf of the
party that had refused our demands
/ would be the worst of partisans to do
So" He went on to say that whatever
others might do at the coming election
In November, he should cast his ballot
for those demands by voting for Weaver
and Field. [Great applause
Right here let me say that in this
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1892-08-23

respect Virginia has a great advantage
of the State Alliance in that they have
stood by the Democrats, from their
State President down, and support the
Peoples party not as partisans, but
because it has adopted their demands
as their platform. I can't see for the
life of me how any true Allianceman
can do otherwise.
The speech of Bro. Hobson was sound
to the core; he was at his best He
said had already met the enemy on
several fields; that he had been think
ing of employing some of their speak
ers to go around with him. He men
toned that at one of his appointments
he asked the Democratic orator Ques-
ton and he took one hour and half
of his time to reply. He asked the au-
dience to hear him patiently, and
when the orator finished, before he
could get up reply, nine men walked
up to the stand and said they were
Democrats, but if that was Democracy
they asked for nine Peoples party
badges. He said the man was com
pletely whipped by his own speech, and
said he had heretofore been the leader
IN the county. Beverly said the above
was true.
At another place the Democrats had
another of their big guns. He excused
himself, Bro. Hobson said, by saying
he appeared at a disadvantage; that
Hobson was in the house of his friends;
to which Hobson replied that he was
going to stay there through the cam
paign.
l wished SO much the Dispatch re-
porter and the NelUS and Observer
hn NO
Dispatch, you know. said the Alliance
was broken up in Mecklenburg. He
would have changed his mind yester-
day.
One of the moss back politicians said
if John w. Daniel had been advertised
to speak in Boydton, there would not
have been two dozen of those people
to hear him. He was against them,
would be the reason. The meeting
was a grand success
It was the writer's good pie Asure to
attend a picnic at Oaks, in the same
county, last Saturday The woods
were full of carriages, buggies, wagons;
the ladies and gentlemen turned out in
full force. There we're five Peoples
party speeches made that day, which
were enjoyed by the audience They
are all one way up there.
After the speeches were over, very
much to his surprise, the writer was
called for by a number of people, and
not being able to refuse to do anything
he could for the good people of Oaks
neighborhood-for they are his par
ticuIar friends-he told them the audi
ei1ce was tired of sDeeches, but there
was one thing he would Ike &c knew:
How they stood politically. Now"
he said, "all who are in favor of
Weaver and Field reform for President
and Vice President, ladies and gentle
men, will please rise. 1t looked as if
the whole crowd stood up. He said he
hated to put the negative vote, as it
might make some one feel badly, but
they might say he didn't treat them
fairly, so he said I" all in favor of Cleve-
land or Harrison and hard times, stand
up" No one stood up. He declared
the vote una limous and the meeting
adjourned.
The dinner was abundant and the
most elegant ever saw.

FROM WILSON COUNTY.

Mr.. EDITOR In the State Chronicle
of August 9th notice in large head
lines the following: Third partyites
meet in convention at various places
in the State. The attendance very
thin. Republicans, negroes and dis
gruntled Democrats participate. " Then
follows an account of several Peoples
party meetings held on August 9th;
among them is the following account
in full from our meeting in Wilson:
WILSON COUNTY ALL RIGHT.
WILSON, N. c., Aug. 6.-The Third
partyites of Wilson met here to day
and elected delegates for the Third

convention was called and a full county
ticket will be nominated. About fifty
Third party men were present. After
the convention adjourned the crowd IN
the court house was addressed by
Council Wooten, Esq, who made an
extreme speech. He was replied to by
Hon. Jno. E. Woodard ON behalf OF
the Democrats. Woodard spoke clio

LETTER FROM PAMLICO.
OLYMPIA. ~. @.

OLYMPIA, N. -.
Mr.. EDITORIALS it has been some
time since you heard from us, please
allow space for a few lines from Provi-
dence Alliance, No. /, ,658, Pamlico Co.
We are progressing slowly but steadi-
ly. We had one application the last
meeting.
We organized a commissary with a
small capital stock the first of May
which has been in operation ever since
with very beneficial results to the
whole body. If each Sub-Alliance
would organize a commissary it would
prove very beneficial to them, provided
they work with a capital stock, for I
think it could not not prove much sue
cess otherwise.
AS for politics we are quiet, but
watching the movements Of the wa
ters. We had our rally at the primary
and county meetings. Our Alliance
men, with some outsiders, could not
swallow the resolutions of Mr.. Ed. O..
Smith at the primary, which caused a
division. There were about eight
"straightouts out of 33 who had a
stump meeting while the remainder
held their meeting, as they have al
ways been doing. From the primary
they went to the county meeting, but
the committee on credentials did not
give the "straightouts" a seat in the
convention and they did as before
held stump meeting.
We are few in number but are the
simon pure.
Fraternally,
r. @. HOLTON.

AN APPEAL.
TUCKAHoE, N. G.

IUCKAHOE, N. =.
At a regular meeting of Pleasant
Hill Alliance, No 208, we, the under
signed, were appointed a committee to
appeal to the brethren throughout the
State to aid our worthy brother and
County Business Agent, Luther King,
who, on the 9th day of April, 1892, lost
from his pocket $3.50. Bro. King had
ordered some goods from our State
Business Agent and was going to send
the money to him that day Bro.
King is a member of Pleasant Hill Al
lance, No. 208, in good standing, and
is young man just started In life. He
is a poor man with wife and two.
small children to support, and it is i'm
possible for him to replace the loss.
Brethren, we have full confidence In
Bro. Kings honesty and we think it
the duty of as all as brethren in the
Alliance to help him out of his trouble,
as it will not be missed by us if we will
all help little and it will be a great
help to our distressed brother. He will
be literally helped from this Alliance
and we hope all the rest will help him
some. ALI contributions may be sent
to the Secretary of Pleasant Hill Alli-
ance, John Small, Jr., Tuckahoe, n. @.
Brethren, 1t is impossible for Bro.-King
to see you all and tell how it happened,
so we requested him to make a state
ment which is as follows:
