The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1892-04-05

There is a demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. ". A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. Tho title is THE FARMER's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition Nf the farmer in various
parts Of ~ country, and compures it with the
condition of men in other callings5 He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In a clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of "The Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale OF
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium OF
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
THE FARMERS SIDE has just been issued,
and makes q handsome and substantial book
of 28O pages. We have arranged with the pub
fishers for its sale to our readers at the pub
Iishers' price. The book may be obtained at
our office, or we will forward copies to any
address, postpaid, on receipt of $l.Oo per copy.

Notes From the Pea Ridge Capitol

KELrox. March THE farmers have
teen at work with q vim and . rush for The
last week or so. there has been more work
don. M =" d-'c =;=@. c:.. ;-;-.a, ,nan wa
done last year up 10 the middle Of April.
The farmers seem to Re We y cautious about
buying guaro tbi, yea, and they have csuSe
TO lie fearful.
Oats ars looking well; wheat is not 80
promising. but it has good chance to make
coed crop yet -
sfr. r. @. Hauey says thst here.ofore thc
has been trying to AJAX g money but now he
is going to work TO make gooI living. Mr..
Hany is preparing in the right way to carry
out his intentions by breaking, be Ling and
rebedding his land.
Uncle Wash Cault, as he i, generally
called, is rot much Of a railroad mn. lie is
now in his eighty fourth year, anl never
took n ri de on the cars until few days ago,
when he to,k a notion to visit some of his
Srartauburg friends. He kal an only
brother who lived /, b; - year, oil and
never rode on -ailrns'l, SO you can see
that the o,d set CT that large and respec'sb
family of Gau'ts were II, glu'tons ah 'ut r'i-
roads, and most of The younger ones arc
ch ps OF the old block.
Mr.. J. L. Kelly and family is on q visit TO
friends and relatives on Pea Ridge, AMI will
return to Spartanburs tomorrow.
Now, mr. Editor, you SAID l forgot the
tariff in my division Of profits; you further
said that it was the foreign goods that come
in competition With home manufactured
goo Is that had to pay the tariff If that be
the case the home manufacturers ought to
sell home manu- iac,urel goods rs cheap ~
| foreign gools. If l understand your IAN
guaec, there is no tir,f on home manufsc-
| tured cotton CLOTH but there is no use to
talk about such things SO long as we cleo,
men to make our laws who are more for
! money than honor and the COOL of the peo-
! pie. BY the way, that makes me think of
the various pers nal notices that / real in
different papers, saying honorable" so and
so was at a certain place at certain time.
1t should read in many Of tho cases, honnred
go and so. for there is many of them who
are ouly honorcd and not honorable.

signed by J. W. Gregory, has BEEN ea,Iede

of the 9th January in Pie State, which seem,
to have given this iumac ilate ron-ofico
seeker so much otferse. deera il my duly TO
reply: -
The facts seem 10 be against Mr. Gregory.
Mr.. Gregory did not reply 10 my arsieIc
until after Gov. Til'msn had not sppsiuted
Mr.. Gregory, AMI sesen or ten days sfter uy
piece came out. / had heard tho report "a
all .idcs, and IN my article / said IL had
been reliably informe" about Mr.. Gregory s (
wanting the Trcasurer's rositioo. And
will say here was not informed by any one
but n strong Tillmanite.
Since my return l have been informed by
rery reitaJic person that MIR. John W.
Gregory, who says he w.s not a candidate
for the position Of CDuuty IRE .surer, uas
candidate, api made his application anI
wants known in the Office of Mr.. A. Cl,
Lyics a few days before the delegation met at
Jonesvilic. My informant, No. 2, s,ii,
"wheu saw Mr.. Gregory's piece l thought

knew he VAS n candidate
Mr.. Gregory, think again. Don't say you
you were not canoi ra'c, because you
didn't get the place, for two GOO men
T,lmtn men-tol Inc you wers don't
know myself, but have every reason to
believe you were candidate, after what L
have heard from your o,en .triesds and sup
portsrs.
Mr.. Gregory, the non office seeker, will
not dcoy he had a talk with Mr.. Jefferies at y,
Santuc, the day Mr.. J.ff%rics came up from
Columbia.
Mr.. Gregory, wi no. deny he toll
Mr.. J. B. T. Scott he intended t, oppose
him in the race thi, yc,r.
Mr.. Gregory, truthful rs lie is, will not
deny he endcavored to get Mr.. Sc,tt to
promise him he would not oppose him.
do not consider thers is any question of

This Is too broad . subject to tackle to-day.

majority, and The Democratic party para.
lyzed, split into factions and quarreling with
one another. Here como In local sni diver
si6ed interests The Democrats Of Massachu-
sets and Nebraska have not the same interc t.
ny the Democrats Of South Carolina. Whether
the country 10 10 be divided on lines Of South
and West and North and East. don't know
Tho trend Is In that direction. The
North western men are saying TO us "C0me
over" but we, who are confronted with the
Rep piblicau party determined to force negro
government upon us by a force bill, haso
got 10 stand by the Democratic party Of the
North and East.
But l nm getting inta politics, and must
stop.
There cannot be any reasonable and just
antagoDism between the Alliance and other
classes. Our interests are all identical.
Unless the farmers prosper all go by the
board There is no antagonism except with
the bOndh0lders and bankers OF the North
and Fast. There is no reason Why we should
not all hold together. There are diyi i'ipns OF
| sentiment in tho Alliance itself as to rhs
best ends. Many dispute about how TO
| reach point; but NE should not fight
because We may choose to go by different
r. ads. Tho third party, that wGs born

day before yesterday, has no considerable

if the Northwest proves it's words by
its acts, then we can cast about what I,

Riverside Ripp.es.

RIVERSIDE March s.-Mr. Euitor.-News
Eotcs on Riverside are few ani very scatter
ing. Farmers are busily engaged preparing
for another crop, and flrmwork is now about
3 weeks in advance of last yc,r. Less guam,
will be used and less cotton will be planted.
More hog and hominy on the one hand
and greatly reduced expenses on the other,
will put farmers in better shape another
year. One great trouble that confron's the
farmer is back Indebtedness. All agree n It
cotton cannot DO grown q, and cents, but
say, OH top Of this, that they must make cot
ton in order to pay debts. Times are little
hard. but nothing like as hard as thcy are
in Russia. Yet We have reason to be proud
of our good old State aud county. We eau
always hear of starvation in other countries,
but never in old South Carolina.

Texas yesterday. Mr.. Love m!y timd

in other respects. JOE.

asA- In noticing The fac. that MIR. Pa
mcr had declined to accept the position of
Treasurer Of this County, The state, of Tues
day, says:
Gov. Tillman says that the removed treas
urer has used al the funds avail able for this
yoar, and nothing is left to pay the salary Of
any person appointed to fill the unexpircl
term. Nc more salary is available till next
year, ana the Governor intends to try and
get some one to do the work as n labor of
love.
Many people may construc the above iuto
charge against Mr.. Scott that he had
~romgia. or Jfaudnlently "usei all the fu nds
available for This year" etc. but that is far
from the truth, AMI those who 80 cons,rue
it. do great Injustice to Mr. Scott. The
facts nra as follows:
The rrcasurer's s'lary is pail in Commits
sirns upon the amounts he collects, and can
not be over $500. The commissions are
graduated as follows: Upon the first SlO,-
OOo, he receives per cent, uron tho next
$4,000, > per cent, and on all above that
l per cent. Mr.. Scot. had collected about
SIG, 900 when lie was suspended, AMI the law
plenty entitled him TO the commissions unon
the collections he had made.
The ircsent condition cf the f,irs in the

Ex-Auditor Morgan's Explanation.

E~-auuitor morgan explanation.
Mr.. EDITOR: Please permit me through
the TINES to make a brief explanation of the
Investigation made of the Auditors books
at my request, corduc'ci by Mr. Leonard
Williams.
Treasurer Scott and Mr.. Williams both
fail in one particular, which / will show in
my statement, to exonorate and do Justice
to me in the credits allowei by Auditor on
the nuiia bona and non est executions, or
should have remained silent.
1t is charged that the Auditor gave the
Treasurer credit for the f.cal years 1867
1878, 1882, of 500. 20 more than the
Treasurer was entitled to. Just at this point
expert Williams aud Treasurer Scott shon ID
have state why Auditor allowed the credit
of TG9Io; which WIS simply from the fact
that that amount was allowed by rhr Sheriff
and so tnlrrscd, as all the other credits
were, iii the Shcritfs own hand writing. and
if il was on error, should the AUDITOR be
made responsible, in face of the fact that the
Shcrn's endorsement is By law the Auditors
guide?
The Auditor is charged with not adding
go per cent penat on delinquent tax
returns, an | in almost the same breath the
expert says the Auditor kncw n0Mny of il
unit! pail, and reported by the Treasurer.
Then, hoY, | ask, con!d he att,ch the
penalty?
Lastly, it is ch1rgcd that the Auditor
failed to furniSh an abstract Of the additional
list ut the lr per time: which ,he Auditor
admits is correct, but claims that the delay
was caused by n pro:ractcd spell ofsickness.
Those arc the findings" or charges against
me, after close three weeks investigation
of the books aud papers Of the Auditors
office, fr sic years work Of the Amiitor al
Of which | will more fully explain at tie
proper tine.
This brief st"ieWent | n ost respectfully
submit to the tax payers OF Union County,
with no i'll will to any one in the matter
My soc object is to exon"ra,e myself from
the errors and mistakes of others.
Respectfully,
