trip to Davidson. We found every
a. We only had intended To stop for
Il short time we did not think il I'M
portaat that we should inquire about
all the rules and regulations of the
school. But in talking round we
found the college was building a
large dam near the chapel 10 ineor-
ate body of water for college
lake, and We also learned that each
student was required 10 roll wheel
barrow or shovel dirt one hour eaen
day in addition TO his other studies.
Well. this knocked US out on the
first round, for there has been from
our youth up some things called
work that we never had any voice
for, and one of them is rolling a one
time we had been mixing up with
professors and students. We now
cast about for other company. We
| found some old hayseeders and we
are sorry TO say We saw a great
many of them hauling guano away
from the depot by the ton. We had
hoped we would see commercial fer
tilizer get the go by this spring
again as it did last. but alas, the lit
tie rise in cotton last fall has turned
many of our farmers wild. We i'm
agine we could hear them singing as
they drove home with their wagons
loaded with the measly stuff this
song, ''In the sweet by and by &c.
We think we can hear them next
fall bringing in their first and best
fruits to pay for it. 1t is sung with
their heads lowered towards the
earth.
Lord pity us once more. Now,
gentlemen, every indication is that
the present administration will give
the screws another turn, and money
to handle the next crop will be
scarcer than it is to-day. What en-
-couragement have you for the big
crop of cotton you are planting?
Well, not outstanding the big crop
of guano being bought, and the big
crop of guano that is going to be
planted, the old hayseeders are keep
ing themselves posted on passing
events. They are particularly well
posted on the work of the million
dollar-well, we have no name for
them. You know it was that crowd
that went to Raleigh last winter and
danced out $400 of your money, and
they are not fussing about them not
doing Legislature, that is what they
called themselves anything for the
benefit Of the laboring man, did not
| expect anything at their hands, but
they did think they would be decent
enough to keep their unholy hands
off of the only organization the
farmers have ever had that has been
worth one cent to them. But they did
not assail it on its political or social
points, but hunted about in the dark
with closed doors when the old farm
ers were asleep-many of them
dreaming, no doubt, of the fowery
promises made on the stump, and
they found in one corner of the char
ter OF the farmers organization what
is called the Business Agency, that
made it possible for the farmers to
get coffee at 20 cents when he would
have paid 70 cents, sugar at 4 cents
where he would have paid 6 cents
and all of his other supplies at the
same reduced prices. Then thew
drew the cowardly dagger and went
for that as much as to say, you old
foods shall not have any advantages
IN trade, and to make the thing more
odlons among decent people some of
the heelers IN the move are in debt to
the Business Agency for the meat on
their bones and refuse to paw it.
| Well, all this the old hayseeders
know, and know it we'll,
These are some of the remarks
being made: One old Allianceman
said he would kill his old family dog
II he ever condescended to bark at
one OF the men who were in that d.
abollcal plot. He said he would not
feed dog that had no more respect
for himself. Another old Alliance
man asked us if it would be a viola
ton OF the Alliance charter to plant
his cotton seed in the dark of the
moon. We told him it would unless
he voted right, for the bill was
Matched in the dark and we give
him as an opinion that to be on the
safe side he should plant in the light
OF the moon. One old Allianceman
says he saw one of the returned
members from his county the other
day and he looked as lonesome as
narrowed pup and as gentle as a
sucking pig and he did not believe
he could tell one of the ten com
mandments from bylaw of a base
ball club.
