EX-PREsIDENT BUTLER.

Having served two terms, President
Butler was not eligible for re election
to the Presidency of the State Alliance.
He was elected to serve on the Execu-
tive Committee, and in that capacity
can render almost or quite as much
valuable aid to the organization as
when President of it.
President Buffers administration has
been an agreeable disappointment to
thousands Of his friends all over the
State. He was not very well known to
many of the brethren when first
elected. Many said he was too young
to pilot such an organization through
the shoals. But they had not measured
the man correctly. The splendid ex-
ecutive ability, brilliant leadership,
pure unselfshness, untiring energy
and pluck displayed from the very
start won the constant admiration of
friends and demoralized all opposition
completely.
Man is not perfect. Perhaps Presi-
dent Butler made mistakes, as anyone
else would have done. If so, we be-
lieve they were mistakes of the head
and not of the heart. When the entire
force of the money power and the
organs of monopoly were thrown
against the Alliance structure, democrat
izing the membership by misrepresen-
tation and by persistent and ingenious
~ prepared plans to create prejudice.
President Butler did not weaken.
When these schemes had apparently
been successful and the organization
seemed to be without a future, he only
worked harder and bore the taunts of
~plutocratic newspapers with martyr
like patience. The membership of the
Alliance has grown less. It is not
the fault of the State officers but owing
entirely to the work of outsiders
and a few traitors within. The Or
der has recovered much of the lost
ground and will go upward all the
time now. What the Alliance has
been in the past and whatever it NAV
be, Bro. Butler will be one of the first
men in it and rise or fall with the
organization, and ever be found in the
thickest of the fight.

OUR NEW OFFICERS.

1t is hardly necessary for us to give
our readers even a brief Introduction
to the new officers of the State ALI
ance, for they are well known, tried,
able and true members.
Bro. J. M. Mewborne, of Lenolr
county, was elected President. He has
held different Offices in the Alliance In
his own county, and to the satisfaction
of all. For several years he has been
a member of the Executive Committee
of the State Alliance. President New
borne does not lack executive ability,
good sense, honesty nor courage. That
covers nearly every inch of the ground.
He will allow no one to surpass him In
zeal for the upbuilding of the Order.
He il as true as steel. Our member
ship can always look to the front for
the banner while it is in his hands.
While not a brilliant orator he Is a fair
speaker and will greatly improve with
practice, being able to meet any man
on the stump in defense of u princi
pies.
The same may be said of the other
new officers elected. The old officers
re elected need no recommendation at
our hands. Col. J. S. Bridges, of Ca
tawba, was elected Vice-President; w.
S. Barnes, re elected Secretary-Trea
urer; w. H, Worth, State Business
Agent; W. A. Graham, Trustee; DR..
Cyrus Thompson, Lecturer; J.. 7. B.
Hoover, Assistant Lecturer; Rev. T. T.
Speight, BERTHE county, Chaplain; John
r. Hancock GuilfUrd county, Ser
geant-at Arms; Geo. T. Lane, Guilford
county, Door keeper; II. E. King,
Onslow county, Assistant Door keeper.
Executive Committee-Marion Butler,
Wayne county, J. J. Long, Columbus
county, A. f. Hileman, Cabarrus
county. Judiciary Committee-N. M.
Culbreth, Columbus county, John
Brady, Gates county, John Graham,
Warren county. Delegates to National
Alliance-M. L. Wood, BERTHE county,
J. H. Sheriff., Catawba county.
1t was impossible to get a full report
of matter that will be made public for
this issue. President Buffers address
and much other important matter will
appear next week.
Seventy eight counties we're repre-
sented by duly elected delegates and
nearly every county made full reports.

BUYING MONEY.

We have been led to believe that the
section of country north of Washing,
ton and east of Chicago is as rich as
cream. True there is an immense
amount of money in that area, but it
is in the hands of a few banks, o:her
corporations and individuals. The stag
nation in business, failures of banks
and closing Of factories have been
greater in that section than elsewhere.
Even in New York City bank and com.
mercial failures have been remarkably
numerous.
This northeastern portion of the
United States has many advantages.
Great cities are scattered throughout
the territory, many of them only a few
miles apart. Every railroad station is
a manufacturing town or city. Riding
on any of the many railroads you look
out and see great factories On every
side. The farms are the most magnif-
cent in America. In Pennsylvania,
Ohio, New York, New Jersey and some
other States the soil is very rich in ad
dition to high artificial improvements
and scientific cultivation. The popula
ton is composed of Yankees in every
sense of the word. They are shrewd,
Industrious, economicaland intelligent.
Yet all that country is plastered with
mortgages and the wretched financial
condition existing is making a wreck
of everything. Strange to say the
greedy millionaires and the newspa-
pers (they are generally owned by mil
lionaires) insist that Congress complete
the disaster so plainly visible. Only a
few days ago bankers in New York
were buying money! Yes, it is true.
Small currency and change became so
scarce that they actually went on the
market and bought it at a premium.
For 1000 they would pay $1,000 in
large bills or checks.
This is n instance where bankers
got hold of the wrong end of the string,
but they can stand it for a while. But
if it should continue a few months per-
haps they would not clamor for the re-
peal of the Sherman law and a lessen
ing of the small currency and silver
dollars. A few carloads of the hated
silver dollars would come in handy
there now, as well as in the South and
West.
