ing [ am sure we could reach the
height we were before the campaign.
Some Of the leading Democrats said in
their speeches during the campaign
that the Peoples party was going to
cause the Republicans to get in power
and we would then have laws as we
did about 1868, the carget-bag rule, "
they called it, but don't think the Re
publicans could have gotten any nearer
it than they did by meddling with our
| trade system, the right arm of the Ali
ance. thought they did meanness
enough during the campaign to rest
awhile, but it seems that they were not
the least worried.
If convenient I would like to see,
through your paper, a list of tn 2se who
have Ora VII their stock from the
Agency.
Bro Ramsey, I would like to tell
you the meanness and rascality that
was done at our election precinct last
November, but it has passed and would
require much space, therefore will not
attempt it.
What has become Of the Polk Mem
0rial fund? havn't seen anything in
regard to it in some time. That Is some
thing we ought not to fail to contribute
to. A man that has done as much for
his people and country as Col. Polk
ought surely to have monument to
his memory, and besides all others it
would be a great consolation to his
good family. Ivisit6d his grave when
at the convention and saw nothing but
q mound Of clay. 1t made me shed
tears to look upon that mound and
think Of the one that lay beneath it
but he IS lost to bis counTy, lost to his
family and lost to Us oil.
I will close with best wishes 10 you
and your paper and also TO Bros. Den
mark, Worth, Barnes, Butler and all
| true refOrners.
Respectfully, J. J. 8.

Aluminium is to be used for making
horse shoes. The metal is as durable
as iron and not one fourth as heavy.
\ Michigan farmer paid $245 for 145
acres OF swamp land which he planted
in peppermint, and this year his in

When you make underdrains, be sure
also to make a map locating perfectly

Be careful in breeding the stock, A
single mistake made in the selection Of
an animal for breeding purposes may
cause years Of labor to correct:
Tile and other drainage should en-
gage the attention Of our farmers.
Low, swampy places are often rich and
bring fine crops if properly drained.
It pays to have sharp tools, even if
you have to stop on your busiest day
to sharpen them. But a wise farmer
puts his tools in order on rainy days
Farm teams should match III size,

Millions of consumers make the bar

MOORE COUNTY MEETING.

Mr.. EDITOR The following resolu
tions were adopted by the Moore county
T. A and 1 U. at it's regular quarterly
session held at Carthage, April 18Th,
1898:
WHEREAS, We have learned from
various sources that a new organiza-
ton of farmers is about to be formed
10 be composed only of Southern ALI
ancemen; and whereas, we regard such
a step as reasonable and but move
ment On the part of our enemies to stir
up sectional bitterness and strife sub
sequent upon the late war between the
North and South, having for it's sole
object the division Of our fraternaI re
lations; therefore
Re80IUed, That we reafirm our faith
in the Order and will stand by the Ma
tional organization with the faithful,
unfiuching, unwavering Loucks at it's
head.
2. That we denounco any one who is
trying to disorganize or divide the AL
lance in the South as traitors to the
Order and that such effort is but con
spiracy to overthrow and ruin our or
ganization.
3. That we know no North, South,
East or West, but that we pledge our
selves to espouse with renewed energy
and determination the plans and pUr-
poses Of our late lamented leader, L. L.
Polk.
Whereas, the recent legislature of
North Carolina attempted to repeal the
charter of the N, Q. F. S. A. and did
amend the same against our wishes.
Therefore
Re8oIUed, That we condemn such &C
ton on the part Of our legislature as
being mean, partisan and cowardly.
2. That we recommend to each Sub
Alliance in Moore county that in case
any member should withdraw their
funds from the stock of the S. B. A.
then for said Sub-Alliance to replace
the same from their treasury.
3, That in case any Sub-Alliancef fails
to comply with the above recommen-
dation then this County Alliance pay
the same to the amount of $50 out of
the treasury fund of the said County
Alliance,
4. That we extend our thanks to our
honored State President and other
officers of the Alliance in their timely
interference to save the organization
when it's enemies in the legislature
contemplated it's overthrow and de
struction.
5. That we endorse the sentiments
of our State President, Marion Butler
as set forth in the Caucasian, and
pledge ourselves to uphold and sustain
his efforts in a substantial manner.
6. That copy of these preamble and
resolutions be sent to The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and Caucasian with request
that they publish and that all reform
papers be requested to copy the same

OUR SUGGESTION APPROVED.

TRINITY COLLEGE, Randolph Co., N. O.,
May q, 1898.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I like your suggestion
about holding our State meetings in
the country. The Alliance belongs to
the country, therefore hold our annual
meetings among our own people.
Trinity Alliance can entertain the
next State meeting. We are on the
railroad, in a thickly settled farming
community with asplendid chapel and
other rooms suitable for the purposes
of State meeting.
Very truly,
D. REID PARKER.

sad Miriam. the oldest of the five
children, is twelve I like to have
their bright faces about me, for it
does me much good.
Looking back at the old war
tlmes, said Mrs. Grant, suddenly
relapsing into "reminiscences, ssseems
all like a dream. Mrs. Davis and 1
did not have an opportunity of
meeting each other, therefore we
were hardly on calling terms; that
is to say" she added hastily, sit
was somewhat hsz ,rdous to make q
call. [ was at City Point at the fall
OF Richmond, near the Union front.
and when paace was assured, I re-
turned to Washington with the
General. How well I can remen-
Der thst trip! I can see now the
face Of the brave old soldiers who
accompanied us, and the futtering
OF the flags, and I can remember, as
though it were but yesterday, the
music ct the bands and the cheers
OF the multitude. It does seem
strange to look back at all that
now"
At 40 o'clock Mrs. Grant went
TO dinner. She sat at table with
several West Point officers and 8
number Of ladies Mrs. Davis came
down stairs much later. When Mrs.
Grant finished her dinner she went
out on the wide veranda Of the ho-
tel overlooking the Hudson. When
Mrs. Davis finished her dinner she
came out on the veranda and spoke
to Mrs. Grant, who introduced her
to the officers. After an exchange
Of greetings Mrs. Davis pleaded
fatigue and went to her rooms.
Mrs Grant has changed little in
recent years. She dresses entirely
in black. Mrs Davis is of little less
than medium height, stout. of fair
features, and has blue eyes. She is
now obliged to walk with cane.
Mrs Grant occupies rooms IS and
SO on the first floor, north side, and
Mrs. Davis hiss rooms IA and Is on
the first floor, south side. Both will
take their meals in the public dinin G
parior and will meet daily. Mrs
Davis was too much fatigued this
evening TO say anything except that
she WAS pleased with her trip and
reception.
In the evening Afrs. John Sher
wood read in the parlor paper or
"What l Saw in Chicago" which
was listened to by Mrs. Grant anc
8 number of other guests. Mrs
Grant and Mrs. Davis will visit Wes
Point tomorrow, and Miss Wipni,
