B-"HelIo! Mir. Editor"
R-"Hello! Bro. Z4ke. How are
crops2"
Bob! don't ask me about craps
this time O year. Why, it hasn't quit
snowin' yit"
R-"But you are not allowed to talk
about anything else now. The legisIa-
ture says our conversations must be
strictly agricultural hereafter. Any
body caught talking politics Is liable to
be hung up by the thumbs for Elk
weeks"
B-"Wen, by gosh, they Will git
Betsy, fer she don't talk ennything but
politicks. She is as mad as an old wet
settin' hen. She lowed she'd Ike ter
wiring the long necks ov the members
ov the legislature when they adjourn.
[ told her ter go easy fer maybe the
members ov the legislator were crazy
and OF responsible fer what they dun
She lowed tibet I was crazy myself;
that the trouble with the j. g~lslater wuz
tibet its members were possessed ov
devils; that there ought ter be sum-
BUDDY here ter cast out devils like
Christ did it old times. told her that
! most Ov the folks would have to move
out ov the State, fer if all the devils
were knocked Outn the members ov
the legislator there would only be room
in the State fer the devils, the members
ov the legislature an the other p0liti-
clans"
R.-"Judging from your conversa
ton there must be another little quar-
rel On hand at the ttllkins farm"
B-"You he5 there is. AS soon as
the weather gets warmer I'm goin' to
hide out fer a month ant let Betsy coal
off, She is mad at the legislator an
tries to take her spite out on me. I
can't reckonsile her kase I amt got
euUff money ter buy her a new dress.
If Congress keeps on spendin' our
money fer pensions an the legislator
keeps spendin' the State money fer
partisan purposes everybody will
have to stay single fer they can't buy
their wives a dress once a year,
R-"You should not be discouraged.
Remember the legislature incorporated
4 good many churches. That will have
a tendency to keep the members sober.
They also passed a banking bill that
will go into effect two thousand years
from now and then money will be easy
at 6 per cent"
B-"Blast the legislature. The big
gest thing it dun was ter make Betsy
mad. 1t is nifty tuff on the people ov
the State ter have ter pay a thousand
dollars day fer a crowd ov cram s ter
legjslate, exaggerate, perambulatesixtg
days an 90 nothin' but make Betsy
mad, an [ have to suffer all the
trubbIe."
R-"That is pretty tough, bat you
must remember that the State printing
was to leu OUT and a printer to re elect
You couldn't expect much else when
all that was to be done. Be reasonable.
be charitable
B.-"Yes, an be honpe. ked by a two
hundred pound woman all on account
ov a crowd of cranks who claim that
they were elected to represent the peo-
pie. The legislator ought ter form a
sewicide club an swear that they will
all commit sewicide within twelve
months from the day they adjourn.
Yours in trouble. Good by"

ALLIANCE STORES.

We clip the following from all ex-
change dated February -:
WINSTON, n. c., Feb II Special.
The town of MOcksvilie, Davie county.
has been in a state Of excitement for
several days owe the Farmers Alb
ance store. a number of the best men
belonging to the Alliance started toe
store some time ago. They refused to
consult lawyers IN organization but
found 1t ne .eSSary to get legal advice
when the business was closed up YES
terday. The stockholders who + re
spOnsible for all debts, say they will
lose IS cents On every dollar invested,
but are glad to get out at that
We should pay no attention to this
but for the fact that it has gone the
rounds Of the press Of the State and
and been commented upon in a way
calculated and intended to iniure
the Alliance or brighten some weak
brother who does not keep posted
Upon inquiry at State Alliance head
quarters we find tna5 all we know of,
or ever heard of said store is con
tanned in the a1ove special The
TIE State Alliance runsn no stores, takes
no stock in any stores, nor does it en-
courage, but rather seeks to discourage
the starting of such, and whenever a
few members, contrary to the prin-
ciples and the teachings of the.Alliance.
decide to open a store, those Only who
| go into it are responsible, and cannot
! attach the blame of their failure to the
Alliance.

are among the most important to all
classes of people, Pig, bar and boiler
iron was not changed, except in the
better grades Of boiler iron. 1t was
slightly redu ed, not enough to be APP
preciable. On iron valued at from 4 to
Z cents per pound the tariff was re.
duced (O from II cents per pound to 2
cents. On that valued at from Z to 10
cents, the tariff was reduced (0 from II
cents to 2 s 10 cents. Above 10 ami
not over - it was reduced CD from II
cents to 81 cents. Hoop, band and
scroll iron was not raised. a slight re-
ductiOn was made on railroad iron.
Sheet iron and steel iDgots and all that
class Of metals remain unchanged. The
better grades of shafting, rods, etc -,
was ruised considerably higher, one
grade being raised from 81 to Z cents
per pound. In every case the tariff on
wire vas raised when any changes
were made.

TURE.

II the Senate last Friday, evening
session, discussing the bill TO appro-
pirate $50. 600 10 the quarantine station,
Senator Jones, Of Forsyth, grew clo-
quent and said some things to the
point. He said this would be called In
North Carolina the million dollar leg
islature;" that he had added up the
mounts SO far appropriated and found
the sum to be 1904 $50 already, and
now we are asked t. add this $50, 600
more. He said every increase in salary
and every appropriation asked fer had
been granted anu not q single appro
prit4tiOn bill had failed in the Senate.
He attributed this to the most system
attic lobbying ever Witnessed ON the
floors of the General Assembly OF
North Carolina since the day Of recon
~struction, when the pc pies money
went like water. He prophesied that
every II of these appropriations
will meet us at the ballot box twoyears
hence"

Bank, which we publish In another
column, the certified check system
has been adopted until the present
stringency in the morfey market is
over. This is done to protect both
bank and depositors, and while serv-
ing to guard against any pancky idea,
works no hardship on the patrons.
The plan is being adopted by the
banks throughout the country, and is
a measure Of p~recaution that is the
result OF careful study by the bankers.
The plan Is to issue certified checks
TO dcpositors in denominations Of Csc.

amount to be drawn to sl5 per day.
The prevailing opinion among bank.

lied to establish quarantine on the
railroads and navigable streams lead
ing into the State, and that he shall
proceed now TO select the necessary

the law now stands, it takes about
four days to establish a State quaran-

or other diseases appears. No State
authority can be enforced until tho

members from different parts Of the
State, meets at Jackson and makes
