TAKE NOTICE.

The brethren will please bear in mind
that in my official capacity as State
Business Agent, | am acting directly
under the instruction of the State
Executive Committee. Their instruc-
tiOns are that / shall "fll orders only
when cash to the full amount of the
bill accompanies each order, except in
cases of County and Sub-Business
Agents who have filed in my office a
justified legal bond for double the
amount expected to be due at any n
time, in which latter case thirty days
from date of bill will be allowed in
which to make remittance for same.
Now it frequently happens that some
good brother, not being informed as to
this ruling of the Executive Commit
tee, will ask us to ship goods and he
will pay for same on receipt Of BILL
or when goods arrive"
Sometimes we are asked to ship &C.
O. D." or with "sight draft bill lading
attached" We do not like to be placed
in the attitude of refusing, but in either
of the above cases we are compelled to
do SO. We have had a little experience
in shipping "Collect," and in nearly
every a s it has been unpleasant and
unsatisfactory, some times goods lying
at their destination for weeks before
proper collection and remittance is
made, thus causing dissatisfaction all
around. We feel sure that any brother
who will give this matter a moments
thought will not ask us to violate a
standing rule of the Alliance. You
will see also that it is better to have a
uniform plan for everybody.
1t is always preferable to have your
orders come through your regular
bonded Business Agent, but if you wish
to send them direct, please accompany
each order with cash sufficient to cover
the bill. Any balance will be placed
to your credit, or returned to you as
you may direct.

OUR SEWING MACHINES.

There are some sewing machine
agents in different parts of the State
decrying the Alliance machine at ev-
cry home. They tell you it is ''unrelia-
BILE" made of pot iron," you can
never get repairs" mo one is respon-
sible to you for repairs" and such like
expression which they know are false.
Only afew days ago, we learned that
one agent was saying that we we're
shipping out second hand" machines.
That agent may deal in second hand"
goods himself. The business agent OF
the State Farmers Alliance does not.
Up to date, Feb. oath wehave delivered
to the brethren over 1000 Alliance ma
chimes. We placed order for seven ma
chimes yesterday, 4 Of which is to go
to Kansas.
Below we give q few original letters
from the brethren which speaks for
merits of our machine.

DEAR SIR:-I take pleasure in wri.
ting you concerning the sewing ma
chine [ ordered from you September
the goth, 1892. | wish to say to those
who may want a machine, that the
high arm Alliance machine is all right
in every respect, for I have owned
three in my time, and can say that the
High Arm Alliance machine is the best
I ever had. One of the machines cost
me about $43 so, and the Alliance ma,
chine is far superior to that. My wife

WELL PLEASED.

ROXBORO, n. Q.
Bro. Worth:-I used the Alliance
guano last year and was never better
pleased with a guano. I used 81 sacks
on 81, 900 hills of tobacco, making about
81 lbs. to the 1 900 hills, which will net
me 8, 700 lbs. The leaves would average
about IA inches, small, white stem to-
bacco. Everybody who saw it said it
was the heaviest tobacco they ever saw
grown on very poor land with nothing
but the guano So long as it keeps as
good a standard as it now has I don't
expect to use any other. With good
wishes and hoping you will do a large
business in 1898 than W before, [ re
main, Yours truly,

AcRESVILLE ALL RIGHT.
ACRESVILLE. n. c..

Mr.. EDIToR:-I write to let you know
that we are not all dead and have not
baen in a dying condition during the
campaign. At a quarterly meeting Of
Acreville Sub Alliance, No. 1,436, on
March 25th, 1898, the following resolu,
tions we're unanimously adopted:
RosoZUed, That we condemn, in the
most decided manner, the action of the
rast legislature of North Carolina in
quitting its unholy hands on our State
Business Agency fund.
2. The legislature of 1898 will be long
romambered for its mean acts.
3 The cowardly attack IN the ALI
ance in which the legislature passed a
hill to repeal the charter of the State
Alliance, and believing as we do that
Il was intended for a deadly blow on
the Alliance as the Business Agency
fund ia the right-arm of the Alliance.
4 There is nothing like a member of
Acresville Sub Alliance drawing n
penny of the fund as it has $25 or $50
in it, and if such a thing should hap
nen. there are several members who
will deposit in the fund five dollars for
every one taken out.
s. That a copy of these resolutions
he sent to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
for publication.
Yours truly,
