Buckets of Blood,

Monday night last was a time when
gore flowed by the quart in Great Bend.
The voices of the night were hoarse
with anger and the pale moon hid its
face behind the fleeing clouds as the
dull sickening thud' of the combat
ants slid out into the highways and by
ways. About quarter to nine one
sabie-hued citizen named CanmOre,
with wounded reputation and a hunger
for revenge, sought out one Rucker,
another descendant of Ham at church
festival in the southwest part of town
and avOwed his intention to ornament
said Rucker with another visage-in
other words, put head ON him, because
of said Rucker having charged that
CanmOre aforesaid had stolen four hills
of corn. The two sought the broad
highway, and Canmore sought it more
minutely than he at first thought he
would, for Rucker laid him out with
one blow. The fallen hero gathered
himself up and also gathered up piece
of plank and came at his opponent. He
aimed blow that might have felled an
OK, but didn't. 1t fellOd an innocent
bystander instead, one "Goody," also
of sable hue, end there was more gore
even gore galore. At this stage of
the matinee some of the brethren and
sistern Interfered and the slaughter
pen was cleared. Bro. Stevenson is re-
ported as saying he done see de fire
fly from Goody's head when de slab
done come in contraction wifi his chrO-
nology."
A few minutes later on a little girl
saw one man try his muscle ON another
man, at the corner in front of Dickson
u Shores meat market, with the result
that the man number two lay. weltering
in mixture of his own claret and the
dust of the street, while number one
hied himself henCeward without ado or
adieux. Rumors of bloody murder
were quickly spread, but when Night
Marshal Ewalt reached the scene of
conflict the victim bad also disappeared
leaving only the dark, 1ank dreariness
of great gObs of gore spread plentifully
about. Everybody who was attracted
to the place of contact aided in the
search for the parties to the little mis-
understanding. 1t afterwards devel-
oped that both parties to the fracas
joined in the search for themselves;
that one of them had Overstepped the
bounds of propriety with the wife of
the other one, and that Mr.. Otherone
led the offender to to the corner spoken
of and with little love pat put him to
sleep for a time.

Col. w. E. HUFFMAN. deputy rev.

last week. He says that the revenues
in Kansas are increasing rapidly, and
the collectors have all they can do to
keep their territory properly covered.
They have also been handicapped from
the start by the business having been
to some extent neglected by the out
going boys, who knew they were going
to lose their jobs. The opening of the
Cherokee Strip to settlement will also
add much to the work of some of the
collectors.

WHAT ARE PLUTOCRATs2

Plutocracy is a government of the
almighty dollar" by the almighty
dollar" and for the almighty dollar"
When wealth becomes so powerful that
it controls the election and corrupts
the legislature and sways the govern
ment, the government becomes a plu-
tocracy, and then it is no longer of the
people, by the people and for the
people.
A plutocrat is one who sustains a
~plutocracy. He does not have to be a
banker, a railroad president nor a mil
lionaire. He may be as poor as Jobs
turkey" He may wear patched over
alIs and work for fifty cents a day and
his wife may wash to help pay therent,
but he is a plutocrat because by his
vote he sustains a ~plutocracy. Many
wealthy men are %plutocrats but some
are not. Plutocrats are of two kinds,
the rulers and the slaves. These two
classes do not need to be defined.

RINGING RE

We are glad the Sub Alliances Of the
State have taken such prompt action
in emphatically condemning the last
legislature. We have published quite a
number of these resolutions in full, but
they are coming in so fast that we can't
find room for them all and get other
matter in. Just now county reports
and resolutions are coming in and they
must be published as fast as possible.
Hence we are forced to give only the
names of Alliances that have con-
demned the legislature, from now on.
They are all strong and full Of mean
ing, most Of them agree to replace any
funds that are withdrawn. Here are
the names of the Alliances that have
recently sent in such resolutions
'Lumberton, Hexlena, Powellsville.
Elm Grove, Union Ridge, Triumph,
Oak Grove, Farm Hill, Union Grove,
Spanish Grove, Winfall, Magnolia, Oak
Ridge, Pea Ridge, Zion, Gum Neck,
Shallow Well, Underwood, Roanoke,
Fair Grove, Mitchell's Mill. All of the
above Alliances endorse the Business
Agency and it's management.

DUBLIN COUNTY.

RESOLVED, That we take the action of
the last legislature towards the State
Farmers Alliance, to be an encroach-
ment upon the rights and freedom of
the agricultural and laboring classes
of the State, and in direct opposition to
their deceptive expressions of friend
ship to the farmers organization dur
ing the last political campaign.
2. That we believe it to be the duty
of every Alliance in North Carolina, in
q non-partisan spirit, to discuss the
actions and motives of the last legisla-
ture in attempting to repeal and after
wards amending the charter of the
Alliance in a manner unheard Of in the
legislative halls of the State rel dur
ing carpet-bag rule.
3 That we feel justified in saying
that such overt acts in the interest of
the mercantile class only points as a
finger board to what farmers and
Iaborers may expect from a legislature
that is opposed to a free ballot and a
fair count in all the elections Of the
State. =,
4. That as farmers and laborers, all
we ask or demand is equal rights with
other classes of citizens; also a charter
that is as liberalto us as to wealthy cor
porations who r able to have shrewd
LOBBYISTS to crowd the legislature when
ever taxes happen to come in sight.
