newspapers, The only periodical
read through is The Youths Com
panion-and l read that through
every week" ''For your children, l
SUPPOSE" said his visitor. mo, for
myself" was the reply. "It is a
wonderful paper"
The announcements of The Youths
Companion for 1893 make this story
easily credible. Seldom if ever has
it presented so varied programme
of articles and stories, or so striking
list Of eminent contributors. It
never ceases to be young peoples
paper; but it long since lifted itself
to be also most versatile, instruct
i've and facinating paper for all the
family. One of the marked features
this coming year is the appearance
of the seven successful stories for
which the famous prize Of Sc, 500 were
awarded. No less than 2.9G3 stories
competed for these prizes. The reg

RARE DEvELoPMENT, WITH A MORAL

If President Harrison can afford
to appoint Judge Jackson, a Demo-
GRAFT, to position on the Supreme
Court bench, as he has done; if
President-elect Cleveland can afford
to appoint Judge Walter @. Gresham
Secretary of State, which is the first
place in his Cabinet, as he has done;
and if T. r. Jernigan, editor and
proprietor of the State Chronicle,
which claims to be the organ of the
Democratic party, can associate with
himself on the editorial staff of that
paper, Mr.. J. G. Logan Harris, one
the most pronounced Republicans in
the State, which he has done, then
why in the name of common sense
should our farmers and Aliancemen
allow themselves longer to quarrel
over and divide on petty partisan
questions? The curtain is rising,

February rs, 1898.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Seeing in the Pro-
gressive Farmer an article headed
"a Cowardly Act on the Alliance"
that the Legislature had passed a
bill to repeal the charter of the
State Alliance Business Agency
Fund, and believing as we do, that
it was intended for deadly blow on
the Alliance, as the Business Agency
Fund is the right arm of the ALI
ance, therefore be it
RESOLVED, By the members of
Fork Greek Alliance, No. CTS, that
we solemnly enter our protest against
such uncalled for legislation, aud
that goodly number of Fork Greek
members are contributors to the
fund and is well satisfied, and don't
want it out. Without fund the AL
lance would be very weak. We
suppose the Legislature is Demo-
cratic in majority and some of Fork
Greeks members voted that way, but
such legislation as that will be long
remembered. Any political sneak
that will present such bill in the
Legislature or out of it should not
be allowed to go in a Legislative hall.
RESOLVED further, That a copy
of these resolutions be sent to The

h,..ween the National Mary Washing

President Harrison is the head ana
in which the widow of Chief Jnehee
Matte is the leading woman director
and the fredericksburg. Va, ..ss'T'-

efforts of women, money has been

The work has been mainly IN the
hands of the national association

lected. contracted with n Buffalo
company for IA monument TO cost

massive granite base aud a tall shaft
Of the same material, the whole to be
fifty feet in height. Its plalnness
was intended to typify the simple
and unassuming character of Mary
Washington's life.
The fredericksburg association,
whose president is the mayor Of the
CITY, has seen fit. however, to object
to the memorial on the ground OF
unsuitability. \ letter issued by the
mayor desires the national organiza.
ton to break its contract and put OF
building the monument till it ha;
raised 100000, $4,000 to be used
in improving the grounds, and the
remainder in constructing II much
more pretentions memorial. Con
sidering the fact that for sixty years
the grave of Mary Washington ant
its surroundings have been so neg
lected that their condition is re
proach to the community, and tina
the work of righting the wrong ha
been left largely to the women of th'
nation, this action of the Federicks
burg society seems to be, to say th'
least, ungracious.

died in 1889, not long after the in
auguration of her son as the frs

BERTHE Go. Farmers Alliance
Alliance Meeting In Wayne County


At a meeting of Salem sub-Alli-
ance No. 513, on February 18th,
1898, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That we, the members
of Salem Alliance, re-affirm our APP
proval and support of the princi-
pies Of the National Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union, as de-
clared in the Constitution of the AL
lance and in the Ocala platform,
and while it is our duty to support
those principles and demands, in a
strictly non-partisan spirit, we do
not consider it an abandonment of
Alliance principles to support men
for Office in favor of those primer
Piles, in preference to men opposed
them.
RESOLVED, That we are in favor
of the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver, and we think the amount OF
the circulating medium in this coun-
try should be speedily increased tc
at least $50 per capita, exclusive OF
legal reserves, and that the purchas.
ing and debt paying power of the
dollar, whether of silver, gold, OF
paper, should be at all times equal
everywhere.
RESOLVED, That we condemn in
the most decided manner the action
of the present Legislature of North
Carolina in passing resolutions re-
questing our Senators and Repre-.
sentatives in Congress to vote fol
the repeal of what is commonly
called the Sherman silver law, which
requires the Secretary of the Treas
ury to purchase $4,5O0,00O of silver
each month, so as to increase thu
amount of money in circulation
among the people.
RESOLVED, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the CAUCA

questing them to publish the same

Getting in Better Shape Than Ever

Our friends O. sometimes tell us,
that the Alliance is almost dead in
certain sections. This may be true,
and if it is, the order has shown it
self worthy of having lived, which
cannot be truthfully said of some
things that have died and many
that are still living.
But the Alliance is not dead. 1t
is now undergoing purging lop-
ping off of some of the branches
which will only give it a vigorous
life.

Are the Farmers Responsible?

A travelling statesman, who stop
ped long enough in Washington to
talk to newspaper reporter (they
all do that) declares that a pitiful
state of affairs prevails in the agrl-
cultural regions and that this condi-
ton is common to the farmers in
the south, in the west, in the south
west and in the northwest; and he
gives out the further information
that the farmers themselves are re-
sponsible for it. He said that in
stead of diversifying their crops they
stick to cotton, corn or wheat, and
he wants school established where
thev can 60 and learn how to attend
to their business.
| Now this is very large way to
| put it, and craftsmanship oozes out
of every pore Of the interview, but
we have discovered that when states
manship leaves the halls and Hobbies
of the assembly houses it is very much
at sea. It is pretty big thing when
it is engaged in lobbying a bill
through, or in getting office, but
when the handles Of pillow are put
in it's hands it is simply tottering
wreck. We ask some of these great
statesmen to put themselves in the
place of the farmers and see how they
would come out. Our opinion is
that they would crawl out of the lit
tie end of the horn every time.
i 1t is but piece of fippancy for
men who are plunging and snorting
around in the political showing to
say that the farmers are responsible
for their condition. The very fact
that this condition is common to all
sections shows that the cause has its
origin beyond the control Of the
farmers. A few years ago the farm
ers of the west and northwest were
. exceedingly prosperous. A few years
ago the farmers of the south and
southwest were more prosperous than
they are now. 1t is but dull per-
son who will say that they are re-
sponsible now for condition that Is
almost intolerable.
No. the cause is in the financial
legislation of the Republicans; in the
!; demonstration of silver; in the con.
| stantlY appreciating value of the
, gold standard; in the tax which
e Great Britain is enable to exact BY
. purchasing a dollars worth of Indis
t cotton or wheat for 81 cents of Anne
Q rlcan silver; in the law that outlaw
4 their property as collateral for loans
4 in the system that causes the curren
e cy of the country to collect and con.
4 gest at few money centers.
The farmers will never have al
a opportunity to be prosperous unit

: cial system.-Atlanta Constitution

Adam, God made out of dust,
But thought it best to make me

My body He did make complete,
But without arms or legs or feet.
Ny ways and acts he did complete,
But to my body gave no soul.

And Adam gave to me a name.
I from his presence then withdrew,
And more of Adam never knew.

Nor from it never went astray.
Thousands of miles / go in fear,
But seldom ON earth appear.
For purpose wise which God did see,
He put living soul in me.
A soul from me my God did claim,
And took from me the soul again.
