Although the Pacific covers more than half tho surface of the globe and has an area estimated roughly at 5000. oso square miles, set its coest hne. even including that of the Indian ocean, is but a7.O00 miles, or about $, ,O00 miles less than that of the Atlantic The shores of the Atlantic are very dseply indented by large seas. of which the Baltic and Mediterranean arc tho most re- m8rkahle. Reside these the greatsst lateral seas and gulfs in the Atlantic are the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean sea, Hudson's tay and the Bay of Biscay If we take from the Pacific the Red ssa. Arabian sea and Ray of Bengal, which are part of the Indian ooean, We leave it with remarkably straight coast line, with tho exoep- ton of a few deep indentations on the coast of Asia.
 li is owing to free imTonetrafion of hand and water, and consequent ease of communication between one country and another that the most civilized nations of tho world. with few exceptions. have lived and now live on the shores of the North Al. lAntie and it's lateral seas Brooklyn Eagle.

the past month has been phenome-
 nal. While blizzard has been fol-
 lowed by blizzard, and one cold
 wave has been succeeded by another
 in rapid succession throughout the eastern states and in the northwest,
 the weather here has been perfectly
 delightful, the thermometer not
 registering below 20 degrees above
 zero at any time during that period.
 Cold waves and blizzards east usu-
 ally cause fall in the mercury in this section, and while the intensity of cold is never experienced here that is in other sections, VIC usually experience "eold spell' when they are having bitter cold weather there. This winter has proven an exception to this rule, however. While we have not experienced any cold westher, neither have we had any storms, but the winter thus far
 has been a delightful one of unbro-
 ken sunshine and moderate weather.
 A rain storm would be welcome now
 The people of Phenix have em-
 ployed a lawyer named Wells Hen-
 dorshot to go to Washington and
 lobby for statehood. Mir. Tender shot halls from Los Angeles. It oc-
 CUTS to our mind that this action on
 the part Of the people of PheniH
 will retard statehood rather than
 help it. 1t is very serious reaee-
 ton on the intelligence of the peo-
 pleof Arizona to employ non-resi-
 dents as lobbyists and the impres
 sion which it will naturally create
 in the minds of members of congress
 and senators will be something like
 this: "Ifthe people of Arizona have
 not among their own residents men
 of sufficient ability to advocate the cause of admission they are not pre-
 pared for statehood" The Gazette
 in discussing this, very aptly and
 truthfully remarks that Governor
 Murphy can accomplish more for statehood in Washington than any ten menfin Arizona, and il would like exceedingly we'll to see the gov ernor make another trip-not as an autOcrat-but as the common every day governor of Arizona"
 The inaugural address of Mayor J. L. Fisher will be found in this issue. A perusal of it will convince any one that our new mayor has a proper conception of the necessities and wants of our city, and it is hoped that the suggestions made by hlm will be carried out as. far as practicable. 1t has for some time been a subject of comment by many taxpayers that the city did not re- ceive any revenue from petty offenders. In many instances a strict enforcement of ordinances would have resulted in benefit to the city, while in other cases what might have been received by the city has been allowed to go to the county treasury. His suggestion of the establishment of chain gang is in accordance with public senti- menE, too. The document is good one throughout and shows that voters made no mistake in a property owner as chef of the city. We doubt 1 not but he will have the hearty 1 cooperation of the council in all 1 matters pertaining to the city's l welfare, and we may reasonably ex- pect that last night will mark a | new era in our city government. | An era of better government, and of more faithful devotion to the best interests of the people and tax payers

OUR SEWING

There are some sewing machine
agents in different parts of tho 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 n is respon-
sibIe 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 were
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, one Of which is to go
to Kansas.
Below we give a few original letters
from the brethren which speaks o
merits of machine.
DURHAM, N. c.. Jan. 25, 1898.
Bro. WORTH will say the Alliance
sewing machine that my wife has been
using for two years has never been out
of fix, has never given any trouble IN
any way; I would not exchange 1T for
any sixty dollar machine that L ever
saw. E. A. WOODS.

DEAR SIR:-I take pleasure in wri-
ting you concerning the sewing ma
chine I ordered from you September
the Goth, 1892. 1 wish to say to those
who may want a machine, that the
high arm Alliance machine is all right
in every respect, for l 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
is well pleased with it, it does it's work
well as ever | saw any machine, I can
not recommend 1t too highly for it

OUR CLUB

That we may be more enlightened as
to what is going on in the different
parts Of our great country, we ought to
diversity our reading. More Western
and Northern papers ought to be read
in the South and more Southern papers
should be read in the West and North.
Believing this the beet thing to do to
everIastingly obIiterate the prejudices
of the past, we have arranged a list of
papers TO offer with THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER. The price in the parenthesis
is the regular subscription price Of the
paper and the other figures are what
we charge for the paper with The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER for one year. Re
newals for the other papers cannot be
taken at tie club rates, but all netU
subscribers IN. You can renew for

NEWS FROM "THE BANNER
COUNTY"

Johnston county is now called the
,sbanner Democratic county" of the
State. This is strange when we con-
slider that she has a large negro popu-
Iation. Bro. Henderson Cole, County
Lecturer for Johnston, has recently
been over the county. He writes us
that politicians have control Of the AL
lance there without a doubt. The
largest Alliance in the county only has
fifteen members in good standing. He
a Y it is hard to get subscribers for re-
form papers, as the politicians have
made many believe that such papers
as THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER advocate
rebellion, ;" treason" etc. He further
saws that those who are reading the
papers experience much difficulty in
getting them, as some of the postmas-
ters disregard their sworn duty and
either destroy the papers or fail to
hand them out. He says he has to
write letters as a postal card about Al
lance appointment seldom reach their
destination.
We hope any Of our readers in John
ston county or elsewhere will inform
us at once Of any failure to get their
papers promptly. We will Q if some
of these political scoundrels who are
willing to swear falsely or do anything
else, can't be cooled off by a year or
two stay at the Albany ~penitentiary.
We have submitted to it as long as we
can.
After all Bro. Cole thinks there is
hope for the county. He thinks the
next county report will show almost
or quite double the number Of members
in good standing as compared with last
rpDOrt.

TAKE NOTICE.

The brethren will please bear in mind
that In my official capacity as State
Business Agent, l am acting directly
under the instruction of the State
Executive Committee. Their instruc-
tions r that I 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 fled in my office a
justified legal bond for double the
amount expected to be due at any one
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. Wehave had a little experience
in shipping "collect," and in nearly
every case 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 8
uniform plan for everybody.
It 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.
