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 for
merits of our machine.

Bro. WORTH will say the Alliance

using for two years has never been out

any sixty dollar machine that I ever

DEAR SIR:-I take pleasure in wri.
ting you concerning the sewing ma
chime l 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 I have owned
three in my time, and can say that the
High Arm Alliance machine is the best
1 ever had. One of the machines cost
about $43 so, and the Alliance ma
chine is far superior to that. My wife
is well pleased with it, it does its work
well as eve I saw any machine, I can
not recommend it too highly for it
pleases well every way, it is light run
ming az can be.
I do this for the benefit of those who
may want a machine. l have mine for
inspection for those who may want to
see one. I will say further that the
cording to order freight paid.
Iremain v e yours,
O.. M. CRESs.

TAKE NOTICE.

The brethren will please bear in mind
that in my official capacity as State
Business Agent, I am acting directly
under the instruction of the State
Executive Committee. Their instruc-
tions are that I shall "fIl 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 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, y
or when goods arrive"
Sometimes we r asked to ship 60.
0. 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 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 a
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.

WHY PORK IS I G

Mr.. ED1ToR:-I enclose letter Just
received from our meat house. You
can see why pork cannot be bought at
reasonable figures.
W. II. WORTH.
Mr.. W, Il. Worth, Raleigh, N. G.
DEAR SIR:-We have yours of the
oath ordering n barrel of mess pork
for ]. D. Mears, Elm City, N. @. We
are now unable, to furnish any mess
pork. The market for pork for Sep
TENDER delivery is cornered in Chicago,
and on that account the price of pork
is way above what it ought to be as
compared with other cuts of meat.
Short rib sides are now the cheapest
meat in the market, quality considered,
and we should advise Mr.. Mears to
take short ribs in place of the pork.
will have mess pork just as soon as
it can be had at a reasonable price.

BRETHREN WHO HAVE BONDS,
TAKE NOTICE.

The recent failures of banks and the
unsettled condition of the money mar
ket, has greatly disturbed the com,
mercial world.
The inability to obtain loans, on the
best of securities has compelled us to
decline to fill any orders unless accom-
panied by cash. All the Agents who
have bonds at this Office will please
take notice of the recent action of the
Executive Committee instructing us
to hold all orders unless accompanied
with a remittance sufficient to cover
the same.
We are very sorry that such action
had to be taken, but the credit of the
Agency must be sustained so we car
get the lowest prices for the brethren,
and serve them to the best advantage.

Business Agents would save time
and trouble if they would use printed
stationery. Tt costs very little more
than that they now use, and is much
more convenient. Letters occasionally
come to us without being signed, some
times they contain money, and we are
put to some inconvenience to find out
the sender. Printed stationery saves
all this trouble. We are now prepared
to send you, postpaid,
100 sheets of note paper, padded,
with name and number of your ALI
ance and name of Business Agent or
Secretary nicely printed on it,
100 nice envelopes, printed,
1 lead pencil,
1 pen holder,
5 pen points,
5 blotters, ali for the small sum of 81.

WANTS THEM SLAUGHTERED.

The Warrenton Gazette is one of
those peculiar prosperity bowling con-
Germs that can see no good in anything
unless it wears the Wall street collar.
Not satisfied with villifying it's friends
and neighbors in this State, it. goes
away off to Kansas and writes the fol
lowing ontemptible SANDER and incen-
diarism:
Kansas, the breeder of cyclones and
many other ills aud evils, and the
spawning ground of cranks and ofnew,
unheard Of and unexpected meanness,
vans to secede and go to wal if she
does not get just what she wants. All
other sections want neither, but would
be delighted to see bleeding, bloody,
dirty Kansas do both. All the Indians
IN the country should be massed there
and then let the work of slaughter be-
gin.
Kansas has IS many or more pure
Jefersonian Democrats to the square
foot than any State in the Union.
They call themselves Populists, and
for this they must be slaughtered by
Indians. How is that for anarchy?

The Principal Chief Objects to inter-

washington, July 15--secretary Hoke
smith. OF the interior department tor
day received letter from Chief Jones,
OF the Choctaw nation. in which he
polntedly expressed his views as to
the interference of the government In
the execution of the nine Indians SEN
fenced to be shot. He says there is no
law or constitutional provision author
izing the principal chief of the Choc-
taw nation to commute or stay the
sentence of any one convicted of muir
der or sentenced to death under the
laws of the nation. However" the
letter says "as a result Of your letter
and conference with Colonel Faisson,
indian inspector / conferred with the
officials of the nation and arrived at
the conclusion that it would be ad-
visable and politic to have the execu-
tion Of the aforesaid parties stayed by
the Judge Of the court in which they
were sentenced. This of course will
leave the grave question open, and viii
afford the convicted parties no oppor-
tunity to escape the merited punish
inent meted out to them. Notwith-
standing that self-government was
guaranteed us by the law, the United
States has three times In succession
interfered with, and obstructed the ad-
ministration and execution Of the law
However, being anxious and desirous
Of fostering amicable and friendly re-
lations with the United States, and to
ascertain where the line will be drawn,
when the United States will cease to
interfere with tn execution and ad-
ministration of our laws, so we can
govern our selves intelligently and feel
assured of the effective and moral sup
port Of the United States, concluded
to request the judge Of the aforesaid
court to stay the execution Of the sem
tence until August 4th, so that the
fullest investigation could be made by
you" e-

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Tacoma, July 15.-In the case of
Dunston VS.. the Northern Pacific Coal
Company, Judge Hanford today grant,
ed non suit. The case grew out Of the
Roslyn mine explosion of year ago,
when fifty men were killed. and was
brought as test. Judge Hanford says
from the evidence, the plaintiff lad
knowledge equally with that Of the de-
fendant, or equal means of obtaining
knowledge of the existence Of gas in
the seventh level, where the explosion
occurred. The plaintiff was assured
that all risks were incurrent to employ
ment, including the negligent habits
of fellow workers, unless it can be
shown that the employer failed to ex-
ercise reasonable care in the selection
of servants. The decision is very i'm
portant, as many similar suits involv-
ing more than half million dollars are
dependent upon it.

OPPOSED TO HEBREWS.

Berlin, July 15.-The anti-Semitic
publisher, Hoeppner, is about to issue
books entitled die Judische Welther-
ischaft' and ''Das Reuter- Bureau"
tracing the career Of the Reuter- tele-
company and its connection with the
Wolff news bureau, with view to
proving that these two news-gathering
concerns are linked together with the
object of furthering the Jewish aim
to control the world. The, author Of
the books argues that the Berlin office
of the Reuter- telegram company is a
source of danger to Germany and
ought to be closed by the government.
