York is credited with 5 1.22 per cent. Of
the entire yield from 1908 per cent. Of
acreage. The average yield per acre
in the States is given as follows:
New York, 547 lbs, Wisconsin 443,
California 1,648, Washington l, 1926 and
Oregon 1,155. The crop Of 1890 was
SO, 872, 854 lbs, valued at 81, 1885, 24,
ranging in price from 10 cts. to 81 per
pound and averaging 80 cts.
The bulk Of this entire yield, or 70
per cent of the whole, was produced in
10 counties, five in New York, two in
Washington, two in California and one
in Oregon. The hop raisers of New
York and Wisconsin are beginning to
see the need Of a change to keep up
with the Western farmer, hence this
prospecting. Now if our people will
act wisely no doubt a large influx to
our State will come in from New York
and Wisconsin and q new industry
that may be worth millions to the
State come withthem. We believe the
hop is in its native soil in this State
aud that it will grow as fine and ma
ture as we'll here as anywhere, SO now
let's prepare to meet these friends and
give them a hearty welcome.

GROVER FISHED WHILE AMER.
TCA BURNED.

II history we read that Nero fadIed
while Rome burned" The future his
torian will write that "Grovor fshed
while America burned"
In the daily papers Of June 1st we
find the following dispatch: New
York, May 81 The Teutonic for Liver
pool to day carries a million and a
quarter of gold. The Fuerst for Bis
mark tomorrow will carry two mil
lions" In the same papers are reports
Of many bank and commercial failures
and the papers do not report one tenth
Of them. In papers of the Same date
we read that President Cleveland is at
Hog Island on a fishing spree and that
sit is not definitely known how lorg
he will remain there"
Just so long as Grover draws $4,000
g. year as President and gets SIS. 600 a
year additional for expenses, it is all
right with him. 1t is also stated that
he was drawing $50, 600 a year as alt0r,
ney for several big railroad companils
and his resignation has never been
made public. Probably he is still an
attorney. At any rate he is Fishing

my BOY WILL RETURN"

Nothing equals q mothers Iove-un-
less it is the love Of a true girI-and
then only in rare cases.. 4 few days
ago Samuel Chauncey, SOB of Samuel
Chauncey, who is 81 years old and lives
near Washington, n. @, returned to
his parents after an unaccountabl9 alb
sence Of % years. During all these
years his mother, now 70 years old,
never gave up the hope Of seeing her
lost son She never ceased to "looku up
the road" at all hours of the day, ex
pecting Sam to be approaching. When
she made a quilt for her other children
one was made for Sam also, though
many believed the boy dead.
When Sam was about four years old
he disappeared one day. AT frsti it was
believed that he had wandered into the
woods and was lost, A hundred men
searched the woods for miles around
and searching parties kept up the work
for weeks, After failing 30 find the
boy, it was generally thought that he
had been kidnapped and carried no one
knew where. Stories Of boys being
found reached the ears Of the parents.
but Investigation proved that it was
not their boy.
But book agents are some good after
all. One Of them travelled in North
Carolina and then went to Georgia.
There he met the long lost boy and
asked him if he was not related to J.
G. Chauncey, Of Washington, N. @.
Mr.. Chauncey could not say, as hehad
no recollection Of any relatives and
didn't know where he came from. But
a letter was written to j. G. Chauncev,
Washington, n. c., and it was soon
established that J. G. Chauncey. of
Georgia, was the lost or kidnapped bow.
He came to Washington Il few DAVIS
ago and was taken into the BOSOM Of
the family. The joy of that father and
mother can be imagined, but not de-
scribed. The overjoyed mother still
repeats 81 knew Sam would Gomez
Who stole him, or what their object
was, is still a mystery, MI. Chauncev
says he remembers living with a Door
woman in Savannah, Ga, when he
was a very small boy, but has nc recol-
lection of MS North Carolina home or
how he got to Georgia, he being too
young to remember anything except
that he travelled on the water and was
frightened. He was educated at a

NO BLUFFING REQUIRED.

The Gastonia Gazette thinks The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER ''blufingIy
waved it's inquiry aside" instead Of
telling what is the matter with the
Business Agency fund" Well, no n
had charged that there is anything the
matter with it, but as the gazette
seems scared we will tell all we know
about it.
The fund is right where it has been
all the time and wi | stay there a few
small politicians tried to get the con
tributors to withdraw their voluntary
contributions, but it didn't work. Con
tributor8 to the number Of thirteen Q3
is an uuiucky number, you know ap-
piled for their little dollars right away,
and then Sad, isn't iD they stopped
Since that terribly unlucky number OF
patriots spoiled the game, a few others
have ventured forward and claimed
their little share, until the total sum
called for amounts to the magnificent,
gorgeous, gigantic amount of $3.50
Gour hundred and fifty dOlarS) It is
plain that the great number Of "dissat-
isfed AIliancemen ''swunk up awful
ly' somehow. Several times that much
has been pledged to replace what is
! withdrawn.
We intended to publish the names
Of the so-called Alliancemen who with
drew the funds as fast as they applied,
but in order that no ore should have a
chance to complain that we tried to
intimidata those who might be small
enough to apply for their funds, we
have waited patiently until they could
put in their claims. AS they have had
ample time we will begin publishing
the names and amounts that each one
withdrew, probably next week. The
people want to SEQ who they r and
ell about them.
So the Gazette may rest assured that
most Of the fund is here to stay. It is
properly invested and deposited, part
Of it drawing 6 per cent. interest, and
all OF it doing the members of the Ali
ance ten times as much good as if it
were in their pockets. The State
. Agency is doing more and more bust
ness and so far as we can learn is en-
tirely satisfactory to all who take ad-
vantage Of the system. If any more
information is wanted by the Gazette
we will cheerfully give it. Now will

that in 1889 the total production of
hops in the United States was 80, III, 27O

WHY THEY ARE COMING BACK

Those who know but one side of the
matter may be disposed to doubt the
statement to the effect that the Ali
auce is rapidly gaining strength in
North Carolina. The ordeal it has
passed through has actually done the
Order good. Such men as J. S. Bell
and ]. A. Stevens have been shown up
in their true light. Neither of them
had a cent in the Business Agency
fund and both of them has caused more
loss to the Agency than any other two
men. Other so called Alliancemen who
labored to have the charter repealed
and who have sown seeds Of discord
and stopped to the blacklist methods to
shake the confidence Of the member
ship, had no money in the fund and no
foundation fer their slanderous charges.
New members are being added every
/ week. Old members who were lnfu-
enced by these treacherous scamps,
who were led to believe that something
must be wrong, now e that the
organization is as clean as it possibly
can be and only needed to get clear of
such political tricksters as Bell and
! Stevens. The best men in the Order
are renewing their allegiance now that
they see it was the thieves who were
crying stop thiefw If all the honest
farmers of the State knew the rotten
ness of the small politicians and some
of the editors who are daily and week
" elandering tho Alliance, they would
all renew their allegiance, OF join if
! they have never been members, at the
very first meeting of their nearest Al
! lance.

In justice to the 40 members who

THE VETERAN WAS REWARDED

During Miss Winnie Davis visit to
Raleigh last week, and while thousands
were trying to grasp her hand, an old
Mexican soldier won her heartiest
hand5hake and brightest smile. Mr..
William Hobbs, of Orange county, was
with j. jefferson Davis in the war with
Mexico. Tuesday he came to Raleigh,
bringing a beautiful boquet OF wild
flowers. During the reception he gave
the flowers to Miss Winnie, introduce
ing himself at the saule time. He was
not dressed half as fine as those around,
but he was the hero of the day. Miss
Davis told him how she loved those
who left their native land with her
father to conquer Mexico, thanked him
profoundly for the beautiful flowers
and chatted with him longer than wish
anyone else. When she started to the
station the many handsome and arts
tically arranged b0quetS were carried
by others, but the wild flowers the
Mexican veteran presented was carried
by Miss Davis, and when the train
pulled out from the station she still
carried them.
