WAKE COUNTY ALLIANCE.

The call meeting Of the County ALI
ance last week in Raleigh was fairly
well attended, quite a good majority of
the Subs being represented. The shoe
factory movement was discussed and
the enthusiasm on the subject exceeded
that on any other question ever dis
cussed by the body, and the sentiment
was absolute unanimity. Resolutions
strongly endorsing the project were
unanimously passed. The County
Alliance will meet in called session
again on November oath. In the mean
time the brethren are to work up the
sentiment of their respective neighbor-
hoods and all the Subs will meet on
Friday, November 10th to arrange
their subscriptions to be reported to
the county meeting on the goth. The
brethren of Wake will do all they can
Five cent cotton seems to be the strong
est argument in favor of the enterprise,
and the brethren are determined to do
their duty. They can't do too much.
We need $40, 900 at once with which to
secure the site and put the shoe fac
tory and tannery in order. But if there
should come in $50, 900 that much the
better. It could all be proitably en-
ployed. But, brethren, we must have
the SO, 900 at once, and the brethren
throughout the State say it shall come;
and come it will. Let every brother
have the honor of contributing in the
start They will all refer to it with
pride in the future.

WATCH THE STUDENTS.

1t is a fact that many students have
registered and voted at the various
colleges in the State contrary to law,
in the past. Doubtless this will be at
tempted again this year. Township
chairmen should see the registration
books for the township in which every
college is located at once and see ii
there isn't some illegal registration
The courts have long since decided that
a student is not a legal voter unless his
parents reside at the college. Fol- IN
stance, if John Smith, of Person county,
Cor any other county, goes to Trinity,
Davidson, the University, Wake Forest,
or any other college to get an educa,
ton, he does not move his citizenship.
He cannot legally vote there, even
though he has been a student there
four years. See the registration books
at each of these colleges, all the col
leges, and if any of the nonresident
students are registered they must be
prosecuted. Persons who know the
students well must watch the boxes on
election day and if any ofthem attempt
to vote they must be challenged and
proper legal steps taken to vindicate
the law.

reading an eT.pGTte statement or de-
scription of it. He always investigates
the matter himself or through his own
agents, before buying. To all intents
and purposes ola sale a report is the
same as if it never had been printed.
Again, we have already discovered
and have had on the market for years
more mines and mineral properties
than are likely to be sold in the next
hundred years or 30. If we foster the
present plan of utilizing our forests it
will simply be a ean of robbing our
children. The timber, wherever sold,
goes out of the State in the shape of
logs at the lowest wholesale price Of
raw material, and is put into merchant
able form in other States by manufac
turers of furniture, etc, who reap all
the profit. By the time we get our
factories fairly started all the material
will be gone and we will have traded
the birth right of our children for a lot
of stumps.
Think of ten thousand dollars per
year spent for such a purpose, when
our common schools are languishing
for the lack of funds!
During the last session of the legisla-
ture a bill to abolish this useless expense
passed the House of Representatives,
but failed to pass a third reading in the
Senate. The coming session will do
we'll to cut off this useless expense and
apply the amount to the common school
fund, where it will do some good at
once and to the people who need it
most.
While SO per cent of our people can
not read and write, it is criminal not
to do more for the public schools.
Let our law makers look into the
books and see how and for what this
large sum has been spent and then COM
pare the cost with the results But one
conclu sion will be possible.

A IT BE DoNEa

There is no room for doubt. Thou
sands Of votes have been fraudulenIiy
deposited, miscounted and thrown out
in this State. The Appointment of basely
ignorant and corrupt poll holders in
many sections of the State is proof
that there will be another desperate
attempt made this year.
Few Democratic papers claim that
elections have been honest in the State.
But few speakers make such claims.
Leading Democrats and the party press
are as silent as the tomb. They will
not even advance the claim that no
fraud is intended. Everything points
to fraud, wholesale and widespread.
The best people in the Democratic
party will be kept in ignorance OF it,
of course. Most of them are aware OF
the serious charges against their party,
but SO long as they do not see it with
their W eyes and are not asked to
take part in it, help perpetrate it, their
rubber like consciences will not rebel.
But, can it be done this years The
co operative tickets will have a clear,
a decided majority, in more than two
thirds of the counties of the State.
These majorities will range from a few
hundred up to two thousand each.
The total majority in the State cannot
be less than 80, 1000 or 10000. Honest
men in every party will admit that the
will of a majority of the people should
be obeyed. We are not willing to be,
lieve that the people of this State will
tolerate wholesale fraud sufficient to
overcome this majority. We believe
that the people will be vigilant and
not permit it if the attempt is made.
We believe that there is enough legal
ability and natural shrewdness among
our people to save the fair name of the
State and not allow this awful stigma
of ballot stealing to rest upon it again.
1t is not charged that the people who
expect to vote the CO operative ticket
contemplate fraud. But if it is at
tempted where our people have any Of
the election machinery, and proven,
we will denounce it promptly and per
! sistently. More than that, we will not
vote with any party that practices OF
tolerates fraud in any shape. We re-
peat that our people, of all parties
should be doubly vigilant this year
and redeem the fair name of the State.

A COSTLY

For about four years the State OF
North Carolina has been paying for a
costly and useless luxury, in the form
Of a geological survey, to the tune of
ten thousand dollars per year. About
forty thousand dollars have now been
spent, and thereby furnished pleasant
occupation, during the summer months,
to one college professor and several
young men who assist him in picking
up rocks, photographing~ waterfalls and
spending the appropriation in various
and sundry ways.
The aforesaid professor who directs
the expenditure, is said to occupy much
of his time and makes himself solid
with the people, by %lecturing here and
there on the beautiful scenery which
he shows in his magic lantern. At the
same time he holds his place in the
college, presumably as a sort of hand
plant, to fall back on, whenever the
people 9 fit to cut off the ]apnropria-
ton
In stating these facts we mean no
disrespect to the professor o the col
lege with which he is connected.
Seriously the survey is supposed to
be for the purpose of developing our
mines and forests, by attracting capt.
allsts from elsewhere to buy and work
them. About $40, 900 have now been
spent and the result is found in two OF
three small pamphlets much of them
reprint, which few persons ever see and
fewer read.

HOW MUCH LONGER.

How much longer the census bureau
is to continue to send out it's mortgage
reports and how much longer the daily
capitalistc press will parade the stats
tics thus furnished to show that the
farm mortgages do not amount to a
continental yFpeck, nobody can guess.
But another batch Of comforting" fig
ures have just been received, another
tornado of journalistic comment upon
this mortgage nonsense" has swept
the country and the source of supply
is still in good working order, says the
Farmers Voice.
This time it is Illinois mortgages that
are held up as the evidence of the re-
markable property of the farmer. 1t
appears that there are only 500, 600, 900
in mortgages on Illinois farms. What
is 500. 900, 900 to an editor who is hired
to write ''pieces" for a newspaper that
is owned by a national banker or an
English or American syndicate of CAPT
talistsG It is just a mere bagatelle. It
will only require an insignificant 300
600, 900 bushels Of wheat to pay that

THE PAsQUoTANK TRAGEDY.

A very unfortunate difficulty occur
red in Pasquotank county on the 22d
inst. Elk Sheriff James s. Wilcox, Re
publican, shot and killed Mr.. John E.
Brothers, Democrat, Registrar Of salem
township. Mr.. Wilcox insisted on see
ing that his friends were properly
registered and wanted to inspect the
registration books. This d~ispleased
Mr.. Brothers and brought on a diff
Guilty.
A colored man witnessed the diff
Guilty, but was some distance from the
two men, hence their own statements
are the main evidence. Brothers said
in his ante morGem statement that he
ordered Wilcox out Of his house, or
rather his step fathers house, and as
he went out struck at him with a cane.
Wilcox claims that Brothers struck
him repeatedly before he shot, and that
he killed Brothers to save his life. The
colored man also testified that Wilcox
had been knocked down and fired the
two pistol shots while lying On the
ground and Brothers was using the
stick vigorously. At any rate it was a
most unfortunate occurrence, regretted
by all peace loving, law-abiding citi-
zens, and it is useless for the little Wall
street newspapers to attempt to make
political capital out of it.

]. A. WALLER HEARD FROM.

We met Mr.. John A. Waller, of
Kuap of Reeds, Granville county, on
the Fair grounds last Thursday, and
he authorized us to say that the report
published in the NeaUs and Observer and
copied in other papers throughout the
State to the effect that he had left the
Peoples party and would vote the
Democratic ticket, was absolutely and
unqualiiedly false. There was not
even the shadow of a foundation for
the report. Hesays he would have de-
nounced the lie and it's authors sooner
but for troubles on account of the re,
cent illness and death Of his wife.
Sifted to the bottom, we find most of
such reports false.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Five cent cotton and 40 cent wheat
are still on the stump. They are great
vote makers.
The CO operative ticket will win in
the State next Tuesday. But eternal
vigilance must be the price of victory.
Don't let the enemy count you out.
Read the excellent speeches of ex-
Senator Lyman Trumbull and Henry
D. Lloyd, both of Chicago, printed on
the 4th page. They state the Use
clearly and convincingly.
When we told you that you would
sell cotton at four or five cents, a few
years ago, if there was not a change,
some of you didn't believe it. Now
you see that We had it figured down
fine.
One of the latest and most prominent
additions to the party Of the people is
Col. Felix N. Cobb, Of Georgia. He
repudiated the party of Wall street on
the 18th instant, in a speech at Car
rolton.
The State Fair just closed, was the
most successful that has been held in
years. The attendance and exhibits
were all that could be desired. We
will give soma account of the exhibits
in the next issue.
In looking for the Quantico train rob
bers it is strange the detectives have
not arrested some of the ballot box
rogues in Virginia on suspicion. PEG
pie who steal votes would not hesitate
at a little thing like train robbing.
The Chinese Japanese war goes mer-
rily on. They are not fighting much
now, but doing a lot of clustering.
Japan is not going to have a walkover
after all. China can year her out
simply by waiting.
The outlook for reform grows
brighter every day. The co opera
tive ticket will win in the State by a
large majority provided every worker
sticks to it up to the day of election.
and the Wall street contingent are not
allowed to count US out.

THE FACTORY.

Our business manager has been a
busy man since the State Alliance
meeting last August. It is enough to
tax the skill of anyone to keep the
financial department of this paper up
such times as these. Still he has been
pouring over statistics and trying to in
terest the brotherhood in the factory
move; and Notwithstanding we have
been in the midst of the most exciting
and hotly contested campaign this
State has ever witnessed, the news
from all sections of the State is a
unanimous approval of the enterprise,
and shows a determination on the part
of every member to do his whole duty
along this line. The move is solidify-
ing our ranks and adding new mem
bers to the order already throughout
the State, and contributions from in
dividuals, from Sub and from County
Alliances are being reported by almost
every mail. Brethren throughout thu
State, talk it up and do as Wax
countv-hold called meetings to dis
cuss it and report at the outside no
later than December LIST. what yo'
have done and what you will do.
