THOSE ELECTRIC KICKS
Rapid Progress Being Made in Completing
the System

PASADENA, March 27.-The electric
road people have been coming in for a
deal of kicking of late ON account of slow
ness in completing their line between this
city and Los Angeles. Some members of
the City Council have seen fit to criticise
their manner of procedure very severely,
and have intimated that the company was
inclined to run over the interests OF the
people in the manner of construction of
their road.
company is deserving of the amonnt of
kicking which it has recently received. for
several reasons, while there is no doubt

/ wish to inform the Alliance gener-

spIendsd success We had hesitated
some time to call this meeting, fearing
lest we should not be able to feed the
audience or pay the speaker. But l
am happy to say that we succeeded
splendidly, and that Farmville Sub
Alliance was greatly strengthened and
encouraged by the effective speech OF
our worthy State Lecturer. The meet
ing was not well advertised, but all the
seats in our large hall vas filled with
Alliancemen and their sympathizers.
Our Sub initiated FIVE that day and
plans were perfected for re organizing
Falkland Alliance. Bro. Hoover is to
be with the brethren at Falkland on
the first Saturday of next month, when
he will deliver an Alliance lecture to
the public andre organize that Alliance,
which has been dormant for nearly a
year. If we could get Bro. Hoover to
spend a month in Pitt county, | believe
the membership of the Order would be
more than doubled.
long to see the day when the farm
ers, regardless of party, will rally
around the Alliance banner, and when
all who can will be members, and then
others will be willing to follow those
who are. Isee and appreciate the need
of a vigorous farmers organization
every day, and I believe that a great
many others are of the same mind.

THINKS THEY ARE GOING TO
HELL.

A negro who stole a COW from the
editor of the Forest City Ledger was
recently sent to the penitentiary for
four years. If all the fellows who steal
from editors were sent to the peniten-
tiary it would be so full of them that
their feet would stick out of the win
dows. In our 30 odd years experience
publishing a paper we have accumu-
lated S., 600 subscription debts that we
will take one fourth of a cent on the
dollar for. Our deliberate opinion
is that the men who have de-
frauded US out of the just
fruits of our laborsr are as guilty Of
theft in the sight of the Almighty as
the negro who stole Editor Green's
cow. 1t is no consolation to think
that they will not escape hell in the
next world as easily as they have the
penitentiary in this.-Mt. Airy

he is now doing. AS soon as repairs
are sufficiently advanced, the offices OF
the State Alliance will be removed to
these quarters. Your Secretary-Trea
urer and Business Agent will be ex
pected to move their families and make
their homes upon the premises not
later than January 1sr, 1896
Now, brethren, your committee has
secured for you a valuable property,
and it behooves every one of you to
place necessary funds at their disposal
at once with which to purchase ma
chinery and begin the manufacture Of
leather and shoes, collars and harness.
A tannery must be the first considera
ton, in order that we may not be at
the mercy of the leather trust. This
can be built and ready for operating at
a small cost. Tt is useless to say to you
that it requires money to equip and
run any enterprise. This is no excep-
ton. Shall we have it, This is yOOT
enterprise. We know you will not
allow it to suffer. To do so will injure
materially your own interest. To fos
ter and encourage it is to build for
yourselves and ~posterity. With this
property as a nucleus the possibilities
of the Alliance are unfathomable. We
are situated in the midst of a fine belt
of oak and hickory timber. Bark for
tanning. and timber for manufacture
of agricultural implements are in great
abundance. We are directly on n of

prise. Shall we improve the oppor-
tunity before us9 We claim, and have
a right to expect, your words of cheer
and financial support. We could not
locate at but one place, and while some
may be disappointed that we did not
locate where they specially desired and
thought proper, yet your committee,
weighing all thing for the good Of the
Alliance only, and acting with their
best judgment, have selected this site.
No healthier place can be found in
North Carolina, a necessary requisite
for manufacturing enterprises. Many
delegates to the last State Alliance
pledged their counties literally for this
purpose. Some few of the pledges have
been fulfilled. The advancement of
work is dependent upon all these
pledges being met promptly, and upon
still further contributions. At our
meeting in January we expect to break
ground for the tannery and have it put
into immediate operation. The shoe
machinery will be ordered and put in
position as 0 thereafter as possible.
1t need not be many weeks before we
shall be turning out shoes.

to do your part, and we shall expect
you to do it. F~raternally,

a good condition for drilling. Since
that, however, it has been better. The

the defect will be remedied another
