DAMAGING TO DURRANT's CASE
Fatal Admissions Made by the Prisoner
to Boothlaok.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21-The prosecu-
tion in the trial of Theodore Durant has
found witness who will testify that
everything was not right in Emanuel
church prior to the murder of Blanche La
mont and Minnie Williams This witness
Is a colored bootblack named Budd Will
son. He said to Detective Seymour:
II knew King and Durrant so well that
they talked freely with me-" said he. "At
first was surprised that such religious
young men should be carrying on in such a
fashion, but after a while concluded they
were about the same as other young men.
l learned from these two boys themselves
that they were taking girls to the church
every night. l often heard them tell of
the fun they had there, and of the differ
ent girls who accompanied them l know
of five girls who used to go to the church
with these boys. The people in the mission
would be very much surprised if they knew
who the girls were They all belong to re
spectacle families, and the worst of it all
is that their parents never dreamed that
such things were going on"

YOUNG TELEGRAPH OPERATORS

It is stated as a fact that a majoritv
of the railroad telegraph operators in
North Carolina are under 10 years of
age. This is wrong. The lives of the
travelling public should not be in the
hands of new beginners. The great
increase in accidents and collisions is
doubtless largely due to this cause.
We understand that there is a bill
before the legislature to remedy this
matter. 1t ought to pass. We think
the owners of the railroads are begin
ming to e their great mistake.
Prof. Arthur T, Abernethy, A. M, of
Rutherford College, has favored us
with a letter on this subject. Prof.
Abernethy is practical railroad teleg.
rapher, having followed that occupa
ton for several years. He is author of
a government book on telegraphy, and
therefore, an authority. The editor of
The DiGie TeLegrapher, also an author
ity, says:
1T is folly to expect a telegraph
superintendent to inspect and govern
the operating ability of his men"
Prof. Abernethy is of the opinion
that a State Examiner should be elected
at a moderate salary, whose duty
should be to visit every railroad tele-
graph Office in the State, examine the
operators as to age, ability and COM
potency, and report any and all incom-
potent operators. The bill before the
legislature provides for something of
this kind and, IF passed, doubtless
would tend to reduce the number of
railroad accidents very greatly.

MEETING OF NATIONAL ALL
ANCE,

The prospects for a full and import
ant meeting of the National Alliance
here February 9Th, grow better every
day. Much important business will
come before the meeting.
Members Of the L. L. Polk Alliance
living in and near the city, and other
friends, will take the delegates and
officers to their homes and entertain
them during the meeting. Lowest pos
sible rates will be secured for all visit
ing brethren from this and other States.
By entertaining the delegates and Off
GERS the National Alliance will not be
drawn upon so heavily for expenses of
the meeting and the brethren will be
taken care of and made comfortable
and to feel at home. In purchasing
tickets at any point in the United
States, get a certificate from the agent
so you can secure q one-third rate re-
turning.

QUITE TRUE.

We are sorry to see that so many of
ourAlliance brethren elostt their zeal
in the work. We know times are hard,
money is scarce and that time is pre-
cious, yet if vi neglect the only organ
ization in the interest of the farmers
and laboring men, we will be the suffer
ers. 1t has saved farmers millions of
dollars, and will continue to do so, if
they will stick to it, which is an abso,
lutte necessity.-HIckory Mercury.

THE LATEST

It has just been discovered that this
Congress has passed a bill c~landestine-
" to increase their income in a small
way. They long ago voted themselves
1925 annually to pay their postage.
The section of a new law reads as fol.
lows:
"The Vice President, members, and
members elect of, and delegates and
delegates elect to Congress shall have
the privilege of sending through the
mails, and under their frank, any mail
matter to any government official or
to any person, correspondence not ex
ceeding one ounce in weight, upon off
cial or departmental business"
Of course they neglected to repeal
the section of the old law, giving them
1925 annually for this purpose, and
they will pocket that in addition to
franking their letters through the mails.
1t is believed that the section above
was aided to the bill after it was read,
or else was not noticed by the honor
able members when the bill was read

The North Carolina lawmakers put
in some more new bills yesterday.
Reduce, repeal and change" is their
cry. They even want to change
Thanksgiving Day. The next thing
we know they will not want us to have
Christmas on the 25th of December,
and they will want to change Easter to
about the middle of the week. The
Populists and Republicans together are
a great combination. They appear to
be dissatisfied with everything as it
now stands. -DurbGm Daily San.

NOTICE.

To attendants on the Supreme Coun-
Gil of the National Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union to be held at
Raleigh, N. c., on the 9Th of February,
1895. The general passenger agents of
the Southern railroads at my request
have recommended to all their connec-
tions a rate of one fare and a third for
those who attend the national meeting.
I can't say how many of the roads will
agree to this rate, but let all who at
tend ask for the rate and take receipt
for money paid. Your return will be
made on the certificate of the secretary
that you attend the meeting. State
secretaries will please send in their re-
ports at once. All reform papers copy.

8. That the action of both branches
of the General Assembly, now in ses-
sion, repeating Chapter 1877 of the Acts
of the Gaueral Assembly of 1898,
changing the State Alliance Charter,

this matter, which is of such great I'M

THOSE GAY D~RCEIVERs.

Senator David B. Hill is the hero in
the latest plutocratic novel. It is a
yellow (gold) backed novel. He still
wants to be President and Democratic
~plutocratic circles are all in an uproar.
The excitement is simply intense.
They want David B. to succeed
that is, if the people can be humbugged
into voting for him. Otherwise David
will be left at home and some other
baldheaded goldbug will suit Wall
Street just as well.
In 1892 Wall Street sent David down
South to feel the public pulse. He
counted the pulsations in the wrists of
the legislative solons of Alabama and
made a speech at the State capitol.
But it was no good. He came to At
lanta. The excitement over the event
caused but few heart failures. He
ever made a speech at Charlotte while
the other passengers were eating SUD-
per, and perhaps at other places. All
of it fell fat. Wall Street was disap-
pointed and concluded that Cleveland
was the fellow who could set the hair
on the Southern voter.
Now they are putting Hill forward
again. He has ~resurrected a letter
~purporting to have been written to an
Atlanta editor in 1892 in which Hill
swore eternal love for silver. For two
long disastrous years the country has
been going to hades at a fearful rate
largely because silver has too few
friends, among the Democratic repre-

EDITORIAL NOTES.

To the successful candidates belong
the spoils.
Six members of the present 1egisIa-
t1re aaGGs|GF to the uncommon name of
Smith.
Our State solons are not doing as
much as former legislators. Not n
bill relating to catching fish in or near
C~ontentnea creek has been introduced.
Fishing is a very uncertain sport.
In throwing out a line on the subject,
we may be pardoned for suggesting
that very few seine men ever go fish
ing.
The Mercury, a model Alliance paper
dropped all the way from Hickory to
Raleigh Wednesday, in the person of
editor J. T. Click, who is a legislative
clerk.
Now that Governor Carr has written
his %, 900 word message, and it has
been read before the legislature, the
Governor has nothing to do but sit and
watch his mustache grow.
If it is not out of order, we rise to
suggest that if the Public Printers
salary is to be let out to the lowest bid
der, why not go further and let out the
salaries of the members of the legisla-
ture in the same way-and, in fact,
everything else9 No discrimination,
please.
Congressman Jerry Simpsc1, of
Kansas, is nothing if not a humorist.
Last Wednesday he stated on the floor
of the House that as the representa-
tives of the Democratic and Republi-
can parties were so backward about
claiming the credit of killing the
Carlisle currency bill, he would now
claim that honor on behalf the Peoples
party.
The Lodge Weekly is the title OF a
handsome and interesting paper just
started in this city. It will represent
three great orders, Odd Fellows,
-Masons and P~ythians, each having
several thousand members In the State.
Bros. Smith, Faison and Andrews are
the editors and managers. Leading
men in the different secret societies
will contribute to it weekly. 1t ought
to meet with success.
The chief event on the other side of
the big pond during the past week was
the resignation of a. Casimir- Perier,
President of France, who was elected
some months ago to succeed President
Carnot, who was ~assasinated. N.
Francis Felix Faure, members of the
Chamber of Deputies, was elected to
fill the vacancy. The cause of the
resignation of such an important posi-
tion is a mystery, and was entirely un
expected.
The 6 per cent interest bill is not
calculated to break down bankers in
the State, and will not do 30. Bank
ers and private individuals who may
have a+little money to lend will still
have an opportunity to do a profitable
business and the great mas of bust

M LOST, WHY7

We have received two letters since

opened, and were open when we re
ceived them. Each of these letters
came in our well known private en-
envelopes, directed with large, plain
type to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
RALEIGH, N. @. Each OF these letters
enclosed a Postal Money Order, made
payable to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
Tt is evident that we would not have
seen either of them had they enclosed
cash instead Of money orders.
Nor is this all. Recently we have
received several letters complaining
that we did not receipt for money sent

which We have not get received. In
these cases it was money sent by mail
and unregistered instead of money
orders.
For the protection of our friends, and
all others concerned, we would advise

Money Orders can be procured at any
