Help the Farmers.

Editor Populist In view OF
the widespread want produced in
our parish by the drouth this last
summer, it seems to me there should
be some attempt made to relieve
the hardships that will fall upon
the farmers. l know our police
Jury has done all in its power by
distributing some food stuffs among
those who are worst off, but that is
not sufficient. If every dollar
brought from the cotton made in
most of the parish was spent for
supplies next year, there would
not be enough to keep the people
in rations until another crop can
be made. In all the hill part OF
the parish, corn was almost COM
plete failure, and nearly every dol
lar that came from the sale of the
little cotton made is owing to the
merchants on the supply bill on
which the crop was made. There
will be but little money to spare to
buy corr with, but corn must be
had, and think the merchants OF
the towns tributary to the Texas
and Pacific railroad should united
ly 90 to work to get the road to
haul the corn at the lowest posi-
BILE figure, and the merchants ought
to be willing to let the farmers
have the corn without profit, de-
pending upon the greater output
of the crop in the coming year,
mean where the corn is sold for
cash, and where it is sold on time
the charge should only be sufficient
to cover the use of the money
tied up. Our people are in much
greater need than those who have
not been among them can imagine.
There are families who at this time
have not a barrel of corn IN their
cribs, and a long and probably
hard winter before them. Let
some public spirited man take the
lead in this matter, and others will
do their duty Immediately. The
farmers prosperity means more
for the merchants and others who
make their living by non-produc-
tive professions and when our farm
ers suffer other professions are
hOund fO suffar LATER IN.
/ hope these few lines will get
some one to move in the mat ter,
who can have some influence with
the transportation companies, for
they can do much to relieve the
people in this their day of trial
and hardship.
Respectfully,
]. A. TETS.

among the people, and it will not
be supported any more now nor
hereafter.
Democrats had charge of the
government for nearly four years,
and they played the people false
grossly and brutally false. In the
campaign just closed the Peoples
party Joined forces with the Demo-
Gratis and the Democrats again
played the people false-grossly
and brutally false. There Is
no virtue in them. We are
done with them now and forever,

From the Raleigh Caucasian pub
lished by Senator Butler.
1t is probably idle to 90 back
now and review the causes which
led to the defeat of Mr.. Bryan,
but the chiefest among them all
was the brutal stupidity of the
goldbug nominee for Vice Presi-
dent in declining to retire from
the national ticket supported by
those forces declaring for reform.
1t may not be altogether correct
to assert that this stupidity lis the
sole cause of defeat, but it is GER
tain that many people who favor
reform could not be persuaded to
believe in the sincerity of such a
man as Arthur Sewall, and we
have no hesitation in saying they
were right. We have asserted be-
fore that he was put on the tick
ct by the schemers to defeat it,
and we say so now. The object
for which he was put up has been
accomplished.
Another cause of the defeat was
the failure of the party represent
ed by the Chicago Convention to
support the Bryan ticket. If that
party had given two-thirds as many
votes to Bryan as it gave to CIeve-
land four years ago, Bryan would
have been elected.
The announcement now comes
that Mr.. Bryan declares he will
continue to fight the battle of re-
form. 1t is we'll, perhaps, that
be will do so. He is an able lead
er, and it may be that none can
now be found to equal him. But
great events can be evolved within
the next four years, and, speak
ing now for the Peoples party of
North Carolina, and we believe for
the nation, we take the liberty of
serving notice upon Mr.. Bryan
that if he desires to head the re-
form forces of the Peoples party
in the next fight he must do so
under some other name than that
of Democrat. That name has be-
come a reproach and stencil

Our thoughtful and mature read :
ers will be thrilled, we believe, by
ssNemo's" article this week. AS
far as we know there is nowhere
in literature a similar grouping OF
things to be thankful for. We
think we can detect throughout the
PRAYER a yelled argument from ma
ture for the existence of God. We
are permitted to explain that "Ne,
mo" is engaged in business, and
that his weekly letter is the result
of the utilization of spare morn
ing and evening moments.
