Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
WIGGINs x ROADS, N. g.

speak on the crop Of Vegetation now in
the Old North State, but of the crop
planted and cultivated by the reform
ers Of of this fair land of OURS and
around whose bright silver standard
we expect to throw up our old hats Gt
we have any on the return of the
reapers from the harvest fields on the
9Th OF next November. Rally around
the flag boys for there is strength in
union. We must strive for the inter
est of labor, uphold the hands of such
men as Butler, Teller and DIR. Thomp.
son. Men that if they ind their party
wrong will confess their party is
wrong, leave it and go for the right.
Mr.. Butler and DR.. Thompson left the
Democratic ranks and are now with
the POpulists for reform and silver.
Mr.. Teller left the Republican ranks
ands and is now a silver man, and if he
is the POpulist party will be his home
You will find such men worthy of your
confidence, and had l space and time,
both of which would take an immense
quantity to mention even the leading
men Of each party that say they must
have a home with US, for they must
have free silver to save our beloved
country from financial ruin and there
Is no hope for that from either Of the
old parties.
Where is the President Of the Al
%liance2 In my beloved old home
ty, Edgecombe. Capt. J. B. Lloyd, is
a gentleman of old Edgecombe, and we
will ever be proud of him, for he is u
of her nOblesG sons. Let US hear from
you Capt. Lloyd, if only a few words.
Who do you think a come nearest
carrying the South and West. Who
ever re is, is the n for US to draw
out for the Presidents chair, for the
south and West must come together
for the laboring class and for the
masses of the people before we a be
once more free from the gOldbugs of
this and other nations. Everybody to
the wheel now until November the 9Th,
which tells the story.
Use every means to awaken the PEG
pie from their sleep. The pen, the
voice and arm. 1t may be like mine,
feeble but God uses the weak things of
this world for a good purpose ard every
power ne has given is for His glory
through time to get ready for eternity
live not for self alone but for the glory
of His name, and the good of the hu
man race. he gave us silver to use as a
money or exchange our soil supplies
gold, silver, copper and VT need them
for exchange and no man has the right
to say this nation shall not have both
if they wish it
Major Guthrie seems just now to be
the proper man for our next Governor
r J udge Clark, and a man of sound
convictions, with backbone enough to
act those convictions, will ever be ad-
mired and such a mrn is Walter Clark,
His actions in that E ambling case in
r aleigh several years ago gave him a
warm spot in the hearts Of his honest
country men and won the respect of his
dishonest fellow beings. Such a man
W I'D make US an honest Governor,
and his run would be good with honest
people. l hope the men of this gener
a,iOn will show to the old gray haired
vetrans that are passing so rapidly
over the river to rest with Jackson,
one of their beloved leaders under the
shade of the trees, that they are
capable of managing this government
with equal rights to Gil and special
privileges to none," and may stand
fl it footed on the money of our fathers
and grand fathers, the silver dollar.
They feel that they would like to look
back from the borders of eternity On
this country, the portion Of Gods
globe they done such hard fighting for
and many Of them are lame and
MANNED for lie By the war. They
would like to know that their children
by working could make q living and
lay aside enough to bury them decent
