Hartford County Farmers Alliance
IS still on a boom, Its members are
lively and hopeful. The county meet
ing was held with MenoIa Sub Alliance.
Menola is situated on the Potecasa
creek, surrounded by lovely homes for
tanners, and the homes are surround
ed by beautiful fields of cotton, corn.
peanuts and other products that make
man aud beast feel hopeful. The Sub
Alliances IN the county were all rep.
resented and their credentials show
Improvement.
I wrote you that we had a resolution
that I might send to you for publica-
ton after this meeting, but it was killed
and buried 50 deep that I cannot resur-
rect it, 60 l cannot give il to you for
publication. Here is one that I hope
will fad its way in every home and
heart IN this country:
Re8OlUed, That we believe that a
greater necessity for the orgauizati0l
heretofore chartered under the laws Of
North Carolina known as Hertfor1
County Alliance exist, than ever be
fore.
Bros. E 7. Snipes, J. S. Mitchell.
W. 7. BoIes and others discussed this
resolution. E. T. Snipes said: I'VE
must keep on the ellert. Something
will come to us. The fields my be SIN.
cerely cultivated but I believe there is
much in the future for US T. g
Copeland said: Il do not ind rtake
anything that I do not want to make a
success. When my country called for
me in its struggles 1 was nov orc co 0i-
vide the Union, but when the South
called for my services l was too proud
to desert her. Will we be less loyal in
our struggles to free ourselves from
financial slavery 2" J. S. Mitchell said:
I'VE must stand together as q unit IN
this organization if We want to be re-
epected by the lawmakers of this c0un-
try" John f. Newsom said: we
must have more life and push our de-
mands to the front" W. 7, BOIes said:
Il love to see the sisters take such en-
teress IN the pushing forward of this
work" B f. Barerly said: Il be.
lieve it is TO be a part of my Christian
religion to school myself and others in
the principles and demands Of the Al
lianc4." J II Evans said: 81 haven't
got to Baker in completing my educa-
tion of the Alliance demands and aims
of the Order. And I know OF no one
who can claim to be a graduate in the
principles Of our great Order.
The election of officers was harmon
ious. Bro R J. Taylor, uoder whose
administration the Order has improved
was the choice of every man and wo,
man present. His executive ability
and the mild way Of preserving order
makes him the Captain of the Alliance
ship in Hartford for the next year.
Bro. J S Mitchell's hard work as sec
rotary treasurer forced him to that %.
eition the second time, and | would
hint if any Of III neighbor counties
want a good Alliance talk they wliinot
make a mistake if they call on HIm.
Bro. J, B. Vaughn was made the dele
gate to the State Alliance because he 1s
no politician. He wants no office. Iae
grand rally and picnic will come Of
the first week in August. There will
be more notice OF this. A resolution
OF thanks was rendered the ladies OF
Menola for the nice Refreshments a'd
the warm welcome given the brethren
at Menola. I am satisfied thai t-s7is
one Of the causes of our god op1Iai9H
Of Menola. TIE ladies take SD win
Mary Of old. Taey love TO com.or]
Bro. T. T. Speight did not tura UP az
we hoped, as our meeting wa s9ne
distance from Winton, and our E2ace
was too short, but we want hun 10
come and we will hear him.
