hereby beg leave to make this my an
nual report as Lecturer for the State.
IL is a source of much regret to me to
have to report that but little has been
done on this line in the absence of any
appropriation. | have been unable to
carry and send the great truth of the
Alliance to any new quarters or to
visit even those places in which we
have our greatest strength. I find,
however, IN the places ] have been that
the Alliance sentiment is strong.
| visited the counties of Robson,
BERTHE, Franklin, Wilson, and some
other places, have reorganiz9d many
sub Alliances.
I would recommend that the lecture
system be taken in your ha1 d., and that
if possible, some means be adopted to
revive our lecturing system. l regard
this as the great arm Of the service, if
it shall continue paralyze the order
will continue to suffer. Restore it's
strength and you give new life to the

Truly thanking you for the honor
conferred On me during the past year,

North Carolina, to wit: Leave to bring
action in the name of the State for the
purpose of vacating the charter of the
North Carolina Railroad or for such
other relief as the court may see fit to
grant in the premises, and did threaten
to dismiss the action unless confined
to the vacation of the charter of the
North Carolina Railroad.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the
Farmers State Alliance in convention
assembled at Hillsboro, N. c.:
1. That we denounce this action of
the Attorney. General es unworthy of
the great Office he holds.
2. That while we recognize the great
benefits conferred upon the common
wealth by railways, as servants Of the
people, we dread the consolidation Of
our commercial highways in the HANDS
Of any one corporation as subversive
of the liberties and rights of the people.
3. That to prevent this OverWhelm-
ing calamity to North Carolina we urge
all citizens of our beloved State to unite
rega1 dlees of party ties IN demanding
the amendment of the lease of the
North Carolina Railroad to the South
ern Railway Company.
4 That we favor a constitutional
prohibition of the purchase, lease, or
rental Of con p9ting Or parallel lines Of
railways, and that the North Carolina
Railroad, the Southern Railway, the
Atlantic Coast Line, the Cape Fear and
Yadkln Valley Railway and the Sea-
board Air Line be dlfned as compel
ing lines.
5 That we pledge ourselves as ALI
ancemen and urge all citizens, regard
less of party ties to refuse to vote for
any candidate for Governor, Attorney,
General or member of the legislature
who will not pledge himself to use his
best endeavors to secure the enactment
of the sentiment of these resolutions
into law.

VOTE FOR WATSON OR GET OUT

It the Democrats really want free
silver let them take down Mr.. S9wall
and vote for Tom Watson. Until they
do this the Pops will have no faith in
their assertions. If they are too re
spectacle to vote for a Pop then the
Pops will be too respectable to vote for
them. If they refuse to do this the
only thing left for US to do is to put up
a Pop for President and all stand to
gether for the glory of our grand
party.-Lumberton Populist.
