how those who have joined it allow
themselves to be fooled off by enemies
of the Order, their names suspended
from the roll book and, finally see
their lodge go down-surrender to the
money power-without an effort to
prevent it is something the writer
doesn't understand.
There are other things, too, we can't
see into now, but-yes-but maybe
we will after awhile.
For our lives we can't see what good
can come from abuse, let it be an indi-
vidual of an individual, neighborhood
of a neighborhood, or even a State Of q
State or Nation, is silly and unwise. 1t
is not wise even for political opponents
to abuse and misrepresent each other,
but rather ought to make a clean and
clear statement of facts and let the peo-
pie say who is right. Now, we think
if 8. Ohio Wilson, (tor whom we have
held high regardp) had, (after his re-
moval from Office, pursued a course
similar to the above instead Of abuse,
it would have been better for all. Sena.
tor Butler has proven his loyalty to the
people in a thousand ways, and inc
man, even though he be a rail1bad
commissioner, can make the people
lose faith in a man who has so ablF de
Tended their cause, not only by pes and
on the stump Il his native State, but
his voice has crossed the Potomac,
gone into the halls of Congress and did
not stop even there till it had leTelled
the Hills~of the great State Of New
York. Yes, we are all proud Of our
Senator or "Huckle5erry statesman
as the editor Of the Hayseeder chooses
to call him; but the thing we hate is
that we have go few statesmen" OF
the Butler stripe.
Now, Nj. Hayseeder, don't you think
it would be the best policy to turn your
guns on the real enemy and stop firing
into your own camp, unless you are
secretly aiding TIE enemy, or want
them to succeed9 The people will
judge. Fraternally yours,

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
NASHVILLE, n. O., %, 1897.
The Nash County Farmers Alliance
held a very good and pleasant meeting
at Elm Grove Church October 18th.
Several good talks were made by the
brethren. The remarks of Bro. Lang,
ley, our delegate to the last State meet
ing, were very interesting, but not
quite so much as we had hoped, for we
all wanted to hear not only that ar
rangements were complete for starting
the shoe factory, but that it was (or is)
making shoes. ''Shoes, Bro. Denmark,
fg what we want, and we must confess
that we are getting restless trying to
keep from getting restless. We have
waited patiently and patiently waited,
and it seems that natures God has
blessed us with warm weather thus
far, but we know that winter is surely
coming. 1t is said ''there is a time
when patience ceases to be a virtue, -
and we know there is q time when it
does not make shoes" Many of the
brethren have laid in their winter sup
ply and others will do so soon, and II
the factory doesn't start before long,
much loss to the Order, boSh numeri-
cal and financial, will be the result, I
fear. The Alliance is the farmers or
ganization, and must not die, wen
though a factory wheel of it's own
never turns, and it should be kept
strong enough to make all political
parties fear it. Just how any farmer

FROM MOORE COUNTY

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmers
EILLANow, N. @. Oct. %, 81
Our County Alliance met at Bethe
hem Academy on the 18th inst. Have
waited for our County Secretary to
give you the particulars, but be Saems
otherwise engaged.
We held a pleasant and I hope a
profitable meeting. The fair sex, as is
always the case, in that section, were
present with their radiant faces and
well filed baskets.
Our young friend, Miss Kennedy,
who teaches the school at that place
kindly vacated the Academy with her
charge of forty bright boys and girls
for che Alliance meeting.
The brethren discussed everything,
from the shoe factory to postal savings
banks. We subscribed $50 to the shoe
factory, to be paid in leather, which
will be forwarded In a few days.
Our next meeting is to be held at
Jonesboro. We would hope to have
some of Il once great and shining
lights with us on that occasion to
'Whoop US up" but alasl our hopes in
that direction have taken their ever
lasting departure, we fear. The ALI
ance as it grows older realizes the mis-
takes it has made. We elevate our
brainy men to positions Of honor,
trust and profit and then, with few ex
captions, they are lost to the Alliance,
If we continue to elevate u friends
in this way, we lose them. I met a
friend at Raleigh, whom in my humble
way, I had assisted to promote, He
hardly knew me in that throng of wit,
wisdom and wind that infests the Park
Hotel. Hereafter when we vote for
men to fill public positions, leE's vote
for our enemies; then we cannot ex-
'pect to lose anything.
As the shoe factory is soon to start,
q suggestion may not be amiss. It is
believed by all that the enterprise will
be the means of kindling some sort of
revival In our order. This depends
much upon the way in which the bust
ness is managed. If the Executive
Committee has discretion enough to
arrange their plans wisely (and We
think it hss), and give the brethren
some advantages over outsiders, then
there will be some incentive, some
.sNimulant to work for the success Of
the undertaking. There lie another
danger TO the enterprise. Shylock has
both eyes open-yea, more than a
hundred eyes, and what little praying
he does is for the downfall of our IN
dertHking. II he sees a chance he will
bride anybody-from Superintendent
down 10 the janitor. No one need take
the fAttering JUNCTION to his soul that
it will never in some way be attempted.
Let those on guard with argus eyes re-
member that eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty" v. N. SEAWELL.

HE GREATEST RIDE IN HISTORY.


A territory of 27L,O0O square miles,
comprising Washington, Idaho n
Oregon as they are to day, was saved
to the Union by n man. He had
the courage and heroism to ride on
muleback for three thousand miles.
The ride was thrilling, the trials and
hardships marvellous, the result a
glorious me-. The whole story, beautl-
fully illustrated, will be given in the
November issue of The Ladies' Home
Journal, under the title, "When DR..

1.-THE BUSINESS OF A WHEAT FARM\
is the leading article in ScrlonerN
Magazine for November. It is written
by William Allen White, author OF
whats the Matter with Kansas3" He
took a special trip to the Dakota wheat
regions to write this article, where
they reap by the square mile and build
branch railroads to carry the crops off
the farms.
Seven thousand acres present the
average bonanza farm" he writes.
Distances across fields are so great
! that horse back communication is i'm
practicable. Crews of workingmen
living at n end of the farm and oper-
ating it may not see the crews in other
corners from seasons end to seasons
end. Tnis illustration may give one
sort Of a rough conception Of the big
ness of these farms Here is another
point Of view: Averaging twenty bush
els to the acre-as many farms will
this year-the total number of bushels
in G crop on a bonanza farm would be
lao, 600; putting five hundred bushels
of that crop in a freight-car. and allow.
ing forty feet to the Car, the train which
would haul the crop from the farm,
would be two miles long"
But the bulk of his article il taken
up with the consideration of the com
pick business problems confronting the
mod, m farmer, who he says must be
a business man first now a-days, and a
uller Of the soil afterwards.

e W. Baum in the chair. After it's
usual business was transacted the
President had our State delegate, w.

was done at the State meeting in re
gard to the shoe factory. He did go,
and his remarks were very touching
in regard to the State meeting. The
Alliance seemed Satisfied and will wait
upon the State Executive Committee.
On motion, there was a committee
of three appointed to draft resolutions
thanking Governor Russell for stand
ing by the people.
RESOLUTIONS.
We, the Committee on Resolutions,
beg leave to submit the following re-
port:
WHEREAS, The taxpayers Of North
Carolina were robbed Of many thou
sand dollars in the North Carolina
Railroad lease deal, and thereby de-
pleting the treasury of QUIZ State; and
whereas, Governor Russell has shown
himself to be a friend to the taxpayers
by taking his stand upon the side Of
the people, end has done his best, as is
his duty as Governor of the State, to
protect the masses, that they may not
be imposed upon by the classes or by
railroad bosses and their paid tools;
and whereas, Chairman Wilson, of
the Railroad Commission, and S, Ohio
Wilson, also a Railroad Commissioner,
have been charged with having violated
the law governing the Commission,
and thereby rendering themselves to
tally unworthy Of the high trust re-
posed in them, (snd whereas) Governor
Russell has been prompt and faithful
in the discharge Of the high Office Of
Governor Of the State in investigating
and removing said Wilson's from Office
and placing in their stead men whom
we hope will be well worthy Of their
offices; therefore be it
ResOteed, That we, the officers and
LuCL4DC4S Vi SNAG4UOSA OOO4NE W
ers' Alliance, in session assembled, at
Moyock, Currisuck county, N, O., this
the 14th day Of October, 1897, do
heartily condemn the conduct of the
perpetrators of the 80 year lease as be-
ing an act such as can only ONE from
a Judas or an Arnold, and we say it
stands as a blot upon the record of
our dear old State.
2. That whereas, said Chairman Viii
son and said s.. Ohio Wilson, on inves-
tigation, having been found guilty. Of
the above said charges, We Join unani-

manly course of Governor Russell as
being worthy of the respect and ad-

GERMANIA BANK's TAXES.
Paul QuehI Will Bring the Subject
Up Again.

County Commissioner Paul Quehl
has decided to bring up the matter of
the proposed abatement of the taxes Of
the Germania bank at the next meet
ing of the county board. Speaking of
the subject yesterday Mr.. Quehl said:
''Mr G. Willius presented a typewriter
request to the board of county commission
ers for a partial abatement of their taxes
for the year 1896. Upon the motion of
member of the board the matter referred
when that committee met, that he be al
lowed to appear before it. When the COM
mittee met he did appear, and stated that
among other things the National German
American bank some few years ago. under
similar circumstances, had their taxes abat
ed some $1,000, which case was a precedent.
l did not thoroughly that moment understand
the proposition, and Mr. Hardick explained
that to leave it stand some people would be
taxed twice in this matter. Finally, after
some more explanations, the, com
taxes be cut to nine hundred and
some dollars, which recommendation passed
the board without a dissenting vote. When
Mr. Killerman claims that he was asked to
vote for this measure he says what is not
