CHATHAM COUNTY ALLIANCE
MEETING.

We clip from the Chatham Citizen
the following account Of the Chatham
meeting:
''The Chatham County Farmers Al
lance met in the court house here last
Thursday. There were twenty-five
Sub Alliances represented-ninett en- by
delegates.
After hearing repores through the
delegates as to the wishes Of the vari,
GUS Sub Alliances in regard to starting
the Alliance shoe factory at Hilsboro,
the following resolution introduced by
John W. Atwater, was passed:
Resolved, That the delegate to our
State Alliance be instructed to vote to
use so much as is necessary OF the
State Business Agency fund to start
the shoe factory located at Hillsboro,
N. c., using his best efforts to have the
Business Agency fund properly secured
for all amounts advanced to this shoe
factory.
This was, indeed, a very pleasant and
interesting meeting. All were hopeful
that the shoe factory cansoon be started
and this practically interests every
true Allianceman in what the Alliance
is striving to do for him."

AGRKAr CONVENIENCE FOR
TRAVELLERS.

Pullman's Palace Car Company have
added the American Newspaper Annual
to the libraries on the "Pennsylvania
Limited, - Colonial Express" and other
trains of that class. The Wagner Palace
Gar Company have made similar pro-
vision for their passengers. This work
is also in the libraries Of nearly all the
ocean, coast, sound, lake and river
steamers.
The American Newspaper Annual is
an encyclopedia of newspapers and
periodicals published in the United
States, Territories and Dominion of
Canada, aud of gazetteer facts Of the
places in which they are published.
The gazetteer facts embrace population,
political complexion, transportation
and banking facilities, leading products
and industries, and other information
which is of especial interest when
travelling through these places.
The work is published by N. w.
Aver & Son, the we'll known. News
paper Advertising Agents of Philadel-
phia, and has long been recognized as
the authority on all matters of this
kind.
We feel confident that no more use
full volume can be found in the libraries
of these cars and steamers, and none
to which reference will oftener be
made. The newspapers of the country
and the travelling public generally will,
we are sure, be greatly benefited and
gratiied by this provision for their
convenience.

the twilight deepens, the great stars
first begin to fash their lights across
the heavens.
In the east glows the f1ery-red
Antares, In the heart Of the Scorpion;
toward the east is the harpo ( Orpheus,
with it's great blue star, still charming
the world with it's tiSful strains as they
fash across the star spangled heavens;
in the west Jupiter, like the Olympian
king, holds the scepter.
As the shadows deepen the lesser
lights steal forth. Perseus and An
dromeda, Oepheus and Cassiopeia
standing a silent warning to womanly
vanity. And as the messages are
flashed from star to star, soon the can
dies OF night are lighted, some beam
ing with a soft and tranquil light; some
twinkling and sparkling necessarily;
others as tiny points of light fade away
in a vain endeavor to pierce the dark
ness of the night.
As we drink in this scene Of wierd
and Wondrous beauty, as it we're a
draught from the waters of Lethe, OBJ
livion of the cares of the world comes
over ua.
In the presence of these matchless
works of His hand, where all is peace,
where all is harmony, our heart strings
can but vibrate in the same concord
ant strains, and in our hearts are
aroused our tenderest sentiments.
With Job we would murmer, "Csnst
thou bind the sweet influence Of the
PIeiadesG"
A feeling Of reverence, mingled with
awe comes over US for the creator Of
the glories of the ten thousand million
burning suns which roll and shine be-
yond the view of man, aye, even be,
yond 1.-The utmost bounds of human
thought" AS we gaze into the casket
of heavens j3weas, it almost seems as
if the veil were drawn aside, and in
the scene before US we might
catch glimpses of the glory Of the
mysterious beyond, where we may
traverse the boundless realm Of starry
worlds, where our knowledge shall not
be bounded by the walls which the inn
projections of earth rear about us, but
where, with his far seeing eye we
may indeed see and know the glories of
his domains, Of which, in our heavens
we catch but a faint glimpse of what is
only a little space in the completed
whole; where, hand in hand with our
Father, we may tread the starry maze
and ourselves be heirs of the amending
domains Of Him out Of whose throne
f1weEh the crystal waters of the
river Of life.

The fame of the American agricul-
tural colleges is extending over the
earth. Russia now has two represen-
tatives in this country who are making
a study OF the methods which obtain
in our colleges, and the other day Dean
Henry, of the Wisconsin Agricultural
College, had the distinguished pleasure
of entertaining them and showing bow
he was training the agricultural young
idea how to shoot. The recent advance
in agricultural science in the United
States is past all computation, and to

(OFFICIAL)
NATIONAL ALLIANCE DEMANDS.
Adopted at Washington, D. c., February
6. 1906.

6, 1896.
WHEREAS, The Declaration of Indes
pendence, as a basis for a Republican
form of Government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states:
THAT all men are created equal;
that they are endowed with certain IL
alienable rights; that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi.
ness; that to ecure these rights, gov
ernments are instituted among g
deriving their just powers from the
governed"
We hold, therefore, that to restore
and preserve these rights under a
Republican form OF government, pri-
va5e mOnOpolies of public necessities
for speculative purposes, whether of
the mean of production, distribution
or exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any such public necessity Or
utility becomes a monopoly in private
hands, the people of the municipality,
state or union, as the case may be-,
shall appropriate the same by right of
eminent domain, paying a just value
therefor, and operate them for, and in
the interest Of, the whole people.
FINANCE.
We demand a national rrenc
safe, sound and flexible; issued by the
general government only; a full legal
tender for all debts and receivable for
all dues, and an equitable and efficient
means Of distribution of this currency,
directly to the people, at the minimum
of expense and without the interven-
ton Of banking corporations and in
sufficient volume to transact the bust
ness OF the country on q cash basis.
(G) We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at the
legal ratio of Is to l..
l6 We demand a graduated income
tax.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1897-08-03

(c) That our national legislation shall
be so framed in the future as not to
build up one industry at the expense
of another.
(6 We believe that the money OF the
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands Of the people,
and hence we demand that all National
and State revenues shall be limited to
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment economically and honestly ad-
ministered.
(e) We demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe deposit of savings
of the people, and to facilitate ex-
change.
III We are ~unalterably opposed to
the issue, by the United States, of in
terest. bearing bonds. and demand the
payment of all coin obligations of the
United States, as provided by existing
laws, in either gold or silver coin, at
the option of the government and not
at the option Of the creditor.
TRANSPORTATION.
(G) The government shall purchase
or construct and operate a sufficient
mileage of railroads to efectually con-
troll all rates of transportation on a
just and equitable basis.
() The telegraph and telephone,
like the postofice system, being a ne
cessity for the transmission of intelli
gence, should be owned and operated
by the government in the interest Of
the people.
LAND.
We demand that no land shall be
held by corporations for speculative
purposes or by railroads in excess Of
their needs as carriers, and all lands
for actual settlers only.
ExECTIoN OF UNITED STATES SENATORS.
We demand the election of United
States Senators by a direct vote of the
people. That each State shall be di
vided into two districts of nearly equal

headed man that we have as delegate,
so we conferred upon Bro. W. E. Bow
ers as delegate, and Bro. r A Hunter
as alternate, knowing that neither will
do anything but what is for the inter
est of the Alliance. In our judgment
we think this the most important
State meeting we have ever had and
we do hope the brethren will keep out
self and work for the best interest of
our Order.
The following are the officers elected
for our County Alliance:
j. r Sherrin, President.
A. A White, Nice President.

We adj burned to meet with Mullens

THE POOR MANS ONLY HOPE.
Sec'y Halifax Co. f. A.

Speaking of the Local Taxation Elec-
ton August 1Oth, n man says:
Taxes are too high already I don't
want to pay any mor taxes" But
this man has children and wants to
educate them. If he sends them to a
public school like we now have, the
school will last only twelve weeks. He
cannot educate his children this way.
They will never learn much studying
twelve weeks and not studying forty
weeks. So this man decides to send
his BOY and girl to O private school.
How much must he pays He must
pay at least five dollars for the boy
and five for the girl. This is a tax of
ten dollars on him. But if he will vote
for local taxation he will get good six
months schools for his boy and girl
and for all the boys and girls he has at
a cost of 81 80. If his property is listed
for 81, 900; at a cost of S. 80 if his
property is listed for S., 600; at a cost
Of forty cents if his property is listed
for 800; at a cost Of eighty cents if his
property is listed for $500.
So you see this local taxation is the
poor mans only hope of educating his
children.
