| can assure you that the Alliances OF
Rlwan will bring forward their part.
am not authorIZ d TO tell you nov
much will be raised, but you will be
notified Def ween this and the 2 tn OF
January. I hope all the Alliances all
over the Safe will respond at an early
date, as I have a deep interest in these
enterprises. and I truly b9lieva h a on
these rests the future welfare of the
Alliance IN our SAFE. We, as ALI
ancemen, cannot help expressing our
gratitude to you and noble com
mlttee for your untiring efforts and
good success in the management OF
these enterprises. We know we have
good man at the right place, and
the men that caused the factory to
stand idle all this time made a mletake,
and I believe that some of them think
so now. But, however, it may be for
the best
Thank you, Bro. Agner Kin6 words
are beIpfu. We shall expect much
from Rowan. she never falters. How
many other counties wilt follow9
Bro D W. BrInson: Our Alliance
adopted the folio wing resolution:
"ReSOlUed, That we recommend to
the managers of the buslnes s. fund that
enough of said fund be drawn to run
the snoe factory n year. 1t two thirds
of the Alliances are in favor of such q
resolution. We think the machinery
ought to be working, and it would 90
more good to use the fund in that way
chan that both fund and machinery
should lie idle ,"
This Alliance is right. The factory
has got to u OF we have lost $40, 900.
Which is better, to put in q few thOn
sand more of the Agony fund, OF to
swamp the whole tning9 As a matter
of business any intelligent man would
say, put in more money and operate
your factory. Why don't we do ISL
Bro. r. @. Rolfe: II enclose $40
Please send me the worth of it in shoes
from our factory as samples to show
to our people. If we a in any way
arrange to give people good shoes
at less cost, then there will be no trouble
IN keeping our order together. II we
we fail IN this then we are bound to
go under"
BRO. Rolfe asks a number of CUES
tons TOO long for this communication,
but have been ans wered privately.
But he strikes the nail on the head.
Fail in this and we will all be ashamed
of the Alliance
