lance and to the people of North Caro-
lima. The Alliance can do nothing that
will elevate humanity so much as to
establish a good system Of education.
If this tax should be levied very few
of our people will have to pay more
than 81. No one can oppose this tax
because Of the amount he would have
to pay. The State gives us a dollar
every time we give a dollar to the State.
Will we accept this help to take our
children out Of ignorance and raise
them up as educated men and women,
and thereby give them a chance in the
world, or will we refuse, by III votes,
to rescue our children from ignorance
and let them grow up and never have
a chance in the world7

Wilson County Alliance and our
a nual picnic was held at Rock Ridge

usual at this annual meeting, notwith-
standing the much needed rain in the
early morning, we had a large crowd.
The Alliance met in the morning and
transacted the regular business, and at
IL o'clock adjourned to hear Mr.. J. W.
Bailey, Editor Biblical Recorder, Raj
eigh, speak on local taxation. It was
indeed treat to listen to this young
man plead the cause Of the common
people SO ~eloquently and earnestly.
He seer the six hundred thousand chill
dren Of our State coming rapidly to
manhood and womanhood in ignor-
ance and he is using his splendid tai.
ents to rescue them from such an awful
condition. Would that all men could
see this condition which c~onfrOnts US
as does Mr.. Bailey. He showed clearly
that this local tax system was the only
plan by which the country people could
educate their children. He proved be-
yond a doubt that it was by far the
cheapest plan. We have greatly en-
joyed his coming and we hope to have
him with us again some ay.
I wish to say to u Alliance friends
that we are pledged to the cause of edu-
cation. This is one of fundamental
principles and every Allianceman
should do all he a for this local tax.

The first thing we want to know is

what it is, why then we want to know
where it is. We have heard of it, and
we have actually e 9 some of it, but
not in late years. We are sorry to say
it, but all of our prosperity has disap
peared in the past 20 years. It is true
the nations increase is greater than it's
outlay, but the question is where does
the money goa AS 0 o as it reaches
America it goes straight for the gold,
bugs pockets. II there is any pros
perity for the laboring class it comes
and goes so fast they cannot catch any
of it. Prosperity may travel the road,
but it never stops to visit us, but If q
man votes for such things, can he ex.
pect any betterG They say that every
thing can be bought cheaper now than
it aver could before, but what coed
will that do us if we cannot get any
thing to buy with9 IF all the pros
