THE PROFITABLE HORSE.

The profitable horse may be bred
from a trotting family, but he must be
bred for something else than merely to
have speed. He must be able to move
along at a good, active rate, trottlng
In a buggy from six to eight or ten
miles an hour, if necessary. Another
class of horses is the coach horse, which
is nothing more than a good driving
horse; In other words, those quaIltles
that make a good driving horse VIII
make a good coach horse, providing he
is q little bit larger; for instance, a
good driving horse should weigh from
LEO to 1 200, should stand say 10
hands and 2 inches to Is hands. The
coach horse should weigh from 1900
to 1 800 pounds, with the same quail
ties and standing from Is hands 8
inches to Is hands 8 inches. This is
the kind OF carriage horse the foreign
trade are looking for. Another kind
of horse to raise is the good, old reli-
able draft horse. If you a get that
kind of a horse, with style, quality and
weight, it will sell at very remunera
tive prices at present. You cannot ex-
pect to get a good draft horse unless
you have a good type Of draft mare.
This crossi1 g of a 2, 600 pound horse on
a 1,COO or LOO pound mare will not
have good results. 1t used to be argued
that you could do this and get a draft
horse Of 1900 pounds, but it has not
proved a success. Study up and select
your breed. Then take some Of the
good draft mares Of this breed on your
farm and breed them to the very best
type of the draft horse you can get,
and follow along in that line. Set your
standard high. Alwsys try to reach
the high point in horse breeding or
anything else.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

WHEREAS. On the 10Th day of De
ctmber, 1896, the impartial angel Of
death took from our midst our respected
and highly esteemed brother and Bust
ness Agent, W. II. Jennett, who was in
his 10th year, and the most prominent
and active member of the M. E. Church
at Providence, Wayne county, also a
charter member Of Woodland Alliance,
No. $50; and, whereas, we realize that
we have sustained in his death an ire
parable loss, therefore be it.
Resolved, That we bow in humble
submission to Him who doeth all things
well, and, trusting in Him, renew our
energies to the support of the principles
for which cur brother labored so ar,
IDENTIFY.
2. That we tender our deepest sym
pathy to the bereaved family and reIa,
tives, and that we believe our loss is
his eternal gain.
8. That a copy Of these resolutions be
spread on our minutes, and copy sent
to his family. Also one to The Pro

START THE sHoE FACTORY.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
GULF, N. G.
Please allow me a few lines in your
paper concerning the shoe factory. I
see resolutions from different Alliances
all over the State' asking for the de-
Rciency of the shoe factory to be sup
piled from the State Business Agency
fund. It all belongs to the Alliance,
why not use it where it is most needed9
Besides, we don't think it will cripple
that fund, becauee it will be a backing
there also. We don't wish to diminish
the State Business Agency fund, but
propose to borrow from the Agency
fund for the shoe factory to start up.
And after that is put in operation sell
the goods for a per cent. sufficient to
refund the money to the Agency. I
think this is the sentiment of eight
tenths of the Alliancemen all over the
State. By all means start the ehoe
factory at or CO. So says Chatham,
the banner county of the Alliance in
the State. I think that I speak the
sentiments of my county.

tor 'Fbe brethren when it comes to the
money question. While Mark Hanna,
John Sherman and other apostles Of
greed and avarice are telegraphing
their congratulations to Senator Pritch
ard on his reelection the Observer lost
no time to get into line and throw up
it's hands and shout:
1--WE give our compliments to the
new 81 nator of North Carolina and bid
him hail and good day"
There seems to be one gold bug Demo
cratic member of the legislature who
sees things like the Charlotte Observer
and it was said that he intended to vote
for Pritchard if necessary, ~whereupon
the Democratic caucus threw him ever
board. His name is Jones and he halls
from Allegheny county. The %
server insists that Mr.. Jones, as q
Democrat, had a right, to vote for
Pritchard if he wanted to, and gives
the command "LetJones of Allegheny
alone" which in all probability the
Democratic members will obey, for
they have no further reason to bother
him after they have expelled him from
their caucus.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE LEGIsLA-
TURF.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
There are a few things to which I
wish to call your attention before our
legislature &C jOurns.
There has been a lot of talking and
~legislating about how to get more tax
money in the treasury and leave every
body satisfied. Well, I will give you
my idea about the matter, and if you
think 1t a good one, hope you will pub
lish in your paper. think the present
legislature now in session ought to pass
q law that every qualified voter in the
State of North Carolina on going to
the polls on election day to cast his
ballot, shall be compelled to present his
last years tax receipt or be dlsfran
chised for the present time, and not
allowed to vote until he can produce
his receipt. and if he has lost it and
cannot find it he can go to the sheriff
of his county and get a duplicate of
same.
If this was a law and in full force,
you would see q good deal less voting
done than now is or else you would see
q lot more money in the treasury than
there is at the present time. II there
is a law t make one man pay his taxes,
l think there is to make everybody
pay. Furthermore, 1t would enable
the sheriff. of each county to make
their returns and get their books all
straight by the last Of the year, instead
OF having to follow those who have
failed to pay their taxes from one
county to another, and a good many
of them yet away and never pay it all.
There is one other thing about these
taxes to which 1 wish to call
the attention of your readers,
though l suppose it would be
against the Constitution as it now
stands. 1t Is this: never have thought it
was right for the White race to pay tax
to educate the colored race. I believe
that the taxes collected from the white
people ought to be appropriated for the
benefit of the whiie people, and that
of the colored to their benefit. And
by passing that law which was spoken
of above would be of a great benefit to
the colored, especially.
What 1 have said about this 1 have
said regardless of race or color. If this
is unconstitutional, I think ii should be
amended, if possible.
Well, Mr.. Etitor, there is one other
thing of which I wish to jog the mem
DRY of your readers. You RENE mber
having seen an article from me some
months ago in regard to O dog law. !
will give you a short sketch of it again
so that some n may remember it. I
think, the best l can recolIect, it was
something like this:
am l favor Of having a law passed
that will compel every owner of a dog
to keep him confined in his yard unless
he takes him out hunting, and in order
to do this, 1 propose to put a fine of So
on every person who allows his or hel
dog to run at large, and hat any per
son have a right to kill any such dos
when found out of the yard withou
q block on or some one with him t,
protect him.
Some may say this means a tax, bu
it does not. All it lie intended for
to keep the dogs in the yard, wher
they belong. Those of US who hav
suffered a great loss on account of ma
dogs are anxious for this to become
law. And when I say this / speak tn

nearly every true refOrmer's mou5h

as it is to find a fusion Populist with
faith sufficient to move a mountain.
Now some of the politicians r begin,
ing to tell me that the Peoples Party
will not be heard of in the next cam
