IMPORTANT MEETING OF N. c. F.
S. A TX. COMMITTEE.

The Executive Committee OF the
State Alliance met at headquarters last
Friday and Saturday to attend to rou
tine business. The shoe factory is
working smoothly, and turning out
shoes of the very best quality, at the
lowest prices. The superintendent
assured the committee that the native
labor has learned as rapidly. and are
already doing as good work as old
hands. It is necessary that these shoes
be sold as fast as made, Or the capital
increased some.
The Executive Committee endorsed
the Wake county depository plan, and
instructed the Chairman of the Com
mittee to prepare an outline of the
plan and send to each Sub, Secretary.
The factory started December 14Eh and
although new labor had to be educated
and the machinery had to have much
attention and adjusting, there has not
been a c9nt lost, and the same hands
can turn out 90 per cent. more and
better finished work now than they
could a month ago, and if the demand
for shoes would justify an additional
outlay of Is per cent, on pay roll &C
count, the output could be doubled in
q short time.
If you have idle money brother. and
will deposit it with the State Business
Agent, it a be used, and you a get
your shoes for it when you want them,
and you run no more risk than if your
cash was in your house or really in a
bank.

BRIEF HISTORY OF KANSAS.

WILL d
BRIEF HISTORY OF KANSAS.
He says:
One needs to be in Kansas only a
few days to learn that the East has
misunderstood the people of the Sun
flower State as much as the people of
that State have misunderstood the
East. The real people of Kansas are
no more repudiators and cranks than
the real people of the East are shylocks
and fanatics. There is no patent process
of arithmetic whereby the Eastern in
weston must pay losses and the Western
investor must not. And despite all
that has been said to the contrary, it
is easy to show that Kansas people,
Notwithstanding the fact that millions
of E 4stern dollars have been lost and
swallo we'd up forever through reckless
money lending as much as through
reckless money borrowing, are not
only debt payers, but among the best
debt payers in the country.
Before producing figures to prove
this assertion, a little recapitulation of
Of recent events is necessary. It was
late 10 the eighties that the boom fever
struck Kansas. The get rich. quick
bacteria superheated its blood, and the
State was soon in q delirium. To &C
count for this condition Editor White
has said recently that Kansas is so
highed educated that she is more re-
sponstve to psychological currents and
conditions than her sister States, and
therefore has done more queer things
than they. During the boom times it
became known that many investors in
the East had been quietly making en-
ormous profits in the State by lending
money at high rates of interest. Forth
with there was a rush of capital from
the East to share in this prosperity. A
regiment of loan companies was formed.
At one time there were no less than 400
OF these companies. Adventures in
the East and in Kansas formed many
of them; it was so easy for a time to

cry, it was inexcusable. The feeling
of the Spanish against America on &c
count of the sympathy Americans have
expressed for the Cuban cause, was
intense. For that reason our war ships
should not have been sent to Spanish
waters unless they actually neces-
sary to protect American interests,
and they should have 'gone ready for
any emergency. We hope the gov
eminent will not add another mistake
by sending more war ships to Havana
unless they are needed.

A NATIONAL MISTAKE,

No matter what the results may be
in the investigation now going on re.
garding the blowing up of the battle
ship Maine in HAVANA harbor, we
want to go on record with the asser-
ton that no government should send
its war ships into a foreign port in
time of war, unless they go to bonn
bard said port. The Maine should
have stayed in American waters. Yet,
on the other hand, if there was treach.

Robt. Hancock's yarn about the Gov

to be excused. It is improbable that
that the Governor would have made
