told in the "Humor of the Scot The

MORE FAITH.

hear everywhere prayer for more
faith; but when I listen to them care
fully and get at the real heart Of their
prayers, very often it is not more faith
at all that they are wanting, but a
change from faith to sight.

God has sent me?H

"Ah, yes, if I could only see that il
would make me grow"
In both OF these cases you do not see
that what you are begging for is not
more faith, although you think it is,
but sight.
You want to see for yourself the
blessing in the sorrow, the strength in
the hard and and hateful task.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Jan. 8, 1898.
We will ask a little space in your
valuable paper to unload some of our
gas. We don't expect to advance any
new ideas at all, but will throw out a
few hints by way of refreshing the
minds of the wealth producers of this
nation and the balance of the world
where your paper circulates, of the
things that are of interest to themthings
they long ago learned, but are not put
ting in practice.
We would be pleased to have some
wise farmer in the nation somewhere
tell US how in the name of high
heaven, humanity and the lights be
fore them why it is they are not today
the best organized part of the world.
Instead, they are disorgenized, scat
tered, ''cusaing,n fussing and making
mules daddles of themselves about
some little matters that in the wind up

seen your hard earnings of 1892 get out
OF your hands and you received less for
il than it cost to produce it. Did a dis
organized band buy your money crops
No.
Ny dear sir, every thing that touched
it is organized and thoroughly organ.
izsd. The banks that control the money
of the country are SO well organized
shat they a get in touch with each
other all owe this nation in less than
ak hours. The mill men who get your
raw material at less than cost of pro
duction r JUST as well organized.
Lawyers, doctors, paachers, whiskey
dealers, boot blacks, &c, are organized
and they regulate prices. They are
inst doing business in a business wey
and you are not. That is all there is
in il.
Now you have an organization
known as the Farmers Alliance that
only costs you one dollar per head,
annually. If every eligible man
in this nation was in il, and would
stick together as the bankers, mill
men and other occupations do, you
would not be compelled to sell cotton
at 8 cents and you would not be com
PEELED to hire a man with q shot gun
to kill tramps.
You could bring about a better fnan-
cial state of affairs in the nation.
Now at the beginning of the year
Why not go to work TO organize and
educateG Get every farmer and lsborer
that is eligible to membership in the
Farmers AlliRnce-white, black, Hot
bentot and all, and educate them up TO
see their true condition, not TO vote for
some particular political party, but
vote as the banker and mill men do
for their own interest. Anything wrong
about that?
As TO North Carolina, we thank God
that there r. q few men in Alliance
ranks who have stood the fire and will
continue to stand.
As the 18th day of January i'm the
regulation time for holding quarterly
meetings in each and every county in
the State where there is an organize
ton re are glad to know there are
about sixty Of them), let every member
of the Order consider himself q mission
airy and assist in re organizing Subs
and seeing that there is full county
meetings. Don't send one delegate
from each Sub and expect him to do
all the work. Let a half dczan from
each Sub attend County meetings and
go for business.
Your shoe factory is now turning
out SO pairs of shoes daily. See that
you have samples at the County meet
ings. Bond your County Agent and
make arrangements to have the shoea
in each county.
Make arrangements to re organize
the lecture system in your Subs in your
counties in the State. Make arrange
ments to re organize every defunct
Sub in your respective counties, and
consolidate them with working Ali
ances. If all will do a little, at the April
meeting, you can have an organization
that will be able TO shake some of the
snide politicians out of their boots.
Let US urge you all yer the State
to lay aside your personal differences
and push forward the great work OF
educating the people.
