A WISE PROBATION.

The "KoInische z 3itung" relates this
anecdote of the late French Senator,
Renaui:
When Renaud first came as Senator
toParis he engaged a room at a hotel
and paid a months rent-one hundred
and fifty francs-in advance. The
proprietor asked if he would have a
receipt.
1T is not necessary" replied Rem,
aud, God has Witnessed the pay
ment."
do you believe in GodT sneered
the hest.
Most assuredly," replied Renaud
don't you7"
Not I, monsieur"
All" said the Senator, 81 will take
3 receipt, if you please"

TWO ORGANIZATIONS OR oNK7

Pursuant to a call issued by Mr.. A.
r Logic, about rs gentlemen interested
in cotton growing assembled in the city
hall last Saturday to discuss the low
price of the staple and to set on foot a
movement for protecting the growers
against the spectators. Mr.. J. 8.
Davidson was called to the chair and
Mr.. L. NJ. McAllister was made secre.
tary. Mr.. Logic read an able paper on
the cotton q9stion which was listened
to with keen interest by all present.
After appointing a committee to ar
range a plan of organization the con
vention adjourned to meet again in the
city hall Saturday January 22ad. The
Peoples Paper endorses the organiza

this is the only way they will ever be
able to get their rights, and we beg to
says just a word TO this committee on
organic alton. At one time the Neck
lenburg County Farmers Alliance
numbered among its members nearly
every farmer in the county. At that
time it was a powerful factor in county
eff airs. Its power was irresistible.
Unfortunately a few unprincipled men
gained ingress into the order and as
Stunning control it was only a short
time until they did their nefarious
work which resulted in the almost ut
ter destruction of the organic alton. A
few good men rescued the order from
these scoundrels and by dent of hard
work have kept it intact to the pres
ent day. 1t is now the only farmers
organic alton in the county in thorough
working order, and within its ranks is
the only logical place for these men
who are awaking to the necessity of
some organized plan of relief for the
cotton growers. Why waste valuable
time and money in building up a new
organization to effect the same ends the
Alliance is striving atter9 We trust
the gentlemen of this organization COM

The POWER OF A MOTHERS
VOICE.

A mother sang to her child one day,
A 0 of the beautiful home above;
dang it as only q woman sings,
Whose heart is full Of a mothers
love.
And many a time in the years that
came
He heard the sound of that low, sweet
song;
II took hun back to his childhood DAYS;
It kept his feet from the paths of
wrong
A mother spoke to her child one day
In an angry voice, that made him
start
As if an arrow had sped that way
And pierced his loving and tender
heart.
And when he had grown to mans es
tate,
And was tempted and tried, as all
men are,
ae fell; for that mothers angry words
Had left on his heart a lasting scar

TRUTH

To set the opinions Of others aside,
is @ bad sign. The man who mistrusts
the virtue Of others, is apt to be vicious
himself. The woman who says there
is no such thing as virtue among wo
men, is generally the woman without
it. The man who accuses all others of
being actuated by self interest, is usu'
ally selfish himself. Those who bslieve
there is no honest men are seldom hon,
est men are seldom honest themselves.
The men who denounce Christians as
hypocrites are but revealing their own
CharRcter.-Ex.

GUILFoRD COUNTY ALLIANCE.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
MCLEANsvILLE, N. @, Jan. IL, 81.
The Alliance IN Guiltord is not dead
yet, though it has been called a corpse
by many who would seek to dethrone
it. 1t ia true, we have been weakened
very much, but we are again on the
up grade with the throttle wide open,
making sixty miles an hour in the face
of a terrible cyclone made up of sar
casm driven by a fierce wind of polIti
cal hate.
We held our county meeting on the
18Th inst. with Alamance Sub Alliance,
and the very fact that we were stand
ing upon such historic groun as that
around old Alamance church, seemed
to put new life into the brethren, and
we "a safely say that we had the best
and most enthusiastic county meeting
that we have enjoyed in two years.
More Subs were represented than in
quite awhile, and the general interest
seems 70 be working up. One Alliance
which has been dead for more than a
year, reported re organized, and will
soon be in good working order. Quite
a number of those Alliances that have
fallen from grace and wandered away
and stumbled into Doubling Castle and
into the clutches of Giant Despair, are
beginning to realz9 that they have a
key called Promise, alliance demands)
which will unlock the door of this dan
gerous castle and SET them free upon
the Kings highway.
We expect at our next county meet
ing to nave double the number of Subs.
represented that we now have. We
have pledged ourselves to do personal
work for the Order, and we know that
faithful work will not go unrewarded.
Bro. T. B Parker, our State Business
Agent was with US on that day, and
gave US an excellent talk on the prin-
ciples of the Alliance. Every one IN.
joyed his talk very much, and we think
the State Alliance should congratulate
herself upon having such a man at the
helm of her ship Of commemorative
Business Agency. Bro. Parker exhib-
tied samples of shoes such az are being
turned out at factory at Hillsboro,
and all, without a single exception,
pronounced them to be of superior
quality, and, considering the material
and workmanship, the prices are low.
It would have done you good, espe
cially if you were hungry, to have
been withsus at dinner time. The way
those good ladies entertained us made
we bachelors hope that we might not
always be bachelors, and the widowers
well, it called up to their minds the
sweet happy days that once were, but
the like of which they are very much
afraid will never come again. But

would do a little bit of honest work

the ranks through carelessness, and
neglect, we would oon have them back

May Kellard will be put on trial to-day on an in
dictment charging her with grand larceny. She
was recently tried on a charge Of forging tho

The specific charge against her now is that
she purchased u harp on the installment plan

for tho harp. She got the harp from Mortimer
Frisbie. q musical, instrument dealer. whose

guilty to mnnslaughter in tho second degree.

killed by young Baroia had killed Barcia's
father three years ago.,
"In passing sentence upon you. young man."
said Justice Fursman, II will take into &C.
count your youth and also the fact that the
man you shot killed your father. II you were
older than you are and the circumstance had
been less provocative, l would sentence you to
the full term:provided by the law, for the sane.
tity Of human life must be respected. But you
are young. Your life is yet before you. The
sentence of this court is that you be confined In
the State prison for Q term of ten years. !
would send you to the Elmtra Reformatory but
eide with my views
Cassata killed young Barcia's father 80 years
ago. when the boy was Is years old. At that
time, it Is said. Barcia swore to avenge tho
Cassata'daily, and those who know a great deal
about the vendetta that had been declared say
that young Barcia waited daily with q pistol in
his pocket to see whether Cassata wonld escape
punishment for the murder of the elder Barcta.
Cnssata was convicted Of manslaughter In tho
first degree for tho murder of Barcis, but his
lawyer managed TO get ane wStrial for him.. and
It was while he was out on bail that young
Barcia killed him. =.
Young Barcia can earn. a communication OF
that in reality his sentence IS only six years and
six months.
