elect your best nan as a delegate to
the county meeting in July.
The State Journal, edited by Mr..
J. N Allen, formerly Of Rutherford
county, has made its appearance in this
city. 1t is neat and new 81, Repub
lican in politics.
Let each County Alliance Secretary
note Business Agent Parker's sugges
ton and send us at once the place and
date of next county meeting. We
trust that all Secretaries will give this
matter immediate attention.
The State Dairym2n's Association
will meet at Concord June 9th and
28sh, and not on the 22l and 90 ID, and
as published in some Of our State ex-
changes. Prot. Emery informs US that
he expects one of the best meetings yet
held. Several practical dairymen who
are also good speakers have consented
to take part.
II you are q farmer tell your farmer
neighbors who do not take The Pro
gressive Farmer that the various ar
ticles endorsing the cylindrical bale
and the methods of the cunning com
bine which consrol it now appearing in
so many papers in the cotton section
are paid for by the American Cotton
Company. Do not let them be de-
ceived in this matter, but give them
the truth. Also ask if they do not
wish to subscribe for a paper which is
endeavoring to expose the schemes and
defeat the purposes of this gigantic
trust,
The Progressive Farmer cannot give
a premium to any one for HE own re
newal-unless that person is willing to
pay 81 per year for his paper. No
other North Carolina paper not a re
hash from patent ou:sides or daily
papers, gives so much reading matter
for 81. and persons who are not willing
to pay 81 year for the paper are not
wanted on our subscription list. We
offer several valuable premiums to
those who are willing TO work for the
paper among their friends, but every
one who reads the paper gets full value
ia the paper alone. II willing to help
increase our circulation, he can also
secure a premium.
A new and most promising reform
magazine is The Coming Age, which

We wish to heartily endorse the fol-
lowing suggestion made by the Raleigh
Post. To US it seems to be a most ex-
celIent ne. Here it is: Would it
not be we'll for the Governor, when no
titled, as he should be promptly, of the
arrest OF any one for a serious crime,
especially il informed that any ex-
element existed in connection there
with, to order the sheriff having con
troll of the party to bring him at once,
by the safest and speediestroute, to the
penitentiary for safe keeping9 Pris-
oners, either under conviction or ar
lest upon charges of suspicion, are
ordered TO other counties, and the
county in which the crime is commit
ted is made to pay the costs Could
such prisoners not be confined in the
"penitentisry at the cost of the county
as wells The penitentiary will Ger
tainly ef1rd the protection the law
contemplates, whereas but few, if any,
county jails or jaileTs can do So" The
recent ly nching in Eastern North Caro-
lima emphasizes the Importance Of this
plan and We sincerely trust it will re
ceive consideration from those In au.
thority.
The movement for taxation Of valu.
able franchises granted railroad and
similar corporations is making head
Way rapidly. The people do not believe
q corporation should be an object Of
persecution, but they do believe it
should make some sort Of return for
