island, between one and two acres in
extent, and from four to five feet thick.

between the pier and the shore. and
the city authorities contemplate blow
ing it up with dynamite.

OF course it was prearranged that
the keel Of the new battleship Maine
should be laid on the anniversary of
the destruction of the first and truly
historic battleship of that name. This
occurred in Cramps yards in Ihladel-
phia. In reviewing the year it appears
that the war cost us over S1,OOO0OO,OO
and of lives about 5000. SPANS loss Is
greater: in battleships alone it reaches
S36. 100000. She loses also 10000 600
of her subjects and ceases to be col
onial power. The writer in the Chicago
Times Herald tersely says: Medley

Continuing in his review and referring
again to the sacrifice of the Maine, the
same writer eloquently sums up the
historic lesson as follows: THAT over

In just one years time, civilization, lib

it Is true. That out Of the crucible of
such a short period Of time should

is still more remarkable. But above
these two salient points Is the greater
and more significant one-the undyng
lesson taught through the agency of the
Maine-that from ocean line to ocean

for years and are true to the cause.
We predict that Asoury Alliance will
be one of the strongest and best ALI
ances in the county in the near future.
Other Subs. in this county will follow
Asbury's example in q short time.
There is no reason why every Sub
Alliance in the county and State should
not be reorganized. It is true there
are some who have been, seemingly,
strong in the cause that have become
very weak and pessimistic about the
Alliance, but these should not stop
those who wish to renew their obliga-
tions, from joining themselves for
the good Of the Order and to them
selves. Here / wish to say a word to
the brethren all over the State:-Soon
your crops will be laid by. You will
have time to reorganize your Subs.
This work should not be delayed by
you. Try to get your Subs. in work.
ing shape before the meeting Of the
State Alliance, and as many Of you as
possible go to that meeting. In your
prospects there, study the possibilities
that may be accomplished by your
help, and do not rest until every far
mer and laborer in your community,
who is eligible and a fit subject, has
Joined your Sub. Alliance. Is there
one Of you who reads this going to
quietly sit still, fold your hands and
give up everything to the vampires
who are sucking the life blood from
your freedom and independence and
make no effort to get clear of them9
mo use to try" I hear some n say.
May God pity that fellow. But rather
we beg of you, brethren, each one
of you, to make one more efort-yes,
a dozen Efforts. if necessary-to get
the farmers and laborers thoroughly
organized in your section. DO your
duty" is the watchword Of the ALI
ance.

TAXATION OF FRANCHISES.

The Ford bill, for the taxation of
franchises as real estate, has a political
as we'll as an economic side to it, and
both sides are of more than State in
terest. The bill, es is we'll known, was
pressed through the legislature on the
last day Of the regular session by the
Insistency Of Governor Roosevelt. Be
ing persuaded atterward that it should
De amended, he called an extra session
for that purpose, announcing his in
tention OF signing the original bill if
the amended bill was not passed. Sim
~ultaneously with the announcement
that the bill would succeed came a
public statement from Senator Thomas

in favor OF a second term for President

and many papers connect the two
events as cause and effect. Mr.. PlRtt's
| political control of the Republican
party in New York State is popularity
attributed to the relations he has estab-
lished with the corporations, receiving
from them campaign contributions
and giving to them immunity from
legislative persecution. The passage
of the Ford bill and his interview are
together taken as evidence by a num-
Der of journals that he has found him
self unable to control the governor or
the legislature. Thus the Albany COR
respondent of the New York Evening
Post AYERS that the bill means the
Senator's downfall:
"A great deal of talk has been heard
here about what is called the growing
weakness of Senator Platt as the leader
of the Republican party in the State.
: = Chief among the evidences of
weakness pointed out is Platt's inabil-
ity to protect the corporations whose
contributions have for so many years
enabled him to hold the Republican
Legislator s from the country districts.
He was not only unable to prevent the
passage OF the Ford bill az the regular
session, but he is to day unable TO have
a single amendment inserted in it in
the interest of his friends. 10 fact he
confessed his helplessnees after the re
cent conference in New York, and lay

AsBURY ALLIANCE REORGAN-
IBID.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
On Saturday evening, the 1st day of
July, it We my pleasure to reorganize
Asbury Alliance of this county, about
five miles west of this city. This
was done per request. Brother ]. II
Medlin came in after me and brought
me back. I thoroughly enjoyed the
trip. We first went to the Missionary
Baptist Church-Bro. Mediums church.
There we were kindly introduced to
the pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Jackson,
and several Of the members. We
greatly enjoyed the services. We
found this little band of workers ear
nest in the cause of the church and the
pastor a JEALOUS and worthy worker
for Christ.
After services we're over we went to
school house near Mr.. Finch's, and
about ONE mile north of church. and
there we were met by old members of
the Alliance who desired to reor
ganize. We proceeded to reorganize
the Alliance. On account of the busy
season of the year not very many were
present but others promised to be
with them at their next meeting day.
The following officers were elected
for n year: Q. h Jackson, Presi.
dent; ]. h. Medlin, Secretary J. H.
Morgan, Treasurer; James Medlln,
Door keeper. The election for re.
mainder Of eff oers and the delegates
to County Alliance was postponed
Those brethren who we're in
the reorganization have been members
