THE N MONUMENT.


AS has already been announced IN
The Progressive Farmer, the Vance
Monument will be unveiled in this
CITY on the 22d inst. A large num-
Der of Confederate soldiers and other
admirers of the great statesman and
patriot whom all Tar Heels delight
to honor will attend. In these days
of narrow-minded and narrOw-sOuled
politicians, it is refreshing to recall
the words and deeds of ''Our Zeb, >
whom no ring could i~ntimidate,
whom no Federal patronage could
buy, as honest as he was brainy, the
tribune of the people. Nowadays
wo have politicians whose shrewd-
ness and ,craftiness we in some meas
ure admire we have none whose
devotion to truth and principle
calls forth the esteem and afec-
ton with which our people re-
garded the old wal Governor.
We are not a pessimist: we
hope for better things; yet this is
exactly the state of affairs in North
Carolina today.

IF BRYAN SHOULD GET THESE voTvs

AL sorts of things may happen IN
four years. Conditions chance and
people sometime think differently ON
the same issues. Then, two. even :,
the most successful Presidential ellen
tions there are always close margins
When Cleveland was elected ovn,
Blaine a change Of six hundred vote,
in New York State would have 70
versed the result, and in that con-
test the Prohibitionists polled in
New York alone over TWENTY-FIVE
thousand votes.
Major McKinley's success fou,
years ago was the most marked in
American politics for nearly a'ouar.
ter of a century. His plurality over
Mr.. Bryan was upward of six hun.
dred thousand, and the electoral
vote stood Mckinley 271, Bryan 1T.
The majorities here seem overwhelm.
ing, but in Presidential contests the
popular plurality has littleto do with
the case. Indeed, in several of our
elections the winning man has had
the plurality against him. The in.
terest of the figures of the last
contests rests in the fact that q
change of f~orty-eight electoral votes
would have elected Mr.. Bryan.
The following table will show how
this has been reduced to a closer
margin than many people supposed
it could be:

LABoRERs RAPIDLY ORGANIZING.

The newspapers report that Il tidal
wave of organization is sweeping
| over North Cardinals labOring
classes and that trades unions. and
numerous labor organizations are
springing up in all sections. Let the
good work go on. Our people be-
Heve only in justice and fair play
they will not attempt to injure CAPT
tai or promote unjustifable strikes,
but they will work for justice, good
will, and ~fraternal feelings. Let the
farmers initiate the good example of
other workingmen.
From a recent issue of the Raleigh
Times-Visitor we clip the following
The organization of a Central
Labor Union, composed of delegates
from the different trades unions in
the city, which will work under
charter from Observation-Disclosures
ton of Laber has been perfected IN
this city.
Organized labor has had a more
widespread growth in North Caro-
lima during the past six months than
in all previous history of the State. All
the trades are being thoroughly or
ganized and they in turn are forming
central bodies for the dissemination
of literature and the medication of
union principles.
Discussing labor organizations
with Mr.. w. E. Faison, president of
the Central Labor Union, he re-
marked:
Every few indeed, have any con
ception of the true design of organ
lied labor. The public generally
connect labor organizations only with
strikes and honestly believe that un-
ions are organized for the sole pur-
pose of striking or creating trouble
between labor and capital. One of
the purposes of organization Of a
Central Labor Union is to educate
the public along this line.
"No, there is no political signif-
canoe whatever in it. OF course it
will urge the enactment of 1egisla-
ton looking to the betterment of the
working classes, but partisan politics
will have no place in it's work
81 might add further, that a wave
of organization is sweeping the State.
In all the history of North Carolina
prior to 1900 there has not been as
much organization as has been in
augurated within the past six
months"

"THE HISTORY OF A1AMANcE."

Miss Sallie w. Stockard, of Ala
nance county, has written a very
creditable 'History of Alamance, ;"
which deserves the support of the
good people of that county. And it
can be read with pleasure and profit
by people of other counties In say
ing that North Carolinians never ap-
preciate as highly as they should the
efforts of the few writer's who at
tempt to put in enduring form the
story of the great deeds done within
our borders, we are merely repeating
a platitude. If each county in the
State had a Miss Stockard to do for
it the work she has done for Ala
nance, it would be a God-send to
North Carolina. Miss Stockard's
book sells for 81 per COPY.

BOOK NOTICE.

The F~armstead, or The Making of
the Rural Home and the Layout of
the Farm. By I. P. Roberts, Director
of the College of Agriculture and
Professor of Agriculture in Cornell
University PIP. $50. The Macmillan
Company, New York, N. Y.
This is a thoughtful and thought
provoking book for farmers and
those intending to farm, or who are
interested in farming. It is full of
practical sense and illustrations and
will impart some instruction to every
rural reader.
There r practical suggestions
here on the selection and purchase of
a farm arrangement, planning, and
building houses and barns. Especial
attention is called to conveniences,
beauty and harmony of surround
ings, and of placing fitting surround
ing to suitable buildings for a COM
Portable farm home. There are chap
tiers on 1.-THE Relations of the Farmer

ton, Economy and Comfort, by Prof.
Mary Roberts Smith - The Home

The book is well illustrated with
practical cuts which carry on the
sense of the words by sight of details
Of structure, outlines Or landscapes
with neat appropriate buildings
properly, and improper buildings i'm
properly, set for home surroundings
either to serve comfort, aesthetic
taste or convenience. It is a de-
l~ightfully plain, practical treatise on
subjects of the greatest Importance
to all who live in the country, and
should be widely read and studied.
No better book for those contemplat-

just starting outin life to farm could
be found. It is a very desirable and
valuable addition to rural literature.

If the delegates to the State Alliance
go to Hillsboro today-as we believe
they will-conscious of the fact that
this is THE time to choose between
growth and stagnation that if we
propose to re-organize that the last
months of 1900 offer perhaps the best
opportunity we shall ever have ;
that C is ours if we but show
the falsity of the prejudice against
our Order that delegates attend to
do Alliance work in brotherly kind
ness and not to discuss subjects
which could possibly create division
or bad feeling-if these things are
done, the way to success is clear.

Editorial.
EDITORIAL NOTES.

Several subscribers have requested
us to change their addresses on &C
count of the advent of rural free
delivery in their respective neigh
borhoods. We are glad to know that
so many of our farmer readers are to
realize some of the benefits of this
great boon to Americas country
people.
The directors of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, have de-
clared a dividend of So per share,
payable September 18th. In June
10 per cent. was distributed and in
March 20 per cent. Does anybody
suppose our Revolutionary forefath-
ers would have submitted as quietly
as we have to this high-handed
robbery?
The citizens of Bensalem, Moore
county, have passed some red-hot
resolutions regarding some villains
who destroyed the election returns
of that township. The Bensalem
people have appointed a committee
to investigate fully and ferret out
the guilty parties. 1t is the duty of
all good citizens to assist in the pun
ishment of such criminals and we
hope the guilty persons will be found
and punished to the full extent of
the law.
We are still in favor of teaching
the principles of agriculture in the
public schools. The farmer by his
taxes supports the country schools.
If his children are taught from the
ages of Is to 81 things that do not
relate to agriculture, why should not
a portion of the time be given to
teaching the farmers boys the prin-
ciples of plant growth, soil manage
ment, the values and properties of
different feeding and fertilizer ingre-
dents, and other matters that di-
rectly affect his welfare, and are as
much matters of science as other
things taught?
The Raleigh Christian Advocate,
speaking of the election, says
Governor Russell had the State
Guard on duty from Tuesday after
noon until Friday. The Governor,
by this act, has aroused great indig
nation all over the State" In this
we think the Advocate seriously
errs. It aroused the great indigna-
ton" of n daily paper that believes
mo good a come out of Nazareth
or out of anything done by it's poll
tcal opponents. But thousands of
people in North Carolina in all par
ties feared there would be trouble
on election day and, as the Biblical
Recorder says, if there had been n
trouble, this precaution of the Gov
errors would have been regarded as
wise. The rantings and crocodile
tears Of one partisan daily may have
had some effect on those who always
lee when it takes snuff, but they
did not by any means, arouse great
Indignation all over the State"
