sense or the sincerity of journals and per-
sons is questioned when they advocate the
making of new constitution to reduce
the number of office-holders, or to give us
honest elections.
Though constantly abusing the Constl'
tuition, it is amusing to see how quickly the
Democratic machine or party has recently
run to that Constitution, as to a city Of
refuge, to escape from the danger that was
threatened by the supposed ill-advlsed
legislation of the solidly Democratic Legis'
lature.
1t will be remembered that few days
before adjournment the Legislature passed
bill known as the tax valuation COM
missioners act. The act created over
one hundred and twenty-five new OIL
GERS, and provided for reaching certain
kind of taxable values that were be-
lieved to have heretofore escaped taxa
ton. AS soon as the nature of the act
became known there was great hue and
cry against it, the assaults being made by
the bankers, bondholdels, stockholders
and rich men of the cities, who, it was
claimed. had not been making fail and
full returns of their stocks, bonds and
money. No complaints were made by
the people of the rural districts against
the inquisitorial act. With all speed
cases were made and rushed to the SUI
preme Court of Appeals to save the rich
men from the prying work of the Com
missioners of Valuation, and that court
on last Thursday, handed down an opin'
ion declaring the act unconstitutional
Thus have the bankers, bondholders and
rich men, whom the Bryanites affect tc
despise, been saved from the humiliation
of being inquired into by a new kind Of
assessor, and the Democracy saved from
the vengeance of those who would have
held the party responsible had the law
not been declared unconstitutional. The
despised Constitution has proved a city
of refuge once more for the Democracy.

FARM LABOR SCARCE.

An Alamance county Progressive
Farmer correspondent says: The
negroes hired for this year to labor
OF the farms in Alamance and Cas-
we'll counties are leaving in large
numbers for the Northern States. In
many instances negro tenants with
crops of cor planted and the fertil-
izer for the tobacco crop in the
ground and, in some instances the
crop nearly planted, have left their
entire crops of corn, wheat and to-
bacco, their gardens and their
patches. They slip away, giving no
previous notice.
The same story of negro emigra-
ton and scarcity of farm hands
comes from many sections of the
State. We have recently had similar
reports from Northampton, Wake
and other counties. Farmers com
plain not only of the difficulty in
securing hands but of the high prices
demanded by available ones. The
emigration of so many tenant farm
ers and non-land owning farmers to
the cotton factories is responible to
a very large extent for existing con-
ditiOns.
But it is indeed an i'll wind that
blows nobody good. A High Point
correspondent of the Raleigh Post
says:
THE farmers are now buying reap
ers for their wheat, as they declare
that labor cannot be had on the
farms at any price"
A good sign. And if by the scarcity
of farm labor North Carolina farmers
are brought to realize the benefits of
improved machinery and intensive
farming, the decrease in the number
of farm hands will have served a
good purpose.

ABOUT APPLES.

The apple crop is evidently short
in many sections east of the noun
tains. In the mountain counties,
however, the crop seems to be very
fine. Mr.. A. J. Long, ST., renewing
his subscription to The Progressive
Farmer, says "Our drOuth in the
mountains has ended and we are now
having copiOus showers and pastures
and crops of all kinds are now doing
we'll. Our prospects for a fine crop
of peaches and apples has not been
better for several years past" (By
the way, we T always glad to have
newsy notes of this kind from our
subscribers The Ashevile Gazette
says that 1.-the prospects for a wheat
and apple crop in the northwestern
part of Buncombe were never better
than now and farmers feel assurance
of the largest yield of both they
have had for years" In this con-
nectiOn we will say we will publish
within a week or two a very exhaus-
tive article on apple culture by Hon.
George E. Boggs, of Waynesville,
who is one of the largest apple
growers in the State. If you have
any neighbors interested in apple
growing send US their names for
sample copies of the paper contain
ing this very valuable article.

IMPORTANT TO ALLIANCEMEN.

This is a trying period in Alliance
history trying, testing, period
that shows where is the pure gold,
and where dross. Every Sub-Alli-
ance should hold a meeting before
the end of the month and individual
members should, if necessary, make
sacrifices to attend this meeting.
For much depends upon it. Dele
Alliance meetings and these in turn
are to elect delegates to the State
meeting. So that in fact the veal
or woe of the Alliance cause in
North Carolina during the next year
depends upon these June meetings
of the Subs. Let them be we'll at
tended Remember that this is THE
time of all times when you should
allow nothing to keep you from the
Sub. meeting. And go with the true
Alliance spirit, leaving all partisan
feeling and bitterness at home.
Have the Secretary read the Ode
claratiOn of Purposes" and try to
enter into its spirit. See that each
member pays his dues and elect your
safest and best member a delegate to
the July county meeting. He should
be a man filed with the Alliance
spirit, with a heart set upon 1.-The
good of the Order - a man who in
his daily life shows forth the princi-
pies enunciated in the declaration of
purposes nota bitter partisan, but a
man who ''grants honesty of pur-
pose and good intention to Others"
and last but by no means least, a
true Alliance workers. man who
earnestly desires the thorough re
organization of the Order throughout
North Carolina and whose works
prove the faith that is in him. A
general Alliance revival is conf
IDENTIFY expected as soon as the pOliti-
cal storm has passed over and if men
Of this type are sent to the county
meetings, who will in turn send such
men to the State meeting, success is
assured.
EVERYTHING depends upon the at
tendance, the work, and the spirit
of the June Sub. meetings. Remem-
Der the last public utterance of Col.
Polk and "do your duty"

a good committee which will be
active and meet the State Fair man
agers about this matter.
Then would something be done
for an arousing OF stock farmers to
the value of the State Fair and in a.
spirit of fellowship and progress that
must develop into good results.

would help make a positive helpful
move for evolution of a better state
of things and a better Chow of stock

Readers will please bear in mind
the fact that it requires just as much
money to run The Progressive. Far
mer in summer as in winter. Paper,
press-work, postage, and ~typesetting
T as costly in June or July as in
December. Our printers cannot wait
till the end of the year for their

his bills, and the same is true of the
paper trust managers and others
with whom we have to deal, This
being true, we are greatly inconven-
fenced when any subscriber decides
to wait till fall or winter to pay his
subscription. Our subscription price
is small and if the date on your label

SECOND JUNE I:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

$500 A~C-A AAOP
The House took up the election
law on third reading, as a special or
der. Mr.. Johnson, of Sampson, Pop
ulist, offered amendments n pro-
viding for representatives of three
parties on county boards that no
precinct shall contain more than 400
voters that poll-holders shall at re-
quest put ballots in the proper boxes !;
allowing appeals from the decisions
of registrars.
Mr.. Johnson spoke in defense of
these amendments. They were.
offered, he said, in the interest of
liberty and fairness. He thought
the present election law one of the
most unfair, most unjust pieces of
legislation ever enacted in the State.
He had never heard any one try to
defend its honesty. He could see in
it but n purpose-to defeat the
will of the people.
Il am not in favor of negro rule
or social equality, he said. II be-.

1Eg1sLArIvE PROCEEDINGS.

Complete and Impartial History OF the Ao-
iourned Session of the Legislature Prepared
for The Progressive Farmer From Notes
Taken by the Editor-A Discussion OF the
Eleotion Law-Minor Bills-Legislature to-
Re-Assemble July gath.
The legislature re-assembled in
Raleigh at noon, June 18th. 1900,
with a much fuller attendance than
was expected. We understand that
all save three of the so Senators, and
all but 30 of the 100 Representatives
attended this short session. OF the
Senators, caves, Jones of Harnett,
and Newsom failed to make their
House absentees were
noted as follows: Bryan Of Madl-
son, Carter, Coats, Hampton, Hauser,
Hendren, Lowery, Maitland, McFar-
land, Nicholson of Perquimans, Pc
tree, Pritchard, Reeves, Snipes, Tar
kenton, Tharp, Will, WEIGH, Will
liams of Graham, Williams of Yad-
kin.
The Constitutional amendment
and the election law we're the sub
jects uppermost in the minds of all
the Solons and little attention was
given other business until these
were disposed Of. We have given in
another column the changes made in
these two measures. Section II of
the new law is a considerable i'm
provement over section II as it
passed the 1899 session in that it dOes
not give the registrar authority 80
require an applicant for registration
to prove his age by two electors, etc.
Our readers by comparing the Sec
ton II printed elsewhere with the
Section II of the '99 law as given in
The Progressive Farmer of May 29th
will note the changes. The addition
of Sections 50 and SO, however, seems
to be for the purpose of Shaving off
the trial of dishonest election officers
until too late to give the people re
dress. The election law is still bad
AS unfair, we think, as the Goebel
law that has Occasioned such strife
and blOodshed in Kentucky.
The changes in the Constitutional
amendment r fully explained else
where in this issue. The most i'm
portant change is the addition of a
section whereby the people, in case Of
it's adoption, declare quite plainly
''passed at all except as on entirety,
and hat their general purpose would
be defeated we're it held valid as to
some cases and void as to others"
Under these conditions, according to
Judge Cooley, all sections must
stand or fall together. The Pro
gressive Farmer, in view of the Opin-
ion of Judge Cooley and the decision
of Judge KOhlsaat in the Illinois
antitrust case, has for some time
been of the opinion that the sections
would stand or fall as a whole. It
is we'll that the legislature has made
this clear in order that the amend
ment may be considered upon it's
merits-that voters may pass upon
it just as it is without fear that the
courts will so mutilate it as to dis
franchise those whom it expressly
says shall not be DISTINGUISHED.

FIRST DAY-MONDAY, JUNE 12.

la -NAO1U Ia Is e IN L.
Little was done on the first day of
the session. Senator jackson, Of
Lenoir, whose death two days later
cast such a gloom over the Senate,
secured the passage of a resolution to
correct certain errors in the bill to
amend the charter of Kinston. The
town desired to issue bonds but OBJ
lection was made because of these
errors. The election law was taken
up by the House in the afternoon
and passed two readings. Mr.. John
son, of Sampson, (Pop.) moved. that
further consideration be postponed
till Wednesday morning, as he
wished to examine the bill and pre-
sent some amendments. This was
agreed to.
