We are told that the estate of the
late Dwight L. Moody consists princi-
pally of his library. And yet this man
raised during ms long and active
career more money than a hundred
ordinary preachers. He raised some
thing like 100000 a year for his
schools and Bible institute alone, and
within the last decade the sums pass
ing through his hands must have
amounted to several millions of dol
lars. That he left no personal estate
is probably the best tribute to his
sincerity and unselfshness in his evan
g%elistic and educational work.

LET Us HAVE A


At a time like this when the pas
sions of men are aroused prudence IS
a virtue of unusual attractions.
Neither do nor say anything your
self that would endanger peace and
order OF the good name of our State
and let your influence over all your
acuuaintances work to this end.
Especially do we want no "hot-
heads" and no men under the IN
fuence of drink, at the polls on
election day. Get some good man or
men of an opposite political faith to
assist you in keeping such characters
under control or away from the
polls. And see that all violations OF
the prohibition law that exists on
election day are brought to the at
tention of the legal authorities.
When party feeling runs high as it
now does, it is the duty of all good
citizens to work for peace and
order.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

$1,000
We trust that County Secretaries
who have not yet forwarded us re-
ports of July meetings, full list Of
n~ewly-elected officers and name of
delegate to State Alliance will do so
at once.
The rotten-egg argument is again
resorted to by towards of the baser
sort. For the good name of u
State and her people, such cattle
should be severely punished. They
are not needed in a free country.
We learn that our States most
talented representative in the liter
airy world, Mr.. Walter H. Page, is to
edit a new magazine, 1.-THE Worlds
Work" which will soon make its APP
pearance under the ownership of
Doubleday Page & Co, the publish
ing house of which Mr.. Page is now
a member.
Hisannounced that another college
president has been ousted because
his position on public matters does
not suit the wealthy who were eX-
pected to endOw the institution. This
time it Is President Henry Wade
Rogers of the Northwestern Univer-
sity. 1t may be Old-fashiOned, yet in
our opinion it is not improper to
call to mind again the words spoken
by Jehovah himself to Israel of old
"And thou shalt take no gift, for a
gift blindeth the wise and ~perverteth
the words Of the righteous" When
any institution fOrgets higher con
~sideratiOns in a mad race for dollars,
it no longer deserves the name Of
Christian.
We have on more than n occa-
sion paid u respects to the "divine
healers," ''magetic healers'' men
tai scientists" and other humbugs
that have been bamboozling the peo-
pie through the medium Of newspa-
pers that accept any ad. that pays
regular rates, regardless of its char
acter. We notice that several of
these frauds r getting justice at
Last. One who has been operating
in Colorado is now wearing clothes
with beautiful alternating stripes of
white and black. Another, Francis
Truth, of Boston, on last Tuesday,
retracted his plea of not guilty to
the charges of using the mails to de-
fraud and pleaded guilty on all of the
seven indictments found against
him. On five charges he was fined
the maximum peualty, $500 each,
and the money was promptly handed
Over to the clerk. The other two in
dictments were placed on file at the
suggestion of Assistant United States
District Attorney Casey as a mat
ter of precaution. Should Truth at
tempt to engage in any unlawful
business these two indictments will
be brought up against him and inn
prlsonment imposed. After paying
his $1,000 fine this lying Truth still
has a comfortable fortune left, made
by d~eceiving the credulous. But
there r still people that love to be
humbugged.

THIS WEEKS PAPER.

We give this week the promised
extracts from Mr.. Heath's article on
rural free delivery. An examination
of this and previous issues of The
Progressive Farmer for a month past
will show that the system is to be put
into operation IN a number of sec
tions in this State at once. We shall
be glad to have opinions as to its
value from our readers in these
sections.
The excellent article from Mr.. G..
S. Arthur on the rutabaga reached
us too late for last weeks issue.
This is Mr.. Arthur's first c~ontribu-
ton to our paper but we expect to
hear from him often in the future.
His advice is excellent. A crusade
against jute bagging seems to be on
again. See resolutions by Wayne
county Alliance and by Justice Ali
ance No. 1868, which, by the way, is
one of the most enterprising Subs
in the State. Prof. J. NJ. JOhnson's
Poultry article covers a number of
very important subjects regarding
which most poultry raisers stand in
need of information.
There are few departments of our
paper to which we give more T
full attention than to those on pages
4 and 5, and it gives Is pleasure to
see that our hOusekeeperS, our young
men and women, and our Old men,
too, watch these pages. We seldom
see a better Southern poem than
Midsummer" contributed to a
Chattanooga exchange, OF an article
so beautifully written and at the
same time 50 fOrcible, convincing
and thoughtful as B. o. Flowers
The Fireside and The Future"
Let no father or mother fail to
read it.
The Alliance appears to be holding
its own in spite of the heated cam
paign through which we are passing.
We r glad to be able to publish 50
many well-written reports of county
meetings this week and hope that
county Secretaries who have not yet
followed their good example will no
longer delay. Do not fail to give
full list of new county officers and
name of delegate and alternate to
State Alliance. Where for any
no county meeting was held
at the regular time, the President
should at once call a meeting for
Thursday or Saturday before our
State meeting august 14th,) or
some earlier date, so that every
county may be represented at the
State meeting.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1900-07-24

We are glad to e that thus far
this year few Alliancemen have at
tempted to drag the Order into the
political discussion by saying that
by it's teachings they must vote for
the amendment, or against the
amendment, or for or against any
candidate. The Alliance teaches
that it's members should study ''the
science of economical government in
a strictly non-partisan spirit ;" that
they should "strive to secure entire
harmony and good will among all
mankind and to suppress prejudice
of all kinds and ''selfish ambition, "
and that they should be charitable
in all things. Beyond this the Ali
ance does not go and, except on mat
tiers regarding which it has officially
expressed an opinion it should not
figure political discussions, except as
an advocate of the principles named.
