The
 Best I Tonic For Hot Weather

Medical science has pronounced pure, whole some beer to be the best tonic ir the world during the summer season.
 When the system is run down; when the body and brain are fatigued by the activities of life dur ing the heat of summer, a glass of good, cold beer at home will refresh and invigorate you as nothing else will.
 But be sure your beer is pure. Impure beer, or beer improperly brewed and ripened, is the worst thing you could take into your stomach. Our beer has been pronounced by the ablest scientific au- thority in the world as "the purest and best made in this country"
 Telephone us your orr der for q case of this beer, and it will be deliv- cred promptly.

Scotch people of Robson county in
Alliance work. l was met at Buie'S
by Bro. J. A. Humphrey, President
of the Robson County Alliance, who
carried me to his home, where Ispent
the night pleasantly. Bro. Hum

ganized WakUlla Sub. with a gOOdly
number of the best people of that
section. On Tuesday night l visited
Branchville Sub, in lower part of
the county, where my lecture seemed
gladly received by the brethren and
friends, and 1 expect to hear of a re-
rival in the Alliance in that section
soon. On Wednesday morning l
started on my way, expecting to
reach Gold Hill Sub. section by
Thursday a. m, a distance of 20
miles. But on Thursday a. M. it
was raining so I could not reach Gold

SKETCH OF PROF. IRBY.

The American Agriculturist of
Dec. 18th contained an excellent pOr-
trait of Prof. Benjamin Irby, with
this brief sketch Of his life:
Born Nov. 3, so, at Sardis, Miss,
Prof. Irby was raised on a farm and
educated at the Agricultural and Me
chanical College at Starkville, grad
uating in 81. He farmed one yea
and then was called back to his
alma mater as an instructor. Two
years was made Prof. of Agriculture
and held this position for two years.
In 80 he resigned to establish a
model 1,O0O-acre experiment farm
for the Georgia, Southern & Florida
Railroad. After three years of this
work Prof. Irby accepted the chair
of Agriculture at the n. c.. College
of Agriculture at Raleigh. He has
held this position ever since, with an
interruption of two years. He is
now also A~griculturist for the Elk
pertinent Station. He has gained
the confidence of the farmers of the
State by encouraging them to put
forth their best efforts at all times
and in showing them not only what
to do, but how to do it"

A NOTED CORN BREEDER.

Mr.. J. c. Suffern, of VOORHEES,,
Ills, is one of the most successful
corn breeders in the country. He
enjoys the double advantage of be-
ing Il corn specialist, and thoroughly
practical farmer. Mr.. E. S. Furman,
ex-President of the Illinois Corn
Growers Association, has declared
that the literature of corn has no
better exponent than Mr.. Suffern.
Farmers generally 7 very much at
sea, and greatly differ on many ques-
tions of vital Importance relating to
the breeding and growing Of corn.
A large number OF corn farmers
throughout this State, are anX-
iOusly seeking information relating
to the cheapening of the cost Of pro
ducing, and the best means for in
creasing their average yield.
In this issue is another of IL series
of articles from Mr.. Suffern, on
corn and kindred subjects, which we
think will present Il great amount of
practical working information on
the subject of breeding and growing
corn in all of its various phases.

MR.. GEO. E. BOGGs DEAD.

One of the Most Prominent Farmers in
Western North Carolina Passed Away-A
Man of Convictions and Character.
WAYNEsvILLE, Dec. 27.-GeO. E.
Boggs, of this city, died here last
night. The funeral was preached
from the Presbyterian church by
Rev. Frank D. Hunt, in whose
church he was an elder. The remains
will be sent to Winnsboro, S. c., for
burial Saturday morning.
Rev. Frank D. Hunt, speaking Of
Mr.. BOggs' life and character, says {:
"He was a man of intense earnest
ness of conviction and fearlessness
in maintaining his convictions,
whether popular OF not. [ have
known him intimately for several
years as his pastor, he being an elder
in my church here, and [ can say
that he is a man of as high stand
ard of honor and integrity as [ have
ever known. His conception of the
value Of his Dlighted word was akin.
to the chivahy of old and much to
be admired in these degenerate days
when the words Of most men are SO
lightly spoken and loosely kept. o In
all the relations of life he has com
manded the respect andconfdence of
his fellowmen, however widely they
may have differed with him in his
opinions. He has maintained "a stand
ard of political cleanness and up
Brightness that has borne, and I trust
viii still bear, fruit in all parties
where HIS fife is known"

AGAINST THE ROUND BALE TRUST.
Farmers Must Unite to Rush 1t Out.

Farmers Must Unite to Rush 1t Out.
O~rrespondenc e of The Progressive Farmer.
Regardless of the notes of warn-
ing that you have been giving the
farmers about the American Cotton
Co., (the Round Bale TruSt) I have
not yet seen where the farmers have
taken united action against it. I
think that it is one of the greatest
menaces to the cotton growers that
has been organized since the Bagging
Trust, if not even greater than that.
Their object seems to be to drive
all the small gins out of the country.
Then the farmers may look out, for
the American Cotton Co. can and
will charge just what they please for
ginning and baling and the farmers
must submit.
1t seems to me that it is time for
the Alliance and other farmers or
CARNATIONS to take cOgnizance of
this thing, which, like a gigantic Oc-
tOpus, is fastening its t%entacleS
around the cotton growing industry
of this country, and intends even
Tually to crush the life out of it. If
the farmers will unite and resolve
not to patronize any ginning com
pany that uses the round bale syS-
tenn of gins, neither by selling their
cotton to them nor employing them
TO gin and bale it, the trust a be
broken up. For we all know the
fate of the bagging trust, and that
was as strong or stronger when it
was crushed out by the Alliance than
the American Cotton Co. is so far.
But the Alliance was in better con-
dition for work then than at present.
However, 1 am glad to note through
the columns of The Progressive
Farmer that the Alliance is reviving
in all sections of this State, and l
hope that it is so in all the other
States. Lone Star Sub. is the only
one in working order in this pas
quotank) county but I hope that the
time is not far distant when the
others will be re-Organized. Lone
Star has grown steadily for the past
three years, and it is still growing
rapidly. Old members are coming
back and new ones are joining at
nearly every meeting. At a called
meeting Monday night of this week
the subject, The American Cotton
Company" was discussed, and It vas
the wishes of those present that l
should write a short article to The
Progressive Farmer, that thereby
we might attract the attention Of
the farmers to the subject and cause
it to be agitated and some united
effort be aroused TO put it down be
fore it gets US in its grasp.
If you think that anything 1 have
said is worthy of space in your valu-
able paper, use it, if not let it go to
the waste basket. But whether you
publish this or not, please don't fail
to continue to warn the farmers Of
the danger they are in, to which L
have tried to call their attention.
