The Thinkers.
COUNTRY VS.. CITY POLITICS.

There is reason for modifying
great glorying On the part of parti-
Fans when victory comes in towns.
The facts need to be known before
great exultation is INDUCED. There
is more corruption in the towns than
In the country. That which is pur-
est and most truly American in this
land IS in the rural districts. The
conserving forces are welded for the
greater part by the great middle
class of land owners who live out on
their farms. The masses of ignorant
and debauched voters and scheming
n corrupt politicians of the cities
and towns Ire Enthusiastically. In
their hands the highest veal of the
republic would be in peril Let not
unwilling and loyal partizans throw
up their hats too Justify at the news
OF victory in off years among the
towns of the country. They do not
signify any premOnitiOns of the
status Of States. When the time
rolls around to decide upon issues
that involve the moral and material
we'll being of the State or the nation
and all the people are aroused there
by to act,and moral and latent forces
of the people in the rural districts
r brought into play, the safest re-
suits are ALWAYS to be eXDeCted from
elections. The country folk and
town folk very often, at least, do not
see alike in these contests .-Rev. P.
R. Law, in Lumberton Robesonian.

IN SAMPSON AND WILSON COUNTIES.
jackson Co, n. G

Secretary Parker Attended Their Alliance
Meetings-Reports From All Counties
Quite Encouraging.
CORRESPONDENCE of The Progressive Farmer.
1t was my pleasure to attend n
county Alliance meetings in Wilson
and Sampson last week. We met the
brethren of Wilson at Rock Ridge,
Thursday, 18th. I do not recall the
number of Sub. Alliances that were
represented, but there were a goodly
number of Alliancemen present.
All seemed to be hopeful and thought
brighter days for the Alliance are
neal at hand. I was unable to stay
for the afternoon session, so do not
know what business came before
them. The brethren and sisters had
provided a most sumptuous dinner
and after partaking of that Bro. l..
E. Newsom took me to Lucama
where 1 boarded the train for Rose
bOro so as to be present at the reor-
g~anization of Sampson County ALI
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1901-04-23

acce the next day. In this connec-
o L wish to say that around L1ca-
ma there are as fine FARMING landa
as l have eve seen and many Of
Ihe farms are owned by Alliance
men whose doors are always wide
open to any member of the efrater-
nifty" who may be journeving
through that section.
At Salemburg, the place selected
for the reorganization of SAMPSON
County Alliance, I met quite an as
semblage of Alliance people and nom
Alliance people. The forenoon was
devoted to addresses and the after
noon to the work Of re. organization,
n the regular order of business.
During the intermission the ladies
spread one of the best dinners that
1t has been my privilege to be at in
quite a while. The people showed
their appreciation by partaking of
1t freely. The Salemburg people
did themselves proud on this occa-
sion. L think that every one who
attended enjoyed the day.
The principals of the high school
there, whose names l failed to get,
dismissed the scholars at IL o'clock,
many of whom, with the teachers,
attended all the exercises including
dinner, except the executive ses-
sion" of the Alliance. I counted
thirty nine Alliancemen in the Hall
and there may have been others on
the outside. Again I had to leave
before the session was over, but not
until after they had elected their
officers, the names of which l pre-.
sumo will be furnished you by their
Country Secretary, and is a guaran-
tee that these brethren mean bust
ness.
We reorganized with ten Subs.
represented. Owing to a mistake in
date given out for this meeting, two
Subs. failed to have representatives
at the reorganization. 1t was very
gratifying to hear the many words
of encouragement coming from the
brethren which plainly showed that
they realized the benefits of organi.
zatiOn.
State Lecturer Balm was with us
and added very materially to the
pleasures of the occasion. We left
him in charge and therefore rested
easy, knowing that the brethren
were in good hands.
If we do not often near from these
brethren with good reports, we shall
be disappointed and lose faith in
signs.
In conclusion will say that the re
ports that have come in since the
the county meetings show ar in
creased interest, in some instances
very marked. With discretion anG
proper effort 1 see no reason why
the Alliance should not move for
ward. Fraternally,
T. B. PARKER, Sec'y.

GOOD ROADS.

We have previously stated that
the loss incurred by bad roads in the
United States amounts to about six
million dollars annually.
With these figures staring them in
the face we cannot see how any far
mer-fOr the farmer is the man
upon whom this loss falls-can fail
to see the wisdom in spending a few
dollars each year for the of
good roads. This enormous loss
falls more heavily upon the South
than upon any other section, because
it's railroad facilities are more limi-
ted than other sections and the haul
to market or shipping point is
greater.
To give some idea of the great
waste of energy and force that bad
roads incur, it is only necessary to
say hat recent experiments by ex-
perts shows the following results:
''The load that one horse can
move on iron rails on a level road
requires a horse and a half on level
asphalt pavenents, three and a half
horses on the best Belgian block
pavement, seven horses on cobble
stones, 20 horses on ordinary dirt
roads and 40 horses on sand"
This would go to show that the
farmers who hauls his product over
on ordinary dirt road, when it is in
even fair condition, is required to
supply just twenty times as much
power as the roads is required to
supply to move the same amount of
product.
In the Eastern part of the State
where the roads are sandy, this
power has to be doubled.
In a great many sections of the
State rock for macadam is not avail
able, and good roads necessarily cost
more.
In the oil belts of Pennsylvania
and the adjacent territory, crude oil
has been used for road-makiug with
very satisfactory results.
This oil is cheap and can be pur-
chased 1T the wells at a small cost.
It is claimed that a road treated
to the oil process is both water and
dust proof It is to be hoped, now,
that a new impetus has been given
to road building in this State, the
good work will go on until every
county has good roads. The money
spent in building good roads brings
better and surer interest than any
investment the farmer can made.

lima realize tkis they will have taken
a long step forward.-Charlotte

THE ALLIANCE IN JACKSON.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
We held our April meeting with
Loves Chapel Sub. on Thursday,
April 18th. Our meeting vas small
but very enthusiastic. We had only
three Subs represented, but all pres
ent seemed in good cheer and said
enough Alliancemen e present
to keep Jackson County Alliance
alive, that as long as the members
present lived Jackson County Ali
anoe should not die. We now look
for some more new members, also
for one or two e Subs. to join US
soon. Let it be so, is the earnest de-
sire of all true members.
