 Dear Slrs:-Mr. William E. Sutton of the EOeksfellow's mine, and myself spent yes terday inspecting the Nancy Gold Mines < Tunnel Co. property and we would say it is one of the best propositions ever of fered here in the East The stock is worth a great deal more than you are asking for it. We are very jubilant over the property and do not like to see the stock sold so cheaply. Mir. Schroeder and party are at the, mines today and they cannot help being greatly pleased. The above from Mir. E. F. Crooker, for twenty five years practical miner, who thor oughly appreciates the companys proper ties.

fear my action in the meeting of
October 23d, 1901, was misunder
stood, and / wish TO set myself right
before you and ask you TO consider
my proposition.
From the remarks made by some
present the impression seemed TO be
shat / was opposed TO the name of
our honored State heading the style
of organization, and that / vas
trying to give other States prestige
over it. I will say here that l yield
the palm to no one for loyal devotion
20 old North Carolina, or to the
claims of citizenship and the right to
defend her whenever assAiled.
do not wish to oppose this organ
izatiOn, only wish TO place it where
it will accomplish the greatest good
Most of the ground covered by your
constitution is already covered by
she Alliance, and it is not necessary
TO have two organizations fer the
same purpose. Then our noble De-
partment of Agriculture looks after
the making of crops it does it's part
nObly and it is q great blessing and
inspiration 3D. the farmers OF our
State. It's present management will
make it's record one of the bright
pages of it's history.
The Association of which / have
the honor of being Secretary, has for
it's object somewhat differ, MT duties
from those of yours. It's prime OBJ
jec6 is TO ascertain the value of Our
great staple and maintain the price.
Some of you think that is combining
TO too small a scope that we should
look after every branch of the prod
ucts of the soil. I say any one of
them developed to it's posi- 0illties
will require the talent of the best
men of this country. If the oil in
dustry can offer 81, ZOO, 900 for a man
to manage it, why should this great.
est of all exporting commodities take
less talent?
Il is very common SO hear it said
shat 'anybody Gan farm" and when
a man can do nothing else he can
raj e cotton. The grea sest magnates
of the world, are she oil men the
poorest are the Cotson producers.
Why not profit by this object lesson?.

SHIP SUBSIDIES AND PUBLIC ROADS.

correspondence OF b Progressive Farmer.
We greatly enjoyed the enthusi
asm and the good argument of Sena-
bur simmons address TO the Good
Roads Convention on the Importance
of good roads, and agree with him
fully as 20 their absolute neces ity.
But we fail TO understand why the
farmers alone should be expected TO
build them-in other words, why
good public roads should be made
she burden alone of those who live
In the rural districts. We think the
city merchant, the meohani !, the
doctor, the preacher and even the
railroads and every citizen in the
towns and cities, re interested in
and should contribute to the mp
building of a perfect system of good
roads. There is not q man, woman
IT child, nor any enterprise that il
not retarded, hsmpered, by bad
roads and helped by good roads. S.
then every enterprise and every in.
dividuaI should unite in one solid
determined effort with all the ability
az command and push and pull to
gether till the desired end be reached.
We should ask the National Gov
eminent to come TO our assistance in
this. All these interests have con-
tributed TO the large surplus in the
treasury, and q special GLASS, the
large ship owners, T now, with
eyes and aims fixed upon it, plying
every argument and influence at
their command in efforts 80 direct is
20 u ship subsidy appropriation
Would it not be better for all other
interests TO combine and ask Con
gress 80 go slow in the ship subsidy
business until we put our pablo
roads in such condition that the
products of the rural districts can
be easily, economically and speedily
removed to the seaUorts before we
spend the money on subsidies to
help remove these products from
the seaportsP
The farmers especially should be
interested and enthusiastically active
in this movement, since their prod
uots and by-produots not only feed
our whole population, but furnish
at least so per cent. of the exports
which add to the material wealth of
our nation. There Is No reason why
the governments should be impover
ished by a liberal appropriation TO
she good work Not n cent of is
will go out of the country. All the
machinery and the materials are
here, and while the appropriation
would put that amount in oircula
ton, it would add many fold to the
permanent wealth of the country
and soon go back into the treasury
vaults. \ y +

II compel manufacturers TO tell
what is in the bottle that is so beau
tifully colored. Old Virginia turns
out a big lot of stuff that Is guiltless

lent jams the only stuff sold. A big

ing baking powder at A cents a pound
until the authorities swooped down
upon them and seized the whole lot.

made up of powdered rock. Think
of is! Luckily the general run of
department. stores would not handle
such stuff and the store in question

And by the way, the department

development, good deal of interest,
that might be told in some future
letter
THE COTTON MARKET
contains very little of interest. There
is a big difference of opinion as TO
whether or not a large quantity is
oeing held back in the South by bad
weather. The outlook is not at all
disoouraging and, in fact, is rather
she other way, a slight gain having
been made within q few days There
are so many ''ifs and ands," how
ever, that it would seem as though

MR. JOHN P. ALLISON ON FARMERS Or

An Interesting Paper by the Secretary Of the
Cotto Growers Protective Association.

An Interesting Paper by the Secretary Of the
COtto Growers Protective Association.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
me enclosed is u communication
from Mr.. JnO. P. Allison, which he
wanted me to read before the N. G..
Farmers Association at it's meeting
in Raleigh, January 14th, but I did
not get it in time for that meeting.
From some remarks at the meeting
in October, Nh. Allison is afraid that
his position in regard 30 insisting
that the new organization be merged
into the Cotton Growers Protective
Association was misunderstood, and
he wrote this paper setting him
self right with any who may have
misunderstood him.
Aside from this, 1 consider the
paper of value to our farmers at this
time. Mr.. Allison is q successful
merchant of Cpnoord, as we'll as q
successful farmer, and has watched
closely the trend of the times. He
realizes that this il an age of organ
ization and is not afraid TO insist
that the farmers shall organize for
their mutual benefits and protection.
While this writer NAV disagree with
Mr.. Allison in some of the details
necessary to complete organization,
yet in the main, and in the essentials
1 might say, we are not very far
apart.
Mr.. Allison sees the necessity of
organization, as hundreds of our best
farmers all over the State do If
the bitter experiences that we are
now passing through will not serve
TO unite "a then indeed there is but
lit 9 hope for &C operation among as
The Alliance has fought u good
fight, and is is now dong valiant
work, but to be most effective it
needs the assistance Of q few good
and influential men in every county
In the State. Ii is impossible for the
State officers of the Alliance TO do
the work effectively without the 90,
operation of the farmers of the
State for whose benefits they are
labOring. Brethren, (for all are
Orethren,) arous yourselves, shake
IF your lethargy and do something
for the betserment of yourself and
your fellow farmer. Read Mr. ALI.
SINS letter and catoh the spirit OF
organization.
We are sitting idly by and letting
time pass that would be golden OPP
portunities if taken advantage OF. /

things, and beg you TO bestir your
selves, May the tine SOON come
when we will be delivered from our
own Indifference.

Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1902-10-17

The influences which have
wrought to this end" under
many difficulties, says the Man
ufacturers' Record, in comment
ing on the statements shown
above, are now beginning to en-
JOY definite results. They feel
that their work has not been in
vain, but that there must be no
slackening up of effort, for to
their task of attra citing attention
to Southern opportunities is like
ly to be added that of preventing
the mistakes which may be made
on the part of would-be settlers
and investors mis1ed by class
OF promoters who usually may
be depended upon to make nay
for themselves while the sun
shines, without rendering due re-
turn. We trust that there will
indeed be no slackening up of
effort" and that the expectations
and hopes of the patient and en-
ergetic workers in this field will
be abundantly realized.

by cotton mills, oil mills, knitting
factories, etc." are evidence of
the improvement in farming and
ag ricultural interests in Georgia
and Florida, largely aided by the
migration into these states of
farmers and other men from
the Northwestern states"
The rosy view of the future
taken by the three agents quoted
is shared by Capt. ]. T. Merry,
assistant general passenger
agent of the Illinois Central rail-
road, who counts on an i'm migra-
ton from the North to the South
within the next year similar to
the remarkable movement dur
ing the past two years from the
Northwest into the Canadian
wheat lands. He says he has
knowledge of an nusua1 inter-
est which has sprung up within
the last sixty days among bank
ers, merchants, doctors, real es-
tate agents and railroad men
throughout the Northwest in the
matter of Southern land interests
OF demand, at advance d prices,
tor undeveloped cotton and corn
lands in the South, and Of a gen.
eral feeling everywhere that

THE SOUTHWARK MOVEMENT.

There has long been need of
systematic setting forth of the
agricultural advantages of tisa
Southern states in order to in
duce immigration of desira BILE
sort. The vast region between
the Potomac and the Rio Grande,
with its mild climate, 1ow-priced
and fertile lands, it's exclusive
production Of cotton, rice and SUI
gar, and its capacity for every
other crop grown in the United
States, ought to be the i'm mi
grants land of promise and
should become the agriculturist S
paradise.
The most systematic advertise
ing that has been done is the
work of the leading Southern
railways, and as a result the
movement of population into the
favored section has been such as
to lead to a series of special arti-
c1es on the subject in the October
issue of the Southern Farm Mag
azine from Representative railroad
men who have given attention to
the work. Their exhibit is in
every encouraging.
The land and industrial agent
of the Southern railroad, Mr.. NJ.
V. Richards, points to the open
ing of millions Of acres of wild

lands, the enormous increase in
local Southern travel, the estab-
lishment of prosperous colonies
and the extension of areas devot-
ed to fruit, grain and stock as a
proof of the influx of settlers in
to the territory covered by that
system. He says that the fact
that 635 new industries have
been started, Els enlarged an |
155 put under construction WITH
in the year along the lines of that
system alone has bad a marked
effect on immigration.
The industrial and immiera-
ton agent Of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st Louis railway,
Col. J. B. Killebrew, says that
within the past ten years more
than 5000 heads of families and
single men have bought an aver
age of one hundred acres of land
each in the region traversed by
that road, making 100000 acres
newly occupied by Northern i'm
