have buyers at each market. He
says the company is in for business.
To-day a license tax of $1,000, State

correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
/ e in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
of March 18th, a letter from Mr.. j.
M. Beatty headed ''How You Pay
Your Part of the $40, 600, 900 Tax"
There is too much truth in his letter
for it TO be successfully denied. I
for one am in favor of working the
public roads by taxation, and 1 hope
that our next law-making powers
that meet January, 1908, will make a
law TO stop this so, OOO, 900 tax for
bad roads and make a tax for good
roads of 81 on the 800 worth of
property and 80 cents on the poll for
q term of five years. I think this
would raise plenty of money TO put
the roads in good shape. l hope to
hear from others. s. s. SYKES.

LETTING OF SAMPSON COUNTY FARM.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Sampson County Farmers ALI
ance met at Purdona, April 10th,
1902. The meeting was called to
order by the President, E. T. Tur
lington. We are proud TO say we
had a good meeting. Bro. ]. @. Balm,
our State Lecturer, wa with Us and
gave Us much good information. The
trade question vas discussed by Bro.
Rain and others, and it seemed that
every one present became interested
so much that they forgot when din
ner time came.
At 8 p. m. the meeting adjourned
and a good dinner was spread before
the crowd, which all seemed to en-
joy. As the farmers always do at
their meetings, they had a plenty of
good rations and some left over.
Our next County Alliance meets at
South River the second Thursday in
July. We are looking forward to a
good meeting. Let every member
that can do so, be present. We have
some up to date members over there
and we are satisfied shat you will be
taken care of properly.

would die, 1 grew so weak that I
could not walk any more than a
child a month old, and I only
weighed sixty pounds. One day my
brother saw in a paper your adver-
tisement of Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy. He bought me a
bottle at our drug store and I took
it, My family could see a change in
me, for the better, so they obtained
more and I continued the use Of
Swamp-Root regularly. I was so
weak and run down that it took
considerable to build me up again.
I am now we'll, thanks to Swamp,
Root, and weigh 148 pounds, and am
keeping house for my husband and
brother on a farm. Swamp-Root
cured me after the doctors failed to
do me a particle of good.

.,rpserNe MEETING OF TEE NASH
EA"O COUNTY ALLIANCE.

-.,danoe of The Progressive Farmer
"n Oar County Alliance meeting at
Gin, Grove Church last Thursday
che best one we have had in
,bont two years. All lodges In
king order were represented,
one. Nearly all the county
Ulcers we're present. The attend.
.,oa was the largest we have had in
.ome time. Several of the good
.,.ters were present; also, some
,.diss who were not members, (but
ora hope they will be before long,
staved outdoors while the secret
mart was performed. Our worthy
president, Bro. s. S. Sykes, whose
taen ewes seldom fool him, had
already 'seen signs" of better things ;
az he lost no time on routine and at
the proper time announced, "Reoess
for dinner" Now, we always try
70 do our duty on such occasions,
and this proved no exception TO the
rule.
1t was a grand feast, indeed and
had some semblsnoe of the Alliance
dinners of olden times. What pity
that all good people, especially farm
ers and lsborers, do not join the
Order and make its influence felt
more strongly!
We are nothing, scarcely, TO what
we should be, but / am proud TO say
that this meeting showed an incrsase
of 40 per cent. over any previous one
in the past twelve months.
In conclusion, we will say that the
next county meeting will be held at
same place on our regular day in
July, and we hope TO have a bet
ter meeting than we had this
time. Can't some brother, whose
lodge has gone down, bestir himself
slittle, get a few of his neighbors 70
help, and bring his report TO the July
meeting? G. b. BAINEs, Seo'y.

TEACHERS SHOULD ATTEND THE SUN,
MER SCHOOL OF THE SOUTH.
Sampson Co., N. G.

Jurisprudence Of The Progressive Farmer.
The Summer School of the South,
the first session of which will be
held at the University of Tennessee,
June 18th TO July 31st of this year,
is one of the most important move
ments for Improvement of the teach
ers of the Southern States that has
yet been made. The faculty en-
ployed for this frat session will in
olude 45 men and women, each
selected for scholarship in soma
special line and for ability TO teach.
Among these are some of the best
known teachers in America.
The courses are organized with
special reference to the needs OF
schools IN this section. In order TO
adapt the work to the needs OF
teachers of ell sections about eighty
different courses are offered, ranging
from the kindergarten and the pr
mary District school to high school
and college work. This will make il
possible for teachers to select such
groups of studies as they may be
most interested in.
A large part of the money for this
school is given by people at the
North interested in the advancement
Of education in the South, and by
she citizens of Knoxville and Knox
County. 1t is their desire that the
very best possible school be made
and that the cost TO teachers will be
the least possible. The only charge
made for tuition and for attendance

Tho "Pettlcoat Insurrection.- -

Perhaps the first "womans right"
movement in America was connected
with the early history of the settle
ment Of Louisiana, for there early in
the century occurred the famous met
ticoat insurrection." The French girls
who had come to settle in the country
under allurements which proved de-
ceptive were particularly indignant at
being fed upon corn. Blenville thus
reports the matter in one of his dis
patches: THE males in the colony
begin, through habit, to be reconciled
to corn as an article of 'nourishment,
but the females, who are mostly Pa
risians, have for this kind of food a
dogged aversion. which has not vet
been subdued. Hence, they inveigh
bitterly against his grace, the Bishop
of Quebec. who, they say, has enticed
them away from their home under the
pretext of sending them to enjoy the
milk and honey of the land OF prom
ise."-Pearson's Magazine.

Russia is sending us couple of
very novel pelts the skins of popies
and of calves for making motor-car

bloGses wealthy women are wearing so
much this winter.
The skins of the ponies are not very
large. and are forwarded names and
all, to the furriers, but so far the
names have not been made useful
Perhaps the toy trade will eventually

color 1t is also the commonly met
hue of the little Scandinavian horses
driven in Norway almost exclusively,
and much seen, too, in Sweden and
Finland. The skin dyes brown and a
lovely jet black most successfully, and
is so strong that it is uncommonly
suitable for rough-wear wraps.
Nor is it outrageously expensive. A
Russian blouse made of It comes to 81
guineas. Motorists in the feminine

Russian pony suits are certain to
please them, and fur caps of the pelt
are sent out with the toilette, so that
the whole picture is complete.
The Russian calf makes very pretty
snow-white coats, tufted with black,
and charming reveres, cuffs, ties and
muif for cloth redingotes. To some
eyes this pelt will resemble miniver
but there is a huge monetary differ
ence between it and eTmine, as well as
a visible one, especially as miniver-
which is really ermine tufted with
black tips of the tails only instead of
the tails themselves-is daily going up
in price, in view of the coronation and

PARIS UNDERTAKERS LAMENT.
Fewer Costly Funerals Now than in th

be"er Noshy Funerals Now than In the
Good Old Times.
The last Paris exposition has been
blamed for many things, but few peo-
pie suspected that it has earned a
grudge on the part of the undertakers.
such, however, proves to be the case.
A few days ago l was informed by a
member of this somber fraternity that
l9Ol had been one of the worst years
IN his line that he could remember.
and official statistics support his state
mant.
During last year the number OF
deaths in Paris was $500 fewer than
the average. and one large firm of un-
dertakers did $4,000 less business than
in 1900, while another showed a de-
crease in receipts of e1,6OO. The
prospect grows less promising every
year.
Every Sunday there is an average oil
200 funerals in Paris, but last Sunday
the number was only 100 The reduc.
Eon in profits is attributed by the un.
dertakers to the exhibition, bad trade
and the increased cost of living, all
of which have tended to keep Parish.
aXs away from the capital and make

The cheapest funeral in Paris costs
IL shillings, but, if one feels inclined
one may spend as much as G12,00O on
being buried. Among the costliest
obsequies that France has known, was
that of the Due d'Aumale, which cost
&2,400: the Emperor of Brazil, G3,20O
and that Of the late Mr.. Mackay sor
OF the silver king, the bill for wh,ch
amounted to $4,000.
