County Alliance met. This was a
successful county meeting. Your
correspondent was worked for all he
was worth in this meeting. And
strange to say, the county meeting
was asked to adjourn in order that
the Salemburg sub might hold a short
session, and I'm glad to say that
many were that day enrolled as mem
bers of Salem sub, and a kind feel
ings went out through the county
for the Farmers Alliance.
We went from here to Goldsboro,
and were met there by Brethren HIT.
Jones and J. M. Mitchell, and were
carried out to their homes four miles
north of Goldsboro. Here in a
neighboring school house at night,
we met a number of farmers, their
wives, sons and daughters, and pro-
ceeded to talk to them on the needs
and benefits of organization. And
we did our best. to tell them in a
plain and simple way the benefits of
fered by the Alliance.
Wherever we went we found the
Farmers Alliance composed of the
best and most prosperous people of
the community. I believe the time is
at hand for the Alliance to move for
ward. I see no reason why that be-
fore the next State Alliance we
should not double, triple, yes quad
ripple our present membership.

almost in every home, and on every

efts: Like the Queen hal visited
Solomon, I might spend weeks in
writing, and yet of the splendid

On the morning of the 7th inst,
this writer boarded the train at Me-
bane bound for Selma, at which place
we were met by Bro. W. A. T. Dur
ham, a prosperous and well-to-do
farmer of Johnston County, and was
carried owe to ~Smithfeld, some four
miles away. This is a beautiful and
thriving town, of which much might
be said in praise.
We found many of the good people
(farmers) gathered there, some to at
tend the County Farmers Alliance,
and some on the tobacco market.
About y o'clock, noon, a number
gathered in the court house for the
purpose of hearing a lecture by this
correspondent.
After being introduced in a nice
little speech by Brother Durham, we
proceeded to make a few scattering
remarks, after which some of the ex-
members stated that at heart they
were for the Alliance and wanted to
rejoin.
After being served to a good din
ner, we moved off toward Wade, in
Cumberland County. There we were
met by our much-esteemed friend
and State Lecturer, j. G. Balm, who
conveyed us over to his splendid
home to spend the night most pleas
antly. The next day we met a host
of Cumberland's good people at Nc
MillAn's Chapel. Here we had a
splendid day, and reasons to believe
that much good was done for u
cause. After talking to these good
people for one hour, we were invited
to gather in the grove with long ia
bles grooming under the burden of
good things to eat, such as would
have done honor to Delmonico.
From here we were carried by
Brother Levander Howard, some six
teen or eighteen miles across the
country to the growing town of Sa-
lemburg. Here, like Isaac, we went
among our mothers people and were
anxious to claim kin. And, by the
way, we found in Salemburg one of
the most fourishing and prosperous
schools in the State presided over by
Prof. Edwards, with perhaps $50
boys and girls representing, I think,
twenty-six counties. Here at night
we made a short talk to these boys
on "How to Make Men,"
On the morning of the 9th, the
farmers began to gather from all
parts of the county. Prof. Edwards
kindly rendered the use of his best
hall, which was packed full of the
good people of Sampson County. AT
ter the choir sang "The Old North

This cabinet member is reported to

though Republican papers very gem

upheld reciprocity, not rs merely the

an essential departure from the pro.

not hesitate to enthusiastically COM

which, as accurately anticipated by
this cabinet member. the supporters
OF reciprocity obtained no O

THIS same cabinet member is
quoted by the World rs indulging in
some very blunt statemente regard

This is what this cabinet member
said:
