met with Wade Sub July 9Th. We
were so fortunate as to have our
State Secretary and Business Agent,
Bro. T. B. Parker, to address us.
His speech of about one and a half
hours was clear and practical, and
was gladly received by all present.
The meeting was well attended by
the brethren and friends, especially
good, taking into consideration the
busy season of our people. The coed
sisters we're present as usual, and
spread for US a sumptuous dinner,
and we call did eat and were filed"
and there was enough left to feed
about as many more. The brethren
expressed a determination during the
business session that our county
should be more thoroughly organized
during the ensuing year. Bro. Ma
than Williams was elected delegate
to the State Alliance, with Bro. @. G.
Mcclellan his alternate. Both of them
will be there unless sickness pre-
vents.
On the following day, July 9th, it
was our good pleasure to attend the
Sampson County meeting, which was
with South River Sub. The attend
ance was not so large as the Cumber-
land, but surely it was not lacking
in interest and enthusiasm. "A mum
Der of questions pertaining to the
good of the Order and the farmers
generally were ably discussed, and a
resolution was made to more thor

the next few months. Bro. A. F.

are glad. I predict now that in the
next year Alamance County will be
in the forefront in the Alliance
work.
The Progressive Farmer came in
for a share. All declared that it was
the best all-round family paper in the
South, and deserved, and should have,
our hearty support.
While we do not claim that this
was a great body of men, we do say
it was a body of great men-men
who dare to say and to do what they
believe to be right. Now let us all
bend our energy to make the State
Alliance a success.
Very sincerely,

Chapel. Bro. T. B. Parker, S. B. A.,
was with us and delivered an address
touching on organization, which was
the most up-to-date Farmers Ali

shirk nor shun any important ques-

simply and forcibly illustrated them,
and kept his hearers sp~ell-bound
through his entire discourse, making
a deep and lasting impression on
their minds. We thank him for what

good may be derived from the valu-

children out to hear Brother Parker,
and we trust that the farmers wives

The Alamance County Farmers
Alliance met IN the town of Graham
on the 9th of July, according to pre-
7ious announcement. On account of
the fire that completely destroyed the
Vestal building, the same morning,
every available space in and around
the courthouse was covered with dry
goods of one sort or another, and
the Alliance was forced to look for
new quarters. Mr.. W. j. Nicks, who,
by the way, is one of the most pros
porous, energetic and clever mer-
chants in the county, kindly tender
ed us his large hall, well situated and
ventilated, etc., which was accepted
with the thanks of the entire body.
After the usual routine of bust
ness, the Alliance proceeded to elect
the following officers for the coming
year: President, A. G. Garrison;
Vice-President, r. o. Hargis; Secre-
tary, II. M. Gates; Treasurer, J. H.
Walker; Chaplain, J. II. Walker;
Lecturer, II. M. Gates; Business

The afternoon session was most
proftably spent in an old-time ex-
perience meeting and nearly every
n seemed to grow strong and full
of zeal as he told of the prospects
of the Alliance in his section and
how he loved the cause. I am glad
to say that the outlook for the Ali

than it has been in a number of
years. And indeed these old breth-

THEY DEAL IN LEGACIEs.

Booking over the wills daily depos-i ited in the office of the clerk of the surrogate's court in the county court house are a good many men who are not lawyers or persons interested di- rectly in the estates concerned. They are agents of firms that make a busi- ness of purchasing legacies and mak- ing loans on inheritances.
 It is not the large legacies that at tract their attention so much as the small ones from $50 up to 5000. Elk perience has shown that 1t is the small est legatees who are most likely to borrow money or to sell their interest outright. . go.
 Tn a good many eases these small bequests are. made to distant relatives and friends who are not in prosperous circumstances, to whom waiting a year for the estate to be settled may mean a great deal. They are just the per sons that the leading firms are look ing for, and almost every person so mentioned in a will filed in this county gets one or more letters from these firms.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-07-02

If the bequest be share in real es- tate the offer will be to purchase the share. Loans for from three months to five years are offered and bids are made to purchase the legacy outright, the moneys to be paid as soon as it has been assigned. Competition has become so fierce of late that rates of interest are being cut to get business.
 A person may have been turned down often by his friends, in trying to borrow won't have any difficulty in getting a loan once his name Is men toned in a will filed in any of the large cities, for there are similar con- cerns operating in other places than New York. In fact, he will quickly have the novelty of having loans of fered him.
 According to some of the agents of these firms, about one out of every ten persons who get small shares in estate decides he wants the money right off for investment or other purposes, espe- cial1y when he learns that on interest is paid on bequest pending the settle ment of the estate. In consequence the lending firms operating in this man. her are doing a good business.-New York Sun.

The "Arab'' in Natal,

There is trouble in South Africa regarding the colored labor problem. The Hindu traders (called "Arabs'') year by year become a more impor- tant element in commercial affairs in Natal. That they are keen con- petitors and possess many qualifi- cations for commerce cannot be de- nied. They live frugally, and can save money where a Jew would starve. Thus 1t Is that many of them are becoming wealthy men, posses sing a great deal of property, and in some cases even driving their own traps, sometimes even with a white coachman. A pet scheme of theirs appears to be never to pay until full legal process, even to the point of seizing their effects and selling by auction has been resorted to. Then they pay, and return next day to the merchant to begin a new account.-South African Exports.

Good newspaper advertising is not alone for to-day or tomorrow. The advertisement of your business which adequately represents it, will not only interest your regular customers; 1t will day by day, draw to you new customers, whose immediate patron age counts for little as compared with their trade year by year. An adver- tisement which brings you a new GUS toner is a success.
