Corporation Counsel Asked for Legal
Opinion on This Matter.

The habit OF scattering circulars from
door 10 door is likely to receive a sud
den check through the operation OF the
license laws. The District Commission
ers yesterday referred the question TO
the Corporation Counsel for an opinion
as 20 whether those responsible for the
distribution Of circulars could be re-
quired 20 take out the billposters Ii
cense Of $50 per annum.
The volume OF this waste has reached
the proportions OF a public nuisance.
and Major sylvester is OF the opinion
that many of those scattering these ad-
refreshments about the city do so with
out license. He has suggested that such
persons are liable for the special tax.
II r. Darneille. the Assessor. In a
report upon the subject took similar
view. and. after quoting the law. said
that these people should take out the
bnIposters' license. To make sure. how
ever. he asked that the matter be re-
ferred to the Corporation Counsel. and
a legal opinion submitted for the guild
ance OF the office OF the Assessor and OF
the Police Department.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
III. M. GATES.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
As usual it falls to my lot to give
you and the readers of The Progress
sive Farmer an outline of the prog
ress of our Alliance in Franklin
County. It affords me pleasure to
state that we have had a great revi-
val, and [ truly hope, in the early
future, it will be crowned with re-
newed Gee in every section of
our beloved State. And so with these
remarks / will proceed, if Brother
Cooper will excuse me for using his
name, for ever since he returned
home from the State Alliance at
Hillsboro last August he has had a
strong desire to get Bro. II. M. Gates
with us. Well, about two weeks ago
Brother Gates came to our county
and, commencing at Louisburg, began
to canvass. the different neighbour
hoods where there had been sub Al
liances. Notwithstanding the rainy
weather which prevailed during this
period of two weeks, he organized or
reOrganized ten subs, some of them
ranging between thirty and forty
members. We think Brother Gates
is the right man in the right place.
Anyhow he is very popular among
our people, It was the pleasure of
the writer to entertain him for just
a short while, but during his brief
stay with us he made impressions
that will never be forgotten. Broth
er Gates is a jolly good fellow. And
if you ever have the opportunity to
hear him lecture, do not miss it, for
it will surely do you good.
On Saturday the 18th inst. we met
Bro. T. B. Parker, in Louisburg, who
addressed a large crowd of farmers
and citizens-in the court house. His
speech was sound, f~orceful, and logi-
cal. Then Brother Gates organized
the Franklin County Farmers Al
lance with the following officers:
President, E.. M. Gupton; Vice-Pres-
ident, E. N. Williams; Secretary and
Treasurer, W. II. Stallings; Chap
lain, w. II. S~tallings; Lecturer, H.
D.. Egerton; Assistant Lecturer, @.
T. Perry; Doorkeeper, T. A. Wilson:
Assistant Doorkeeper, Robert Coop
err; Executive Committee, B. F.
Wilder, r. S. Foster, and Robt.
Cooper; Business Agent, w. T.
Wilder.
For fear of intruding upon your
space or not interesting others, | Will
conclude by thanking the Executive
Committee for sending us Brother
Gates. We also welcome his return.
The County Alliance will meet in
Louisburg on second Thursday in
April.

Washington, D. O., Dec. II, 1902.
Having seen mero articles so
highly recommending DR.. Kilmer's.
Swamp-Root for the cure of kidney
and bladder complaints, [ concluded
[ would try it. I wrote DR.. Kilmer
& Go. for a sample bottle of Swamp
Root, and it came promptly. After
taking the contents of the sample
bottle, I experienced some relief,
and then bought from my druggist a
supply. After taking the contents
[ experienced more relief. My kid
neys and bladder resumed their
normal condition, the pain in my
back left me, and I felt like a new
man. I had been treated by the doc
tors for uric acid and also for what
they termed catarrh of the bladder
and kidney trouble. I am constrain-
ed to admit that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, so far as my experience
goes, is a great boon to the human
family, and I feel it my duty to add
my letter to the thousands of others
received in praise of this wonderful
medicine. This testimonial letter
can be used as you see fit.

TWO REPORTS FROM THE FRANK
LIN COUNTY ALLIANCE.
lecturer Gates Organizes Ten Strong
Subs in Ten Nights.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
On the 9th of February, 1908,
vour correspondent went to Louis
burg in Franklin County, and from
here out to the extra good home of
Bro. W. N. Fuller, who, by the way,
! an expert surveyor. The next
morning Brother Fuller harnessed
his best horse and carried-us back to
Louisburg. Here we met a small
number of Franklin County farmers,
and proceeded to talk to them about
the organization of farmers. We
then mapped out some future work.
and drove over to the home of Bro.
+. y. Williams, some six miles north
of Louisburg, where we spent Sunday
and went to church and Sunday
school. Brother Williams has a most
excellent family, and we enjoyed our
stop-over very much.
On Monday night following, we
met a goodly number of farmers at
IngIcside, and after being introduced
by II. T. Edgerton, Esq, in a schol-
IarIy and earnest manner, we gave
them our best reasons why the farm
crs should organize, and as a result
Ingleside now has a sub Alliance of
more than 80 members of the very
hest class of farmers to be found any
where.
This was the entering wedge. In
the next ten nights, ten strong AL
~Iiauces were organized. And on Sat
urday, the 14th of March, there was
a gathering together of Franklin
County's best and most progressive
farmers in the court house which was
kindly rendered by the good sheriff,
II. {. kenney. For this occasion we
had obtained the service of Bro. T.
b. Parker, and notwithstanding
Brother Parker's late affection and
that he labored under some disadvan-
ta@c physically, he made a telling
speech, which was well received and
accomplished much good. Thanks to
Brother Parker. After the speaking
We proceeded to organize a county
Alliance, putting at the head M. @.
''upton for President, and H. T.
Edgcrton for County Lecturer, and,
ln fact, all the officers of this county
Alliance, some of whose names we
cannot now recall, are typical North
'or"Iinians, and we predict for
FRANKLIN County Alliance success
with all the word means.
We wish time and space would al
low us to speak about all the kind
Hess shown us by u good friends
w. y. Fuller, DR., Malvan, E. Jones,
a"d many of the good people of
L"ui~burg, and A. T. Wilson, Bob
cooper, w. n. White, B. F. Wilder,
H. ). Foster, NJ. G. Gupton and
thomas ID. Farrer, and many others.
Let me say to all these and their
I'"d wives and families, you have
"lN profoundest gratitude ana best
wishes for a long and prosperous
lfc.
