Nash County Alliance.

In his letter in another column,
Lecturer Gates has reported the
work of himself and Secretary
Parker up to the Wilson County
meeting. From that place Brother
Parker went to Elm Grove in Nash
County, that being the occasion of
the county meeting in Nash. He re-
ports the brethren there very much
elated over the prospects for a large
increase in the membership of the
Alliance. Four subs have been cor
ganized since the last county meet
ing and steps were taken to reorgan-
ize others.
eff all the counties in the State
would go to work Systematically as
these eastern counties have done,
and are going to do" says Brother
Parker, "the Alliance would soon be
a mighty force in encouraging and
strengthening the farmers of the
State. Let US all work together with
this end in view, so that at the next
State meeting there will be twice as
many counties represented as were
at the last State meeting"

they all said, Hurrah for Parker and

was an old-time basket one, served

anything ever yet seen by this

son county people!
Our purpose is to stay here a few
days and strengthen the work, and
then go to the mountain home and
rest under the shade a few days, and
on the 7th day of November, 1908,
meet another great gathering of
Martin County people in Robertson
vile, and before I leave Martin
County I shall expect to be able to
make the same good report of our
work there.

A copy of the pamphlet "Princi-
pies of Profitable Farming" is before
US in a new and revised edition.
The principles of proper rotation
with leguminous crops and the great
advantages to be derived by such
methods are explained in the pam
phlet in a fascinating manner. A
description of the Experiment Farm
at Southern Pines, n. c., where the
best methods of using fertilizers are
being studied and put into practice,
is a lso a valuable feature of this
publication.
A thorough perusal of the book
would be of interest and benefit to all
practical farmers and copies can be
had, free of charge, by writing to

Highly Successful Alliance Work in
Edgecombe and Wilson Counties.

Taking up the work in E~dgecombe
from my last report, I beg to say
on Monday, the 28th of September,
I met a number of farmers at Whit
aker, and succeeded in getting a Sub
Alliance there to be proud of, espe-
cially in point of quality. Bro. L. b.
Parker joined me again here.
We went from here to DIR. r. ID.
Speight's, who, by the way, is n of
the most beloved and up-to-date ply
sicians in the county. The Doctor
has an ideal home. His mansion
house, barns and out houses, his cat
tie, his lands, his abundant crops,
his cheerful and cultured family, and
all his surroundings indicate peace,
happiness and prosperity. We
joyed our stop over here Intensely.
From here we went to Leggetts,
L~aurences, Coakleys, Cocoa, Sparta,
Offers Greek, St. Lewis, Temper
ance Hall, Conetoe, and B~attlebOro,
and at all these places we succeeded
in organizing good strong Sub Al
liances, and on Tuesday, the 18th
inst, we met a great number of great
men in a great court house in one
of the best counties of the Old North
State, and Brother Parker made a
great speech, and Edgecombe took
her place in the North Carolina
State Farmers Alliance. These are
the officers: DR.. r. II. Speight,
President; E. L. Daughtridge, Vice
President; r. G. Hart, Secretary
and Treasurer; w. g. Turner, Chap

are among the best and most pro-

that matter. These good people have
a warm place in my heart. B. B.

ENtortion that would make some of Tammany's 'graftcrs" wince and cry quiz was told about by George Ken nan. in speaking Of Asiatic Russia at the meeting Of the Quili club held rc- gently. That his remarks touched home was shown by the enthusiasm manifested by the audience.
 -- "A case came to my notice in a will lage where great deal O., wheat was raised" he said "The peasants there had been selling the wheat to d middle man. who transported it down t1 the river to the city aat large profit. The peasants determined to ship their own wheat, and bought several barges to do it. The middleman went to the chief of police when he heard of the plan of the peasants. and arranged with him a scheme t5 stop the peasants from going further than thirty miles from their homes. and thus prevent their transporting their own crops. This was done by the chief of police stating to the peasants that he had received orders from the government not to allow any enc to leave with out an order on special blank. It vas easy to say that the blanks had not arrived and, Urtil late in the fall. the peasants were obliged to sell their wheat 10 the middieman to get rid of it before the river closed.

HOW TO CHECK A SPREE
Quick Application of Food Will De-
 stroy Craving for Drink

A matter that cannot be too sharply impressing upon the minds of the large and increasing class of men who have the habit of going off on periodical sprees." said a Washington physician, who has had an unusually extensive experience in the treatment of alcohol ism. "is that d periodical drinker. or dipsomaniac. rarely if ever has any de- sire to take the disastrous first drink
 when he has food in his stomach It is the hungry 'periodical,' as we call them, who yields to the over mastering desire to absorb that bad first drink. and thus finds himself embarked upon
 the big spree. The advice that I in variably give to my dipsomaniac pa
 tients-and ] grieve to say that there are many of that type in Washington is to rush to the nearest eating place.
 when they feel that overwhelming craving for a strong drink attacking
 them. and partake of any sort of food
 that is the most quickly prepared. A
 bowl of milk and crackers will serve as well as any thing else. It is not only
 the partaking of the food but it is the
 time for deliberation which the action gives them-the time to think over the
 trouble and bedevilment they will in eVitably fall into in case they yield to
 the inclination to take the first drink. And when the dipsOmaniac walks out of the eating place with normal nour-
 ishment in his stomach. the abnormal
 desire for strong drink has disappeared it is only the hard, daily drinkers who
 can even think, without nausea. of
 drinking liquor on full stomach, and l am not speaking of that class.
 "A great many of the dipsomaniacs l have treated have been government men. who after comparatively light breakfasts, still lighter luncheons, and close application to their work all day, have started for their homes. hungry, nervous. Jagged out. At the time when they are due for their periodical spree. this state is dangerous for them. They are not in shape to fight the longing which strikes them for that just one good, big hoOter, and then home'-alas,
 they never get home after that one big hooteri number of government men, subject to these conditions. who

 rush for the dairy lunch rooms immedi- ately after leaving their offices at 1 o'clock, drink a couple of glasses of milk in quick succession. with perhaps a sandwich-and then they walk out all right. take their car. and go home without having absorbed that evil drink No. l. The edge may be taken
 off their appetite for dinner. but they have saved themselves from the mis- cry of another spree-and how glad they feel over it when they find them selves safely tucked in their beds with clear heads, clean mouths, a long sleep ahead of them-and an awakening with a joyful morning heart-not a dismal devil-racked head, Food is the enemy of drink in the dipsomaniac's case. and | it wouldn't hurt any for the Post to recite that fact for the benefit of the unfortunates who haven't yet learned il.
