Only two more issues of The News
before the election, and we desire to
urge upon our people the import OF
the election to them particularly.
While Mississippi is safe for the dem
oorats, we should give the ticket a full
and hearty support. Every one should
see to it that there be no lagRards.
Let every man go to the polls and
discharge his obligations to the party
and to his country Parker and Da-
Wis electors and John Sharp Williams
should have every vote in the county.

Several hundred life preservers,
sold to the United States government
by firm in Camden, N. j., have
been found to contain an iron bolt six
inches long in each, concealed within
the compressed cork block This, of
course, because iron is good deal
cheaper than cork by the pound.
Avarice seems to have touched bottom
in such tampering with human life
and there ought to be law providing
that such miscreants should be hanged

ADDRESS FROM CHAIRMAN
HENRY.

Headquarters Democratic Executive
Committee, Brandon, Oct 20-To the
Voters of Rankin County:
The near approach Of the general
election impels me to once again urge
upon the voters the importance of a
full vote. On November you will
be called upon to elect presidential
electors and a congressman. It is
right that every voter should turn out
on that day, and help get out the
strength Of the county, SO as to poll
our entire vote. Think of the STAKE
for which we are playing; constitu-
tional rights and liberty against Roos-
eveltism, imperialism, and the vile
usurpations Of the republican party.
Everything suggeste active and ener-
getic reputation Of Roosevelt and his
high handed methods As chairman
of the democratic committee, beg
You to do now, ere it is forever too
late; go early to the polls, take your
neighbor. and stay until every vote
is polled. Relieve your candidate
for congress Of the embarrassment in
cid6nt to light vote. Hon. John
Sharp Williams, as the recognized
leader Of the party in congress. should
have your full support; every man
should make this his business, for
it is your business, and its impor-
tance should appeal directly to you.
Show to the country that you. honor

The Alliance Still Active and Increasing
in Membership.

-. 11OWdIu, VI 1GCIIIGIG, 1lODSSOu
County, last week stated they would
reorganize the Alliance at that place
last Saturday. That is but a sample
of the many letters / am getting
from different sections of the State.
The interest in the Alliance seems
to be continually increasing and AL
liances are being organized every
week. A letter just received from
Mr.. T. Ivey, states they will reor-
ganize at Cary this week. He writes
they already have the names of many
of the very best farmers of the COM
munity who have expressed a desire
to reorganize, and expect to add
many more at the public meeting
they will hold Saturday.
A letter received this morning
from Brother Gates, who is now in
Chatham, states that he is meeting
with his usual success, and that many
are being added to the Alliance in
that county. He spent last week in
that county and will remain there
during this week. Chatham will I'M
0~oubtedly be in fine shape when he
has finished his work there. He will
then spend a short time at work in
Alamance.
1t was my pleasure to be with the
brethren of White Oak Alliance, near
Apex on Saturday, the 10Th. The
brethren of the neighborhood had
met two weeks before and effected
an organization with IA mmebers.
At their meeting, a week later they
added II more, and last Saturday Is
additional names were handed in,
making a membership of 40 in just
two weeks after the first meeting.
Bro. w. B. Upchurch says they will
number 100 in a short time. They
are to meet Thursday night of this
week to arrange for the purchase of
fertilizers. The Alliance will buy as
a body, and the indications now point
to a big saving to them. They will
buy from Is to $50 tons, so Brother
Upchurch states, and mostly for
cash. Any one can easily foresee
that an order the size of that, and
mostly for cash, will bring out COM
petition and low prices.
That Alliance is situated in one Of
the finest tobacco producing dis
tricts it has ever been my privilege
to visit. The prevailing low prices
of tobacco does not affect them to
any considerable extent as they raise
mostly fine wrappers, and there is
not the competition in that grade or
class of tobacco that there is in the
lower grades.
| found the people up there very
enthusiastic as to the outlook of the
Alliance.
Let the farmers all over the State
continue to agitate organization and
this year will witness a revival of
the Alliance such as has not been in
years.
| have not the space nor the time
to write about the many sections of
