ANTLERED HERD
OWNS THE CITY
Cincinnati Is Generous in
It's Entertainment of the
Grand Lodge of Elks
BATTLE OF FIREWORKS
Magnificent Scene Is Viewed
by Excursion Parties on
the Ohio River at Night

CINCINNATI, July 1s.-The regis
tration for the meeting Of the Grand
Lodge and the reunion Of the Elks ex-
ceeded 5000 tonight, while all the
railways were bringing in special
trains and expecting their greatest
crush tomorrow.
The grand opening tonight consisted
Of fireworks on both sides Of the Ohio
river. Two large steamboats, were
chartered. The one used for members
Of the Grand Lodge and their families
and friends carried 1000, and the one
for members Of the press and others
had 1000 persons aboard
As the steamboats, returned from a
cruise TO Coney Island the twelve Ken
lucky suburbs and the river front Of
Cincinnati and its Ohio suburbs riv-
aled one another in a display that
really assumed the proportions Of a bat
tie Of fireworks. The lighthouses OF
various clubs were equipped as bat
tleships along the shores, and the
wharf boats were arranged in similar
form, presenting q magnificent naval
display in action as the fireworks were
operated. This great exhibition closed
with a huge Illuminated picture Of
Grand Exalted Ruler Tanning at the
Cincinnati public landing. It is esti-
mated that more than 100, 900 persons
witnessed the scenes along both banks
OF the Ohio. after which various enter
tainments were given.
The Grand Lodge will open with a
public session at 10 o'clock tomorrow
in the Music Hall, preceded by an
organ recital and other musical num-
bers. Following the address of well
come and responses, the annual re-
ports viii be presented and the election
OF officers will end the animated con-
tests that were going on tonight for
grand exalted ruler, grand exalted
secretary and other offices. While
there have been no material changes
during the day, a very hard fight is
being made by the field against what
is known as the administration slate
O'Brien Of Baltimore. for grand ex-
alted ruler. and Robinson Of Dubuque,
for grand exalted secretary, are still
favorites as the so-called administra-
tion candidates, but the election of no
one seems TO be assured.

O GOOD SEEDS.

The successful planter owes his
success mainly to sowing good, fresh
seed. He knows the value of buying
the homegrown product direct from
the reliable grower.
The w~ell-known seedmen, James
j. II. Gregory & Son, of Marblehead,
Mass, have for nearly half a cen
fury sustained the reputation among
planters, farmers and gardeners
throughout the country of producing
and selling only fresh, pure and re-
liable seed; a reputation founded not
merely upon growth, selection and
al of the seed stock, but also on the
purity and thorough reliability of
the seed raised from it. These ia
nous seeds are sold under three
guarantees, which proves the SINGER
ity of the growers while they insure
safety to the planter.
Messrs. Gregory & Son are sending
out their annual catalogue for 1904,
which contains many new improved
varieties in vegetables, small fruits
and flowers, and a vast number of
farm and garden facts, which should
be of great utility to every one who
plants seed. This valuable book will
be sent free for the asking.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-01-05
Farmers Should Organize.

The members of the E~dgecombe
Farmers Alliance have passed a res
oIutlon agreeing not to sell cotton
seed for less than Is cents per bush
ell. This is one step in the right di-
rection. Since it is evident that the
purchasers of cotton seed have re-
duced the price which they are pay
ing for them and assigned as their
reason, reduced price of cotton-seed
oil, failing to take into considera-
ton the fact that there has been no
reduction In cotton-seed meal or
hulls. Of course, if the prices of
these two products are maintained,
the reduction in prices paid for seed,
should by nc means be so great. The
greatest benefit, however, to be de-
rived from this action is not expect
ed from the increased returns which
will be obtained from seed sold,
farmers through this country having
reached the point where there is no
necessity for selling their seed, but
that the experiment will result in es-
tablishing the fact that effective or
]ganization of this class will enable
them to control their products to a
very large extent. If the result in
this case will impress them with this
idea and secure a more perfect or
g~anization among them, say a revival
of the Farmers Alliance without it's
political feature, it will have accom-
plished a work for the betterment of
the agricultural classes which has
never before been equalled. There
is, no doubt, that such an ~organiza-
ton ear, be effected, but the difficulty
lies in convincing the people that
such is true, and until they do be-
lieve it, until they take active steps
in this direction, there can be but
little improvement hoped for in their
condition.-Lumberton Robcsonian.

(Atlanta Constitution Nov. 2, 1902
There is no such word as luck in

while sagacity rules the movements
of those who get the most out of life

to establish their enterprise here at
Charlotte, and it hasn't been luck
that has attended their efforts and
seer the business tcnfold greater the

not want, or know nothing about, are
transported at enormous cost to the

was intended for the benefit of those
