COUNTY ALLIANCE MEETINGS.
I.-Edgecombe County Alliance Urges
Action to Prevent Too Rapid Market
ing of Cotton.
Editors Progressive Farmer

thursday at Mobiles Mill, the
Edgecombe County Alliance held
n of it's best and largest meetings
since its reorganization in this
county. There were probably more
than 100 people in attendance. The
business session was one of unusual
interest and much enthusiasm mani
tested by the members. The follow
ing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved, That Edgecombe Coun-
ty Alliance earnestly g the State
Farmers Alliance to take such ac-
ton with respect to the cotton situa-
ton as will enable the farmers of
this State to market their cotton
crop in an orderly and systematic
manne to the end that the best
prices may be obtained for the
product. And we further urge that
the State Alliance invite the cooper
alton of all farmers organizations
in the South in this matter, which so
vitality concerns their welfare, as it
is very necessary to prevent the pro-
ducers of the South's most valuable
staple product from rushing the
same into market, thereby enabling
the spectators to lower the price"
Another resolution was adopted as
follows:
Whereas, the convict labor of the
State has for years been employed
in conflict with the agricultural in
terests in the production of cotton
ara other products, therefore be it
"Resolved, That the Edgecombe
County Alliance urges the members
from this county of the General As
sembly to formulate some plan or
method whereby the State convicts
may be employed in the manufacture
of commercial fertilizers to the end
that all farmers may be benefited
thereby.
"2. That the North Carolina State
Alliance at its annual meeting be
requested to unite with our County
Alliance in its efforts to secure ac-
ton thereon by the next General As
sembly.
%. That The Progressive Farmer
and all other papers friendly to the
cause be requested to publish these
resolutions, so as to bring the mat
ter prominently before the people"
A resolution was also adopted re-
questing the members of the General
Assembly from this county to sup
port a bill for the repeal of the crop
lien law.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: DR.. r. III.
Speight, President; l.. B. Knight.

Among the old year watches kept.
PROBABLY as hilarious time as any
enjoyed, was the surprise upon Mrs.
w. w. Doolittle. planned and carried
out by the odd crowd" at the Doolit;le
home. Mr.. Doolittle had prepared the
lunch at the pickle factory. OF course
there were pickles in every variety,
served in original packages; wlonies
hot; German lunch sandwiches. cider
pumped by vinegar pump, from a
factory cask. and served in mustard
stems; refreshments from Fabst
bottle, labeled cream; and ice cream
served with mustard premium spoons
There was considerable dispute as to
the numerical standing of the anniver-
sary, Mrs. Doolittle insisting upon one
figure and her father. Mr. William
Pentland, equally sure that she had
put her estimate many years too low.
He reckons from the date of his mar
rage and as Mrs. Doolittle was his
first born, he insists that he ought to
know.
