ing the cold, snowy weather, Halifax
County has six strong, healthy Sub
Alliances, and will soon have as many
more. l found the farmers, with few
exceptions of one mind, realizing
since every other class is organized,
it is time for them to act for them
selves. Self-preservation is n of
the first laws of old mother nature.
And best of all, we have learned
that we are not fighting against any
other class. We want the railroads,
the bankers, the manufacturers. We
rejoice to see them develop the re-
sources of the grand old Common
wealth. We would not throw a peb-
BILE in their way.
But if organization pays them,
and made it possible for them to
grow to such immense promotions,
why would not the same thing apply
to the more than sixteen hundred
thousands honest ~tillers of North
Carolina soil? They never could have
reached these heights had it not been
for well-formulated and wisely-di-
rected plans, and the keynote to it
all was-they had their heads to-
gether.
l have been told that the wild
horses of the West when they come
to their camping ground to spend the
night, stand in a ring, heels out,
heads together, so that if an enemy
approaches, each defending his or
her part of the line. Ought we not
to be as wise?
Head together, boys, heads to-
gether. II. M. GATES.

his best. He made one of those
speeches for which he is famous the
country over. In wit and humor, sound
sense and unanswerable logic, keen
satire and invective, it was a speech
the like of which is seldom heard.
Unless The Record had space to re-
port it verbatim it would seem an
injustice to attempt to outline it. At
the head of the column we give some
of his pungent epigrams that made
the large crowd laugh and cheer. He
reviewed the principles of the two
parties, founded by Hamilton and
Jefferson, and showed how these
same principles today separate the
parties. He took up the tariff ques-
ton and showed the folly of protec-
tionism, and how out Of the system
have grown the great trusts. He
ridiculed Roosevelt as a trust buster.
and begged some Republican who
might be present to name just one
trust that Roosevelt had busted"
but of the many Republicans present
