The Cedar Rapids Republican goes a
long way to hunt trouble. 1t expresses
the hope that people will soon adopt
cremation in preference to burying the
dead in the ground, which, it declares,
is as uncivilized as "burying UP in
trees as the Indians did," While it Is
to be admitted that to bury up" in the
top of tree may not be very pleasant,
it doesn't seem like it is worth while
to worry. What's the use of dying at
all? Then there's no need for worry
about what will become of the re-
mains. Anyway, what's the good of
thinking about it and brooding over it?

i. Mecklenburg.

Messrs. Editors The regular
quarterly meeting of Mecklenburg
County Farmers Alliance was held
at Derita Thursday April, 18th. Ow-
ing to the very busy season, the at
tendance was not as large as would
have been expected at a more leisure
time. However, goodly number
were present, and all were enthusi-
astic over the prospect for a good
strong organization in the near fu-
ture. Derita Sub received us with
open arms, and would not allow us
to depart until we promised to meet
with them again at our next quar-
terly meeting. which will be on Fri
day, July 28th.

Messrs. Editors The Chatham
County Alliance was held with Loves
Greek Sub on Thursday, April 18th.
The meeting was well attended by
delegates from the various Sub Alli-
ance who reported steady growth
of the Alliance throughout the coun-
ty. Interest in the organization of
the farmers is steadily growing in
Chatham, and we are looking for
ward to a great Alliance revival in
our midst.
We had the pleasure of having
Bro. J. III. Currie, of Cumberland
County, to address us on the prin-
ciples and benefits of organization
and the upbuilding of the agricultu-
raj interests of the State. His speech
was strong and forceful and will do
a great deal of good. Our people
were very much pleased and benefited
by the address of Brother Currie,
and hope to have him with us again.
The day was srent proftably and will
insure to the benefit of the Alliance
in Chatham.
However, We were saddened at not
having with us our former beloved
president, r. E. Webster, who has
passed away from earth since our
last county melting. Bros. B. W.
Bobbitt, j. A. Walters, T. j. Dark,
w. b. Dorsett and Henry Buckner
were appointed a committee to draft
suitable resolutions of respect for
our deceased brother.

able member, has gone to his re-

Elm EDeEcoMBE COUNTY.
State Lecturer Gates Describes a Trip
Made in the Interest of the Farmers
Alliance-To Wayne County Next.

Messrs. Editors On the 10th IN
stant your correspondent was met
in Rocky Mount, Edgecombe County,
by Hon. E. Daughtridge and car
ried out to his splendid home about
two miles east of Rocky Mount.
Here we spent the night, and the
next morning Mr.. Daughtrldge turn
ed over to us the old gray horse,
'King George" and rubber-tired
buggy and we started out to talk
and work in the interest of our be-
loved Order, the Farmers Alliance.
We found the farmers extremely busy
planting corn and cotton. And
here we will say that as rule we
hardly think these farmers are cut
ting their cotton crop as much as
most of the other cotton counties.
We would judge the cut here to be
about Is per cent.
We visited the following Sub ALI
ances: Whitaker, Battleboro, Leg
gets, Lawrence and Fork Creek.
Fairly good crowds attended all these
places and much interest was shown
in the work. In fact, there was a
general revival among the old mem
bers, and some sixty odd new mem
bers were added to the county roll,
and it is a notable fact that Edge
combe County Farmers Alliance
numbers in her Councils great num-
bers of her biggest and brainest men.
On Thursday, the 18th instant, the
County Alliance met at the beautiful
home of DR.. r. H Speight, the
guests of the Whitaker Sub Alliance.
was called to order by the president,
DR.. SDeight, In his own unassuming,
modest way; and when the roll was
called every Sub in the county was
there save one, and this was on ac-
count of high-water After an hour
or more was spent in the tranaction
of business pertaining to the farm
ers' interest. the Alliance adjourned
for dinner. Well, Mr.. Editor, wish
YOU could have been there. There
was less than five thousand fed and
more than twelve baskets of frag-
ments left. After dinner was over,
there was a general mixing-up of
the people; all seemed to enjoy the
hour. The State Lecturer was called
upon and responded in his own pc
culiar way to encourage the thorough
organization of the farmers, and
tried to show how uplifting and pc
culiar fitting occasions like this are
to the farmers, etc.
The Alliance adjourned to meet at
the residence of Hon. L. E. Daught-
rid~~ on the second Thursday in
July as the guest of the Juvenile Sub
Alliance. and / predict a great crowd
there that day.
We visited the homes of J. c..
Marks, James M. Johnston, B. F.
Shelton. Frank Savage, Brit Howell.
M. G. Daniel, and many others, whose
names we have forgotten for the
time being, all of whom have our sin
cerest love and gratitude, and we will
ever remember the hospitality of
these people. The gentleness of the
ladies, and the gallantry of her men,
ares omething fine.
On Friday, the 21st instant, Bro.
B. F. Shelton, of Fork Creek Sub,
hitched his best horse to one of Bah
cocks best buggies and brought us
over to the historic old town of Tar
boro. Brother Shelton is one of the
most progressive men in Edgecombe
County. He is simply getting rich
farming. and the secret of it is, he
raises all his supplies-corn. hay.

CROP CONDITIONS.

Crop conditions are summarized as
follows in the weekly crop bulletin OF
the Weather Bureau:
TEN peratures favorable for the ma
turing of crops prevailed in all dis
tricts east of the Rocky Mountains
during the week ending September 4,
except in the northern portions of the
Upper Missouri and Upper MISSISSIPPI
pi Valleys and in Northern New Eng
land, where it was somewhat too cool.
Scattered light trosts, causing slight
damage, occurred in the Central and
Northern Rocky Mountain districts
and in the Upper Missouri Valley
during the latter part of the week.
The greater part of Texas, portions Of
Kansas and Missouri and the North
Pacific Coast continue to need rain.
Under highly favorable tempera-
lures corn has advanced rapidly.
Much Of the early crop over the south
ern portion of The corn belt is being
cut, and cutting will begin in Iowa
this week. The condition of the crop
continues excellent generally through
out the corn belt.
Considerable overripe spring wheat
remains uncut on flood lowlands in
Northern Minnesota and Eastern
North Dakota and moisture has injur-
ed grain in shock in portions Of South
Dakota and Iowa. Thrashing is gen
orally well advanced, but was inter
rupted by rains about the middle of
the week. On the North Pacific
Coast high winds caused injury to
standing grain in Washington, but
otherwise the weather was favorable
tor harvesting and thrashlng.
Much tobacco in the OHIO Valley
and Middle Atlantic States has been
housed and the remainder is maturing
rapidly. A good crop is generally
reported, especially in the northern
part of the Middle Atlantic States and
in New England.

THE PEACE TREATY SIGNED

With the signing of the peace
treaty Tuesday at Portsmouth, n. H.,
the Russian and japanese plenipotcn-
tiaries brought to successful close
the conference which they held on the
initiative of President Roosevelt.
But for the wisdom of the Emperor OF
Japan in abandoning his Governments
demand for indemnity the negotiations
would have been a failure and the
Russian and japanese armies would
be fighting another battle more de-
structive of human life than any pre-
vious battle of the war. Happily, hui
manity has been spared this horror.
The world will not withhold its admi-
ration from the Japanese sovereign,
who, in the face of opposition by many
of his subjects, decided that Japan
should not be placed in the position OF
fighting for blood money The Jap
anese could we'll afford to call off the
dogsof. war without further carnage.
They had won glory enough and the
world was sick of the conflict.
While one more formality remains
the ratification of the treaty by the
Car and the Mikado-the work of
the plenipotentiaries is finished and
the conference is but memory. The
determination of the Russian and
japanese ENJOYS at the reception
given by the latter was pleasing
climax after the apparently strained
relations between the plenipotentiar-
iessWhile the conference was in pro-
gress. It may be hoped that it was
an augury of the future relations be-
tween the great Western power and
the puissant island empire OF the
East. Each nation needs a long
peace to work out the problems which
have been created by this unhappy
war. Each ought .oshave a greater
respect for the other than it ever had
before: japan realizes that Russia 9
might and resources, although used to
poor advantage in this conflict, make
her practically unconquerable, and
that no nation which lacks long
purse can strike at Russia's vitals.
Russia has learned that to uEderesti-
mate the vaor and efficiency of an
enemy is a blunder worse than a
crime; also, that a dishonest bureau
cracy and incompetent generals can
not win victories.
The peace ENJOYS will carry away
with them gratifying impressions of
the greatness of the American Reput-
lie which is great largely because
its energies are devoted To winning
the victories of peace-the republic
