The South Carolina Alliance.

Messrs. Editors: We held our reg
ular State Alliance meeting the 26th
of July. A great deal of renewed
interest was manifested. Seven
counties were represented; and all
seemed to b. alive to the best inter
ests of our noble Order. We were
all much disappointed because
Brother Parker did not meet with US.
We have eight subs here in Lex
ington County; and they all seem to
be in good working order. Our reg
ular county meeting was held July
18th, with a good delegation pres
ent. We expect to put an organizer
in the field this fall. So you see we
are living yet.
You can talk about the Farmers
Alliance all you want to, but it has
done more to educate the farmers
than any other Order ever organized.
I hope to see our whole country or
ganized in the early future, and the
farmers marching forward, realiz-
ing their noble calling and receive
their just reward, for verify the
farmer feeds and clothes the world.
With best wishes for you and your
many readers, / am,

Whiskey-Frauds Inquiry.

The Department of Justice has
two special agents in the Western
North Carolina district Investigate
ing rumors of wholesale violations
of the revenue laws and collusion
with blockaders on the part of rev.
enue officials.
Mr.. Holton admits that the two
detectives have been in Wilkes
County for several weeks. They have
secured evidence which promises
sensational developments when it is
made public in the Federal courts.
News comes from Wilkes that the
agents have discovered that a terri
bic state of affairs exists in that
county, and that a shake-up in rev.
enue circles is promised, besides
many indictments against both
blockaders and officeholders. The
editor of the Wilkesboro Chronicle
a few months ago published serious
charges against certain revenue Of
fcers, for which he was assaulted
and beaten by an officer for refus-
ing to give the name of his infor-
mant 1t is talked now that these
special agents have evidence which
corroborates some of the statements
published by Editor Deal.

Poor Crops Most Important Factor in
Cotton Reduction.

MesSrs. Editors Il can say with
out any doubt whatever that the re-
port on the acreage reduction of
this country has been greatly exag-
gerated, as I have noticed the gen
eral farming. Of course I find some
of the neople have reduced their
acreage, but where one farm of cot
ton is cut down in one place, / notice
IN another that there has been a con-
siderable amount of land cleared up
that was a pine thicket last year,
but this year it is planted in cotton.
SO what little reduction has been
made in the cotton acreage is made
up IN cleared ground. and, after all,
we lind that the whole crop of our
country has not been reduced per
cent. But thanks to the good Lord,
de has tak ken hand in reducing the
acreage. He sent us a long rain on
our crops which damaged them con-
slderably, and after the rain, sent
US a several days drouth up to this
writing, which we think is damaoing
the crops also. And in June Provi-

wave wind which continued to blow
Tor at least twenty-four hours, and
We know that it stopped the cotton
from growing for a few days. or a
week. And after all, we think that
we will do well to make a half crop
Of cotton this year. There is Mr..
Harvle Jordan who is President of
the Cotton Association-he did all
IN his power to get the farmers to
reduce the acreage in cotton this
year, but the most of them around
mere paid no attention to him.
IN conclusion. would like to say
mat there is no newspaper published
anywhere d that / like better than The
progressive Farmer. It has given
more space in its columns for the

Robson County Alliance Wants Far

Messrs. Editors :-Robeson County
Farmers Alliance held its regular
meeting with Raft Swamp Sub at
Raft Swamp on July 18th. The au-
dience was not very large, as the
day was a very rainy one, but those
present seemed to be very cheerful
and determined in the Alliance work.
Several points of interest to the AL
lance and to our farmers at large
were discussed. but the most import
ant perhaps, financially, was that of
manufacturing guano.
After some facts and figures were
shown by some of our best informed
members. our delegate to the State
Alliance was instructed to use his
influence for the establishment of a
guano factory to be operated in the
interest of the farmers of this State.

WON BY AN IOWA MAN.

The Grand American Handicap at
flying targets, the most important
trap shooting event of the year,
which was held at Indianapolis, June
2730, was won by r. r. Barber, an
amateur, of Paullina, Iowa, with
Winchester Factory Loaded Shells,
his score being SO out of 100. There
were 335 entries in the event, includ-
ing the best amateur and profession
al shots in America. The Prelimi-
nary Handicap and the Amateur and
Professional High Averages for the
tournament were won by shooters US

Payne Bill is Reported

The favorable report of the ways
and means committee on the Payne
Philippine tariff bill brought to light
new facts which were not presented to
the committee at the last session.
The most important testimony, the
report states, was that which showed
higher cost in the production Of
Philippine sugar than was shown last
year. AT present the cost of raw
sugar delivered at Iloilo or Manila is
at least IL cents pound, not con-
sidering the depreciation of sugar
machinery nor the interest on money
invested. The insurance and freight
are three-tenths of cent a pound and
the duties and cost Of refining bring
the total cost up to 3 $40 cents a pound
in New York for refined sugar.

OLD STARVATION DAYS

(Air: Tramp, Tramp, Tramp. the
Boys Are Marchingv9
Have you heard the old folks tell
Of the sorrow which befelI
All the poor who dwelt within this
happy land?
When the corn and bread were dear,
With starvation ever near,
You could hear the poor folks cry on
ev'ry hand.
Starve, starve starye, for bread is
rising,
Up, up, up, the price goes high;
You must curb your appetite,
Hungry go from morn till night,
Never heed the starving little chill
dren's cry.
Then uprose Sir Robert Peel,
For the people he could feel,
Well he knew OF their great suff'ring
and distress;
Corn was let in duty free
From the lands across the sea,
And their sorrow soon was turned TO
happiness.
Eat, eat, eat, for bread is cheaper,
Down, down, down. the price soon
goes;
And the people happier grew,
Just because Sir Robert knew
That cheap bread would drive away
just half their woes.
Don't bring back the days Of old,
List not to the charmer bold,
Who would put duty on imported
corn,
Up the price of bread will go.
Soon the difference you will know
You will only cause the very poor to
mourn.
Down, down with the cry Protection,
Fly the Free Trade banner high;
Let the ships come free each morn,
With their freight of golden corn,
For without cheap food the poor will
surely die.
Would you dare bring back again
Days Of hunger and of pain
voorhees, days, with dearer food and
curses deep?
Do you want to hear the cry,
In the cold, bare garnet high,
Of the starving children crying in
their sleep?
Starve, starve, starve, for bread is
rising
Up, up, up, the price goes high;
You must curb your appetite.
Hungry go from morn till night.
Never heed the starving little chill
dren's cry.

IN HALLS OF CONGRESS
SENATE LOOKING FOR FIGHT
WITH THE PRESIDENT
Panama Canal Appointments ED Up
On Ground That Shonts Has Two
Jobs-some Senators Afraid to Bat
tie in the Open


Congress adjourned last Saturday
for the holiday recess. Members have
scattered to their homes generally,
but they seem to have left behind
them a flavor, which is as unmistaka-
BILE as it is unexpected Of growing
antagonism between the legislative
and executive branches of the govern
ment.
In executive session the senate by
a unanimous vote sent back to the
president the nominations of six Pan
anna canal commissioners which had
previously been confirmed. The sem
ate had before it at the time the NOM
ination of John Bucklin Bishop for
commissioner Only by a unanimous
vote could the combinations of these
nominations have been rescinded.
This action of the senate means that
every salary paid and every detail of
Panama canal expenditures is to be
investigated by that organization
Easy Avenue Of Attack
The Panama canal has been an easy
avenue of attack and it is being util-
lied by men who would not like to
come out in the open and criticise the
president for the independence of his
executive action. ALI the nominations
for members of the Panama canal conn
mission are now up In the air. With
the exception of the name of Mr..
Bishop the commissioners were all
legally confirmed by the senate, and
the chances are ii any question came
up about their action the courts would
sustain them in their placer. They
were confirmed by the exercise OF
some of the slipshod methods of the
senate.
Similar combinations are made
every day, but are not objected to
because nothing is at stake.
President conciIiatory
AT the close of the executive session
Friday, when the senate reconsidered
the nominations of canal commits
sioners on the ground that they had
not been regularly reported from the
committee, it was decided to send to
the White House and ask for return
of the certificate of confirmation OF
Chairman Shonts and other members
of the commission. Under the rules

Cost Of Refined Sugar

The report states that the cost OF
refined beet sugar is said to be 3h
cents pound in Colorado and 4 cents
a pound in Michigan and that there
fore the cost OF Philippine sugar is
not as much lower as opponents Of
tariff reduction have stated.
Mention is made OF the slight OPP
position by American interests to the
reduction on tobacco, and the report
says that even Philippine tobacco men
are not enthusiastic over the reduction
because they feel it will result in in
creased wages for tobacco workers.
American Wrappers Liked
The report also says American
cigar wrappers seem likely to find a
good market in the islands, as the
Philippine wrappers are far inferior
to- the American product.
Because Of the diseased condition of
the animals and inferiority of ma
chinery and agricultural methods no
great increase in the production of
sugar and tobacco is possible, the re-
port says, and Americans have nothing
to fear from the passage of the bill,
which will be OF great assistance to
the islands.
The bill admits all Philippine pro-
ducts into the United States free ex-
cepting sugar and tobacco, which are
to pay rs per cent of the Dingley rates
until 1909, when they also are to go
on the free list.
