Warren Alliancemen Would Reduce
Acreage of Cotton and Tobacco.

Messrs. Editors: Warren County
Alliance met on January IA, 1905, in
the High School Academy in War
renton.
The day was very cold, yet many
of the brethren rode ten and fifteen
miles over frozen roads to be pres
ent. The meeting was harmonious,
and many subjects of interest to the
Alliance were discussed. Among 9th
er things done the following reso-
buttons were unanimously adopted:
"The members of Warren County
Alliance in session January IA, 1905,
hereby unanimously resolve to hold
their cotton and to use their in
fuence with neighbors and friends
to do the same until a reasonable
profit on production can be obtained.
2. We also recommend that the 1905
crop be reduced 25 per cent by all
who planted more than ten acres. We
heartily approve the efforts of the
Cotton Association to unite the
farmers in every cotton State to hold
the cotton on hand and reduce the
1905 crop not less than Is per cent.
3. We further recommend that
the farmers go slow in an increase
of their tobacco crop"

I'm robson AND JOHNSTON
COUNTIES.
State Lecturer Gates Tells of a Tour
Made for the Farmers Alliance and
the Splendid People He Met.

Messrs. Editors: On Tuesday, Jan
uary 2Sth, your correspondent landed
in the growing little town of Micro,
Johnston County land almost the first
one We saw was our old tried and
rue friend, Ransom Baton. with a
nice horse and buggy who drove us
out to the beautiful and happy home
of Roy Baton.
The next two weeks was spent GO
ing about from place to place organ
izing and recognizing the farmers.
Considering the extreme rough
weather, u success was simply
great. We visited many of the old
sub Alliances and at every single
place there was a general revival. At
Fork Creek, where they mad sixty
odd members, we took in sixteen
more, and everywhere we went the
numbers were increased. Johnston
County now has fifteen strong sub
Alliances with several more almost
organized.
Time and space and words would
fail us to tell about the good people
we met and the good time we had
while there. We think of w. A. T.
Durham, William Rains, w. r.
Creech, II. G. Williams, President
Crumpler, r. D.. Thompson and L. F.
Peedin; whom we have learned to
love so much.
And then on Saturday, January
14th, we met probably 100 of the
staunchest farmers in the historic
town of Smithfeld, and at u o'clock
the court house bell was rung and
the County Alliance assembled in the
court room. As we looked out on
that body of men, we could but feel
encouraged to press on in the good
work. Much business was transact
ed. The cotton situation was dis
cussed and all agreed to reduce
acreage 25 per cent, and hold pres
ent crop for 10 cents, trying next
year to raise more home supplies.
Landon Thompson, a worthy mem
Der of Fork Greek Sub Alliance, had
lost his house and most all his house

home of Hon. T. B. Pace, who is one
of the most active and enterprising
men at all, who showed us great
kindness in every way possible. 1t
was through his help hat we sue
ceeded in organizing a sub Alliance
at Maxton that same day, with 20
members. composed of the very best
of men. And then out to Branch
vile where we secured twenty-six
members. Here we spent the even
ing with our friend, Archie d. Nc
Lean, who, by the way, is rather
above the average man socially,
financially, and educationally.
On and on we went over old Robe
son County for two long weeks,
meeting C wherever we went.
At Raft Swamp where we had such
a big time last summer, we met
a large crowd Saturday night and
sixteen were added to the already
long list there. This is one of the
strongest sub Alliances in the county,
composed of cultured and pretty
young ladies and brave and gallant
young men. Here is one of the best
country schools to be found any

NEVER AGAIN SAYS M'CALL.
New York Lies Head to Quit Giving to
Campaign Funds.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Such an ava
lanche of protests mas poured in upon
the New York Life since President Nc
Call swore before the legislative COM
mittee that he contributed $15O,000 of
the policyholders' money to the re-
publican campaign, that the officers
are becoming disturbed. Under date
of September &c, Mr.. Mccall has sent
over his signature, to every agent of
the company circular, which says:
TT goes without saying that the
business of this company is not politics
under any guise. The contributions
made in the years in question had no
reference to politics. They were made
to meet a danger that arose in great
crisis in the economic development of
the country.
The contributions have been
called political by some people be-
cause they were made through po-
litical party They were made through
a political party solely because it was
not possible otherwise to reach the
danger that menaced our assets.
Now, as to the future: The gold
standard has been frrevocably
adopted. Therefore the question OF
similar contributions cannot arise
again during this or any subsequent
administrator of the New York Life.
However in order definitely to ex-
press and fix the company's position,
l shall ask the board of trustees at
its next regular meeting to pass a res
olution which will make it clear to
every policyhoIder and to the public
that the New York Life will never con-
tribute money to any political organi-
cation for any purpose whatever"

POTATO DIGGING WAS DELAYED
BY THE WET WEATHER
LAST WEEK..
Soil Has Been Put In Excellent Con-
dition for Flowing and Fall
Wheat Sowing.

The week was generally cool. with
frequent light showers in the eastern
counties. The rains greatly improved
pastures, and were of benefit to late
vegetables and root crops. They
were unfavorable for hop picking, de-
laying it considerably. With favor
able weather picking will be completed
by the end Of the coming week. In
some yards the crop is a good one, but
generally it is below expectations
Fruit picking and packing nave

are reported to nave done we'll in the

cellent condition for blowing and for
fall wheat sowing. Flowing is in
progress in both western and eastern
counties. Fall wheat sowing is gen.
eral in the fall wheat districts, al
though some wheat mas been sown in
the dust. Previous to the recent rains
it was too dry for the wheat to come
up. Some has now sprouted.
The season may be regarded as a
very successful one for crops. Heavy
rainfall in May and June, caused high
expectations for a bumper crop of
wheat, but, unfortunately, dry weather
in July and August lowered the pros
poets somewhat. Some wheat was in
jured by hot winds. but, on the whole,
the crop was average, or above aver
age, in most districts. The Oat crop
was also somewhat Iessened, and SO
were potatoes in the eastern counties
Fruit, in the eastern counties, was in
high winds. The hay crop was for the
most part a good one, and was saved
in good condition.
