REMEMBER THE RAscALs.

The law provides that congress.
man shall be paid salary Of $4,000
per year; and in order that the compen.
sation shall be equal, among members,
the government pays their travelling
expenses. Otherwise the representative
who comes from the Pacific coast to
the capital, paying his way, would real.
ize very much less ON this salary than
"a representative from Maryland or vir-
ginia.
The cost of travelling was greater in
the olden days than now, and the free
pass had not then become one of the
DEVILS fayorite inventions. Conse.
quently the lawmakers declared that
the Taxpayers should furnish twenty.
cents per mile to meet the expenses of
the representative in going from his
home to the post Of duty.
Inasmuch as every member Of con.
gress occasional cranks excepted
now rides ON the free passes, the mile.
age has become considerable addi.
tion to the salary.
A member who lives west of the
Mississippi will find his pay increased
a sixth, or a fifth, according to the
distance from the Atlantic seaboard;
while the delegate who comes from
Hawaii will pocket considerably more
than $1,000 for the alleged cost of get,
ting to Washington.
So far so good. Everybody knows
that congressman do not pay their way,
and everybody knows that mileage no
longer has any honest foundation; but
we've got used 10 the grab, and we let
it go, as inevitable, with a weary sigh
Of hopeless disgust
But the congress which recently ad.
iourned broke all previous records aud
gave the country a new chapter in the
record of brazen dishonor.
Previous to the meeting of the regu-
lar session there had been an extra
session. This held on till the regular
session began. There was no interval
between the two. So far as time was
concerned, the one ran into the other,
Hence, no member went home from the
extra session and came back to the reg
ular session.
There was absolutely no "reeess'
at all-not minute between the one
session and the other.
The imaginary recess having been
created by the President, the members
Of the lower house took an imaginary
recess, and then proposed that they be
paid their imaginary expenses, not in
imaginary money, but in hard cash.
Therefore, sixty.Odd Republicans
and forty-Odd Democrats, and two
Union Labor Men, voted to give them
selves 100000 Of the peoples money to

that purpose had been raised last week,

RAKE Or THE RocKs.

This is the time of year to make
the annual appeal to have the streets
cleared of loose rock.
At least once a year all the streets
should be raked clear of rocks and
rubbish.
This prevents injury to horses feet,
breaking of springs and wheels Of We
hieles
IL also prevents the streets from
wearing rough. If Salem streets were
kept free from loose rock in summer
and sprinkled they would be fine.

The direct nominating primary has
been used twice in the city of Salem
in the past two years, but this is the
first direct primary held under the
new state law.
The result Of the election in Portland

solve the question whether the law is
operative in making ticket or not,

WATER POWER PROJECT.
Corporation Formed to Develop the
Catawba and Wateree Rivers.

Charlotte, N. c., July Especial.
A corporation which will mean
much to the Piedmont section of
North Carolina, in which prominent
Tar Heel capitalists are interested,
was chartered by the State of New
York to-day. The organization is
to be known as the< Southern Power
Company and its purpose is to de-
velop the water power of the Cataw-
ba River, which skirts the southern
boundary of M~ecklenburg County,
and the Wateree River in South
Carolina. The corporation is CAPT
talized at S ,5OO,OOO. The officers
are DIR. w. Gil. Wylie, president; B.
N. Duke, first vice-president; w. S.
Lee, second vice-president; S. B. Ar
rington, secretary and treasurer, and
w. II. Martin, Jr., assistant secre-
tary.
Work has already begun ON a sur
vey of the great falls of the Cataw-
ba River where it is proposed to de-
velop 10000 horse power. Work is
to be started at once on the develop
ment of the Wateree River also, and
both projects will be rushed to com
pletion. DR.. Wylie is president of
the Catawba Power Company, which
is now furnishing the towns in this
section of North and South Caro-
lima with light and power, and it has
been known here for some time that
he was endeavoring to interest the
Dukes in a tremendous power deal.

Catawba Farming.

I am glad to oct good advice from
experienced farmers of the State and
other States. as I am a Young farm
er and enjoy reading a good farm
paper. I live on farm of $50 acres
and am raising wheat, corn, oats and
a few sweet potatoes. Wheat is look
ir~ fine in this section. There has
been a large crop of wheat sowed in
this section. The farmers, most of
them, have planted a very large crop
of corn this spring. The cotton
acreage of this county has not been
reduced very much, and [ think the
farmers have made a great mistake
in planting so much of their land in
cotton at present prices. | think
they would have done better to raise
more corn and potatoes, and also
rates more cattle and hogs for their
own use and a few for market.

we need. Here is a plan we think
would work wonderfully well: Allow
those who would take stock in the
State Business Agency Fund 4 Ger
cent per annum for the use of their
money as there are members of the
Farmers Alliance who do but little
or no trading through u State
Agency who may have monev to lend
and would rather place it in the
hands of our Business Agent than
put it in banks at 4 per cent inter-
est. I hope the State Alliance will
take this question uD as soon as pos
sible. ALI Sub Alliances should select
good men to represent them at the
next county meetings. Our Order
must be built up by real farmers
Alliance people, for we can never
succeed with fault-fnders who are so
selfish that they can't do anything
unless they are the benehciaries of
the good derived therefrom. No or
der can prosper where its members
are continually talking and working
against their own prosperity.
Now, let us work, and work in
earnest. to build up our Order by
patronizing our Business Agency,
and by all means don't FORGET to sub
scribe for The Progressive Farmer
before you forget it.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.
It Is Given by People Who Don't Know
What They Are Talking About, and
is Valued at It's Worth.

We have often wondered what some
people would do if they were not al
lowed to tell the farmers how to run
their business. Suppose the newspa-
pers would pitch in and advise the
merchants now to buy and sell, the
lawyer how to prepare his bret, the
doctor how to mix his pills, and the
preacher how to write his sermons!
But everybody knows a few chestnutS
about "diversifed farming" stalking
all on cone money CROP" and the ne,
cessity of making plenty of hog and
hominy." 1t is true this advice IS
perfectly harmless, as the farmers
pay no more attention to it than a
duck does to rain, but the seriousness
with which it is given is really
amusing. Every man who is able TO
make a speech can tell how the thlng
ought to be done. He works 1t all
out in the shade from agricultural
papers and other sources of mtornd.

Our next regular meeting will be
held on Wednesday before the second

a good meeting, and with a big turn
out on that day.
Our Aid Society is increasing i'm

be increased so as to enable Bro. II.

At the next State Alliance meeting
