ADDRESS
Of Sp cial Committee to Alliance-
men and Farmers of North
Caro'ina.
To the Farmers and Former Mem
bers of the Farmers' Alliance in
North Carolina :
Feeling that the time has come for
a general revival and reorganization
of the Alliance in this State, the un
dersigned were, at the recent session
of the North Carolina State Alliance,
appointed a committee to draft an
address to tne farmers of the State
This is an epoch of organization
and co operation. The class that re
mains unorganized is at the mercy
of those united in organization.
Eleven years ago the farmers of
North Carolina, realizing this fact,
joined hands in an effort to promote
their interests "mentally, morally,
socially and financially." When the
jute bagging trust attempted to op
pi ess us the farmers defeated it, aud
it was glad to bell its product at the
old price or for less. We could deal
with any trust now existing as we
did with the jute bagging trust if
we had the same united co-operation i
of the farmers of the country.
The social condition of the farm
era and the period of neighborly
good feeling for and associatian with
each other which then existed ha3
never Den equalled in the history of
the State. Families that had lived
near each other for years became
acquainted, unfavorable opinions of
neighbors were found on acquaint
ance to be unfounded, and their
worth learned and appreciated. The
people, by associating together and
exchanging of ideas, were benefitted
in their business in all departments.
13y co-operation the 100 per cent.
for a few months credit was destroy
ed, and needed supplies bought at
reasonable prices for cash or good
security.
The different state of feeling now
existing among the farmers was oc
casioned to some extent by the dif
ference of opinion on political ques
tions. The mercnants, bankers,
railroaders, mill men, lawyers, etc.,
have organizations to promote the
interests of their respective lines of
business. When their assemblies
convene no one is made to feel un
comfortable on account of a differ
ence of political views, but their
consideration is directed to the ad
vancement of the business in which
they have a common interest. Why
should it not be so with the farmers?
Is there anything beneficial gained
by rejecting the example given us
by the wild horses on the Western
plains, which, when attacked, turn
their heads together and use their
heels upon their enemies, and in im
itating the conduct of an animal that
"has neither pride of ancestry nor
hope of posterity" turning ears full
length to our enemies and using our
heels upon each other? The evil of
this course is now bearing fruit and
the Alliance has determined that the
pledge that a member's religious and
political views shall not be in any
way interfered with shall be strictly
enforced.
As to the course of our organ, The
Progressive Farmer, we are assured
by tne business manager and the
editor of the paper that it shall be
an independent, unmuzzled farmers'
and Alliance journal, and while it
will unhesitatingly commend the
right and fearlessly condemn the
wrong, it shall be done as to the
matter in question per se, without
reference to tne political party ad
vocating it.
And financially the Alliance 13 m
a healthy state. Although some mis
takes have been made, our Execu
tive Committee and Business Agency
have straightened out our business,
and we now have over 9,000 in
North Carolina 4 per cent, bonds
and cash, besides our property at
Headquarters near Hillsboro. The
Alliance also owns the shoe factory
machinery, costing over $6,000, and
the building in which it is located,
all unencumbered. This property,
security and machinery, is for the
benefit of all new as well as old mem
bers. Evidences that the farmers are
awakening to the benefits that such
an organization as the Alliance
should be, and would be to them,
come to us from many sections of
the State. We anticipate a consider
able revival in the near future. There
were other causes than political ran
cor which have been injurious to the
Order, among them the membership
of unworthy men. During the first
year or so of the Alliance few except
good men were admitted, and that
one was an Ailianceman was gener
ally evidence that he was a trust
worthy person, but as the greed for
membership grew nearly every one
who applied was admitted, and many
bad members ..were received. . The
conduct of some of these in business
matters caused many good Alliance-
men to quit the Order for their own
personal protection. i
" In reorganization there should be
vigilance as to the reception of mem
bers. .The Committee on Examina
tion should examine carefully, and
the Alliance protected from the en
trance of unworthy members, who
would be of no benefit, and whose
membership would prevent desirable
persons from joining, ' I
The N.C.F. S. Alliance has for the
present severed its connection with
the National Order, and is governed
only by its own Constitution and
regulations Should it ever become
desirable to resume connection with
the National Alliance it can be done.
In some sections of the State
there is a contention for a new far
mers' organization. Under tbe
libers! charter granted us by the
State, the Alliance can be made to
accomplish anything desirable we
may wish. There ia certainly no
need for anew organization. It will
be far better to reorganize the Al
liance, avoid the mistakes of the past
and live up to its principles in a
spirit of fraternity and brotherly
love.
Let it be understood that the
farmer is in "business" just as the
merchant, the banker, the manufac
turer, or any other "business" man,
and is entitled to the same consider
ation in the legal and economical
regulations of the country. But the
farmer, while an important class, is
not the only useful class of our citi
zenship. Every legitimate business
benefits the whole population. We
therefore should labor in our sphere,
not as enemies but as allies of other
useful professions, and do nothing
with the sole desire to injure others.
There was ft time when the farm
ers were the happy, contented class
of our country and a yeomanry of
prosperous home owners, no matter
how humble the home, is the bul
wark of a country. Our farmers are
not in prosperous condition to-day.
lhere are those who either deny this
or attribute it to laziness of the
farmers, but in the next breath con
tradict themselves by attributing it
to over production.
Ihe Alliance would afford oppor
tunity for a study of the causes of
this condition, and for exchange of
views as to the best methods of
producing crops, raising and fatten
ing animals, preparation of fertil
izers, improving lands and highways,
marketing crops, and many details
in farm work, etc., and the best
ideas could be put into practical use.
It could arrange programmes for
farmers' institutes to be held in the
neighborhood. Among? other thinss
it might also arrange for a system of
storage, warehouses, etc., or some
means by which the crops would not
be thrown on the market in a lump,
but the sales be regulated, so as to
place the different non perishable
crops, especially cotton, on the
market systematically throughout
the year. And last, but by no means
least, and which we have not hitherto
appreciated and developed as we
should have done. Is the social fea-
A. e tt "v "l rw-r
iure oi tne uraer. vv e are more or
less isolated, and need these gather
ings tor the best development of our
young people into noble and useful
women and men, as well as for the
benefit of the older people.
We meet few persons who were
ever members of the Order who do
not say that they are "as good AI
liancemen as ever, but ." They then
relate some grievance which is fre
quently imaginary or the result of
their own conduct, and which could
be easily remedied by their own ac
tion. The Alliance elevated the farmers
as no institution ever has done . It
taught them to think, and by it they
learned more of matters in which
they interested themselves than they
had learned in all the years before.
That there were some cranks and
men hasty to act was to be expected
The interests of Caesar may in some
instances have overshadowed those
of Kome, yet the aim of the Alliance
was the good of the whole, not of the
few.
The necessity for organization and
the advantages of co-operation have
only increased with each succeeding
year since we first joined hands in
1888. Every other class, realizing
that iu union there is strength, is
united. In this age of organization
we, too, must organize.
We therefore cordially invite all
eligible persons to unite with us in
the endeavor to rebuild the Alliance,
with the great objects set forth in
our Declaration of Purposes to
develop a better state mentally,
morally, socially and financially; to
educate ourselves upon all matters
affecting our welfare; to maintain
law and order; to suppress personal,
local and national prejudices; and
promote in every possible way the
Pest and highest interests of our
people and country.

And why tarry so long,
By putting oi
You certai
ing your taxes
are treating me wrong.
The harvest is ddly passing.
The sumni' J ended, they say.
The money is now circulating,
So why not come promptly and pay,
Ourpnblio schools are now running,
The teachers you know must be paid ;
The children must be educated,
This matter must not be delayed.
Then, too, is our own peerless Graded,
Just think on the large plan it is run ,
Some men with bo children pay large amounts,
Some wih many children pay none.
The well-to-do and the less favored
Together this righteous plan made.
The rich man's heart is drawn Heavenward
When he sees the poor child In 9th grade.
A portion on each one is levied
To carry out this wonderful plan ;
Now he who pays not his proportion,
Is he worthy ihe name of a man?
The county and State need their money
To meet their pressing demands.
And I having been made collector.
All this is required at my hands.
Therefore let each one come promptly
And pay his proportion assessed ;
Wise men of all ages assure us
Those who do their duty are blessed.
Now with these words of kind exhortation,
At present I propose to close;
Trusting I'll not have to throw grass or stone?.
Nor tread npon any man's toes.

Daring the winter of 1897 Mr. Jam ea
Reed, one of the leading cit'zans and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va.,
struck his leg against a cake of ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severely.
It became very much swollen and
pained him so badly that he could net
walk without the aid of crutches. He
was treated by physicians, and also
used several kinds of liniment and two
aDd a half gallons of whisky in bath
ing it, but nothing gaye any relief un
til he began using Chamberlain's Pain

S. A. Donahoe, pastor M. E. Church,
South,Pt. Pleasant,W. Va. , contracted
a severe cold which was attended from
the beginning by violent coughing. He
says: "After resorting to a number of
so-called 'specifics,' usually kept in the
house, to no purpose, I purchased a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, which acted like a charm. I most
cheerfully recommend it to the public.

Drying preparations sinrply develop
dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions
which adhere to the membrane and de
compose, causing a far more serious
trouble than the ordinary form of ca
tarrh, Avoid all drying inhalants and
use that which cleaEses, soothes and
hea's Ely's Cream Balm is such a

There are people who are suffering
with weak lungs. They have an obsti
nate cough, are weak, emaciated, hope
less. They have been taught there's no
hope for them. Some one puts into their
hands one of Dr. Pierce's books or ad
vertisements and through this medium
they see healthy, happy men and women,
who declare that their lungs had been
weak, they had been racked by coughs,
had been emaciated, feeble, hopeless,
and were positively and permanently
cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. These cures can be num
bered by scores of thousands.
Are you sick? Will you throw aside
the advertisement, break the microscope,
or will you make one effort for health ?
Write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, at Buffalo,
N. Y. There is no charge for consulta
tion by letter. You'll get a prompt
answer, with fatherly sympathy and
medical skill combined.
There is no alcohol, or other stimulant
in " Golden Medical Discovery."
