soldiera saw that Confederate
money was'nt Tin fit to put up
as an ante at a game of saven
up. They were asliamed to
send their monthly pay home
to their families for itwouldu't
buy anything and would - jut
be an aggravation.
But the boys kept ou fixat
ing all the same, and the home
folks kept on suffering and . di
viding until there wasn't any
thing left to divide, for Sher
man had beau along herd and
made a war path fifty miles
wide, and gobbled np every
horse and mule, sheep and cow
and cflicken, and ehook its ram
rod at the buzaards. - When my
folks got home from mucins
there wasn't bat one cow in the
county, and she was hid in a
canebraKe, and it took 13,000 in
money and an old execntioa for
500 and thirty yards of factory
f hirting to buy her. After the
war that execution was collec
ted with all its interest and eo
the cow seller lost his con fed
rate money but got about
eight hundred dollars in ren
backs for her and she wasn't
a Jersey either. These ante
bellum debts were awful hard
to pay after the war was over
I know it by t-xprience.
Ween the war broke out I owed
about thrae thoos&nd dollars
and was mighty good' for it
During- the war I wanted to pay
it in confederate money but my
friends wouldn't take it and af
ter the fuss was over 1 couldn't
and it took ma ten years to get
rid of the debt.
I always thought that Colon
el Fort was right, for he said we
were all ruined and ought to
wipe out the state and burn up
the notes and accounts and
mortgages, and let everybody
beg iii anew and start even with

myself he owed aboatas many
as he didn't owe, aud had noth

rotten tobacco and six bunches
of factory yarn and four bolts

suppose.
But everybody west to work.
The soldiars brought back some
old worn out army stock. The
refugees soon began to return
and brought along some" cattle
and hogs and chickens and dogs
and onr folke in Sherman.- belt
got-a start on the upgrade, and
ever f luce then they have been

in an industrious manner. The

The people of North Carolina
believe in thorough education,
however much their ignorance may
force tbem to act otherwise. Most
of fije complaint we hear of educa

know one thing thoroughly and be
able to put. that knowledge . to
practical use, than to have a smat
tering of so many things. We
sincerely hope the next Legislature
will levy more taxes for the public
scbo.ds so that onr schools may be
more thorough and practical. :

5'rcng Ls'fer From a Setaibls.
Lenoir, N- C, Nov. 24, 189G.
To My Alliance Bbetiiren in
North Carolina:
I was among the first to join
the Alliance in Caldwell coun
ty. Before I joined I was as
sured that nothing was secret
xcept the signs and pass
words which are necessary to
protect us from im posters.
W hen I was Initiated I was
solmn;y assured that there
was nothing to 'conflict wi'h
my political or religious
views." As far as interference
was concerned my rsligion and
my politics vera placed uu the
same plane one was as sacred
as the other.
I read the constitution of the
order and found no hiut ! it
that it was ever to be made a
political machine. On the
contrary its labors were to be
"in a strictly non-partisan spir
it. It is an Agricultural socie
ty to improve ourselves in all
useful knowledge pertaining to
our calling. It is a Benevolent
Protective Association to assist
each other in trouble, and to se
cure entire harmony and too J
will among ail mankind and
brothirly love among our
selves." These are the great
objects of the order and no one
can deny that they are praise
worthy. But our constituti m
has been vioiated and our
principles trampled on, and as
a consequence wnal do we see
Instead of brotherly love
among oursi Ives there is dis
cord; instead of securing entire
harmohy and good will with
our neighbors and all cla-t-es,
the eesds of suspicion, jeal
ousy, and even natrad are
sown; political teat are set op
and every one injr out of the
order are compeiied to submit
to them on pain of political
destruction, and if any one re
fuses to bow down to these
idols, no matter what bis abil
ity, experience and faithful
devotion to the best interests
of the farmer and all clasees,
he is denounced as uuworthy of
confidence; office-seekers seeing
how the order is being used as
a political machine, aive up,
for the time,' their legitimate
calling and forc3 themselves in
contrary to the letter and
spirit of the constitution. The
freedom of the pr ss is threat
ened If it presumes to criticise
those iu authority threatened
with the boycott a ccpy of
th odious "ban or the Empire"
used by despots in the dark
ajres..
Freedom of tboui.ht and
freedom of speech are threat
ened with the penalty of be
ing kicked out of the order.
And in addition to all this
there is evidence amounting
almost to a certainty that an
tffort is being made through
the Alllauces to induce or coin
pel the meaabers-elect to the
Laislature to vlolite their
solemn pledges tolht? vonven
tions that nominated them, and
thus trample on their honor,
and betray the people both in
and out of the order who elect
ed them.
This is the condition that
comfrrnts us. And now what
will the conservative memters
of the Alliance do?. Shall we
cll a halt and demaud a res
turu to the 'constitution, and a
cessation of this coastant in
terference with "our political
convictions?. Or shall we re
main silent aod-ae our order
drift to destrnction?
This will be 1 he Intvit ble
result if wo do not come to
aether ?end enter a determined
protest. Good men who are
out will not join cs and all
classes will bnd against us.
But whit can we do? JFor one,
I propose to stand by the Con
stitution of our order, and offer
this suggestion to my conserva
tive brethren' throughout the
State; ana appeal to them to.
come together and let them
selves b felt and heard.
Let'ns, in our sub-Alliances,
when we maet in December,
and in our County. Alliances
when they meet in January,
Reolve, Thtt we will not
permit any interference, from
any quarter, with our political
rights and convictions and we
advise and counsel the members-elect
to th Legislature to
stand upon thir constitutional
rights and upon tbeir honor,
and to ksep eacred the pledges
they made to the conventions
that nominated them and to
the people who elected thejn.
And we furthermore condemn
the 1 oycott in every form.
Wheu you have passed some
such resolutions forward them
to your, repreaentatii es and
and Senators in the Legislature
and ' have them published in
your Alliance and Sta'e papers,
Iwoold. advise every Alli
ance man, whether a delegate
'r .no?, to attend the County
Alliance aud if it declines to
adopt some such resolution, let :
them immediately organize as:

Sf30.iT3 Oratory-
Jonathan Puh was a pale
faced young l-fWjttr. Day after
day he sat waititig for ellente,
but none caum. Tha urst term
of cour 'appeared and his name
was not on the dM.'ket. At that
me tuy father was clerk of
thr Circuit court. One day
there -.came a poor sd woman
to him, who poured into "his
ear a pitiful tale of woe. A
brother-in-law had robbed her
of all the property ltjft her by
her dead husband, and ou-
pressed and abused her, and
was now seeking to take from
her care her ouly child, a little
girl about 3 yeL.rs old. My
father became deeply interest
ed iu the woman and promised
to help Ler. H at oi.ee sent
for Pugh. The youuc lawyer
came and iook charge of the
case.
Tha woman's brother-in law
was rich, and he employed the
best of counsel, and made every
effort in his power to defeat her
in court and subject her to
till greater oppression. " He
even circulated slanderous sto
ries against her and succeeded
in totally destroying her good
reputatiou.
This story kindled the soul
of Pugh.ahd he went to work
with a fierce determination to
unmask the vlllian. The neigh
borhood was thoroughly arous
ed, and the old court room was
crowded with spectators. The
sal and dreamy younc. lawyer
became another inau a bold
and d&untlass knight fighting
for outraged womanhood. He
arose to -speak. The silence
was painful. With a master
hand he bid before the court
and jttr the work of the poor
w iman's oppressor. The per
jured w!tnsses withered be
neath his fiery denunciatien.
Judge, jurors and spectators
bent forward to listen.
Ashe told of the woman's
wrons tears filled the eyes of
all. Then he turned! from tho
weeping woman to the author
of her sorrows. In terrible
iauguflgtf he exposed the vil
iiauy of the man. Suddenly
he faced the . victim of his scorn
bud pointing his quivering fin
ger at him exclaimed "You
have stolen from this poor wo
man all her property. . Not
only this; yon have robbed her
not only of her last dollar, but
of what is more precious than
jjold St. r good nnrae. And
now. with savage hands, on
try to tear from her arms her
darling child. 1 the awful
hereafter you should not even
be allowed th miserable com
fort of herding with the com
mon damned, hut iii eoaie low
er, deeper hell be compelled,
singly and alon, to howl out
an eternity of woe."
As Pugh reached this climax
it fell like a. bolt of thunder
on the eats of the guilty man,
and he rushed hsadloug from
the court room. Pugh's repu
tation was made. He was
flooded with clients and wa3 at
once one of the busiest lawyers
in town. Illinois State Jour
