formed some time in July. Fail
ing to get relief, a second operation
was pertornied about the middle of
Angnst, wheu her arm was amputa
ted, bat too late. All the efforts
of skilled physicians and the minis
trations of tender hands failed to
stay the ravage of her illness and
she faded away as a flower t'uat is
plucked. Right hard did she bat.
tie for her life right patient she
was through the long, weary time
till last Sunday the grim reaper
claimed her for his own, and they
gently, tenderly laid her away Mou
day evening to find that rest that
was denied ter here. There she
will stay till tbe angels come and
get her.

THE FARMERS' UNION.
Letter from the County Secretary Kx
plaiulng Why the Union Is Neces
sity Its Objerts and How to Attain
Them.
Editor Courier: Ye3, they will.
What else have we done, my brother
farmer, but stick ? Stick tj our
job of making millions of bushels
grain and millions of pounds of cot
ton aud meat to feed a l.trge. class of
people (so-called traders) who have
lived like" the leech on the best blood
of this latui aud grew fat on it.
Look around you and see whi it
is that dresses the best, rides in the
finest vehicles, bus th be t of every
thing, seemingly, and you will find
a non-producer ; only a parasite who
boosts of nothing but his atility to
figure (very quietly) how to get the
most of your products for the least
number of his dollars.
Is what I have Slid true? If so,
why have you not become a member
of tbe Fa.mers' Union ? What good
can come t you by staying out and
letting the same old thing happen
that has for the lat fifty years ?
We have to get oar mouey in small
amounts, so of course spend it in the
same way, but at the same tiraa will
u.t.a little saved by hewing a little
closer to the line, and by raising
more of hit we use at home aud
I 84 to sell, bring us a little cloterto
the place where we cn let supply
and demand fix the price and leave
out this fat utradei ?''
Well, Mr. Trader, maybe you
have come to the conolusion that the
writer iutends to advocate a mouop-
oiy oi farmers wny noir Are you
not a member of just such a gang,
having been in the way of legitimate
business and bearing down when it
suits you or buihug up for same rea
son beuriug up whea the -fawner
have crops to sell and bulling up
cne price wnen you nave bought up
an yoa can r mere nca be no bet
ter reason given for the farmers Dut
ting their names, their money, t heir
power into one great organization
for the uplift of tbe dowu trodden
farmer, shake off this pesky middle
man and cause him to find seme spot
on uou s goo j earth where he can earn
an honest living by the sweat of his
brow and not that of his fellow man.
Nw, don t you suck to tax par
ing and don't give your money to all
the causes that go to make up the
upporcuLies oi mis parasite. Who
for one minute will not stop to ask
want is to become of your son or
daughter or wife, whether they are
ever educated or have anv of the
blessiugs they have toiled to make?
Mr. Editor, I am a Union man in
my bumble wav, s my forefathers
were for the Union of this grer.
country, but there always comes a
time in men s lives when they must
choose tbe way, and I am fully of
the opinion that the time is ripe for
the farmer to profiit by the experi
ence of the past and stop tbe 1-ak
that hus made him poorer during
these long hard years of toil aud
worry.
Now, Mr. Editor, 1 believe that
every man that has his name on the
books of the farmers Mutual Assur
ance of Randolph couoty should
joio the Farmers' Union and line u
10 its principles. Now, sir, 1 will
give you our preamble.
Speculators and those encaged in
the distribution of farm products
have organized and operate to the
great detriment of the farming
ciass.
To enablt fanners to meet these
conditions und protect their in ter
es s, we have organized tbe Farm
ers' Educational and Co-operati e
Union ot America, and declare the
following purposes:
lo establish justice, to secure
equity, to apply the G Idea Rule,
to discourigf ire credit and mot-
gage system, to assist our members
in buying and selling, toeducate tbe
agricultural class in scientific farm
ing, to touch farmers the classifica
tion of crops, domestic economy and
the process of marketing, to ay tern-
atize methods of production and dis
tribution, to eliminate gambling in
farm products by Boards of Trade,
Cotton Exchange' aud other specu
lators, to bring farmers np to the
standard of other industries and
business enterprises, t) secure and
maintain profitable aud uniform
prices for grain, cotton, live stock
aud other products of the farm, to
strive for harmony and good will
among all mankind and brotherly
love among ourselves.
Now, Mr. reader, do you see any
thing good in this 1 If so, say Amen.

Important Real Katate Deal Revives old
Memories. ,
The purchase of seventy-six and a
half acre? of land inside of the cor
porate limits of Asneboro recently
by Mr. John M. Hammer for him
self and as-ociate, was an importaut
reai esutie deal, it me.ins that this
property will m the near future be
developed.
the land was p-rchased from Mr.
J. E. Walker, aud every foot of it
wnen developed will be in sight of
the new largf graded school, beinz
southeast of the school building and
nor. a ni;ie from a churcb.csurthouse
or rail load etition.
The laud is iu woods and is well
watered; it is adjoining tie Reiuhart
propnrtv, on which are a number of
never tailing, strong flowing springs,
and on which and through which
flows Haskett's creek and Glass hill
branch. Through both tracts runs
the old Glass hill road, which comes
into the street leading by the old
academy, at which the la e Reuben
Brown lun for so many years a most
successful school, at which mauy
of odr parents were, before the Civil
War, pupils.
This old road, which is still v:si
ble and can be traveled most of the
way- leaves the street at tbe old
academy plce, formerly extending
east hut now closed up near Mr. W.
A. Underwood's, and ran in almost
southern direction south for three
miles when it turned a more south
e.iSt course, to the old Btibe road lead
ing frjtn Silera to Fa.etteville, at a
place ues' Erect, where it connected
with or crossed going to Wades boro,
we are not cei tiin which. At a
point half mile this side of Moun
tain Run a branch or part of Rich
land creek an& aoaie mile and a
half from the old academy, the road
is not in pyneral ate by the public
Another osd branching off further
west just below where tbe late Jo
seph Foster lived and connecting
with the old stage road cut Oi.t, over
which General Greene's army trav
eled after the Battle of Guilford
Court House. This road of late
years is known as the Cox road.
Whea we began to write about the
sale of thia real estate we did not
have in mind nor intend to make
any reference to local historical
matter or anything else except to
record this one local item.
While on this subject, however,
we recall one other fact, on what is
now the Reinhart property is a spring
which was nsed by the teacher and
pupils of the old academy referred to.
Another we note is that the seventy-six
and a half acre tract is prac
tically a divide or water shed for
Deep river and the great valley of
the Pee Dee.
New and Important Undertaking.
The Courier has information that
there are several new enterprises in
btore for Asheboro, and a steady, en
ergetic effort on the pirtof all will
have much to do with bringing
about remarkable results within tbe
uext few months.
Have vou ever thought ot the su
perior advantages Asheboro has over
and above every other town in this
Stite? Think abont them, put
them on paper, and write your friends
about it, tell every one you see abiut
these advantages, and what a hue
town we have and the good people
who live here and bow everybody
can get work, and the cost of living,
goo 1 schools, and a hundred other
things. uave you ever thought
about ltr If not, do so. If you
have, think more about it, and tell
it, aud then tell it again over aud
over, bnt not to tbe same person.
Write lhe Conner a short letter aud
tell any good thing you know about
the town.
If yoa want t correct any evils
which exist, see the town officials
and the civic league, and do clean,
square talk to them. They may
likeitor may not,your effort will not
be wasted on the desert air but will
be like bread cast upon the waters.

In Re Mr. Rogers.
In this issue we print an account
of a second visit by T. L. Rogers to
the now famous cave at Glenola. It
is more lurid, if possible, than the
first. Thf Courier does not vouch
for all Mr. Rogers writes, but prints
it, as its prints other things that
are of interest to its readers and
for what it is worth leaving them
to draw their own conclusions. As
to Mr. Rogers personally, he at one
time lived at Glenola, where he
was in tbe employ of the Southern
railroad. While he was there he
married a daughter if the late
James McDowell, and later removed
to West Virginia, where he makes
his home and f rrm which vantage
ground he writes. We regret Mr.
Rogers' apparent lack of particulars
in that he omits to mention the
names af the people who have been
near him during these wonderful
investigations, and especially the
names of the cood friends who an
opportunely pulled him out of the
awful pit following his first trip to
the bottom of this wonderful place,
as well as the names of the parties
that would '"unravel the greatest
nYBtei'V i-Ver known in th hiatnrv
of North Carolina." We hope these
details will be supplied, as well as
other omissions corrected and ampli
fied, in his next haii-raisi-ig effort
to hack Jiiilgar Allan I'oe oft the
boards. We await, with, what na-
tieuce we may, his next trip with a
bag of grub and a bull's eye lan.
teru to this awful nlace and hia
description thereof.
