THE FARMERS' ALLIANCES OF THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES HAVE A GOOD TIME. Ma Editor: It was our pleasure to attend the great Farmers Alliance Pic nic held at Kittrells. Gates Co.. on the and inst, It was indeed a gala-day for the sobs of toil. Verj early in the morning the people began to assem ble on the grounds, they might be seen coming from all quarters; by iO o'clock an immense throng had gathered numbering up in the thousands; prom inent among them was the Chowan Co. Farmers Alliance Band, attired in their beautiful new uniform which commanded the admiration of the spectators At 11a. m. the Band mar ched to the grand stand under strains f svreet music, followed by an immen se crowd. Upon the stand were seated Jion. Marisn Butler, State President of the Farmers Alliance, Col. Harry Stunner, Hon W. A. B. Branch, Con gressnian elect, Gen. W. P. Roberts. Mr. Mills EureandMr, W. T.Cross, with other prominent gentleman- The services were opened with prayer by Rer.-J C Woodson, Chap lain. Mr, W. T. Cross very hand somely introduced Pres Marion Butler as the first speaker. Though a young man, we soon discovered that we had made no mistake in selecting Mr Butler as our standard bearer. He is thorough ly in sympathy with the great Alliance movement that is now agitating this country. Ho spoke for nearly two hours concerning the depression that is now overhanging the agricultural interest, its causes and its remedies, lie is a gentleman of broad information and made a fine impression upon his hearers, as evidenced by the marked attention they gave him Col. Harry Skinner was next introduced who held us spell-bound for nearly 2 hours discussing in a very able and eloqueit manuer. the Subtreasury plan. He must iiave gained many converts to th Aliiauce principles by his masterly presentation of the objeets of one of the mrougest planks in the Alliance plat form, and the complete refutation of the objects to the snbtreasury plan. Col. $k nner is one of the few lawyers who has espoused the cause of the agrieuU turisls: may he live long and be hand somely rewarded for his magnanimous spirit. After the conclusion of his ad dress, we were coidially invited by Gen.

W. A. B. Branch. In the beginning of his dis course he stated that it would be impossible for hint to make a speech, as the gentleman who had proceeded him had covered all the ground. Well, if they had, he had the happy faoulty of clothing some of the thoughts in a now dress, ere ha had finished, he had sustained his reputation as a good and iorcible speaker.
