subject Character of Joseph of Ari
mathea. Ishnm Royal was elected Moder
ator, John II. Downing, CJerk and
Robert N. Rutler, Treasurer. All of

THE THREE ESSENTIALS.
How to Make Fanners Prosperous.
.
Mr. Editor: I have been
several years located in the
Easteru part of No.th Carolina,
and 1115 occupation as a survey
or has given me good oppor
tunities of noticing the quality
of the soil, the mcde of fanning,
etc., and J 10m the many advan
tages that are -offered in this
part of the State, it seems tome
there should be a much greater
d agree of prosperity.
The land is adapted to almost
all kinds of crops, and the cli
mate is one of the best in the
world, so what more does a far
mer want?
1 have seen farming carried
on in many parts of the world,
but I am sorry to admit that it
is carried on in the Eastern part
of North Carolina in a most
backward and unfa' tne.-l ike
mtinner.
In the first place I will try
and point out what seems tome
to be ihe matter. The first
thing is, the land is not plough
ed deep enougbjis not sufficient
ly drained,' and the greatest
want of all, the -e is no stock to
make manure.
Without : these three; great
factors no country can be pros-
gerous any length of time
Jbarm Yard Manure. The
produrtion of farm yard manute
is the greatest factor of all in
the production of crops.
After drainage and deep cul
tivation then if the manure is
applied theu there is no fear of
the result and the damage from
an excess of rain or dry weather
is almost nothing.
In order that f arm yard man
ure can te got we must have
stock, and in order to feed stock
we must grow food. So the first
thing to consider is . what can
best be grown in this climate to
feed stock.
Peas, beans, turuips,sweefc. po
tatoes, ensilage, etc., cm he
grown - in any quantity - and
along with plenty nf oats,wheat,
rice straw and hay will enable
a man to keep his stock all the
wiiiter in pens. Those catt'e
will make enough manure dur
ing the winter sufficient to pay
for their feed and theu you can
apply, say, 20 tons i to every
acre of cotton and if the in
crease" does not pay then there
is .no use trying any .other way.
Proper, warm buildings must
be erected for the stock, for a
great deal depends on keeping
stock war;,) and comfortable.
A cortato'VStity -of food must
be takr StearlilmAl to keep
At the last meeting of the
County Alliance a resolution
was passed requesting each sub-
Alliauce to appoint a com nittee
whose duty it should be to can

oa President of the County Al
liance and editor of The Cau
casian, -we 'have invite I Hon. C.
r. Macune, President of the
National Alliance and editor of
National Economist, to be pie
sent and speak on Thursday.
We reminded him that Sampson
county had paid more to the
State Agency fund than any
other county in North Carolina,
aud now let us show him such
an exhibit as he wouli find in
no other county.
M
We have the numerical
strength and all that we want is
unity, manly action. Some re
fuse to unite with us, because
they ay we are a secret organi
zation.
I deny the charge of ours be
ing a secret organization. Our
by-laws and our constitution
are open to the world. Our dec
laration of principles is open to
the free inspection of all who
. ill uri. " m
win. wnen we come to our
Alliance halls to reason togeth
gether to formulate plans and
to drill, we close our doors. The
church of Christ is an organiza
tion, and some of its most effec
tive work is done in secrecy, i.
e., "when tho.u prayest enter
into thy Closet," etc. Still we
find some Christians who object
to the Alliance, because of its
secret work. I like to see a man
straight, but not so straight as
to fall over backward. Now, I
want to bo- firmly understood.
I say that a great many intelli
gent men, eligible to momber
ship in our order are playing
the part of "skulks" If we
fail ti do what we have under
taken, know alFmen, that those
who f-kulk, it matters not what
may have actuated them, wheth
er bribery, ignorance or cowar
dice, are the boys woo did the
work. L. E. D. in New Berne

This Alliance is growing rap-,

initiated last meeting and seve
ral applications are now on file
for the next meeting.
MTho'las't lie of the jute men,"
says the National Economist,
"is to th.! effect that the cotton
baggi ng is taken from the bale
and jute substituted at the city
compresses. However well stuck
t, this is simply a lie. Cotton
covered bales go through and on
Shipboard without discrimination."
