C, OCT. IS, 1801 The Lincoln County Farmer's Alliance met with Laurel Uill sub Alliance last Friday, Oct. 9. We have not ioceived the full proceed ings, but were informed by the sec retary that moat of the proceedings were routine business- Another vote, however, was taken ou the Oeala demands and there were only two dissenting votes. We are in formed that the Alliauce is going to hold to the sub-Zfreasury plan, uns less something is propose that will take its place. The matter,it seems to u, stands this way : The Alliance is for the Ocala platform, sub-Treas ury and all ; the Democrats are oi iering the Democratic platform and principle as "something better." TheDemocrntic party ot this country las been contending for "something better'' lo, these many years, but they have been defeated in their dibits to get it- The last elections have brought the Democratic party upon the eve ot a national victory Jor reform, and united efforts lor Democracy by those who have here ,ofore held to those principles would secure a great victory in the next campaign. But dark clouds are now hovering in the political tsky and only time can decide wheth er they will pass harmlessly over or burst forth in a mighty storm di viding asunder the political lorces that have heretofore stood side by Mile or hand in hand contending for that reform which would bring re lief to ALL CLASSES alike. A TV ALLUNCECOXSPIIIACY. Tkiangle N. C. Oct 3rd 1891 J. M. Roberts Esq. Sir Enclosed you will liud clip pings from your verey highly e teemed piper, which came before our alliance. Where 1 was instructed as secretary. To clip them out and hend them back and Present you with Our highest compliments and to inform you that; they contained Just a little More news than we wauted and that uuless Such news as said clippings ceased to appear in your Paper that you would be with out a subscriber in our alii auce. Yours, E. A. Long Sec Triangle alliance, ,341, The clippings above referred to were taken from our issue of Oct. 2nd, aud were our editorial "Dis cussion and Boycotting," a selection from the Nw York Herald, i tele graphic dispteh to the daily papers headed "No Third Party in Geors gia,'' a clipping from an alliauce pa per called the Caswell Xeics, and "Bob Peak on Political Questions." The Courier begs leave to re turu its "highest compliments" to the members of Triangle Alliance who favored the above action and inform them that it did not and does uot know that Triangle Alli auce had been eugaged as its DiCs tat oil ; nor that it was to be that body's "subsidized" orgau, nor that it was Us duty to consult that body as to what we should allow to ap pear in our paper and as to what we should exclude; and therefore we do most earnestly entreat those members ot alliance No. 3-11, to per mit us to say that we are not to be "bought," "subsidized," nor frighti ened and that we shall allow to ap pear in these columns hereafter, as heretofore, whatever news or com ment we may deem proper ; and we further entreat the offended mem- ters of No. 341, to further exercise their indulgence, sufficiently at least, to hear us state that the Cow JUER started out as a Democratic paper aud that it baa always been a Democratic journal and that it expects to continue a Democratic paper so long as its present cdi'or has to do with its management. Take the case, gentlemen. It would he interesting if the seo etary, who is not a subscriber to he COUJIIER, would inform uaj'ist low many subscribers took patt in the boycott action. If those who dislike to read or hear criticism of certain Alliance leaders will turn their attention to said leaders and call upon them to cease their bitter denunciations of and bitter attacks upon the Democ ratic party and the Democratic press, then they may, with some de ree of consistency ask the Democ ratic press to let the Alliauce move on in peace. So long as these agi Utors continue to trample under loot those principles held sacred by thousands not members of the Farmers' Alliance, and not eligible to that Order, so long will they re vive the rebuke which their course Jo einiiientlv deserves. The Ultimatum. Dr. It. L: Beall, of Lenoir, a mem bar of the Farmers' Alliance, had a meeting with Mr. Marion Butler, President of the Farmers' Alliance, in Lenoir a few weeks ago, and the following interview was had : After pointing oat the fact that the general drift of bis speech tend ed to injure the Democratic party, especially his suggestion that both pirties were responsible tor the present financial condition, Dr. Beall asked Mr. Butler if any mem ber of Congress from North Caroli. na had voted with the Republicans to bring on this condition? Mr. Butler Why, certainly. Matt, iiinsom did. You are behind the times ana ought to read up. Dr. Beall Do you intend to stand fcy the subTreasury Plan even to disrupting the Democratic party ? Mr. Butler Yes. We intend to stand by it if it splits the Democrat ij party. But we intend to go into tae Democratic conventions aud ol ti'r our platform. Dr. Beall Do you intend to try to make the su Treasury plan a part of the Democratic platform ? Mr. Butler Yes, if we have the majority. We intend to stand by our demands let the consequences be as they may. Dr. Beall Are you willing to have this interview published Mr. Butler Yes; ann I want you to understand that I do not speak lor myselt alone but as officer of the Alliance, Lenoir Topic. Sligiitly paraphrasing the Ian t;uage ot another, we may say that the supplication offered by liev. Thomas Dixon, at the opening of the Southern Exposition at Raleigh, Ust Thursday and published in The State Chronicle of Friday, was one of the most eloquent ever delivered to a North Carolina audieuce. It is unrated around that the Expose tion managers paid him one bun dled dollars for it, and in our judg ment it was worth the money. Statesville Landmark. TIow can the Landmark determine thd value of a prayer in dollars aud cents ? How can the managers ot the Exposition do so ? Does Mr. Dixou keep prayers for sale? Charlotte Chronicle. S-im Jones Suuiuioiieri Before a Georgia Grand Jury. A dispatch from Rome, Ga., says: Two subpteuas calling upon the Rev. Sam Jones and Sam Small to appear before the grand jury now in session for Floyd county were issued to-day or yesterday. Judge Maddox in his charge suggested that any one who knew so much as Sam Jones might impart his knowledge to the jury. The jury took him at his word and the two Sams must appear. That the source of Mr. Jones' information may not be wantiug several of the leading members of the Methodist church from whom it is supposed the evangelist obtained it are also subpiened to appear. It will be a lively time. Those whose ways are dark and whose deeds are evil may well tremble at the prosper. If all the charges brought by Sam Jones during his lasi stay ia Rome are true then Floyed county must rent houses lor criminals. Whether Sam Jones knows or guesses at what he says, is what the jary intends to find out.' Concord Standard. The llaby'g .Name is Ilutli. New Yonk, Oct. 9 Ex-President Cleveland said to-day in au swer to an inquiry regarding the name of the new-comer in his house: "We have settled on a name, and it is Ruth.' "This was the name of Mrs. Cleveland's grandmother and has always been especially liked by her." 1 r. Ilrniidy York, IeI One of Cod's saints on earth has Kone to his eternal reward. Rev. Dr. Brantley York passed away in great. pa.ue at Foieit City, N, C, on tha 7th ot October, aged 88 years. Sixty four years ago he married Miss Fanny Sherwood, and fif ty foor years ago he married Miss Mary W. Linebeiry, who survives him, aged 71. He was the author of an Ed glish Grammar, was a man of tal ents, was a teacher for sixty years or more and was blind for fall forty years. Ia addition to this affliction, feome ten years sgo he was thrown irom a buggy and suffered from a broken rib or otherwise. A mt-st nseful, benignant, gracious life has closed and the man of God ia now ia the saint's everlasting rest. Be was a Methodist minister. Wil Messenger. Orleans Items. The very sudden change rom very warm to rather cool weather has given us the cold uthe worst one we ever had" and we don't f ?el good. The cotton though very late, lias been opening very rapidly and picking has been progressing very well. So far as we have been able to learn Mr. John Martin sold the first and Mr. Pink Miller the second bale of new cotton in North Brook township. Very soon after Mr. Miller received the money for his, he got on his mule went around and paid up his doctor bills and other little debts. I dare say there is not a more honest harder working man in the county than be. He started in liie a few years ago with absolutely nothing except a smart wife, he now owns a farm, a home on it and is out of debt. His ex ample deserves following. Many of our citizens are attend- ing court this week. Mrs. Henry Lenhardt, several lavs ago, went iuto the cellar and was bitten ou the heel by a snake ; ihe is rapidly improving, and her physician thinks will get well. Augustus, son of Jacob Bess, fell from his mule several days ago and had his right elbow completely dis Itcated aud badly twisted. Dr, Sam, P.Thompson arrived very soon and reduced the dislocation, and the in jury is doing unusually well. We are glad to Rtate that the members of Mr. John Kiser'a family vno were so desperately ill with typhoid fever at our . last writing have all, long ago, recovered. Will, a married sou who moved his fami ly back to the mounlain a8 soou as he was attacked, we are sorry to learn, died. Mr. Houston Bigger ftaff aud family, who were also prostrated with fever have recover od. Two sous of Mr. Wm. Howell are about well, both had very se. "ere attacks of typhoid fever. Ju l'us, who cinie near loosing his life f rom hemorrhage of bowels is yet not very strong, but rapidly iin proving. Mr. George Authony is mffenug from the 8ame disease but is doing qaite well at present. Mrs. Peter Heafner diedron Satu 'ay, Sept. 2Gtb, aud was buried at Bess' Chapel the following day. A vast throng attended her tuueral. Mr. Paul Heartsoe is confined to his room with sciatica. Dr. Sam. P, Thompson ia fearful of having to give up practice for awhile ou account of throat and lung trouble, he hopes, however, he mav not be forced to do so and is still attending his patients. The revenues called cn a distiller near by and captured most ot his 'Apple Jack". S. A. M. Oct. 7th 1891. Weekly Weather Crop JJiilIeSlu. Central Office, Raleigh, N. O. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin issued by the North Carolina Ex periment Station and State Weathis er Service for the week ending Fn day, Oct. 9, 1891, show that the past weet has continued generally favorable, except the last few days, which has been too' cool. Some heavy rains occurred on the 7tb, damaging cotton somewhat, bat was much needed to put laud in good condition for sowing wheat, the greater part of which will be doue next week. A larger acreage than usual will be planted. No reports of frost have been received, though it is probable that light frost oc i curred in the mountainous districts 1 on the 7tb. The yield of cotton f seems even less than expected, some counties report less, than 40 per cent., others about an average crop. The lint seems better this year. The yield of tobacco seems poorer than was estimated ia the proceeding Bulletin, both in quality and color. Note This is the Jat B.illtt n ti be issned this year. Next year it is hoped every county of the State will be represented. The Director takes this opportunity of heartily thanking all correspondents for their valuable assistance during tbo past year. H. B. Battle, Ph.D., Director. U. F. von Uebrmaxx, Assistant. Weather Bureau 'Hob Peak" AakM Some Large Questions and Make $me Strong State ment. The so-called "Progressive Farm er" proscribes "nstead of prescribing proper ways and means for the farmers' relief. Will the Progressive Farmer be so kind as to inform its many good honeet Alliance readers whether or not its Editor or giant proprietor ever did, or never did cultivate one acre of land with their own hands in goobers or any farm products ? ' Let it answer. Will the " Progressive Farmer's" pet Editor and gandy proprietor till the honest ' farmers whether or not they or either of them in their own right or as agent own any real estate in North Carolina or any other state or Dominion, and if not how their interests aro identified with the farmers1 interest more than to eat the bread produced by other hands, and if this ia the only way they are identified with the farmers, why it ia, that they, in the exercise or their Kingly powers lorbid the 'armers to read any other publica tion save the "Progressive Farmer'' or some other paper published un der the garb of Farmers' Alliance. To the Progressive Farmer it is sug gested that the farmers need more iight in the art of their calling than any and all other industries engaged :a by mortal mao, and is one among the honorable callings of the day. Whyj Becaase the farmer teeds ill, clothes all and pays all ; and therefore needs all the light the iffulgence of the "Progressive Farm ?r" together with all light from all other sources. It is thought that the "Progressive Farmer" Col. Polk & Jo., believes that light from other sources would divulge the great secret snare already sot, and there :o re exclude light from the dark. -'Pavilion'' wishes to controvert but lamns all that dares to differ with them. The Pope ofR)me never exercised more arbitrary - power luring his reign. Shall I withhold criticising the "Progressive Farmer1' md like sheets, and the Polks, the Peffers, the Macunes, the Livings tons and the Jerry Simpsons or go on, and incur the displeasure and fiery indignation of a wife, sons and laughter and other goo J men, wom m and children belongiug to the Farmers' Alliance? No Col. Polk & Co., has not the collar around the necks of a'l the people that" he so graphically described in his third party speech at Kings' Mountain sometime age. His non-partiaau appeals have assumed the most gi gantic shrieks lor a new party that have been heard siuca the organi zation of the present dominant party that brought war, suffering devasta cion and death. Beware my friends of the third party movement agitat ed by Polk, Peffer & Co., and do not let them buckle the non-partis an collar around your necks, I am not in f ivor of boycotting. If I were I would certainly boycot the Pro gressive Farmery and would do so because I believe it is working more 3aim to the farmers that read and believe its teachings than any sheet published in the State, It is sug jested that the Alliance, the hon est yeomanry of the country change their leaders ami put sure horses in front, practical Scientific farmers who travel the road themselves. 3uch are the men to teach. Let us not be dead headed by non-partisan politicians. Friend 4R.7' cf King's Mountain struck some sure licks. Strike again, you make good read ing. Wishing the farmers every success with, whose interests mine are ideutical. Respectfully, Bob Peak. Cherryville, N. C. Oct. 12th, 1891. For the Courier Rutherford College.
