THE $35 ADVANCE PEB BALE IN ALABAMA. A special from Montgomery, Ala., sayn: General Manager Gaither, of tbe Alliance Exchange, in this city, i pro ceeding in a painstaking and methodical way to advance the farmers money on their cotton in Alabama. What success he will meet with remains to be seen. One thing is certain, he is in dead earnest about thin matter, and is displaying ex traordinary j .energy, shrewdnesM and sa gacity in anHnudertaking of uuch gigantic proportions. He has the money no matter where he got it to advance to the farmers $30 per bale on 500,000 bales, aud all he asks is that tbe farmers hold their cotton for hi ageut. In this weekV issue of the Alliance Uerald, which appear, ed on the street: to-day, is published an important notice addressed to the "alliance wurehousmen,'' to each and every county alliance, to each and every tub-alliaucc, aud to each and every idivindual alliance man thronghout the length and breadth of Alabama, signed by John 13. ilarrin who has recently lecn made manager of the cotton department of the exchange. Mr. Harrii stated that he ix daily receiving more letters than he can answer from! far mers desiring advauces on cotton, and addtt: "I wish to say to all at the same time that when you have cottou to wll, get in lots of 1 00 to .1,000 lah-H. and while yon are biitkiug it, place it where there Is a railroad station agent, and tell this .sta tion agent to write to his general freight agent and give you the through freight rate on the cotton from that particular Ktaiton to Liverpool, and when you have this rate, then I can tell you how much I can pay you ou the middling bants. I will pay for cotton through the nearest bank." Everybody here, outside of tbe Alliance is wouilering where the money come from. r THE NOHTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR. You should attend the State Fair and see Buaines Ageut Worth's Department on the ground, and be convinced a mtl lioad jllar can be x$ved in 1991. Any . farmer will acknow ledge this when he visits the business agent's department and examine what is being done. It is. of much importance to every farm er in North Carolina, whether he be an Alliance man or not, to x'uit the State Fair, see the exhibit of Business Agent Worth, and they will be more than con vinced that the Alliance i doing a great -work for the farmers of this State. In tbe purchase of farm supplies many thou sand of dollars was saved the past year, and with money in hand the farmers can this year save more than a million dollars in buying for cah through the business agency. Mr. Worth will have a full line of sam ples and price to fannero. He will have headquarters in tbe main building on tbe Fair grounds from Oct. 13th to 18th, and farmers attending the fairskould hunt up headquarters of the Alliance and they will see bow the Alliance is doing practical work for the fsnners. With a good crop and cheapest railroad excursions, every farmer in the State will find it money well invested to attend the Fair at least ome day, and by all means let your boys go with too, so they may see the new machinery" and field crops. It will do them good and be of service to them in after years. Fanners make their children discontented with farm life by keeping them betne all tbe time, and a soon as they get large enough they leave the farm. Carry yoor boys to the State Fair and let them see that it is aa honor to be a good fanner. Tber wiUmoretlun make up what you spend for thern before the year is passed by working harder. , Progressive fanners ana Alliance men will go to tbe fair and carry their boys. j Besides tbe real value in dollars tq the farmers, they ought to take a little rest sd enjoy themselves, and no better place ana time presents useu inaa tne. cnaie Fair of ll.-"A ITorkins Farmer U Raleigh, N.
