THE CROPS AND THE ALLIANCE.
Aurelain Springs, Halifax Co., N. C,
July 3, 1889.
Mr. Editor: As it is raining so
that I can't get to work, I will give you
a few notes on the weather, the
crops and from our Alliance. It has
been raining here almost incessantly
for the past nine or ten days; in fact
we have had very little fair weather
since the first of June. So you may
know the grass is beautiful. Cotton
in this section, where the lands
gravelly or red, is looking well, though
full of grass, and if we could only
have some sunshine to kill the grass,
would do very well now. Corn is
very good, considering the work it
has had, and if nothing happens
further on, will make a good crop.
The wheat crop is better than it has
been for some years; none has been
. t -a . a
tnreshed. in this section vet: some
have lost a good deal, it being in hand
shocks an the wet weather caused it
to sprout. We heard a member of
our Alliance say that he had enough
to make 150 bushels in the sprout;'
oats in some places are good, others
very sorry. Some say the tobacco is
ruined by so much wet, others say
not. We are not much of a judge,
but know one thing: horn worms are
in abundance.
At the last meeting of our Alliance,
June 2 2d, we elected officers for the
ensuin g year. The present inc umben ts
were re elected, with the exception of
the Secretary, of which you have been
informed. All of our officers are very
punctual in attendance and faithful in
the discharge of their duties, and we
feel proud of them. Our President,
Dr. R. A. Patterson, can't be beat.
He is an Alliance man from head to
foot, and while he has a very large
practice as a county physician, he has
not, we think, missed but two or three
meetings in twelve months. While
our last meeting was the most import
ant held during the year, there was
not more than half the members pres
ent. We are not much surprised, as
their quarterage was due.
, We indorse the action of the Bir
mingham Conference and will stand
by anything done by the State Alli
ance, except putting the admission fee
at $1.50. We think it best as it is.
We favor the consolidation of all
the farmers' unions, if it will not cost
us anything, and you say not. The
more the merrier. It was so late, and
so few members at our last meeting, I
could not put in a word for The Pro
gressive Farmer, but hope to do bet
ter next time. Our meetings are held
semi monthly. I reckon I have said
more now than you want to publish,
so will stop by wishing you good luck.
Fraternally,
W. M. Martin, Sec'y.

WAKE COUNTY ALLIANCE.
Raleigh, July 5th, 1889.
Mr. Editor: The Wake County
Alliance convened in regu'ar session
in this city to day, and was called to
order at 10 o'clock a. m., by the Presi
dent, A. C. Green. On roll call 32
Sub-Alliances were found to be rep
resented. After the transaction of the usual
routine business, the Executive Com
mittee made its semi-annual report,
showing a balance in treasury, less
some outstanding claims, of $505.90.
The Alliance then proceeded to the
election of officers for the ensuing
year with the following result : Presi
dent, A. C. Green; Vice-President, S.
Otho Wilson; Secretary, W. G. Crow
der; Treasurer, C. H. Clarke, Lec
turer, D. P. Meacham, Assistant Lec
turer, E. C. Beddingfield; Chaplain,
B. B. Buffaloe; Doorkeeper, S. J. Bag
well, Assistant Doorkeeper, T. J.
Woodall; Sergeant-at-Arms, F. P.
Williams.
The following resolution was passed
and ordered t6 be published in The
Progressive Farmer:
u Resolved, That this Alliance will
not patronize any ginner who uses
jute bagging, and that we respectfully
ask the merchants of Wake , county
not to handle any bagging except that
made of cotton, and we call upon all
Alliances throughout the State to sus
tain this action."
Bro. R. James Powell was chosen
delegate to the State Alliance.
The meeting was large and harmo
nious throughout its proceedings.

THE ALLIANCE IN UNION.
Wolf Pond, N. C, July 8, '89.
Mr. Editor: Your humble corre
spondent had the pleasure of being
present and hearing our highly
esteemed brother Hunter, of Charlotte,
N. C, deliver an address on the 6th
inst., to the people of Trinity and
Liberty Alliance. Now if I were to
attempt to give you a graphic descrip
tion of the eloquence displayed and of
the numerous anecdotes that were
told by him, language would fail me,
but suffice it to say he held the audi
ence for three long hours as if spell
bound, except when aroused to cheers
and peals of laughter by his humorous
anecdotes. He claims himself to be
like the negro's catfish " all mouth."
There is one thing I do know: he is
the right man in the right place, and
he possesses an abundant literary fund
and power of calculation. He is a
man after my own heart. To like
Mr. Hunter would only be to hear
him make a speech. I wish every
farmer in the State of North Carolina
could hear him for themselves.
He seems to be very enthusiastic in
behalf" of the interests of
the agriculture of the State,
and if we had plenty of such men in
the Alliance, the organization would
soon be put in an adolescent condition.
Well might the citizens of Mecklen
burg be proud of such a man, and,
like the ancient philosopher, give us
plenty of such men, and where to
stand, and we will move the world.
I was going to give you some of
the points, but it would require too
much of your valuable space, but the
State Agency Fund was fully and
satisfactorily explained; in fact, no
stone was left unturned. He took up
all the important points m their re
spective turns, and there was no devia
tion or departure until all was fully
told. -
Well, I will close by saying that he
left us late in the evening followed by
our best wishes and strong solicita
tions to give us another call as early
as possible.
I know that all the readers of The
Progressive Farmer would like to
know what impression was made on
the hearers they all went home more
determined to work for the building
up of the organization than ever.
--, - P. R. Belk.
Heathsville, Halifax Co., N. C.
June 20, 1889.
Mr. Editor: As I have never seen
any communication from our Alliance,
No. 900, published in the columns of
The Progressive Farmer, I thought
I would send you a few dots for pub
lication, if you will give them space.
Our Alliance is getting on finely,
with a membership of 37 members, 33
males and four females, and occasion
ally an application for a new member.
We re-organized on our last meeting,
the 8th of June, and now have a good
set of officers for the ensuing year.
Our Alliance favors the adoption of
the consolidation of the Wheel and
Union, and we also endorse the using
of cotton bagging to wrap up our cot
ton this fall, and will not use any jute
bagging at any price. We have a
good deal of rain and the farmers are
somewhat backward; but with a little
good weather we will catch up again.
For fear I will take up too much space
and as it is my first letter for publica
tion I will close for this time.
Fraternally yours,
J. L. Arrington, Sec'y. !
HARRY TRACY IN GOLDSBORO.
A Great Gathering of the Yeomanry
of Wayne County, Friday,
July the 5th.
Condensed from the Goldcboro Daily Argua.
Never before have we witnessAH
such a gathering distinctively of farm
ers of Wayne county and their wives
as was that which assembled in this
city yesterday under the auspices of
me county f armers' Alliance to hear
the address of Mr. Harrv Tracv. of
the Alliance of Texas, who is making
a lecturing tour oi tne states for the
advancement of the grand principles
and the knitting together in closer
harmony of feeling and unision of ac
tion of the noblest organization of
men on the face of the earth to-day or
that ever has or ever will be.
The court house, where the speak
ing took place, was crowded to its
fullest capacity by farmers and a large
number, of our townspeople. Manvof
the farmers' wives, sisters, cousins
and aunts graced the occasion with
their presence and occupied a section
specially reserved for them, and
throughout the entire meeting, packed
as it was, and of long duration, to the
credit of the farmers of Wayne county
be it said, the best of refinement pre
vailed, and the ladies, who, by-the-way,
are, many of them, members of
the Alliance, were not neglected by
Mr. Tracy in his admirable speech,
but were given generous encourage
ment and wise admonition and instruc
tion as to their work and duty in the
proper advancement of the great
order with which they have allied
themselves.
- Mr. Tracy was introduced to the
assemblage exactly at 1 o'clock, in a
brief but very graceful speech by the
President of the County Alliance, Dr.
J. E. Person, and for two hours and a
half the speaker, we do not pat it too
strongly when we say, held that audi
ence spell-bound by his calm, unpreju
diced, statesmanlike portrayal of the
abuses that have crept into our repub
lican form of government by means of
the crystalizing of wealth in the hands
of the few and the growing greed for
gain that causes all patriotism in this
day and generation to revolve around
the inside of a dollar. His elucida
tion of the principles of the Alliance
and his presentation of the remedy
they advance and the easement of the
people and the prospering of the whole
country at once place the Alliance in
the very vanguard of the country's
prosperity and the preservation of our
free institutions. His acume'u is
unprecedented ; his wit is spontaneous
and unparalleled and his powers of
oratory place him at once in the fore
most rank of popular and logical
speakers.
LETTER FROM OREGON.
Mr. Editor: I promised many of
the readers of The Progressive Far
mer a short letter to their home paper,
giving them some idea of the valley
" where rolls the Oregon, and no sound
is heard save its own dashings." Yes,
I'm located in this celebrated valley.
I think one of the finest tracts of
agricultural country anywhere, 50x1 50
miles in extent, both prairie and tim
ber, rich in soil, grass, stock, fruit,
timber, water, mineral and fisheries.
No country I've seen seems to be so
nearly adapted to the numerous and
varied wants of man than here. Cli
mate mild, mercury seldom getting
down to zero in winier or up to ninety
in summer. Summers are delightful,
no scorching hot summer days or
cold, blustery wintry ones; no cyclones
or blizzards at all have ever been
known, nor even a thunder shower.
Study carefully its climatic influences
and you'll see why it is that our cli
mate is so mild on this coast. After
having traveled over Washington
Territory and other States west of the
Rocky Mountains, I am convinced
that no place offers such inducements
as this valley. Only one year ago it
was opened up for settlement by rail
road; now they are coming in by the
hundred. There are some most de
sirable lands here yet to be home
steaded. Improved lands range from
$10 up to $100; unimproved, low.
Staple productions are wheat, oats,
rye, barley, vegetables, fruits and all
the grasses. I've seen whole fields of
wheat average fifty bushels per acre
and other grains a corresponding
number of bushels per acre. The
dairy interests are assuming large
proportions here now, owing to the
abundance of grasses. Always have
plenty of rain here to insure good
crops. Oregon has never had a fail
ure. Salem, the capital, is a lively
town of some 12,000 people, cosmo
politan in make-up. For fear I should
make my letter too long, I'll stop. I
will answer any letter addressed to
me by any reader of The Progressive
Farmer, providing a return stamp be
enclosed. Long live The Progressive
Farmer and the good people of old
North Carolina.
Fraternally,
G. W. Weeks. -
