CHEROKEE IN SESSION.
Mubphy, N. C.
Mb. Editob: The farmers of old
Cherokee county celebrated the 4th
day of July in holding their County
Alliance meeting. The brethren dis
cussed with great earnestness many
topi;s in which every farmer in these
United States are much interested.
Unity and brotherly love prevailed in
all our deliberations This principle
of the Alliance will ultimately and
triumphantly bring the farmers to a
glorious victory.
We elected the following officers
for the ensuing year: A. B. Wells,
President; J. T. Patterson, Vice-Presi-dent;
H. B. Elliott, Secretary; W. P.
Farmer, Treasurer; W. McRhey, Lec
turer; Rev. J. W. La wing, Chaplain,
A. W. Davidson, Door keeper; John
Wood, Assistant Door-keeper; M.
Barton, Sergeant at Arms; J. T.
Hayes, Business Agent; J. A. Kinsey,
delegate to State Convention.
Fraternally,
H B. Elliott.
AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Always be systematic and thorough.
Arrange supports for climbing
plants.
Crown corn and clover as con
querors. Keep the fence corners clear of
weeds this month.
Keeping the field clean is better
than making it clean.
Never forget that pigs in clover
enjoy themselves and grow.
A wise farmer profits by his mis
takts as well as his successes.
Don't let the wheat stand too long
you know it shells badly.
Oil, and a wrench, are cheap pre
servatives of mowers during haying.
Don't "lay by" the corn until
obliged to get at the haying harvest
As soon as a crop is off put in an
other ; plow up before weeds go to
seed.
It is useless to expect a large crop
of plump oats on land lacking fertility.
Remember the team enjoys the
shade as well as you while resting
these hot days.
An occasional scattering of wood
ashes around the sweet pea vines will
help them.
The practical farmer, so far from
disdaining book knowlege, will read
all he can of the writings of profes
sional agriculturists.
Sow Hungarian or Millet or plant
some early corn for fodder, if you
have any vacancies of considerable
size. If small spots, sow turnips.
Don't forget the oil the next time
you go to town. It don't pay to
make trips to town often, during hay
ing, or any time for that matter.
The bale of cotton that brings only
,$40 into local circulation as a bale of
cotton, would bring in $100 or more
as a bale of calico or cotton stripes.
A crop of oats cut when the berry
is in the milky stage and cured, is
excellent for stock and serves as an
agreeable addition to the regular diet
in winter.
It is evident from the opinions ex
pressed in the discussion now going
on about the silver question, that the
great majority of the people want
silver money.
One essential qualification in the
boy who works on a farm is that he
shall have a love for animal life, and
be able to tell intuitively when an
animal is sick.
Do not dose yourself or your stock
with medicine for every little ill.
Diet and rest- Sleep, and a moder
ately empty stomach, are the best
medicines in the world.
Keep the farm-house in good repair
if onlf a sod house. or board shanty.
This is necessary to comfort and con
venience, which may be secured even
in the humblest dwelling.
Grass should be cut for Say at the
proper time, and that is just as it is
done growing. It has then acquired
all its natural strength and aroma, and
will not become harsh and brittle
from overripeness.
In South Carolina with but few
exceptions perfect stands of cotton
are reported throughout the State
The rice crop, while needing rain in
some sections, is in better condition
than at the same time last year.
Better farming is to be secured by
more intelligent effort on the part of
the individual. Better laws can be
had only through the organized efforts
of the producers at the caucuses, con
ventions and polls.
Agriculture and manufacturing
should go peacefully hand in hand to
secure the highest development of a
country, an A. tne enorts of political
demagogues to array one against the
other should be promptly defeated.
When you have mowed the weeds
from inside the road fence, go outside
and mow, or you will not get the full
benefit of your work. Burn them
when dry. Better still, keep them
so short that there wil not be enough
yp to pay for burning.

in saying that nothing but the want of moun
