TH1 Halliboro, N. C. Mr. Editor: I send you a short sketch of my work: in the First ditriet. After leaving Rtleizh December 2d. Bro. B 11. Suite lecturer, and I went to Gre nville, Pitt county, on th' . i. where we found an audience of repre sentative Ailiancenitn mid intelligent outsider. Your s-rribo opened the otmpngn, diseumg our troubles and their legiri mate s r.ir.-es for one hour. Tntn enme that troja. in the ra?ks. and if all th Bells (and belles if you plmse) in our Order riig out with as true, certain a sound as our honor-ible State Lecturer, then n a fi ck we feel no hesitation in following the Bell in the led. He dis eussed t!ie Alli ineo demands in that able, mi issumable m inner tliat inkes all opposition dred to take uo tie gauntl'-tso deliautly throwii(iowii t their fret by every il hayfed'T " oti the hning". After Bro B"ll. followed in a few "appropriate remarks, ih'it eutsi i ch unpion of the Sub Treasury plan, Col. H irry Skinner. Brothers Jone and Cherry then took us to R-thel, and -vro always an preeiate such thoughtful, brotherly kindtifvas from pnih true AlliAneemen aw Bros, .loncsftnd (berry, of Bethel. The 41 found us at WiLHamston, Martin o.inty, where we ipoke f r severed hotirs to wmo of the beet Alii a.ncemen in old Mart in. Gn Saturday, the 5th, xtq talked Alliance, doctrine to the people of Vfaslvngtcfi county at the county seat. Plymouth. Monday, the 7th, wm a rAiny day. and it was pat noon when we arrived by steamer at thnt historic old Edenton. The board of county commissioners and also the boorfi of education were in session, and as the rain continued we decided not to plant our artillery on the rampints of old Chowan, but lay on our oars ti ll next day. Accordingly early next morning we started to cover a distance of thirty miles, by private toareyance, over frozen roads, in order to reach Gateaville by 11 o'clock. goon after our arrival, that business hustler, S. O. Wilnon, drore in, and hia genial smilo made our hearts glad, for with thia reinforcement we felt able to successfully storm any pluto cratic monopolistic castle in the world, much less in eastern North Carolina. We gave the brethren a good warm ing up, as we did at all plaees. We remembered with sadness when in Gatosville, that it was here our lamented Bro. W. A. Darden, fell be tween the furrows with the harnetss on. j May v e all be as true ! u o went to Winton on the 9th and spoke to a goodly number of staunch Alliaiicenien. We talk the Business Agency in every Alliance. From Winton, Bro. Bell and Wil son detourel by Norfolk, while your scribe llo t d down the i howan on rhe si earner Lota, towardsoiirriext bivouac at Hertford, Perquimans county. We j li ul a very pleasait time at this plnre; j found the people very much alive to the great work on whien re were try ing to turn the light. On Saturday, the 12th, we promul trated Allianeeism at Elizabeth City, Pasquotank county, till nearly sunset, and retired iu gxd ordr feeling that much good was done. Monday, the 14th, we met the eider prising citizens of old Camden, led by hat old war horse, Bro. Boushall, and after speaking and working several hours, e trailed for Snowden, whence we "tapped the gritM to Currituck court house. be most eastern court house in the Siate. But let me sny that in Currituck the Alliance is a live issue, represented by lire men, who h io enough "gravel in their craw v to stand by what they undertake to the last, ditch. Now the blue waters having stopped our eastward progress, we involun tarily exclaim: A !ua ultra," and reversing our steps to Edentou we sT'Hrate, Bro Bell to visit Tyrrell, Dare and lly de, Bro. Wilson to Raleigh, ivnd I to -Washipgton. I spoke at Washington about two and a hl hours. There wano upeaker before nf.r after me, and like tne net ting hen that tried to cover twenty-five goose eggs. I just spread myself. On the lSih I reached homo, aa older and I hope a wiser man. I find a grt wrk to be done in this district, but I find willing hands and honest hearts to do it if properly in formed and enthused. God rant it mav be well done! Our people are enring out fr light. Good speaker are iu demand. They are listened to with astonishing pvin':e, eagerae. and euthu-nasm for hours in succession and in Any are convinced, as nver he fov, i.ht. tlie Alliajn'e is the sine qua )ion of this age of our country and ail g. to tj.jr ho'Tie.s uore determined to rTorm t his goveri;m-nfc and rescue In r leop'e from the grasping avari e of th plnroeratic money goiis that are 'throttling us to the death.

SPRAYING FRUIT I-1 M.."-'." CL i?'"'r--J.-j-u'i.vi'wv.turi.,'tI,'V'W 'rn mutinj.ipu i ti i,in, miia -i . This illustration shows the method generally adopted by the n.osr progres sive fruit men for the protect. on of th ir crops from ineeu- and fungus Spray ing has l.K'Come so universally recognized as a part of the farm work that no apologv is neeesitf-ry for hringiisg the matter again to the attention of our read er-. Expert f nUtinologists estimate that the annual damage to the fruit !rop in the United Sint. alone amounts to ruindreds of millions of dollars. Bbght, rot, mildew, rust, and insects, are alarmingly on the increase and have b, carne the bane of farm, garden and orchard. But science, always tlie hand maiden of man, has kut pace with the increased virulence of these di-eace, rmd we now have .t our command very efficient and by no means cosily lemedies for all these peeta Lent blight, pear scab, potato ro, and all forms of fungus dis eases cm be overcome by sprajing with borai nuxture, or amm nical carbon ate of copper All forms of insjct J'fe c m be destroyed by spraying with fkrsenit or kerosene emulsion. It is ef the greatest, irnjiort.ar.fe that the work bs done at the right time, and in the p toper way. The Field Force Tump Co , of lekport, N. Y., have published a?ry itrucave manual on this subject which (!onVaics valuable inform S ion, together with formulas, recipes, etc., which will b? sent free on application. It mizht bo added tht the spraying fump8 mude by this com p -my are considered the best in the market, and are lighly reci'mmended by the directors of the rf-veral S'ate expemijent stations, aa practical, cheap, durable and efficient. Study tip on tin Mibjeot, and if .f ou have but a few vines or tree it wdl pay you to spray them. The estimated gain from judicious prating amounts to over 4C0 per cent. BEAUFORT COUNTY MEETING. Aurora, N. C. Mr. Editor.- The County Allianee met with oar Alliance, No. V277, last Thursday, fclie l-4th, a per former an nounoemeju. We ha i a gl ri u meet ing, the rsmz that Insever iiren in th s county. As you will liavo a lull report from The county secretary, 1 till not givo full derail. There fa not a rumple iu the whole procecoings. Iv was mor- like a lore east than any thing the writer ever beheld, not that we he.d anything at all to eat during the meeting, though we met: about 10 o'clock in trie mo. mug and continued in semiou uti ttie (t3 small hours of the evening Not a delegate left thi hidl ai.l, ncirily C"iir.)''l until we auj urnrd. Every oneseernrHi to understand what we met for ud went at the business in a busine like maniier. Everything wf;s transacted with unity. There tras not a single opposition to any resolution that xa offered. I tisree iu toto with Bro. Cutdjen, of Ed 2ec0m.be in regard to turning tlu Alliance over to any po litic p.trt.y. I know that brother Carr isau h "iiorable, liigh minded gentleman and a worthy -brotner of the Farmers' Alliance and loyal to the cause, tor i have been in the same hall with him and heard him advise his brothers to pursue a course that Avas detrimental to his person d interest when a man can do that y ou can put your finger on him. I had occasion only a few days ago to viit our county seat and I came back home almost sick and would no doubt have been in bed by this time had it not been for The Pkogrkssive Farmer, National Economist and our harmonious county meeting which made a perfect cure, and I was never in better spirits in my life. Go into a political den and draw out the lions and you would almost imagine that you could see the very worst form or pocial equality between the raees Why the old political whip is popped so hard that it deafens one so that he can hardly stand on his feet, hut brethren let me say it has the opposite el?ect on me now to nh it it used to have when I wa.s a partisan Democrat, and I tuink I am a. better man now than I w then. It makes mo almost happy when I read the review of the Kansas Congressmen and see how square -they stand on the platform, i. e., the Oeila platform. And the Lion. Thus E Watson, God bless his patriotic heart, I feel like I would to grap his hand, for I know he feels for s u ff e r in g h u n a t u ty . Brothers when you hear a una say he is afraid the Alliance is g ing to breik up the Democratic party, 1 de sire you to take his measure: don't jut get his length, but get his full size, and if you are not a stronger partisan than you are an Alliancetnan I will abide - the decision. Any member knows according to our constitution we cannot be partisans, and God forbid we should, for that is what is the mat ter with the country to-day. And I appeal to the patriotic "brethren whether Democrats. Republicans or Prohibitionists, stand firm by the Alli ance if it breaks up all the partisan political parties. It has almost come to the point now that a man's eligili bility to office depends on his financial ability to dupe the masws of the people. It has been asserted that the Governor of North Carolina belongs to one of the largest trusts iu the State, i. e , the cotton plaid trust, not that I know. I know one thing all we buy here of his make comes from some Northern market instead of coming direct from his factory. I know another thing, that if I buy a stove from a member in Greensboro, N. C, the freight i $3 here. The same stove from any Northern market would not cost kalf as much freight. North Carolina has been under Democratic rule lonj enough it looks to me like to adjust matters. If you begin to talk to par TREES AND VINES. tisans about our troubles tlie' will tell von that the Demoeraiio pM'ty hs not had control. The fact is we all know the representatives of all the political parties re voted for by the sameldnd of constituents and they all know that they Are parsing laws to oppress their confluents then if they were honest, I don't care what their politics is they wond do something to relieve us. Brothers. I admonish you sgaiu to stand by the Allan'-. In-' il united we stand, divided we fait.' How about a man' eligibility to pay taxes and defend his country are those who have not the property qualifica tions to put them in position to be legalized to cause the balance to pay tnbute to them iu the nay of usury, , tV.r it has' be-av sid that there is now go. COO ex eoluiers in the poor house that will show you st a glance, who fiht the country's battles. The Congressman elect from thi dis trict has been the people's choice for a long time and till the organization of the farmers Alliance the attorneys gerrymandered him out everv time, and I was very sorry to see that he voted for Crisp for speaker. Though I know lie was put in as a Democrat, he would never have got there but for the Alliance. Brother. te are hugely interested in you. and expect 3011 to show j'our colors, for you knov as well as I that partisan Democracy took very little etcck in your electio 1 and none in your nomination, aud lots of Repub licans voted for you because you were an Allianceinan, and we know that you know how w. are oppressed and we expect you to try to relieve us. Calamity IIowlir. STICK TO THE ALLIANCE. Warren County, N. C. Mr. Editor: As I have not written ai y t h i n g f or ou r d ea r o 1 d organ, Til E Progressive Farmer, iu some time, I thought I would write a few lines once more. I will first give you a little of my experience a3 an Al ianceman. I have been a member of the order now about four years, and I h-ive never missed a regular meeting, rain or shine. I am always there at tlie regular meet ings. Whenever I am elected a dele gate to the County Alliance I ?.l frays go. Brethren, are you true to the Alliance cause? Brother, don't sfay away from your Ah m nee. and wait for the other brethren to do your part of the work that is to he done, and then complain, that the Alliance is not doing anything. It mar do you good to be there. Surely it will do you no harm. There is a wori for ou to do, and no one else can do it for you. It is high tune you were up and doing. If your meetings are not interesting and things don't go tc suit you, don't blame any one but yourself. If the brethren would all at Lend the meetings, and would work and act together, great good could he accomplished. Brethren, when you are appointed on a committee, be prompt iu your ac tions, when your Alliance put? confi dence enough in you to elect you as a delegate tothn County Alliance, go, by all means, and take an active part; rain orfdiine, be there, and we cau ac complish almost anv thing, if will j only be true to the order. Pre? s on wara to victory., -uet me vniaficr; cause and the world know that you can be depended upon; don't listen to outsiders, for they would rejoice to have you come out of the Alliance. Work for the Alliance cause, talk for it; let us coine together in next. No vember and think: of the thousands of poor farmers and farmers' wives and daughters, and the many paupers in the land, and cast your vole accord ingly. Brethren, I will say once more, be true stick stick together. God bless Col. L. L. Polk, Bro. Ramsey and the Farmers' Alli&acs. yratemally, J. F. P. H., Ssr Smith Orsek Farmers Alliance. RESOLUTIONS BY CABARRUS COUNTY ALLIANCE. Mr. Editor : At ite meeting on Jan. 14th, 1S91. Cabarrus County Farmers' Alliance adopted the following resolu tions: Whereas, An address issued from Raleigh something more than a month ago, signed by a committee of nine per sons, four of whom are Alliancemen, Mr. Ed Chambers Smith being chair man of the committee, has been circu lated by the partisan press of the State as retting forth the position of the Alliance iu this State; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the County Alli ance of Cabarrus county, assembled in its quarterly session, Januiry 14th, 1S02, hereby emphitieally disown any connection with or responsibility for said addresser contents of the same. That this resolution be published in Tnrc Progressive Farmer. Wiif.rias, The free coinage Act which was before our last national legislature, aud passed the Senate and is now pending the action of Congress, does not make silver available for the payment of obligations containing the oid clause; and whereas, the power to do so is expressly conferred upon Con gress by that article of the Constitu tion authorizing it to "coin money and regulate the values thereof;' and whereas, this very point has been de cried by the Supreme Court of the United States as constitutional, as may be een in ases of Knox vs. Lee and Parker vs. Davis, (12 Wallace;) and whereas, the obligations of the county are undergoing a transformation, pass ing to forms of obligations psyable in gold, as may be seen by testimony be fore the coinage committee during the session of last Cougross, in testimony of such men as Mr. Endicott, of Bos ton. President of one of the largest sivings banks hi Massachusetts, (p 60.) Mr. Sdward Harper, Treasurer of Harvard College, (p. 64,) Geo. E. Iighton, bank director of St. Louis, (P. Hi).) 0. S. Smith. President of New York Chamber of Commerce, p. 141.) Jno. Hareen Rhoado, rp. 149.) Francis G. New lands, Vh-e President of Na tional Silver Associat ion, (p. 04;) there fore be it Resolved, That ihe attent on of our Congressmen aud Senators be hereby dirrcted to this matter, and they be repiested to use every endeavor to have an amendment containing a legal tender clause mseitod in the bill for free coinage, which will make silver available for obligations containing the gold flause 2. That eupjr of uh rt.sohition be forwarded to our Congressmen and S-m&tors. and that it be sent to the Rational Economist and The Pkogrk ssivk Farmer for publication. Whereas. The obligations of the eople of tlie Suite are in many cases v special contract being made payable in gold; and whereas, this works in junously and unjustly against the great mars of the people; therefore be it Resolved. That we, the County Alli ance of Cabarrus county, assembled January 14th, la'32, do request our State Alliance to call attention of the next legislature to the matter and en deavor to have the! ue every legiti mate means forbidding public obliga tion hereafter to be made to be payable otherwise than simply in money, or that negotiability be denied to securi ties payable otherwise than simply in money. Rev. H. G. Gillasd, Sec'y Cabarrus Co. Alliance. HALIFAX COUNTY SOLID. Resolved, That the County Alliance of Halifax county do hereby give our most hearty endorsement to the Geala platform adopted by the National Alliance in 1803, in every particular, and that we will support every demand included therein. 2. That we will support no man for any national legislative office who can not get squarely and unreservedly on this p'atform of principles. 3. That these resolutions be published in Tiik Progressive Farjier, Scotland XcJc Democrat and Roanoke News. E. A. Thorn, A. A. White, Committee. ORANGE COUNTY MEETING. Mr Editor: At a regular meeting of the Orange County Farmers's Alli ance, held on the 14th of January, IS'2, the following preamble and reso lutions were unanimously .adopted: Whereas,' Different partisan papers of the State nave attempted to misrep resent and slander the good names of our national President .and other lead ers of the Farmers' Alliance and In dustrial Union: and as we are led to believe that it is intended to break down our order, and an insult to every member of our organization, and to every liberty lover of the whole Union ; therefore Resolved, That we condemn in the strongest term3 or language their course as unpatriotic and dishonorable, and intended to defeat the purpose of our order. 2. That we believe .President Polk and his co laborers to be patriotic gen tlemen, and the superiors of any who have indulged in any f-uch abuse. 3. That we heartily renew our alle giance to our demands as set forth in the Ocala platform, and that we do en dorse the action of our State Alliance at its last meeting in regard to eaid de mands. 4. That we mot heartily endorse the action of the National meeting in re electing our tried and trusty cham pion, L, L. Polk, to the highest office in our order. i. That wo hereay pledge our entire zeal, and all our efforts to our cause, and to our whole demands, and especi ally the Sub-Treasury plan. 6. That we here declare that we will not vote for or support any mnu, men or party at any election from the pres ent time on, who does not stand firmly, squarelv and flat-footed upon the whole demands as laid down in the Ocala platform, and endorsed at Indi anapolis unanimously by the National Farmers' Alliance and Tn.ius-trial Union. 7.

THE RELIEF FUND. WfcSTillSSTER. N. ('. Mr. Editor: In discussing the vari ous plars for relief suggested in your valuable paper, the argument was ad vanced that every county shoald keep its own relief fund. One brother said that if we make it a State affair there will bo ninety eight chances to ono against a county fund. Another, single county man, said it is as " broad as' it is long." I contended, and so did others, that the advantages would be much greater by having the whole State in one common fund, or insur ance company. Take ten cents per member as a basis, a eounty with fivd hundred members would have each yejar the sum of two hundred dollars to give relief with, which would pay for two ordinary horses. Take the Statei as a whole, the amount would be near $10,000 per annum; the weak county would share alike with the stronger one, and stand some chance of getting something, for it is not prob able there would be an accident in every county at once, and the drawing from one county to .mother would bind the ties of brotherhood stronger and stronger until we would be one great family, anxious and willing to help each other every time there is a call or time of n -eel. If we can get this insurance company established, it will be the cherpe-t and strongest ono on earth. As ro the bt dans for formulating this company, I think tho Executive Committee or Committee on Good of the 0' der could tet up some kind of plan and send it down to tho Sub Alliances and h t then discuss the matter and be ready Tor bringing it before the State Alliance. So with fear and trembling, ... t this may find its way into the waste basket. l am, Yours fratemnHv, H. C. Briggs. COLUMBUS COUNTY. Resolved, That we, the Columbus County Alliance unnni.iiou-Iy re en dorse our entire St ite and National demands, and hereby instruct eur dele gate to the District Conference to stand square upon them. regnrdles of any pa rty afli i iation. Toe proverbial apathy and neglect will account for a temporary falling off, but a far better time is evidently fore-shadowed. J. F. H. S. II.
