He is a large farmer and has made his calling a success. He believes the farmer has a right to organize as well as any other calling and he will convince you that it is necessary. He will convince you that orgaiza tion is of more importance to the Teat toiling masses than the eleva tion of any. I will accompany Bro. Parker and hope to see my brother farmers turn out in full force. Leander Query. for the upbuilding of our comMONWEALTH. When this editorial reaches the reader, the National election will liave been determined. Our people may now turn their attention to the more important duty of bringing to pass better conditions in North Carolina. To this end, we offer to direct their attention to certain measures which they may urge with reasonable hope of success before the General Assembly soon to convene. In the first place, first always, we have the best opportunity in our history to increase the funds, length n the terms and improve the equip ment of the free schools. Wo say the opportunity is ripe, because the party in control is bound by every consideration of honor to provide for the elementary education of the school children. To fail m light of the pledges made in the campaign for the amendment will bo surely disastrous. The school term may be lengthened nly by providing a larger fund. To this end we must all endeavor to ob tain a large direct appropriation in Addition to the general tax which, ve h ope, may be at least slightly in creased. Every school in the State ihould be run four months ; and there ought to be schools sufficient to reach all the people. The equipment of the schools must also be improved. The equip ment from head to foot. It may be 5oo much to ask that the school sys tem be taken out of politics ; but it h not too much tu demand that neither tho place of committeeman, Superintendent nor teacher to given an party spoils. Our schools have suffered enough at the hands of par tisan leaders. Let us one, and all, put an end to it. This is just as im portant, if not more so, than an in urease of appropriations. In tho second place, we may all urye the enactment of an election law that will give equal representa tion to each of the political parties, representation authorized by tho parties themselves. There is now to excuse for a law that provides for than this. A party that fears a fair election is a dangerous party. 1'opulur government is conditioned "Pm a free biillot and a fair count ; vlien fraud begins, the government 1'0-ins to fall. There is some prospect of institut ing a system of legalized primaries. This system has its good and its bad Hints. After the experiment in the Mutter of the Senatorship, we dare y the dominant party will be re iuctant to have any more to do with Kimaries than possible. Give the State a fair law, and we can get along witnoun them. , r . . ': In the third place, the agitation for a ref orniatoryr with which the North Carolina Baptist- State Con vention has had no little to do, has reached a point when it must be heard.. We believe the General As sembly will provide such an institu tion. , The .theory of punishment in a Christian land is that its purpose is to cure as well as to prevent. It is high time that North Carolina were doing her best to save her way ward youth from the degrading in fluence of the hardened prisoners in the State's prison. In this connection we may suggest that our entire prison system might be revised. If wo could save the in stitution at Raleigh from the spoils men, it would be a great step for ward. We may at least hope that the present system will be improved. Finally, we are reminded by the recent strike that we ought to begin to provide against tho contingencies of our new industrial life. As a remedy against oppression by em ployers and violence and wantonness by employees, a tentative arbitra tion law might wisely be enacted. Capital and labor both have rights ; and it ought not to be necessary for either of them to fight each other for their rights. A measure providing for arbitration somewhat as mat ters between persons and the cor porations are now adjudicated by the Corporation Commission it seems to us, would be eminently wise. But we have a more pressing neces sity in respect to the factory child ren. Wo must pass a law providing for the punishment of any parent who hires out a child of twelve years of age or less in a factory, and, like wise, inflicting a penalty upon the man who employs such a child. We desire to do everything possible to encourage the commercial activities of our men of means ; but we would rather give up the hope of prosperity than have the employment of chil dren of tender age to continne. Now, let the reader go over these paragraphs. Is it too much for him to ask of his representative? Can he do his duty and not ask him to favor these measures? It will be a simple thing the next time you see the representative of your county, or.pne of his friends, to say that you very much desire that tho largest possible direct appropriation shall be made for tho public schools; that you are anxious for a liberal election law in North Carolina for tho sake of honor and morality and liberty ; that you would rejoice in the estab lishment of a reformatory for youth ful criminals; that you hope the State's prison may receive his earnest attention ; that the children may be taken out of the factories and put into school. It is in this way that our people are expected to govern themselves. They can get what they want by asking for it. We can have in North Carolina the best State in the world if we will only work for it. These are steps that must be taken if we would move in that direction. Biblical Recorder. AGRICULTURE'S BENEFIT FROM MANU FACTURES. . Ail over the cotton States cotton mills are building by the hundred. North Carolina has now nearly 300 cotton factories and is manufactur ing as much cotton as she produces. With one solitary exception the North Carolina mills are using white labor exclusively. Every mi 11 means a village of houses for employesy and these employes are almost entirely taken from tho farms. They are taken .from food producing to food consuming. It is evident, then, that with renewed ability to-purchase, from getting better wages than they could on the farms, these 'employes will be profitable customers to the farmers, and will need larger amounts of food of all kinds than they can as yet readily get. While growing the staple to supply the mills with material to manufacture, it is the opportunity for the cotton farmer to vary his cropping and grow a good deal of the food supplies the factory villages need. Not only potatoes and other vegetables but beef and mutton and fowls and but ter and milk. Every new mill makes new home markets for good pro ducts, and they will soon be reach ing out all over the State for better beef, milk and butter, and the wise farmer should take advantage of the changing conditions in the cotton States and profit thereby.

FOR A FAIR ELECTION LAY?. 4 4The Kentucky legislature, last week, passed a new election law and repealed the Goebel election law", which had been so severely criti cised. The new election law is non partisan and was endorsed by . the caucus of the Democratic members of the legislature, although some Republican papers had declared that the Kentucky legislature would not pass it. It is to be hoped v that poli tics in Kentucky will hereafter not be so hot and bitter." ' The above we clip from tho Chat ham Record. We hope the Record will now join us in working for an equally fair election law in North Carolina. It can no longer be said that one-sided laws are necessary to maintain the supremacy of the white race.in the eastern counties, and our next General Assembly ought to fol low the wise example of the Ken tucky legislature. FOR ALLIANCEMEN. Let us look carefully over the field, talk it over, what work of a local character is most needed by our Alli ance right here in our own neighbor hood, to make it a success for our selves and our neighbors. How about the crops of the year? What have we learned? What changes should we make next year? Can we "sell together" to good advantage? What about fertilizers for fall seeding, trees and plants from reliable nur series at wholesale prices? Our local roads, our local schools, &c, &c. What plans shall we make to get new members, to interest the young people? Shall we have a series of Alliance socials, an Alliance contest, &c, &c. Let us resolve to do and then do it. Farmer. FAVORS INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM. It is doubtful if any measure now being discussed would be of more ad vantage to the people if enacted into law than the initiative and referen dum. In a republican form of gov ernment the people are supposed to be supreme, but past experience proves that miles of petitions to Con gress frequently fail to bring an inch of needed law, while voluminous remonstrances sometimes fail to stifle vicious legislation. If the people could have a chance to vote thereon probably at least 9o per cent would favor the immediate passage of laws stablishing postal savings banks and a parcels post, while undoubtedly a majority would favor throttling the ship subsidy bill. The initiative and referendum is not a partisan measure, and all grangers should refuse to vote for a Congressional candidate who will not pledge to work and vote for its es tablishment into law. The people should be the arbiters of their own needs rather than humble suppliants at ears that too often are deaf. S. B.

Weak or Diseased Kidneys Poison tke: Blood, Break !Dbw ; the Entire System and Bring on Bright's Disease,-: ; r To Prove What the Great Kidney-Remedyy Swamp-Root, Will do for YOU, all our Eeaders Hay Have a Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free by Mail. , You know 'what happens to a sewer when it becomes clogged, don't you? Do you know what happens to the human system when the kidneys be: come clogged? They are unable to throw out the impurities from the blood and become infected with poisons ; they decay, fall apart and pass out in the urine ; the blood, un filtered, carries the poison all over the system, and if not checked death follows. The kidneys are the sewers of the human system. Laboratory Where Swamp-Boot, the World Famous Kidney Bemedy, ia Prepared. When your kidneys are not doing their work, some of the symptoms which prove it to you are pain or dull ache in the back, excess of uric acid, gravel, rheumatic pains, sedi ment in the urine, scanty supply, scalding irritation in passing it, obliged to go often during the day and to get up many times during the night to empty the bladder ; sleep lessness, nervous irritability, dizzi ness, irregular heart, breathlessness, sallow, unhealthy complexion, puffy or dark circles under the eyes ; some times the feet, limbs or body bloat, loss of ambition, general weakness and debility. When you are sick, then, no mat ter what you think the name of your disease is, the first thing you should do is to afford aid to your kidneys by using Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to Nature, for swamp Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is known to medical science. Perhaps you are in doubt about your kidneys and want to find out. j Here's a simple test; Take from your urine passed when ; you arise in the morning about two ounces ; place; in a glass or bottle and let it stand for twenty-four hours. If upon exami. nation you find any settling or sedi ment, if-it is milk or . cloudy, or if particles float about in it, disease has gotten a foothold in I your kid neys and Nature is calling for help.. If you have the; slightest symp tom of kidney or bladder trouble, 6r if there is a trace of it in your fam ily history, you would profit by tak ing Swamp-Root every now and then as a preventative, -and thus abso lutely forestall kidney and bladder troubles. . The famous new discovery, Swamp Root, has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work, in private practice, among the helpless too poor to purchase relief , and has proved so successful in every case, that a special arrangement has been made with The Progressive Farmer by which j all of its readers who have not al ready tried it, may have a sample bottle sent absolutely free by mail ; also a book telling all about kidney and bladder diseases, and containing ; some of the thousands of testimonial ; letters from men and women re ! claimed to lives of happiness and use fulness by the means of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy. ! Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is so remarkably successful that our readers are advised to write for a free sample bottle, and to be sure and state that they read this gener ous offer in the Raleigh Progressive Farmer when sending your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. If you are already convinced that Swamp7Root is what you need, you can purchase the regular fifty-cent and one dollar size bottles, at the drug stores everywhere.
