Best Alliance Meeting in Ten Years.
Messrs. Editors: I am glad to re
port that the Farmers' Alliance is
gaining ground in Alamance Coun
ty. Three new Subs have been or
ganized this spring, ancT some of the
old ones have been greatly built up.
- On Saturday, f July 11th, the Coun
ty Alliance met in the court-house in
Graham; and it was one of the best
and most pleasant meetings we have
had in ten years.
Officers for the coming year were
elected and also delegates to the
State meeting which convenes Au
gust 11th. Many questions of vital
importance were talked over and I
prophesy that we will have the best
State meeting this year ever yet
held. H. W. CATES,
Lecturer.

Plowing Without Backbands.
Messrs. Editors: In answer to
Mr. A. R. Killingsworth, I will say
that I have on the back-traps, hip
straps, and cruppers, when removing
the back-bands for a negro to plow
the team. Hip-straps hold up the
traces for turning better than back-
bands would without them. I also
use a swivel clevis that holds the
double-tree straight out, instead of
its dropping down in the usual way
when turning. ED. J. BEALE.
Educational Directory
Editorial Comment: It would
seem that an ignorant ' plow hand
might want to hold the plowj-out of
the ground by shortening the hip
straps, if the backbands were re
moved and he could not use them.
Unnecessary weight on the hips, of
course, would not be so serious as on
the backbone, since the horse is not
so constructed as easily to carry
weight on Its long, horizontal back
bone. It Is presumed that in trying
to be brief, Mr. Beale did not ex
plain that he forbid his plow hands
to shorten the hip-straps. If this
presumption is wrong, we should
gladly stand corrected.
There will be some one at every
Farmers Institute to receive your
renewal or new subscription. Keep
him busy if you can.
One on God's side is a majority.
