The committee appointed by the county alliance to make arrangements for a meeting of nllianeemcn met last "atunlay .and decided that we should begin the j work of reorgan..;!ag the Sub-Al- j i liances as soon possible, and fixed ( i August 7th as the day on which J i we a? e to have a business meeting at Lancaster Court House, >n we are very anxious that ever allianceman in the county shall bo in that meeting. Wo mean ' every man who has ever been a member of the alliance. We said thin is to be a business meeting and we mean it, for it is absolute ly necessary that we get the farmers organized at once. The VirginiaCarolina Chemical Co. already practically controls the fertilizer trade and under present circumstances can make the farmers pay whatever prices they may fix. Now wo expect some of our farmers-allianccmen to say that we can't do anythi ng, that we can't organize, that the farmers will not stick together, that the alliance is done and a lot of stuff that would be discouraging if we a , . . . elui not know better, but we Know there are men all over the county " that know what the alliance has 1 done in the past and what can bo I done again. We whipped the ^ jute trust and tie trust and we j can whip the fertilizer trust if we will just get together. Brethren, we need you at that meeting on August 7th, at 10 o'clock, Bro. e J. C. Wilburu President of y ~ the National alliance, will be t with us and will make it interesting. lie is a good speaker, and others will probably speak. We must fight the fertilizer trust and August 7th is when we expect to perfect our plans and go to work. II We want all alliancemen and farmers who are not members now to join us and help make the s fight. J. F. Nisbet, For the Com. Safe Blowers at Work not far From Wulhall i. Special to The State.
