He loosed him and just then the foreman came up. Mr. Cavender reproached him, probably with strong Knglish adjectives and participles. The negro listened in silence, scratch ing his head, first one side, then the other, until Mr. Cavender was out of breath. Then he rose to the occasion. “Boss, de day you went off my mudder sent me word to come to de meetin’ dat was gotn on eher de ribber, 1 had to go sab, but when I got dar, sah, I got so full of glory sah, dat I forgot all about de dog and de hows, sah, and all carnal tings, sah, until dls moriiln, sah, when de meetin’ broke, sah.

On a recent visit to Ches ter he investigated the cannery started there last yealr with a capital of $15JKX). The owners of the enterprise have found it necessary to increase its capi tal to J$lt»,000. Last year it put up 17,- 000 cans and made no profit, but if it could have canned 170,000 it would have cleared a pretty pile. Cans bought in •mall quantities cost as much as the canned goods will bring In market. By the wholesale they come cheap, costiMg $1,100 a car load.

They are the supreme law from w hich there is no appeal and to which there must be an unquestioning obedi ence. * The Alliance has gone before the world w ith the open profession that itis purely an agricultural and strictly a non partisan organization. With that ap|>eal as iu introduction it has gath ered a mightier membership than any previous agricultural organization has ever mustered into ranks. The con cord of the elbow touch has kept the long, unbroken line in safe and steady march forward, from tiie Atlantic to the Pacific, from the great lakes to the gulf. One heart beats in all this mul titude and there are no faint souls in all its legions. We have conclnded, therefore, that the Alliance is and should be sacred from the intrusion of politicians. Its councils should be kept free from all entangling copartnerships that the pur pose* of its existence may be ever kept la view' and straight ahead. If we were the most ardent advoeate in the State of (’apt.
