At President Polk’s office in Wash ington, says the Progressive Farmer, of which President Polk is editor, “it is reported that the growth of the Alliance has been too rapid to keep track of during the past month.” There has been a net increase of 400 members in the Alliance The Returns Not Favorable for High Rate of Yirld-The Quality High and the Fibre of Good Col or—The Aver age Yield.

There are two important bodies in “glorious, aggressive and successful work” with nine thousand new mem bers of the Order, fourteen counties have been organized in California; an increase of one thousand niemliers is reported from South Dakota, West Virginia is credited with 10,000 new members, and of Ohio it is said that “the Buckeye State heads the list” with thirteen new counties organized with 170 Sub-Alliances and an in creased membership of10,000. Missis sippi is credited with a net increase in membership of over one thousand since December 1, 1890, and the growth of the Order in Louisiana is put down at 500 members.

Kennedy was 18 years old. He carried a nnuket for two years, and returned home to find the fami ly fortunes broken. Uncomplain ingly he wont to work as a day la borer on his father’s plantation. After what might lie termed an ap prenticeship of four years he became ambitions to farm on his own ac count. A 300 acre farm was in the market, and, as payment could be made by installments young Kenne dy bought the property. 'I’he price was to lie S30 an acre. By dint of hard work this was paid for in a few years, and Mr. Kennedy now owns two plantations of about 1,000 acres each. He puts in all kinds of crops, and sells everything that can be pro duced on a Southern farm. He plants 200 acres of cotton and ob tains a 500 pound bale to the acre. One hundred and sixty acres are given to corn. 40 acres to wheat, 75 acres to oats and 125 acres to native grasses. Fens and potatoes are ex tensively cultivated, the peas being sowed on wheat and oat stubble. He has a herd of 100 cattle, and milks 25 Jersey cows. Every year he sells $000 worth of butter. His pigs, of which he feeds about 125, bring him in a snug sum of money. With turkeys Mr. Kennedy has great suc cess, many of the gobblers weighing forty pounds when they were killed. He feeds them on wheat bran and clabber. Twenty men and their wives and children are employed on the home plantation, the other being leased on shares. Each man has a house and garden free and is paid 45 cents a day. The women and chil dren receive from 20 to 40 cents a dav. It is unnecessary to say that Mr. Kennedy does not meddle with politics.—N.

'I’he following are the laws laid down bv the United States Govern ment for the protection of newspa- ptrs: Subscribers who do not give ex press notice to the contrary, are con sidered as wishing to continue their subscription. If subscribers order the discon tinuance of their periodicals the publishers may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publishers and papers are sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. The courts have decided that re fusing to take periodicals from the office before renmving and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice to the publishers at the end of their time if they do not wish to continue taking it; otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it on, and the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice, with payment of all arrears, is sent to the publisher, Publishers of newspa|>crs can, un der the laws, arrest any nmn for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law it is a dangerous trick for a man to allow )ns subscription account to run from sjx mopths to a year and then tell (he jwratpiastcr to murk ‘^refused,” or to send the editor a notice to dis continue t|ie pa|icr, Where Hie Increase l omes From.

It will be observed, in the lirst place, that in South Caro lina the Alliance has gained IJiO'i new members and lost nearly as many, and that “this is the only ' State recently heard from in which an increase in membership is not reported.” Notwithstanding a re ported increase of 1,000 new mem bers in Mississippi the Alliance was fairly and squarely beaten in that State at the recent election upon Ihe sub-treasury issue. In spite of the glorious, aggressive and successful work in Iowa, the regular Democratic ticket was elected on November 4, by a splendid majority,and although “the “Buckeye State heads the list” with 10,000 new Alliancemen, the high priest of the policy of class legislation was elected by an over whelming majority. All of this is very significant. Kansas has gone back into the Re publican camp. Ohio is no longer a doubtful State. Iowa has taken her place in the Democratic column. It is only in the States w here the relief of the farmers by orderly and con servative Democratic methods was made the Hsue in the campaign that victory was achieved.

It is proposed to erect in Augusta, Gil, a monument to Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin. The lirst steps have been taken in a call signed by leading men in that city, which says: “The year 1893 is the centennial of the invention of the cotton gin. One hundred years will then have elapsed since Eli AA’hitney construct ed the first cotton gin in Richmond County, Gil, within five miles of the city of Augusta, lie prosecuted in valuable invention in the face of gicnt discouragements, afiil his his- toryjit that time is one of the most pathetic in American biography. “There is no jnonument over his remains, nor any stone to tell the . tory of his genius and his practical foundation of continued agricultural prosperity to the South.” It will thus be seen that the time and place are especially tit for such a monument.
