Crops and Politics in a Rural Debate
Wm. Rodgers from Cotton Plant writes from McCarter, S. C., arguing over overproduction worries and price declines in cotton and wheat. He attacks the Democratic party, praises farmer leadership, cites John Gary Evans, and cites Timon’s Orators of France to claim a government of sharpers and a need for a true farmer as leader.

Worth's Report on State Alliance Operations in North Carolina
State Business Agent Worth reports during Greensboro meeting that the agency faced a broad downturn in the commercial world due to a financial panic. Banks failed, mills closed, and many merchants suspended operations while fertilizer trade shrank with low cotton and corn prices. Worth notes reduced fertilizer production, discusses selling eggs and establishing exchanges in Raleigh and Asheville, and proposes brokerage on fertilizers. He lists mercantile orders, highlights the Labor Exchange as a cooperative model, and urges testing its principles in North Carolina to boost production and prices, referencing Rochdale and Lincoln.

Political shifts roll through state party conventions
Mr James H Poll of Smithfield accepts chairmanship of the State Democratic Executive Committee. The People's party backs Gen J B Weaver for Congress in Iowa Fourth District, while Democrats meet and decide to back Weaver. South Carolina Democrats readopt the Ocala platform in Columbia as they retain their party name. Texas Democrats adopt a Chicago cowardly makeshift financial plank, causing Gov candidate J H Reagan to withdraw.
