National Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union officers and committee members are listed with locations in North Carolina and nearby states. The document also contains agricultural advice on dairy, oats, onions, manuring, and orchard care.
The 1893 legislature faced sharp clashes over the North Carolina State Farmers Alliance. Bills sought to repeal the 1889 charter and create a new alliance structure, igniting fierce party tension. Reformers pressured for amended charters to protect stockholders while opponents feared disenfranchisement and costly state control. The Brunswick County convention of the People's Party urged direct elections and reduced salaries, signaling broader reform debates amid agricultural distress.
The People's party 334th district met at Mooresboro on Sept 15 to nominate a Senate candidate. J Y Hamrick won the nomination after ballots. A D K Wallace and others served on the executive committee. The convention endorsed the national and state platforms and urged cooperation with Republicans to overthrow the Democratic machine.
