THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE QTNertli Carolina Puts Forth n Decln.**lk»'» of Their Principles. The North Catalina Farmers’ Alliance has been in session at Greensboro, N. (. There were over 2,10 delegates pres¬ ent; a great majority of whom were old men. Many matters of interest to farm¬ ers were debated. For ten years the im¬ migration bureau lias been run by the state at the exclusive expense of the farmer. This discrimination, was protested and against resolu¬ a» an unjust a tion was adopted calling on the legisla¬ ture either to support the bureau from the general fund or to abolish it alto gather. It was also asserted that the, present law relating to homesteads and personal property exemptions preg¬ nant with evil in its practical operation* the and tendencies,has brought about op¬ pression ; the usurious and ruinous sys¬ tem of liens and mortgages destroys credit, places men of moderate mean:, in a condition but little removed from sla¬ very; promotes dishonesty, cripples energy and retards progress. It was, therefore, “Resolved, '['hut we favor such modification of said law as shall ultimate¬ ly do away with the lien and mortgage system and restore to the debtor class the only equitable and just basis of credit, honesty, integrity and industry.” Other resolutions and reports of less declara¬ impor¬ tance were submitted.

Tl>c Supreme Court of Nortli Carolina has rendered a decision in a case which, perhaps, hits Robinson no parallel iu legal indicted annals. A man in county was for disturbing religious worship—a stated- grave misdemeanor in that state. It was ihat he was a member of a Methodist church, and that he sang in such a way as to disturb the entire congregation, his voice being heard after the voices of all the other singers had ceased. The case went before the Superior Court, and the trial was very interesting. It was that the congregation had been so greatly dis¬ turbed by it that the preacher had posi ively declined to 1‘give out” any hymns, and ihat the presiding elder of the district had refused to conduct services in the church at all. 'I he case going against ‘the sweet singer in Israel,” he took an appeal to the Supr. me Court, which ren¬ dered the opinion that a “conscientious” -inger causing a disturbance, though be disturbs others, such disturbance is not an indictable offense.
