To tUr .Yntlnnal B'arntrm' .BI/inner anil CWjMfirlH H n ion of .Inn I K It: Being elected your Secretary at the organization of this body on the iJlst of January, 1887, in the city of Waco, 'Texas, 1 was thereby, according to your constitution, made a member nt the Board of Organization. 'The board fiitnd an empty treasury, except .*o(H) borrowed ot tin* State* Alliance of Tex as. They formulated mdnn by which a small revenue would accrue as soon ns organizers could bo placed in the field, should they meet with success. 'The. board met in the city of Waco on the 22ml of Febunry, March 8th,. April 12th and May the 10th. We commis sioned forty bretSiein, including the national oflleers. Times were so hard it was impossible for some of them to get off after they hnd.borno the ex pcnso nt going to \» aeo. inncrs, nittar spending all they could raise at home in older toreaeh a remunerative Held, found no encouragement, failed utterly by reason of sick ness, opposition and the despairing mood into which the farmers in some sections had fallen. Some of these bivlherii who arc in debted to you* I do hope you will relieve hy proper enactment. These forty brethren, by authority of the Hoard, deputised seventy-five others, and 1 am glad and proud to say that almost all over the South these noble missionaries in the grand cause of human freedom were cordially re ceived by the farmers, entertained with true Soutluru hospitality, and they did, on the whole, meet with phenomenal success iu the work ol orgai.izat ion. There were as you know but two States represented at Waco in Janu ary, Louisiana mill Texas; to-day there are delegates here front eight State organizations, and we are about ready to organize a State Alliance in GtMirgia, Tennessee, Indian Territory and New .Mexico, 't liis*1ins been ac complished hy t!ie brethren iu the Held iu tlx* astonishingly short space of six months; something, 1 think, un precedented in the history of any or ganization. As your secretary, 1 was cautioned by President Maetine to hr sine and securesuflieietit help ia my oltice to pieveiitnn accumulation suf lleiiat to emhaiass the work. 1 at once secured the aid of Iho. C. M. \\ iIcox, ex-secretary ot the Mate Al liance of Texas. He lias materially aided me, being thoroughly eotiver* sant with that class ot work. 1 issued, by order of the president, the ilrst charter to a subordinate Al liance, on the 7th of April; it was or ganized by llro. \V. F. Price, at Vai den; Carroll county, Miss, llro. \V. K. Denson organized one earlier but failed to report first. 1 have issued to date, by order of the president, FIT! charters, making an average from date of fist one of&!2 1-0 per month. As the president issues no charts where State Alliances exist, you will see that the above does not show the entire number now organized * * * The correspondence from every souicc and every part of tlie United States having increased to such an t x tent, and ns I was keeping the record of work done in eleven States and two Territories, the same as usually kept by as many State seeretai ies, 1 was compelled to get more help, and did so, with the consent ot the president and Pro. (J, P. l’ickett, Chairman of the 'National Executive Committee. 1 employed, on the 7th of July, llro. John Peckner, ai 840 per month. Mv salary never having been fixed, I us ed in\ own means to some extent. I have*been us economical as I knew how. 1 have used $Jtto of Nutiounl money; said amount you will see char, ged to me. I now ask your attention to the fi nancial statement herein attached, winch has been thoroughly and care fully examined in eoauuctioii with my books and vouchers by your executive committee, and by them approved. Py it you will see tint my office, with the assistance of the board of or ganization and tlw? noble workers in the Held has paid off a debt of 8.101 to the Texas State Alliance, paid the running expenses of the office, except a part of mine and Pro. Wilcox’s sal ary. and that there is $400.47 on baud and $1150 due the office. 1 have never turned any money over to the National treasurer, because the printing and other expenses have left no surplus on hand uutil now, in lieu ot which 1 have made a monthly finan cial statement to President C. W. Ma cune. Appreciating the power of the press I have used every effort to win to our cause every class of journals and where they could not bo iuducod to espouse our cause I have endeavor ed to conciliate and lieu tralize them by allowing to them tliuc our c iusq was J ‘ list mill reasonable mill in coiifli ct with no legitimate business anil I am glad to any that my success in this important lino has boon extmncly gratifying. I have been in great need of Alli ance literature for free distribution ahead of our missionaries; it would have smoothed their paths. I have distributed, free of cost, two thousand sub-Alliuuee constitutions and ten tlioiisni.d National Alliance constitu tions, and all the newspaper.) I could get. President C'. W. Maenne has given me the full henelit ot his mature judg ment upon every important question; as my superior he hasheeti exceeding ly courteous and indulgent, granting me at nil times the widest discretion compatible with discipline. There are many suggestions in re gard to needed legislation which I feel personally inclined to oiler your hon orable body,, but as secretary, merely making a report, I do not consider it proper, your able president, 1 doubt not. Inis in his message to you cover ed the entire ground. * * • K. 11. Waiiuen, See’y. --«T> . Meeting of Countj Alliance* A special meeting of the Copiah Cmmty Alliance was held at the court houNchouse in this place on Saturday lass, T. K. Groome, president, pro sing, a.id .1. I). Gran berry, secretary. A call of the roll showed the ditfer-' .mt subordinate alliances well repre sented. A good deal of business was trans acted, and the utmost harmony pre vailed. Among other things, the In dustrial Institute at Columbus was endorsed, as was also a resolution ask ing the re-appointment of .lodge K. G. lleyton to the position of Chancellor. Several visiting members were | res ent troin Hinds county, atm altogether the meeting was a very interesting one. Tho next meeting will bo held at .strong Hope, on the first Tuesday in January. — < ♦ » 11*. Accept Oar Thanks. Since our last issue, several new names have been added to our list through the exertion of friends to whom we return thanks. A. 11.

SCHOOL DEPARTMENT. t'orntiirfrii by if. K Uttrrlt, Teaching— A Profession. Every man should regard his pro fession with pride. lie should see in it something to challenge his admira tion and win his aflections. He should seek to view it on its sunny side at d in its fairest aspect. He should feel that love and regard for if that inspir es him with eneigy and enthusiasm in ' its pursuits, that enables him to tri umph over its ditlieulties, mid even to i glory and revel in its clupaiis. Ho 9 who'looks upon his profession with disfavor, who thinks meanly of his labors, and speaks disparagingly of those who belong to it, will inevit ably be a drone. His labor will pr«\*s upon him as a drudgery, The actions ot all bis powers will be sluggish, and in despising the pleasures of pro fessional ptide, ho misses the llne'.fc enjoyment of active lite. There is no | feeling more degrading to a man than tlu* lliouglil rnai nc is cngugcu in a business of which ho is ashamed, than to feel that other men look upon him with contempt because he labors in u. It slides every attempt to excel. It obscures ever spark of genius and | sinks him to the rank of a slave. In / j one sense of the idea, there is no call i ing which possesses claims to dignity above another. The man who is on-, gaged in the most menial occupation that is honest may possess as pun* a. heart, as lie who lias won t<»r fiims«lf the greatest earthly fame. The hum blest laborer that catties mortar upon his hack the day long may possess the spirit and honor of a nobleman, 'I ho noblest object for which any man can live is without doubt, tlie cultivation of (hat part of him which is imperish able. It is the mind tlmt governs and directs us in all tilings, and if we would have our lives well ordered and would be wisely governed, we should seek tlrst of all, generous mental cul tun*. Then it teaching is to become a profession, it must lie made so by teachers. The lawyers made the law wiiMt it is, the doctors made medicine wiiat h, and teachers have made teaching just what it is. The time is coming when it will be living, acting, moving, influential, teachers, who will more and more di rect in allairs that pertain to their own special work.
