ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT s. B. ALEXANDER,
TO H N. @. FARMERS STATE ALL
ANCE AT ITS THIRD ANNUAL SESSION
HELD AT FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., AUG.
l3, IA, Is, 1889.
Officers and Delegates of the North Caro-.
lima Farmers State Alliance:
The third annual meeting of the
North Carolina Farmers State ALI
ance, marks an r of unity of action
among the agricultural and laboring
classes that is phenomenal, andI con
graduate you in representing an order
in numbers and intelligence that has
had no equal in our State. Less than
six months old, at our first annual
meeting, it had eight county Alliances
and 1872 Sub-Alliances. At the sec
ond annual meeting it had ffty-two
county Alliances and LOIS Sub-Alli.
ances, and today we have SO county
Alliances and 1876 Sub-Alliances
with an approximate membership of
II thousand members. So rapidly
has the State been organized that many
of the Sub-Alliances have not been in.
structed in the purposes and princi.
pies of our order as thoroughly as
they should be, to insure their active
and effective work. The important
work of organizing new Sub-Alliances
in unorganized sections can be com.
pleted before our next annual meet
ing. [ refer you to the reports of the
Executive Committee, Secretary,
Treasurer, State Lecturer and Organ,
