Committee on Good OF Order. n. y. Pyles,
Or. p. b. Carwile, j. d. Gambrel.
The committee on the Good Of the Order
submitted the following report which was
adopted.
The condition of the Order since our last
report has undergone but little change: It's
membership has remained approximately the
same and no special effort has been made 10
revive dormant alliances. While the COM
nittee feel assured that the principles OF the
alliance are as dear 10 the people as they ever
were, yet there is maniiestly a want OF proper
OF the Importance OF impressing
them upon the attention Of the public.
While recognizing their value and import
ance as essential to the advancement OF the
agricultural interests of the country, and con.
as they do the very fiber OF social
organism and the vitaliZng force or indus
try, yet few of the members OF the order
real liZe their individual responsibility In the
Of those principles.
They seem TO ignore the TACT that the life
and usefulness OF the order are dependent up
on the hearty cooperation OF the individual.
There Is a disposition Oh the part OF some 10
think that the alliance has accomplished Its
mission and that nothing more remains TO be
done, little thinking that victories won are
easily lost by in-action or over confidence.
1t becomes US TO be always on the alert
thoroughly organized for united action as
the enemies OF The order are over vigiIant and
We recommend the import
ance OF alliance literature's being urged upon
the attention of the members. and especially
recommend the Cotton Plant, the organ OF the
order.
Education only can instill proper concep-
tion of the duties OF citizenship, as we'll as In
culcate u due appreciation of our obligations
as alliance men. The committee are pleased
to report that state CT fraternal feeling
pervades the Alliance.
: We would suggest that the county alliance
at It's present session adopt some measure TO
revive an interest In the order during the
month OF August, which will be a COMPARE
lively leisure time with the people.
