 Now dear friends this year as your President has endeared me more than ever to the grand old State of Alabama. and has famliarized me with the good that the Travellers Protective Association embraces, and I want to tell you in all seriousness that l fear many of you do not appreciate what your order really is and does stand for. It Is protectf1& to yourself, your family and your ems ployer; 1t is a protection to your bust- ness; besides, 1t is a privilege to be one of the finest body of men ever banded together. if we take the proper interest and keep alive those beneficial features that our Association offers. But man may tie his arm to his side, and fail to exercise the power that God gives hims and his arm will finally become absolute~ ly useless, and he will lose control and the power to even lift 1t will be taken from him. So it is with the T. F. All your President cannot keep it alive alones your Secretary cannot do every thing to make it a power. and to have 1t as an organization recognized and appreciated. We must stand for something. and ia& every member be a part of that sone~ thing. I will not take up your time enus merating the many things we could dos but l do want to recommend that each Post appoint regular meeting nights once a month at least where your members can be called together. and each bring In an application for membership if posstbles but come to the meeting. and there have a heart to heart talk with one another concerning business. credits. conditions ok the territory, as well as different move- ments that should be introduced and pushed by the Associations to the better- ment of the commercial world. and the travelling public; and then, and not until then. we will stand for something. and wieid an influence in our community.
 Many of us are too we'll satisfied with feeling that we gre the greatest people on earth, and the heaviest power. and could turn the course of the great Mis- sissippi with united effort. that we rest on this belief without putting it into ex~ ecutlon.
 Let me beseech you to wake up, and do something to show our power if we have 1t, and each of you consider he is a part of that power. and must pull his strength. then. and not until then, We Will

The annual address of President James
 A. Daugherty of Birmingham delivered yesterday to the Alabama Division Tray
 eIers' Protective Association was as fol- | lows:
 | "Gentlemen:
 This convention marks the close of
 another T. P. A. year. and according 10 | the Constitution and Bylaws as well as | custom, herewith submit the President annual report, and as it Is the duty or | the Secretary to give statistics. facts ana l figures from all departments, It would pc | Q repetition for me to report In this ad- dress the state of our finances. receipts and disbursements, number of names Tn our membership roll. etc. Theretore. l feel that the Convention will sustain me in emitting this and leaving 1t entirely to the Secretary who will give you the facts and figures I wish to deal In generahties only, and will begin by thanking the or , ficers and members for their support In ] upholding the dignity and standing or the Alabama Division of T. P. A. Many og you have done good work for winch ] want to extend my highest appreciation and thanks; and l am sure will get the approval of this convention when com ploment in this address our worthy State Secretary. His knowledge of the rules, bylaws and customs of the order' ana his ever ready willingness to advise, as- sist and support me has been invaluable to me; I have always found him anxious and willing to put his shoulder to the wheel and push the old T. r. A. wagon, no matter how urgent his call to individ- ual interests; and l have found him so proficient and well equipped with the knowledge of what and how to do. that have left the bulk of the doing to him. The T. P. A. of Alabama in the old Posts. especially. as rule, have been m active this year, and cannot account for 1t in any other way than that the pros peritv in commercial circles in our State has been so marked that our boys nave | been too busy looking after their legiti- mate business to take much notice or our | Association, and their prosperity mas | been so great that they became lndiner- | ent to protection and benefits oftered so | cheaply This Is largely true or tne hu- | man family, they fail to appreciate thihgS | that cost little. and 1t Is to this only that | [ can ascribe as cause of so many or our | esteemed members allowing their names | to he dropped from the roll of memher- | shin in the old Posts.
