MILLER, J. W. BROOKS. Committee. ECHOES FROM CARRIERS' CONVENTION., Strong Resolutions in Favor of: Par cels Post and Good Roads Secre tary Ballard's Retiring Address. A letter from Secretary J. M. Bal lard, supplementary to the account last week of the Rural Carriers' An nual Meeting, in Wilmington, reports that there were 33 county organiza tions entitled to delegates and that The Progressive Farmer .was again selected as official organ. For this recognition and honor we thank our carrier friends and shall always do the best we can at all times to serve them efficiently. The retirement of Secretary Bal lard Is worthy of more than a pass ing note. He has made an excep tionally fine officer; always loyal, en ergetic, and industrious in behalf of the carriers' organization. During the two and a half years that he was secretary and treasurer he has seen Its condition grow from an organiza tion of eighteen counties; In ' debt $240, with an enrollment of only 191 members to the organization to day of 33 counties with 445 mem bers and out of debt, with a surplus on hand a record of which' Secre tary Ballard and his fellow carriers may well be proud. Below will be found the resolu tions by thf Association, and Secre tary Ballard?s speech which we are requested td publish: Resolutions by Carriers Association. Resolved 1. That we favor a par cels post as recommended by Post master General and his associates. 2. That we favor the enactment of a law in the State of North Caro Una, making all roads in the State covered by rural routes public roads, and kept up and maintained by said county in which said roads are tra versed. . 3. That we believe that good roads would be an important step towards the establishment of a par cels post, and that we ask for the co-operation of all citizens and most especially the officials of our coun ties and State in bringing about the above or any other improvements in our roads. 4. j.nat we express our many thanks and appreciation to the Post office Department, for responding to our request for a representative to address us in Convention; also for the ready and instructive answers given the carriers questions by said representative, Hon. E. H. Hatha way, of Washington, D. C. 5. That we express our thanks to Sears, Roebuck & Co., and Mont gomery, Ward & Co., of Chicago, 111., and to the business men of Wilming ton, for their liberal contributions to the entertainment funds; to the Tidewater Power Co. for reduced rates on its roads, and to the press of Wilmington for courtesies shQwn; to Mr. T. E. Wallace, Postmaster, for securing the U. S. court-room Synopsis of Address by Mr. J . M. Ballard, the Retiring Secretary. When I took charge of the books of this association two and one-half years ago I found only eighteen counties organized, six of which had forfeited their charters by non-payment of dues, and many others were in a sad state of decline. Only one hundred and ninety-one members had ever been enrolled. The organi zation was $240 in debt and it look ed! like an almost hopeless task to put; it on Its feet. From that day forward I put my life into the work and devoted my time and energies to the one object of putting life into this body. - I can say with perfect sincerity that my motives were not selfish ones, but my only ohject was to place the -rural service on a higher plane and make its work a greater blessing to humanity. How well I have succeeded I leave others to judge, but will say that I retire from this office fully conscious of the fact that I have done my whole duty as I saw it. We now have four hundred and forty-five members and thirty-three counties in good standing. We have paid current expenses and also the $240.00 indebtedness and still have a small amount of money in the treasury. I have never sought this or any ' other office in the Association. But such is my loyalty that I shall con tinue in the future, as in the na 10 give n my mosi loyal support. I wish to thank with all my heart the loyal friends who have stood by me in my work and who gave me their support to-day. I want to assure you that I feel no bitterness towards those who vot ed against me from honest motives but I promise that, if living, ! will meet you in the city of Charlotte one year from now just as loyal to the cause as at any time in the past. For want of space the questions and answers which were reported from the Association, as well as an interesting letter from President Baines about the policy of the new administration, must be carried over until next issue. Editors. Do not let very fat old hens be unnecessarily exposed to the hot sun for want of shade and then wonder why they drop over dead from apoplexy. There will be some one at every Farmers' Institute to . receive your renewal or new subscription. Keep him busy if you can. Enclosed find renewal. Excuse my neglect. I would in no wise be. without The Progressive Farmer. It is one of the most useful tools I have and is a reliable farm paper that I am willing to farm by. It would be cheap at $10 a year to any farmer who will follow its teachings. J. W, G., Mallory, S. C. FRANCIS BRILL Choic e S e e ds Grower said Dealer Hempstead, L. I. NEWYORK.
