To the Rural Carriers of South Carolina: The greatest power in the world to-day is organized power. Singlehanded individuals can do little or nothing,but when united they can accomplish wonders. Every carrier appreciates this fact to the fullest; therefore I shall not dwell upon it, only to the extetit of reminding you that In unity there is strength. Let us. arouse ourselves and organize. Our state jorganiza tioi can be useful in many ways: 1st. By working together, with the prestige of the state associa tion behind, each of us, we will finally succeed in creating a sen timent for better roads-and who should be more interested in good roads than the,rural car rier? This thing cannot be done in a day; we must keep ever lastingly at it as the days and months go by and the victory will surely be won. 2d. The salary question is another incentive for organiza tion. By co-operating with the other state associations through out the United States we..shall be better able to communicate our wants and needs to the post office department and thus indi rectly to congress. 3d. There is a social and fra ternal feature of inestimable value in getting together in county and state meetings. True, all of us cannot be- dele gates to the state* conventions, but if we organize we can send good men to the state conven tion who may be able to bring the next convent16n to our very doors-first in one part of the state and then In another. There are a great many other reasons for organizing which I shall not mention- for lack of space. .If this call should .meefthe eye of :a carrier in an unorgan ized county, he should lose no time in making of hiself a pioneer in this cause by getting busy. Let' him drop a postal card to every carrier in his county (the state associatior will pay for the cards) and urge them to me,et him at some cen tral locality, on Thanksgiving day, or New Year's -day (not later than this), and organize. If you will secure a half dozer or more to meet with you, I will come or send some 'one of the state officers to help you or ganize. In closing, let ruie Impress upon you the supreme imnportance of organizing. They are organiz ing very rapidly in the north and wvest and in our neighboring states. Let us not lag behind.~ If organization is a good thing for them, it must be good for us al80. Yours fraternally, W. G. PECTRSON, * Pres. State Association. Nekberr , Nov. 10.
