Id Jail had brought on himself sod family.
f tho greatest In
history of the association there Is
little doubt. PrcsIdertV'Ltndsnr expects
something like 700 carriers and their
friends present during the convention.
The association Is organized In every
state and territory of the Union, nnd
delegates to the convention will como
from far away California, while the
middle Western states will bo heavily
represented. Already Kansas. Illi
nois. Missouri and several other states
are represented by the first arrivals nnd
by the time the convention opens most
of tho state organisations In the coun
try will have delegates In Atlanta.
Four Years Old.
The association was organized In
Chicago In September. 1903, and since
that time Itz growth has been marvel
ous. State after etate organized, nnd
In a short time the association repre
sented 37,000 rural free delivery car
riers in the United States. Through
the Influence of the association the
scrvlco has been greatly Improved and
It hss the approval of the postoffice
officials In Washington.
One of these will be hdro to nddress
the delegates. He Is Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General P. V. DeGraw and
he Is expected to arrlvo In Atlanta
Tuesday. With him will como W. R.
Spillman, superintendent of the rural
free delivery division, who will also
make an address. Congressman Griggs
will nlso be present.

tional organization, and President De-
Broaae, of the Georgia division, wefts-3

Kansas Sunflowers.
Prominent among the eqrly arrivals
was the delegation from Kansas, the
members of which were decorated with
artificial sunflowera, . the emblem of
their state. Thla party consisted of O.
Chacey, of Leavenworth: E. R. Rust,
of Netawaka; Jesse Uumgardner, of
Holton, and J. A. Kirk, of Winfield.
The sunflowers were made by Mrs.
Chacey and no attempt was made to
make miniatures of them.
"We want them to show," said Mr.
Chacey, "and let folks know that Kan
sas Is represented here at the conven
tion.”
Mr. Chacey Is a Civil war veteran
and served gallantly In the Federal
army during the struggle between til-
states. This Is his first trip South
since the war and then he was not in
Georgia. He and the others In the del
egation were pleased with Atlanta nnd
they spent the morning looking around
and seeing the sights.
A feature of the convention will be
the entertainment which has been pro
vided for the delegates and their wives
and friends by the local committee In
charge of the affair. By the time the
convention Is over the carriers will
have tested Southern hospitality and
will probably have reason to remember
Atlanta.
A Big Barbecue,
There will be a grand barbecue and
the visitors from the Xorth and West
will have a chance to partake of tho
best that can be put up In this line. The
ladles In the party will bo given theater
parties and there will be trolley rides
and carriage drives. The city will be
viewed from the high buildings and
everything that will make the stay In
the city of the visitors pleasant will be
done.
President Lindsay has everything
working with precision and when the
time nrrives for the opening of iho
convention all business will be In shape.
He Is a young man. Imt he has shown
by Hie manner In which he handlea the
vellmlnarles that he Is u thorough
ustness man, and he dlspatchea the' id
