He urged them to take more Interest In the affairs of the associa tion and declared that during the com ing year he was going to make It one of the strongest In the country. The Labor Question. The manufacturers' side of the labor question waa brought vividly out when a letter waa read from James Lappan, known to the members as the "grand father of the association." Mr. Lappan was unable to leave hla home In Pitts burg because of Mrs. Lappan’s Illness, but In hla letter he pointed out a pro gram which he urged tho member* to follow. "Be united," said Mr. Lappan In his letter, "and stick together against our common antagonist. Consider the la bor liability law and the unreasonable demands of unskilled labor, their vi cious attitude toward their employers In time of prosperity and the enmity This letter attracted considerable at tention and the Indications are that It will be discussed at the session Thurs. day morning, which will be executive. Another letter was read from M. Zler, of the Zler Boiler and Sheet Iron Com pany of New Albany, Ind. In this let ter he pointed out how hla former firm hud been bankrupted by doing busi ness In Texas and he urged that some steps be taken to prevent sawmills and other places getting supplies at the same prices as boiler manufacturers. He said the result was that these peo ple did their own repairing. It Is expected that at the executive session Thursday several matters of Importance will be discussed, the prln. cipal one being that of labor. Do Your Meals Fit?

GOOD ROADS AND PARCEL POST SYSTEM 4 Continued from Page One. horses, wagons and other equipments. “I think this convention should come out squarely for parcel post. We should have the nerve to do so." • President Lindsay outlined the work of securing legislation and regulations for the carriers. He declared that they did not depend on congress, but dealt directly with the department. “Many nf you have spoken to me about continuing me In the service. I* a matter of perfect Indifference „ me what you do about It. because I can do good work whether I am an officer or not." When he began reading Ills expense account, soma one moved to refer It the finance committee. "My attention hea been called ■ to letter printed In The R. K. D. News, said President Lindsay, "crttlclalng me because my expense accounts had not been prlfited. I w'ant every carrier I know where every penny goes I spend "We do not care what a few Isolated fellows think," said one delegate. "We have every confidence In our president and his Integrity." That statement waa received with tremendous applause. Throughout hla report President Llndray waa heard with closest attention. The Secretary's Report. Secretary P. E. Cull made a most In taresllng report. Within the past year 1,461 new members were added to the national organization. Thirty-eight states are now organized, and the sec retary said he felt sure the time was near when all of the states would be organized. Receipts for the year were $2,963.71, with expenditures of $1,721, leaving balance In the treasury of $1,242.71. Secretary Cull recommended raising the per capita tax to $1. He said that ho did so because he thought It proper for the national association to pay the expenses of delegates to the national conventions. This could be done If tho tax was raised to $1 per annum. The Idea waa received with great enthusi asm. Reports of the national treasurer and chairman of the executive committee were also received, this completing the report*. A very Interesting paper, prepared by J. C. Carpenter, of Vermont, on "The Beat Horae for a Hilly Country," was read by Secretary Cull. Mr. Car penter said the Vermont-Morgan horse met conditions for a hilly route bet, ter than any animat he knew. E. E. Kennlcutt, of Illinois, presented a paper on "The Most Suitable Horae for a Level Country.” He thought heavy horses should be used, as they stand the strain better. Senator A. 8. Clay was scheduled for an address, but failed to come In time, and Hon. W. R. Spllman, of Wash ington, D. C„ began speaking at 11:$0 'clock. He was given a great ovation. “1 am deeply grateful for this flat tering reception you have given me,' he said. “It la always gratifying to receive the evidences of esteem of your fellow men, but it la doubly a pleas ura to know that I stand well In the regard of the rural mall carriers. “I hope to have the pleasure of shak ing hands with every one of you before I leave Atlanta. I want to know alt of you personally. You all know that think the rural mall service Is about tho biggest thing In the United States.' He said whatever man put his hands to should do It with all hla might. That success can only coma with earnest heartfelt endeavor. "There la great advantage In your meeting together from time to time. And it Is not essential that a member of the depertment be present every time. We go from such meetings with bigger Ideas about the mall eervlce. Uur chest measure expands In the light way. Rural delivery Is the newest feature of the postal service. We are accus tomed to saying that the postal service of the United States 1 a the greatest In the world, and that Is perhaps largely true. Rural delivery was Inaugurated in 189$. •It was not the result of any demand by the people or business Interests. It was some two or three years before the actual benefits of the system became apparent to the people. The city de livery system was first organised to relieve congestion In the offices and to expedite the delivery of mall. It waa not demanded by the people. Begun as Experiment. Rural mall service was begun pure ly as an experiment. Some feared that the experiment would prove too ex pensive, and. Indeed, opposition was not lacking sven among the beneficiaries of the system. But the Idea spread, and the demand became so great for routes that the department could not survey and lay out these routes as fast as de sired. "In 1896 there were 83 routes. Now there are 38,090, covering every' stale and territory, except Alaska. 1'ractl- cally five-sixth* of the country avail able Is under the system, and the ap propriation now Is $34,900,000 annually for the service. I believe within the next eighteen month* the remaining one-sixth of available territory will be covered. "Illinois leads In the number of routes, with 2,777, anil Ohio comes second with 2.633. Georgia I* four teenth on the list, with 1,492 route*. "As the country la pretty well cover ed. the number of petitions are falling off. Last year only 2,800 petitions were filed, and only 8ko are now pending In the department." Mr. Spllman said the work of the de partment was now devoted to Inspect ing the routes established. That meant readjustment of many, and some dis continuances. During the past year 360 routes were discontinued, and (7 since June 1. A large percentage of patrons on these routes still received dally mall. "The patronage of rural mall routes s Increasing enormously," he said. This service has been an educating factor In bringing the farmer out of hte Isolation and Into contact with the world. He take* newspapers and mag- axlnes, and writes letters. "It la to our Interest to work In per fect harmony and cooperation In mak ing the rural mail service the biggest and best In the world.” He spoke of rural delivery In Europe, but said that the old world had furn ished Uncle Bam llttl# actual Informa tion to go on, as conditions differ so greatly. Worth the Money. Already the rural service Is proving most valuable to the postal service,” de. dared Mr. Spllman. "Some people say If there was no rural service that there would be no deficit In the department. I do not believe one word of It. but even If It It, so, the benefits accruing are worth the expenditure*. "Every rural mall carrier In the serv ice should have the confidence of every patron on his route. The nerformance of vour dally duties Is not a small thing, because It Is an Integral part nf the entire service. We want to so np- pear and conduct ourselves that the cit izen will point with pride to the rural carrier. -Should we not wear a uniform to show that we are representative* of a great branch of a great government, there is no reason why the carrier and hla outfit should not be respectable In appearance." •Mr. Spllntnn then stressed the Impor tance of good roads. He declared that the value of rural mall service must be measured by Its expedltlouaness, and quick delivery could not be had without good roads. Good Road* Needed. "Good roads enhance the value of farm lands and lengthens the life of the carrier's horse nnd vehicle. We doiC* ask for asphalt pavements nor macad amized roads, i have found out that you can make good, smooth, durable roads out of dirt. "The rural mall earrjer of the United States Is the best authority on good roads that can be found. He travels them every day. and he knows what good roads mean.' He detailed the duties of the carriers and stressed the Importance of becom Ing thoroughly familiar with the rules of the department. "Besides good Judgment, the carrier needs sauvlty. He elioutd be courteous, attentive nnd nt all times a gentleman- Taking thla body In Its entirety, the standard of efficiency among the car rier* Is as high as that nf any body in the world. If there la ever another I shall recommend that a special call be made for the rural carriers.” Mr. Stillman concluded by urging upon the carriers faithfulness nnd up rightness In the discharge of every duty Aa It was near 1 o’clock, the conven tion adjourned to 2:30 o'clock, at which time the question box was taken up, TWO 8TRONQ ADDRESSES AT AFTERNOON SESSION Two rattling good apeechea were made at the afternoon aesalon of the rural mall car rier* Tueaday, both of which arouaed the rlattora to a high pitch of enthusiasm, Congressman I,. F. Livingston, who ta gensrally credited with the honor of having originated the rnral mail service and who baa always been a strong friend of the car riers, made a stirring apeech and received frequent and enthusiastic applause. President fl. F. Duckworth, of the Farm •' Union, also made a greet speech, which Is printed In full elsewhere. It w*a consid ered significant that when President Lind say Introduced Mr. Dnekworth he ' him ne "the neat president of the . Farmers' Union." This means that In the event President Barrett declines a third term that Georgia will press the claims of Duckworth to head the greet union of agrt cultnrlata. The attendance In the-afternoon was even larger than th* one at"lb* morning teeah aa many new arrivals had been recorded. for the betterment of the aervlee and the advancement of the Interests of the car rier* He aroused the convention to a storm of enthusiasm when he stated that he thought tbs carriers should be paid a uniform sab ry of $1,300. The credentials committee made Its report, but It was found Incomplete In some partic ulars. and President Lindsay Instructed that the committee go orcr Its work again. It was necessary to be csrefnl because upon this report la based the delegations entitled to rote In the contention. Tuesday evening the visitors attended the theaters or were entertained by friends In DO NOT AGREE ON SPECULATION Continued from Pag* On*. mouety the report of the committee condemning the bagging now In use and recommended the use of a light burlap or covering made of cotton auch as osnaburg, weighing 10 ounces per yard'and 40 Inches wide. The committee on permanent organi zation submitted e report recommend ing that the organization of the confer ence be made permanent. Tht* recom mendation was referred to each of the flv organizations comprlelnr the confer ence end they will be required to report on the proposition, through their presi dents, et the meeting to be held Wed nesday afterhqon at 3 o'clock. Th* session Wednesday afternoon will close the deliberations nf th* con ference for the present year. C. E. Barber, of Florida, a cotton planter, secured the floor and stated that he repreeented a sea Island cotton county Jn Florida. “We have heard very little about tong cotton during this conference," said he, "and 1 think that we should discuss this qusstlon and And out what the grower* of thl* kind of cotton need. "We want to meet the spinners who use this kind of cotton and talk over questions of Interest to both parties.” Upon the suggestion of President MaColl, the grower* of sea Island, several of whom were present, re paired to one of the committee roome to dlecuse any matter of Interest with auch spinners as manufacture sea Is land cotton. The conference then proceeded to the transaction or business. Vice President Harvle Jordan, president of the South ern Cotton Association. In th* chair, in taking the chair. Mr. Jordan said: "It gives me great pleasure to wet- ome you gentlemen from foreign land* .o a discussion of questions of vital Interest to both cotton grower and cot ton manufacturer. "This Is a meeting of great signifi cance. and I believe that conference* of this kind will do more to bring about universal peace than all the iieace conference* In th* world." The first order of business waa a re port of th* committee on growing and handling cotton, F. L. Maxwell, chair man. The following report on the topic of better cotton by seed selection was submitted: Value of Seed Selection. "W* recommend that all planters, farmers and grower# of cotton give mor* attention to tho selection of seed for planting purposes by selecting from typical stalks with well matured bolls of the type of cotton desired. "On Improved ginning, the following recommendation la made: "Every gin should be put In the beet order posaihle. All cotton should be, where possible, housed not leas than thirty daya'before ginning.’ Cotton to housed will bring a premium. It should be thoroughly dried or cured before ginning and never ginned while green or damp. Especially does thla apply to staple cotton which also should not be ginned In damp weather. We fur ther recommend that In ginning ataple cotton the saw* be set shallow In order that th* brush** may take the cotton from the saw* as fast aa ginned to pre. vent kink* or knapping, and a smooth sample will he made. •On compressing.

The picture is typical of the combined selling and buying power of the Jacobs’ stores. Each stoye in itself, larger than any other drug store outside of the Jacobs’ organization, possesses a great er power of distribution aud consequently a greater sale of goods, and its natural accompaniment, greater buy ing capacity. Now combine the .Jacobs’ stores into one great store with an outlet greater than any other retail drug store in America, and you have the facts behind tho Jacobs’ cut prices. And To Get It Means It gives Jacobs’ the power to go direct to the manufacturers. It brings buying prices in the first place down to the lowest possible point. It gives a stock that embraces everything. It gives an outlet so great that Jacobs’ can enumerate in its stores practi cally everything known in dnigs, medicines, patent preparations and toilet arti cles. i And going to the manufacturers, the goods have come to Jacobs’ shelves fresh and new direct front the laboratories, with no weeks or months spent in the wholesale or .jobbers’ stock rooms.

The ilrat section was taken up and passed. General Gordon, of Savannah, moved to strike out the section of the second paragraph with resard to housing cot ton thirty days before ginning. J. B. Tattersall, of Manchester, Eng. land, pointed to the fact that the res olution aay* "housed, where possible," and that It was Inserted In the reso lution merely as a safeguard, and ha Instated that It be left In the resolu tion. Mr. 8mlth. of South Carolina, than moved that the word* "that the fiber may be Improved by continued growth" be Inserted In the resolution as a rea son for It* being housed thirty day* before ginning. The section was temporarily passed In order to allow Mr. Clark, of Mis sissippi, the author of the resolution, to make a few changes. The recommendation on compressing was then adopted without objection. The fourth and last aectlon was then taken up. Mr. Calvin, of Texas, offered an amendment providing that "gin com presses be put In as rapidly a* possible, the preference being given to econom ical machine* that can be bought by glnnere. Bales should be of 260 pounds or multiple thereof, and lie put up ao that required maritime density be se cured without recompressing. When baled In square form that bales be of 600 pounds."

The amendment precipitated a dis cussion of the relative merits of the round bale and the Egyptian form of baling. ever estlmat* your cotton crop if you have your cotton baled In bales uf dif ferent site and weight." Mr. Clark, of Mississippi, favored the square bale. He declared that he had asked 600 eplnner* which bale they pre ferred and that only three out of the number had declared themselves favoring the round bale. B. ’ W. Martin, of Louisiana, favored the round bale. He declared that the round bale Is easier to handle and can be stored In almost any place. "It Is also easier to keep free from dirt, as It can be picked up and car ried across the street In the mud. "It la the epfnnera wa wish to please," said he. "and there are aom# who favor the round bale and some who favor the square bale.” Charles B. Avery, of Connecticut, fa vored the square bale. H. W. Macallster offered an amend ment to the effect that when a bale Is baled square that the Egyptian form of baling be employed. W. H. Seymour, of Alabama, favored the Egyptian style of baling. Mr. Calvin withdrew his amendment in favor of the amendment offered by Mr. Macallster. The section as amended by Mr. Mac- abater wa* then put to a vote and adopted. Mr. Clark, of Mississippi, then moved a reconsideration of the action of the conference In adopting the resolution. He stated that he favored the resolution a« adopted, but that there were those who opposed It. and that In the interest of fairness he felt that It should not be railroaded through. Before the motion wa* put Mr. Smith, of South Carolina, moved that the reso lution be referred to a committee of spinners and growers for the purpose The recommendation aa amended waa unanimously adopted. The committee on buying and selling, W. W. Welch, chairman, submitted a report which waa taken up and paaaed upon by sections. The first four paragraph* were adopt ed unanimously and without discussion. Thl* committee also had under con •Ideratlon the resolution of Congress man Heflin petitioning congre** and the parliament of Great Britain to Invest! gate cotton exchange*. When the aectlon recommending that Congressman Heflin's resolution he adopted was made, n was moved by G. D. McElderry, of Alabama, that It be referred to each of the organisation* present. "It will provoke a long discussion," «ald he, "nnd I am In favor of letting each organisation take action In th* matter." W. Welch, chairman of the com mittee favorably reporting the resolu tion. moved that It be adopted. Mr. Macara, of England, moved that the resolution be referred to the com It was moved by Mr. Winter, of South Carolina, that the resolution be referred to a committee'consisting of one representative from each of the five organisations represented, and that they report before the conference ad journed. ,v < Herr Kuffler favored th* motion of Mr. Macara to refer the Heflin reso lution to the committee on permanent organisation to report on the same at the.session next year. "We should not, act In this matter hastily," said he.
