And the visitors were like a happy- hearted care-free lot of boys from the time the special rolled out of the un ion station at 1 o'clock to the return In mid-afternoon. They frolllcked, played pranks each other, laughed, Joked and had the time of their life. "Well, I haven’t had so much fun and enjoyed lifo so since I was a boy,’ said one sturdy old carrier from Mich, lgan. That sentiment was probably the unanimous verdict of every man and svoman In the party—and the ladles were there In number! and had aa good a time as anybody.

'This day will be worth much to ua all,” said one carrier. "It has brought ua In close touch with the men who are In power In Washington. After all, they are Just plain, simple, earnest men like any of the carriers.” Arriving at Tucker shortly before noon, the ISO visitors walked the die tance of half a mile to President Lind say's pretty little home, set In the midst of a grove and looking out on smiling fields of cotton and corn. In the distance the huge bulk Stone Mountain was plainly visible. To a large number of the visitors the whole experience was a novel one. The long pit with Its smoking, savory meats; proved a magnet to draw many, who stood around and. sniffed the de licious odors with constantly growing Interest. Others scattered through the cotton fields and woods, gathering souvenirs of cotton, persimmons and goldenrod. Throughout the time Mrs. Lindsay did all In her power to make everyone fee] at home, caring especially for the la diet In the party.
