Tha first address of yesterday’s aes alon was that of Dr. EoepfTel-Uuelten- steln, German consul at Atlanta, and his address proved to be a finished pro- charge of being implicated In the llssty- Irvln-Murrah killing, which occurred at ftilpley.

He also urged general and diversified ad- veitlstng by tho mills mid individuals, as well as by the association, to con tend ngnlnst certain prejudices against the cotton seed products, due In port to the novelty of this Industry. L. A. Hmisom, of Atlmitu. "n" f the organisers of the association, fol lowed along the same line. Mr. Ran- torn referred particularly to the work accomplished Individually by W. M.

The story of "The Jungle," Upton Sinclair's novel which has caused the government In- Investigation Into tha methods employed Iff tha beef trust, had Its origin In an actual Packing- town romance. In Ashland avenue—"back of ths stock yards"—the wadding took place. The first chapter merely shows a broad-shouldered butcher being wedded to a young girl who aces In him a hero. Tha wadding In all Its grotssqueness Is described In this chapter. The wedding cer emony Is typical of Packing- town. At midnight the formal ities ended. The chapter closes with a de scription of Pscklngtown fes tivities and tails bow beer Is promiscuously passed around. Sinclair portrays In wsll-ss- lectsd words the dress of ths denizens of that section. Nearly all of the character* Introduced In the story are em ployed In ths stock yards, and set out. for America. At the last mo ment there Joined them MarIJa Berc- xynskas, who was a cousin of Ona’a. MarIJa was an orphan, and had worked tlnre childhood for a rich farmer of Vllna, who beat her regularly. It woe only at the age of twenty that It had occurred to Marija to try her strength, when aha had risen up and nearly murdered the man, and then come away. There wera twelve In alt In the party, five adult* and alx children—and Ona, who was a little of both. They had a hard time on the passage; there was an agent who helped them, but ha proved a scoundrel, and got them Into a trap with some officials, and cost them a good deal of their precious money, which they clung to with such horrible fear. Thla happened to them again In New York—for, of esuras, they knew nothing about the country, and had no one to tell them, and It waa easy for a man In a blue uniform to lead them away, and to taka, them to a hotel and keep them there, and make them pay enormous charges to get away. The law asya that the rate- card shall bs on the door of a hotel, but It does not say that It shall be In ZsUhOiflltii. It war In tha stock yarda that Jonas' friend had rotten rich, and so to Chi- cago tha party waa bound. They knew that one word, Chicago—and that waa all they needed to know, at leaat, until they reached the city. Then, tumbled out of the cars without ceremony, they were no better off than before; they stood staring down the rleta of Dear born afreet, with Its big black build ings towering In tha distance, unable the prelude, which tells of their O social life, la to be followed by O a story of their toll In the big O I to realise that they had arrived, and r% vardiL O ! wI >y, when they ssld "Chicago,** people X * Lr * ., Tint nn o longer pointed In some direction, O (Copyright, 1I0«* by Vpton O j but | ngtefl4 i looked perplexed, or laugh- 11 Sinclair.

Down every side street they could see, it wns the same—never a hill and never a hollow, but always the same endless vista of ugly and dirty little wooden buildings.

But after each of these Interruptions tho desolate procession would begin again —the procession of dreary little build ings. A full hour before the party reached the city they had begun to note tho perplexing changes In the atmosphere. It grew darker all the time, and upon the earth the grass seemed to grow less green. Kvery minute, as the train •pad on, the colors of things became dingier; the fields were grown parched and yellow, the landscape hideous and bare. And along with the thickening smoke they begsn to notice another circumstance, n strange, pungent odor. They were not sure that It was un pleasant, this odor; some might have called It sickening, but their taste In odors was not developed, and they were only sure that It was curious. Now. sitting in the trolley car, they reall that they were on their way to the home of It^-thst they had traveled all the way from Lithuania to It. It was now no longer something fsr-off and faint, that you caught In whiffs; y*>u could literally taste It, ns well as smell It—you could take hold of It, almost, and examine it at yqur leisure.
