The feature of Palmetto’s enter
tainment last week of 750 members
of the Carriage Rudders’ National
Association, was the speeches of
Mayor D. 11. Bullard and Dr. Hal
Johnston. They appeared in last
Sunday’s Atlanta Journal and the
News takes pleasure in reproduc
ing them, as they arc among the
finest specimens of addresses of
this kind that we have ever seen
in print.
Dr. Johnston's Address.
"I am not going to make a great
speech, and if you should succeed
in hearing one, please do not men
tion it to my neighbors, as they
have never known that I was a
speaker. We welcome you to the
rural districts of Georgia, to the
old red hills, if you please, to the
Sunny South—the real thing,
where you see it in its beauty.
“This is the greatest nation to
he found on this revolving globe,
composed of a constellation ot the
greatest states that support any
government on earth. In this
constellation Georgia stands first,
on account of its location, climate,
soil, and production. Just over
the hill there behind my residence
was located the Garden of Eden,
where grew all manner of fruit.
The limiteH time you have will
prevent my going there and show
ing you the spot.
"In Georgia we grow all com
modities you raise in the east and
west, corn, wheat, oats, barley,
potatoes and the like; also’fruits
and berries of every kind and va
riety grown in this nation; garden
and field products endless in
number and variety, and all comes
! to excellent perfection in our
1 sunny clime.
"Rut you are here today to see
and study the cotton plant, and its
products, which is chief in our
agricultural production, and also
1 in value. This we are going to
plant; iet us consider its value lo
us and to the nation.
"In June, 1906, the department
of commerce at Washington gave
out the information that the export
value of cotton was worth 1*450,-
000,000. being of greater value
than any other article of export.
"Comparing this value with the
next highest, which is wheat, corn
and breadstuff's, the export valv;e
is about .1*250,000,000. Therefore,
you see that cotton is of more ex
port value by $200,000,000 than
any other article grown in the
United States.
"Of the cotton seed we make oil
in great variety—machine, lin
seed, castor and olive oil—as indy
cated by the label you find on the
package.
"The cotton seed hulls and meal
are valuable stock food products,
which nave an ever-increasing
value, now worth from £10 to *25
per ton, and the demand in excess
of the supply.
"The cotton stalk root is used
for medicine. From it we make ,
fluid extract and tinctures of cot
ton root, one ot the most valuable
medicines in our materia medica.
"The bark from the cotton stalk
is valuable, being an excellent sub
stitute for amie and jute, for mak
ing bale wrappings,
“Now, ladies and gentlemen,
with this explanation of the cotton
plant and its value, we again bid
you welcome. All we have here
is yours—and you are ours for this
occasion.
“Excuse me. I have made a
mistake. The address of welcome
is to be made by our honorable
mayor, but representing my neigh
bors, my own heart is full of wel

grows. We will exhibit to you the
cotton picking, the process of gin
ning, or separating the seed from
the lint, then the process of manu
facturing, which exhibits it from
the field to the finished goods
baled and ready to ship.
"Before you start to the fields I
desire to explain to you something
of the peculiarities of the cotton
plant. It will do to know and is
good for you to think about.
“First, cotton is a sun plant, an
emblem bf the south. We plant
in April and May. ft’hen it be
gins to put on leaves its peculiari
ties begin. First by spreading its
leaves in early morn with their
laces to the eastern sun. At noon
every leaf is turned skyward to see
the sun at the zenith of its glofy,
and gradually then turns its leaves
to the west to meet him as he
sinks to his setting.
"This is emblematic ot the
south and shows our reverence of
the great Creator, and exemplifies
the homage we pay our State and
national government.
“In June it blooms. On the
first day the bloom is snowy white.
This represents the south’s purity
of purpose and peaceful inclina
tion.
“The second day this same
bloom turns to crimson red, which
indicates anger, wrath and fight.
This represents the South because
we get wrathy and will fight, as
you know we did in the sixties.
"The third day our emblem
drops the red blooms, so the south
fights and then drops it.
"The fourth day it begins the
growth and construction of the
boll, that develops in its folds, the
staple and seed, that is the princi
pal source of its wealth and value.
•‘This again represents the south,
constructing on the battle fields
foundations for our commercial
greatness, and today we are busily
engaged with you in developing
the great resources of our nation’s
wealth that lay about us.
"But to return to the cotton
Mayor Bullard said in part:
"In behalf of the citizens of Pal
metto I extend to you a most cor
dial welcome. We are glad that
you have honored with your pres
ence the State of which we are
justly proud, and this section,
which we think surpasses all others
in its excellent climate, the adap
tibility of its soil to the growing
of all kinds of crops and fruits of
the temperate zone, its red old
hills rich in mineral wealth and in
its people, intelligent and indus
trious and all true Americans.!
"We welcome you not as a body
of idlers, but as men who make
labor more honorable by training
brain and hand together. We are
1 specially drawn to you because
your Interests are’our interests.
You take the virgin oak, hickory
and ash and with skilled hands
convert it into carriages for the
children’s dolls, phaetons for
grown folks and chariots of mar
velous beauty, fit for the pageant j
of a king.
“But of chief concern to us you
furnish the means of conveying to
the/ market the fleecy staple that
is king of the southland and of
which the lamented Henry Grady
said:
“ ‘It is gold from the time the
seed is planted until it is carried
to the market in bales of snow.’
"You have visited us in our
harvest time and have seen our
fields in all their glory. You will
hear the shouts of the merry
pickers as they vie with each other
in their happy work, and see how
well adapted is this race to their
present environments. You will
see the cotton made into bales of
cloth and ready for the trade of
the world.
"We are both working together
in a common cause, both making
for a higher civilization. May the
time come when in every empori
um of trade the staple will be
crowned king and be rolling into
market in teams of wagons made
of American wood and by Ameri
can manufacturers.”
