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 come, and as the good book says: “'Out ot the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,’ ’’ Mayor Bullard's Welcome to C.

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.” POTTS AND PARKS WE SELL LADIES’ GOODS.
