C. B. N. A. Entertained at
Palmetto.
Delegates to the Carriage Build
ers’ National Association were
given the treat of their lives yes
terday.
At io o’clock in the morning a
special train containing about 750
persons pulled out of the terminal
station for Palmetto over the At
lanta and West Point railroad.
A negro hand was on the train
and the trip was enlivened with
southern melodies, which greatly
delighted the northern visitors.
Shortly before 11 o’clock the
special arrived at the Palmetto
cotton mills. The delegates and
their friends were heartily wel
comed by Dr. Hal I., Johnson,
vice president ot the Palmetto
cotton m ils, and Hon. 1), P». Bul
lard, mayor ol Palmetto.
Mr. Johnson explained in ex-
tenso the nature of the cotton
plant and drew some apt cum pari
sons of the plant and people who
produced it. 11 is remarks were
punctuated with applause.
Mayor Bullard was equally hap
py in his remarks and he, too, was
frequently applauded.
Following the speaking the dele
gates, in squads of twenty, were
placed in charge ot guides and con
ducted to the cotton fields. In the
he Ids were some twenty or twenty-
five typical negroes of all ages and
both sexes, all working indus
triously for the prize and having
little time to talk to the inquisitive
northerners who had never wit
nessed such a scene before and
who plied each and every one of
the darkies with questions. In age
the negroes ranged from the coon-
let who could barely top a cotton
stalk to “Uncle Tom,’’ who is 80
years of age, has twenty-three
children, and is still able to pick
200 pounds of cotton a day.
Kodaks were in evidence on all
sides and any number of pictures
were taken.
After the contest was over the
visitors were allowed to overrun
the field and gather all the cotton
they cared to take away. A ma
jority carried away dozens of stalks
which they seemed to prize highly.
Following the contest the guides
took the visitors through the gin
house and the cotton mill. The
gin was in full operation and all
were given an opportunity to wit
ness the process of separating the
cotton from the seed. The cotton
mill was next visited. This, too,
proved interesting.
From the plantation the special
train went to Palmetto, where the
ladies of the town had prepared an
elegant luncheon, consisting of
fried chicken, salads, sandwiches
of various kinds, olives, pickles,
lemonade, grape juice and other
things. The negro quartet en
livened things with songs. Many
of the delegates amused themselves
tossing coins to the small negro
boys and found great pleasure in
watching them scramble for them.
The day was voted one of the
most pleasant in the history of the
organization and each of the dele
gates was delighted with the hos
pitality of the southern people.
Klliott Dunn and J E. Smith
deserve a great deal of credit for
the success of the trip ar.d receiv
ed many congratulations.

the reception and entertainment

President Johnson Discusses
Ginners’ Reports.

Atlanta, Ga., October 31.—
(Special.)—That the cotton pro
ducer should go slow in acting up
on the strength of the recent gin
ners’ report and the “bear” claims
of a late crop, is th# warning given
today by President M. L. Johnson
of the Georgia Division* Southern
Cotton Association.
“There is no doubt in my mind
that the ginners’ report of October
25th over-shot the mark,” Prcsi
dent Johnson said. “I base my
belief not only upon the fact that
we have not had sufficient picking
weather since the September re
port to justify the figures given,
and every one is generally aware
of the bad weather we have had;
but also I am confirmed in my
opinion that the figures were too
high, by numerous reports which
I have received since the ginners'
report was published, indicating
clearly that the receipts of cotton
did not justify these figures.
“Again, I note the claims evi
dently from ‘bear’ sources of a late
crop—a claim which a moment’s
thougit will convince any one, is
absurd. The early frosts which
are general through the cotton
belt, stopped the development of
the cotton and brought the crop to
early maturity.
“I have contended all along and
I hold now that cotton is worth to
day more than 11 cents. 1 firmly
believe that it is worth right now
over 12 cents, and that the farmer
ought to have at least that price.
In this opinion I see I am upheld
by one of the foremost industrial
writers in the country, Richard H.
Edmonds, of the Baltimore Manu
facturers’ Record, who said in an
article publish'd a few days ago:
“‘With the advance in the price
of labor throughout the country,
cotton growing is costing the
Southern farmer much more than
a few years ago, and I am very
much inclined to think that he is
justly entitled not simply to 11
cents a pound, but a good deal
more than that, and that there
should be no let-up in the fight ot
the whole South for better and
more uniform prices for cotton.’
“Let the producer consider these
facts before rushing into the mar
ket. He ought to have, and, I am
convinced, can get by biding his
time, at least 12 cents for his prod
uct, if not more ”
Tomorrow's tasks look easy to-
is no sign of
day.
