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. Among those who assisted in the reception and entertainment were R. M. Holley, W. L. Herrington, Major K. P. Thorn ton, Captain Lewis Ballard, Dr. ,1. A. Carlton, Dr. I. K. C. W. Smith, F. R. Smith, B. S. Roan, W. G. Griffith, T. E. Culbreath, J. Hugh Johnson, Dr. T. P.

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.
