General Evans began his address with a tribute to the women of the South, through whose efforts the statue to Mr. Davis had besn erected. Taking up, then, the Influences which had moulded the life of the future president of the Confederacy, the •peaker traced his lineage from Eng lish ancestors who migrated to America ,B 'o generations before his birth, set tling in the South. His father and grandfather, on his father’s side, had fought In the Revolutionary War and thre older brothers had borne arms In the War of 1112. Mr. Davis appoint ed to the National Military Academy by President Monroe, graduated In 1*23, receiving appointment aa lieuten ant. At once he was assigned to ardu. ous service In the great Western coun try. to protect settlers against Indian Incursions and attacks. After a serv ice of seven years, during which he ' w on fame In which his country gladly Buve him then and should not forget now," Mr. Davis returned to his Mis sissippi home,.from which he was sent Immediately to. congress. Two years later the Mexican War threatened and resigning his place In congress he led a regiment of Mississippi rifles. He rendered brilliant sendee at Monterey and Buena Vista and returned once more to his Mississippi home. He re turned his political career In congress, being elevated to the United States •enaie and to the cabinet of President Pierce as secretary of war. Outlived Sectional Feeling. With the cohafderatlon of Mr. Da vis' political career the speaker dis cussed at some length the Issues which fd to the Civil Wur, mainly tile right >f secession. He said: "Mr. Davis accepted the Ideas of the Organised labor has not weakened In Its tight since the announcement that organised employers will raise millions to light the .unions. Atlanta has taken the first step in a battle of men and money .against manufactmSOc* and mil lions, and the battle may be a long and fierce one. At the meeting of the Atlanta Typp graphical Union, No. 4S, Sunday a re«- olutlon was adopted calling upon the International Typographical organize tlon to set aside (500,000 to bo used as defense fund against the proposed warfare on union labor. A resolution was also adopted urging other bodies belonging to the American Federation of Labor to take similar steps. The Typographical Union alone has already spent more than 24,000,000 In the past two years In establishing the 8-hour-day rule In printing establish ments, and Is not apt to weaken In the face of the manufacturers' action. In The Georgian has been published the action of the National Manufactur ers’ Association of America, which has pledged Itself to set aside annually 1500,000 to bo used In fighting union labor. This has called forth a strong protest from unions throughout the country. The Atlanta Typographical Union Is the first to. take a definite step toward preparing for defense. At the meeting Sunday the old offi cers of the local union were renomi nated, and their election la assured. They are: Wade P. Harding, president; J. J. Hobby, vice president; Walter H. Grant, secretary-treasurer; W. 8. Wardlaw, recording secretary; Dan W. Green, arbitrator. The following Is the text of the reso. lutlons adopted: "The Atlanta Typographical Union, No. 48, In meeting assembled, do here by take cognisance of the following facts, towlt: That, "Whereas, Tho National Manufactur ers' Association of America, at their convention In New York city recently, did pledge themselvea to appropriate annually the sum of 8500,000 to be spent In a warfare against organised labor and the principles of unionism, and by so doing Juts thrown down the gauntlet as a warning to organised la bor bodies that they Intend to use their corporate wealth In a warfare that means the life or death of the rights of the working people of this country to rganls* for their mutual benefit and protection against the 'organised,' •trust-combined' and 'tariff-protected' Industries of the United States: there by denying the working man his rights to demand a fair and equitable share PLACED GARLANDS ON SPOT WHERE BA VIS TOOK'-QA TH : - - Montgomery, Ala., June 3.—In Montgomery, the "cradle of the Confed* > eracy,” the observance of General Lee's request..to suspend business dur- 'Ing the UnVelllUg of the Davis monument Is being generally observed.

The suggestion that the ministers take some action was made by Dr. C. Jarrell, pastor uf Groce Methodist church. This is the devil's bait,” said Dr. Jarrell, "which has been thrown out to the Sunday schools of Atlanta. They have already got the baseball park at Ponce DeLeon and I have no doubt that this Invitation Id the forerunner of an uttempt to'get baseball on Sunday.

For five minutes nearly everything was at a standstill. It Is doubtful If ever before there was sver such a general cessation of busi ness und traffic as there was on Mon day afternoon. Wlieels stopped turning In the big manufacturing plants and employees stopped their tasks. The offices In the city hall closed at noon by order of Mayor Joyner and all the banks observed the legal holiday. Railway trains ceased running and the trolley cars were at a standstill. Every department of the Georgia Rail- way and Electric Company ceased -op erations for those five minutes while the statue of President Jefferson Davis was being unveiled in Richmond. Even the elevators In some of the buildings quit' work and bugy workers wondered why they could not get from the top of the tall buildings to the ground.- All Machinery Stops. Not only,In the big mannfactdrlng plants and cotton mills were, the wheels stopped from turning, but In the small er plants as well. The shops connected with the railroads observed the rule as well as the trains running on the rail roads. Promptly at 1 o’clock. Just aa the bell In lira headquarters began tolling, every wheel ceased turning In the plant of The Georgian and the clicking of typewriters ceased. And five minutes at that time of the day probably meant more to a newspaper than to the ma jority of those who observed the rule. Every employee of The Georgian stopped work until the live minutes had passed. Had some of the trolley car motor- men or conductors forgotten the orders, they could not have operated their cars for the big dynamos which supply the current were stopped promptly at I o'clock. Everything at the • plant stopped except the dynamos supplying lights to the city and power for manu facturing plants. Exercises st Capitol.

Mr. Mitchell said that every grain of gold In the plate had been mined In Georgia, within 20 miles or the Bul loch home, aiid according to the offi cial assay of the government, it le the purest gold that has been found In a natural state anywhere In the country.

New Orleans, June 3.—Another chapter was added to the famous Greene and Gaynor conspiracy case today when the United States court of appeals in an extensive decision rendered by Judge Shel by affirmed the judgment of the trial court whereby the defendants were found guilty and sentenced to pay fines aggregating over half million dollars and to serve a long term of imprisonment at Atlanta.

Growth and Progress of the New South The Georgian records bars eaeh day seas economic fact In reference to the onward ■arch nf th* Louth. BY J08EPH B. LIVELY. suit of a steady growth during the past 16 years, products of the'South werevalued at (38.000,000. The exposition at Jamestown will show among other things, what the South has dorte and Is doing In the line of industrial progress. The ad vance made by the South, during the last decade, In the development of her resources of water powers, forests, mineral wealth and agricultural products, -has been at a rata which Is almost beyond belief. To the uninitiated the natural resources of the Southern states In cotton, coal and Iron may seem to be the strong features of .Southern op portunity. It Is true that they are the foundations on which have been built Industries which are among ths greatest wealth creating factors In the world; but they represent only a portion of the South’s advantages. It’will be found, for example, that one-half of the standing timber of th* United States Is below Mason and Dixon's line, and that the lum- '—‘ — -* “—**- 'nance'which Is the re in 1880 the lumber HP In 1868 this valuation was Increased to 230,700,000 and In 1905 the value of lumber products of the South' reached the sum of 8250,000,000. While the visible supply of timber In many sections of the North and West Is steadily diminishing, Southern saw mills are cutting great quantities 1 of pine, and large tracts of cypress and swamp timber are be ing »|>ened up. The timber supply has been gauged sufficiently to deter mine Its limitations and tha effort today Is dlrecttd toward sawing all timber economically and so conserving the supply. As typical of the class of Improved saw mill machinery found neces sary to accomplish this end, there Is on exhibition a band mill and saw mill carriage of the type and method of construction offered by one cf the foremost builders of saw mill machinery In the world at the James town Exposition. The band mltl waa tha latest of the principal modern developments In the saw mill machinery, and the telescopic band mill Is the most Im portant Improvement In band sawing. The double cutting hand mill, which had added more than 40 par cent to the capacity of the saw mills ot America, was first Introduced by the same company. To furnish some Idea of the execution of which these machines are capable. It may b* stated that a band mill, operating at one of the lead ing mills, recently made a new cutting record for the South. Out of 162 logs, consisting of assorted hardwood, ash, oak, gum. maple and elm, cut In 0 3-4 hours, 08.521 feat of lumber were produced.
