WITH VISITING SPINNERS; EUROPEAN GUESTS SEE MANY POINTS OF INTEREST Under the able leadership of Mayor Monday night, when the delegates Joyner and Walter O. Cooper, secre tary of the Chamber of Commerce, as sisted by members of the city council and later reinforced by Professor K. O. Matheson, about 200 cotton spinners of Europe and of the East visited the Georgia School of Technology Monday afternoon and were shown through all the buildings and departments. To some of the delegates the work at the Tech was nothing short of a revela tion. All expressed themselves as pleased and quite agreeably surprised at the high grade of work that la being accomplished at the splendid technical college. The repair shop, the wood-work shop, the chemical laboratory, the French textile school—all departments. In fact —were visited In turn. The trip concluded with a visit to the athletic field, where the delegates saw Coach Helsman and his great bunch of football players In the midst of a stren uous practice. The delegat e ______ dal cars, leaving the Piedmont Hotel at 2:45 o’clock. Atlanta’s supply of post cards de picting negro and cotton scenes has been greatly diminished by the heavy orders of the foreign spinners, who are sending them back to Europe by the bag full. At the stand In the Piedmont Monday the Btook was completely depleted and the foreign visitors had' to content themselves with photographs of Atlan ta's tall buildings. They prefer the photographs of the pickaninnies and cotton bolls when they can get,them, for Europe Is by no means the home of cotton or darkles In their natural state. "If you want to see and understand negroes as they are," said Judge Andy Calhoun, of the dty court, addesslng a group of German spinners at the Pied mont Hotel Monday, Just come down to my court tomorrow morning and look on for a few minutes. I guarantee that you will see and hear things about ne groes that you never even read.” The foreign visitors were delighted with the Invitation and accepted Imme diately. Many of them had never been to America before, much less visited the criminal branch of a Southern court "This seems quite unusual and yet very agreeable,” said one of the young Belgian spinners to an Atlantan with whom he had Just struck up an ac quaintance. "1 believe for this reason I would like to live In America. In my country we never have anything to do with a man to whom we have not been formally Introduced. The social lines are many and strict. 1 think I like your democracy." The foreign spinners are still trying to fathom prohibition. To them It seems a curtailing of personal liberty. "We would make a revolution, I think. If we had prohibition In Belgium,” said one. Two Americana, pne of whom came over with the party of spinners from Europe, and the other an Atlantan, happened to overhear a conversation between a prominent English spinner and a German companion. "Rather sudden and unusual In their methods of doing things—these Ameri can!,," said the Englishman, "but genu ine fellows and line hosts.” The American traveler remarked to the Atlantan: ”1 have been In the car with the party for some time since they hrst landed and what that gentleman raid la about their consensus of opinion, when you boll it down/ A group of Florida planters, who grow tiea Island cotton exclusively, are registered at the Aragon Hotel and are among the most Interested dele gates at the big convention of cotton growers and spinners.

As a general thing when the king wants anything, the owner sends It to him aa a gift or his majesty has one of hla court officers go out and get It with out any mention of price until the time comes for payment. But In the case of Mr. Banka It was different, for the ex act figure was named by both aides be fore there was any transfer of goods. The following letter, written to the king by Mr. Banks, despite the protes tations of friends who said that they never heard of such a thing, explains the deal: "To His Majesty. King Edward VII; "I have made a aeries of photographs of your majesty’s visit to Manchester and am having them bound In album form. The price of the album complete Is flve guineas. I would please to for ward one to your majesty. •'Your obedient servant. •ROBERT BANKS." Several days later Mr. Banks re ceived the following letter; which he has preserved: "Buckingham Palace. ’’19th July. 1905. Sir—I have had the honour of sub mitting your letter of the 15th Instant to the king and I am commanded to Inform you In reply that his majesty will purchase one of your volumes of ^holographs of his vlalt to Manchester, 'or five guineas. "I am, air, your obedient servant, •RUDTZ.” That settled the bargain with the king and a few days later'Mr. Banks sent the album. A check from the keeper of bla majesty’s privy purae for flve guineas closed the deal. This bit of business with the king gave Mr. Banka the title of "Photogra pher to the King," and he haa a hand some gold medal bearing this Inscrip tion. U. S, ENDED BIG NEVADA STRIKE Tmmpnti.
