EUROPEAN COTTON MEN VISIT GEORGIA FIELDS AND ‘EAT BARBECUE’
|

By DUDLEY GLASS.
LAGRANGE, Oct. 11.—Everybody
in and around LaGrange says Fuller
Callaway is a prince, which he is,
but mixing around with Fuller hasn’t
heretofore caused any social prob-.
lems for Troup County folks, for they
call him “Fuller” or ‘“the boss.”
But the question of titles came up
and slammed LaGrange spang be
tween the ribs today, when 300 or
finore delegates to the great cotton
¢onference at New Orleans stopped
over for a day, parked their two spe
cial trains on the siding and took' in
the sights of the town and the mills,
and enjoyed a genuine Georgia bar
becue at the home of Mr. Callaway.
Among the two hundred European
visitors who have been seeing cot
%fields for the first time are such
parsonages as Sir A. Herbert Dixon
of St. James Sqguare, Manchester,
England, and Sir James H. Simpson
of the Bank of Liverpool, and Sir
Joseph Barton de Dobenin Jr. of
Nove Mesto, Bohemia, Czecho-Siov
akia.
THEY HELPED FULLER.
The good citizens of LaGrange who
pitched in and helped Fuller Calla
way entertain the visiters by pro
viding automobiles and information
and conversation naturally wanted
to do the right thing. They knew
F¥uller had traveled all over Europe
and hobnobbed with royalty and
knew how to address dukes and
earls, and they didn’'t want to show
Fuller up in his home town by not
knowing how to act. So they started
?t to do things up brown.
But, by jings, this thing of a “Sir”
in front of a man’s name does get
one all balled up, doesn’t it? Some
how, “Sir Herbert” doesn’t come trip
pingly to the tongue of a Georgia
man. It wasn't more than fifteen
minutes before *it was “Sir Dixon,”
which is a dreadful fox pass.
And Sir James Simpson was ac
companied by his good lady and his
daughter, Miss Hope Simpson, and
theres nct a darn bit of advice in
the Farmer’s Almanac about how to
address the wife of a baronet. So
she was “Lady Simpson” and “Mrs.
fimpson” and nobody knew her first
name, so they couldn’t address her
as “Lady Margaret” or “Lady Gwen
}dollne," or anything like that.”
W But Fuller Callaway solved the
prohlem, as he does most. Every
body looks alike to the man who
made LaGrange the great cotton mill
town that it is. He had just as
soon slap a crown prince ofi the back
as a dJoffer in one of his mills. and
the little matter of a “Sir” prefixed
to a name means nothing whatever
in his life.
He would be a “Sir” or something
better if his mills were in England
instead of in Georgia. But perhaps
he thinks beifg a king in his home
town is better. o ‘
He got around the social vexation
by calling everybody “Bill” or syion"
@and let it go at that. And everybody
seemed to be perfectly satisfied.
Nor was their question of prece
dence at the barbecue. The first
man who could get hold of a slice
of lamb and a pint of Brunswick
stew backed off against a tree and
proceeded to surround it, and I no
ticed that Sir Hern. and Sir Joe ran
@ bite-to-Lite finish with the cham
rion barbecue consumer of Troup
County.
There are deiegates from Italy and
Sweden, anq Norway and France.
There are delegates from Brazil and
" Czecho-Slovakia and Switzegiand
and Holland. There is a group from
Belgium. But a careful search failed
to reveal a visitor from Germany, S 0
no trouble ensued.
ble ensued.
EVERY AUTO IN COUNTY.
it appeared that every automobile
1n Troup' County, which is rich in
every brand from the $4,000 speed
sters to the poor but proud Henry F.,
was waiting at the special trains for
the visitors to wake up and shave
and be shown the town. |
Mr. Callaway, if he desired, could
put ‘it all over some of those titled
guys from England by pointing to a
thousand loyal retainers. He could
even show up the McGregor of Clan
MecGregor, whose thousands of clans
men were at his call, when it comea
to rounding up assistants in show
irg off LaGrange.
Because everybody is tickled to
death tn turn out and help Fuller
on a big day, and there are many
big days at his place.
After the tour wr the mills and
the model mill villages, a look into
the schoois and the hospital and the
playgrounds and the mill hotels for
mill girls and all the modern im
provements which have made the La-
Grange mills a pleasant place to
work, the visitors weund up at the
splendid home of Mr. Callaway, a
nile out of the town, and one of the
sFow places of Georgia.
The English visitors had a glimpse
of home here in the ancient gardens,
planted by Mr. and Mrs. Ferrell, gen
erations ago. The TFarrells loved
their formal garden, lined by trim
~ut box hedges and containing treesl
and shrubs from almost every land.
Mr. Callaway bought the old place
some years ago, erected a modern
mansion on the site of the Ferrell
heuse, but he did not alter the lovely
English zarden, except to restore
some of the time-worn walls and
clear the undergrowrn from neglect
ed beds.
There are many handsome homes
in Georgia, but there is no other gar
den like this—the scene of ten thou
sand courtships of LaGrange folks,
for it has always been open to the
public, and the home of a score of
mocking birds which Fuller Callaway
calls by name.
Besides the European visitors there
were many New England delegates to
the New Orleans convention, many
of whom, had never seen a cotton
field until this tip to the South. The
party on the two special trains spent
T hursday in Charlotte, visiting tee
mills, and Friday in Greenville, where
other mills were visited, and in both
places they were shown cotton fields

left unpicked for the occasion.
A big field was kept in LaGrange
also, and the visitors saw not only
a great gang of negro cotton pickers
at work, but a demonstration of ‘a
new cotton picking machine.
The visitors were escorted to La-
Grange by C. J. Callaway, Fuller E.
Callaway having been detained in
Washington, where he was serving
on the industrial ccnference as a
member appointed by the President:
He came straight through to La-
Grange, however, to be host to the
Europeans he had invited to visit
him, and wil¥ return at once to re
sume his work in the industrial con
ference.
The visit of the cotton spinners
and weavers and dealers from Europe
is by no means merely a pleasure
trip. It is intendéd to give the vis
itors an insight into true conditions
in the country where cotton is pro
duced.
The con’erence at New Orleans is
expected to be far:reaching in its
effects. It will take up a score of
problemys which haveagterfered with
complete harmony in dealings be
tween the nations, and it is hoped
tkat many misunderstandings will be
removed.
At the New Orleans conference
there will be hundreds of delegates
besides those on poard the specials
which leave tonight for that eity.
They are goin% down from all over
the United SthAtes, from Argentina,
Canada, Chile, China, Japan, Colom
bia, Cuba, Denmark, India, Persia,
Peru, Poland, Portugal, Russia and
Spain. There will be ten sessions of
the conference, beginning Monday.

DETROIT, Mich,, Oct. 11.—" Maybe
there are politicians who have made
the Lieague of Nations a political is
sue; maybe there are those who are
fiddling while the world is burning,
but we have not a dance to their
fiddling.”
So passionately cried Bishop Charles
P. Anderson of Chicago, as he spoke
in support of a resolution he intro
duced into the House of Bishops in
favor of the League of Nations. The
resolution ran as follows:
“Resolved, That the bishops of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, assem
bled in Detroit. hereby endorse the
League of Nations and the covenant
of peace and express the earnest hope
that the United Sfates Senate will
speedily ratify the same.”
BRINGS ON DEBATE.
He argued strongly that the league
raised a moral issue and that the
church was bound to give it her un
avalified support. ’
The resolution led to a full dress de
bate, the speeches on both sides being
punctuated with loud applause, both
from the floor and the spectators who
crowded the galleries. A strong
'\s_pee(‘h in opposition was made by
Eishop William Lawrence of Massa
l(‘husetts, who expressed his regret
that the resolution had been intro
duced.
“l am not ready,” he said, *“to un
dertake moral leadership by support
of an imroral act.”
He expressed his readiness to sup
port a league »f nations, hut not a
league open to misunderstandings
among nations, and possibly war.
WILL WEAKEN TAFT, HE SAYS.
“We do not know,” he declared.
“whether this resolution will help
those who want a league, and it will
weaken the hands of Mr. Taft, who is
now pressing for reservations.”
Bishop William A. Guerry of South
Carolina asked how many members
of the House of Bishops had read the
treaty of peace and how could they
lead the conscience of the world if
they went on record in favor of the
Shantung Provision.
“China,” he cried, “has been our,
friend; our country asked China to
come into the war, and now we be
tray her.”
Meanwhile, a substitute res%lutlon
had been moved by Bishop C. B.
Brewster of Connecticut, in the fol
lowing:
“That the bishops of.the Episcopal
Church assembled in Detroit respect
fully express to the Senate of the
United States their earnest hope for
such early action on the part of the
Senate as may.secure the participa
tion of our country in a covenant of
nations which shall effectively guar
antee the authority of international
law and protect the world from con
ditions that may menace its peace.”
INFLUENCED BY SHANTUNG.
This was done in order, if possible,
to enable the bishops to present a
unified front. The vote was taken
and Bishop Anderson’s resolution un
qualifiedly endorsing the present plan
| for a league of nations was defeated
by.a vote of 58 to 44,
Bishop Anderson then mowed that
the resolution of the Bishop of Con
necticut should be made unanimous,
which was done,
It was evident throughout that the
bishops were greatly influenced by
the Shantung provisions and strongly
opposed them.
The actlon of the bishops will have
considerable weight with the House
of Clerical Lay Deputies, which now
has awaiting consideration a resolu
tion presented by the Rev. Dr. G. G.
Meade of Mississippi, giving unqual-1
fied endorsement to the league.
Dr. Meade has announced his inten
tion of pressing his resolution, which,
if passed, will run counter to the ac
tion of the bishops. -~ |

A GAIN the “buck” for the war

by the man the Berlin govern
ment named as the arch con
spirator in its recent “official”
Red Book, said to be official
documents relating to events
prior to the war in 1913 and
1914,
Count von Berchtold, foreign
minister: of Austria Hungary
during those fateful days of 1914,
says his conversations with the
German ambassador led. him
to believe the German govern
ment confidently expected war
like actions on the part of Aus
tria-Hungary against Serbia. He
lays the direct blame of the war
on the kaiser and his ministers.
Von Berchtold is one of those
the allies have demandsd for trial
before an international tribunal
as responsible for the war. His
replieg to the German charges
may form an important histori

By PAUL STEVENSON.
When some stranger knocks on
your door during bleak January and
immediately begins to talk to you in
rapid-fire fashion something like this,
“Howoldareyou, married,singledordi
vorced, colorsexandage, likecreamin
yourcoffeeornot?”” dqon’t be alarmed—
it's only the census man.
They're going to take the census
here in Atlanta during the first two
weeks in January, Heginning January
2, so look up the old family Bible,
find out all about yourself and your
family and be ready to tell the census
taker your real name.
Already the blanks have arrived for
the instruction of the census takers
and the government has even excesd
ed its rceord in the income tax matter
in the entangled language it uses in
telling you what you must do.
MARSHBURN IN CHARGE.
Capt. Walter O. Marshburn will
have charge of the census in the Fifth
District, which includes Atlanta. He
has established offices at 27 1-2 Ex
change place, but the census will be
over before you can ever find out
where Exchange place is. Its in the
Atlanta Theater building, and even
after you find the theater it takes a
couple of hours to find the office of
the census man.
I But after you find Captain Marsh
'burn you will get all the information
you want in six blanks containing'
about 10,000 different ‘sentences ex
plaining what you must do. After
you have read over the government
explanation blanks awd copies of the]
Congressional Record containing the
debate in both Houses of Congress
vou know less than when you started.
Then it's a good idea to ask Captain
Marshburn a few questions and get
the informatiog quickly and in more
undérstandable form,
STAFF IS FORMING.
The census taking here will require
about 250 enumerators, Captain
lMarshburn is now forming his staff
land is r iving many applications.
The enum ors will be paid for the
- number o nks they sign up in
each famil The government is to
pay not less¥than two cents and not
more than four cents for each person
in citles whose name is taken in the
census. This is from two to four
cents more than some of the names
are worth in Atlanta, but the old
saying “that fellow ain’'t worth a
cent” is forever shattered—they're
worth at least two cents to the gov
ernment, anyway,
-~ The pay in the rural districts is
to be not less than 20 cents and not
more than 30 cents for each farm
reported; not less than 20 cents and
not more than 50 cetns for each ir-"
rigation or drainage enterprise re
ported, and 10 cents for each barn
and enclosure containing live stock
not on farms. In some cases the
census director has authority to fix
the per diem pay based on the diffij
culty of securing names.
Qualifications and duties of the
census enumerators are set forth as
follows:
DUTIES OF ENUMERATORS.
The act of March 3, 1919, under the
provisions of which the fourteenth
census of the United States is to be
taken, prevides for the appointment
of supervisors of census, one or
more to each _State, the District of
Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii and Porto
Rico, to have general supervision
within their respective districts of
the enumeration to be made in Jan
uary, 1920. One of the duties im
posed upon these supervisors by the
eensus act is the designation of suit
able persons to be employed, with
the consent of the director of the cen
sus, as enumerators within their re
spective districts. It is further pro
vided that such persons shall be se
lected solely with reference to fit
ness, and without reference to their
political party affiliations.
Under the provisions of the census
act, the enumeration in January,
1920, is restricted to inquiries relal-l
ing to population, so agriculture, to
manufactures, to forestry and forest
products, and to mines and quarries,
but, under the disoretionary power
vested in the director of the census,
the inquiries relative to anufac
tures, to forestry and ‘torestltwroducts
and to mines and quarries will for
the most part be collected either by
speclal agents appointeéd directly by
the director or by employees of the
Census Bureau speclally detailed for
that purpose,
The census act provides that the
enumeration of population and agri
culture shall begin on January 2,
1920, and that each enumerator shall
complete the work required in his
district within thirty days in the case
of rural districts and small towns,
and within two weeks in teh case of
any incorporated city, town, village
or borough which had 2,600 inhabi
tants or more under the census of
1910.
The law requires that an enumera
tor, so far as practicable, be an ac
tual resident of the subdivision with
in which his duties are to be per
formed. He should be familiar with
its territory and the general charac
ter of its people.
ACTIVE MEN WANTED.
The census requires as enumera
tors active. energetic persons of
good address. They must be be
tween 18 and 70 years of age, eitizens
of the United States, and be thor
oughly trustworthy, honest, and of
good habits. They must have at

Bernard M. Baruch, perhaps the closest friend and adviser of the Presi
dent, exCept, of course, Colonel House, who is the prircipal worker for
harmony in the industrial conference now on at Washington. This*pic
ture is a scene from International News No. 41, issued by International re
{eased by Universal Film Co.
and must be emdorsed by two rep
resentative business men of the com
munity in which the applicant re
sides. {
All applicants for appointment as
enumerators will be required to sub
mit to a test, to be prescribed by the
director of the census, to. determine
their fitness for thé work. This test
will be of a practical character, econ
sisting of the’filling cut es a sample
schedule of population from data
furni¢hed, and in the case of
cnumerators whose work will be in
rural districts, the filling out of a
sample schedule of agriculture.
Each applicant is furnished with
an illustrative example (form 9-129)
of the manner of filling the popula
tion schedule and, in country dis
trlcts‘. with an_illustrative example
(form' 9-130) ‘of < the agricultural
schedule, to which, in the main, the
work of the ecensus enumerators 18
confined.'
These forms of schedules are fur
nished for the information of the ap-.
plicant and should be studied and
preserved for use in connection with
the test referred to in the preceding
paragraph. :
It will be necessary for each enum
erator, befdre entering upon his du
ties, to receive a commission, under
the hand of the supervisor of the
district to which he belongs and to
take and subscribe an oath or af
firmation that he will faithfdlly dis
charge all the dtties required of him
under the law.
The census act also provides that
an enumerator, after accepting an
appointment and qualifying for the
work, ecan not, “without justifiable
cause,” refuse or negleet to perform
the duties of the position; and he
will further be required to devote his
entire working time to the census
during the perioq of the enumeration,
PREPARE YOURSELF.
s When the census man calls you
‘'must be prepared to say whether or
not vou are the head of the house,
stell if you own the home you live in
or rent, if owned tell of mortgages, if
any, and how much; sex, color, mfie
at last birthday; single, married,
widow or divorced; year of immigra
tion to the United States, naturalized
or alien—if naturalized, give year of
naturalization—atténdance in school
}ut any time since September 1, 1919;
‘whether able to read and write,
;whethor able to speak English; trade,
profession or particular kind of work
done; industry, business or establish
ment in which work is done; state
whether you are employei, salary or
‘wage worker or working on own ac
count.
The census enumerator must fill in
the blank with the street, avenue or
road in which the citizen lives, !
‘house number or farm, number of
ldwelling house In order of visitation
and number of family in order of
visgitation. He fills in the name of
‘en(_:h member of the family whose
place of abode January 1, 1920, was
in the house visited. Bvery person
living in a home should be included
‘except children born after January 1,
1920,
} CITIZENS MUST HELP.
Captain Marshburn said that it is
particularly -important that all citi
‘zens of Atlanta co-operate fully in\
giving complete information to the
enumerators. He said Atlanta hasl
}not taken in much additional terri-
\
tory since 1910 and that if the city
is to make the showing it should make
that the names of all persons should
be turned in to the enumerators. .
One thing Atlanta people must be
careful about this census is in giving
the names of people who live in
double houses. Captain Marshburn
says much of Atlanta’s population is
found in houses occupied by two or
more families.
He particuarly stresses the impor
tance of giving all the names in each
family. He said many cases have oc
curred where an enumerator would
visit a house and would be told only
one name, Later a second visit
would be made and it was found that
the occupant of the house had failed
to say that his fathey and mother or
chéldren were also living there,
¢ “Why I did not know you wanted
them,” would be the statement given
the enumerator, 1
TO AVOID “SKIPPING.” |
Captain Marshburn says such in
stances were innumerable in the last
census and he hopes to avoid it in
the coming tabulation. .
The census rules réquire the enu-
Meration of all people “in their place
of abode.” This means usually where
people sleep. Attenfion is called to
the fact that there will be many peo
ple whose “usual place of abode” is'
in a certain distri¢ct who are not per
sonally in the district at the time the
enumeration is made, These must be
enumerated, the information to be ob
tained from the family, relatives or
friends. This is an important thing
in [Atlanta as many Atlanta men are
traveling salesmen and many other
citizens are in other cities attending
school or for other purposes when'
the census is taken. ¢
It is well to note also that every
person must answer the questions
asked by the enumerator. The law
requires it and sever penalties may
be inflicted for refusal.

Staff Correspondent of the I. N. 8.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—Senator
Norris, Republican, of Nebraska is
0 resume in the Senate today his
address in opposition to the Shantung
and other provisions of the peace
treaty with Germany, in accordance
with the agreement reached by thé
Republican and Democratic leaders
that speechmaking and the reading
of the treaty should continue until
Wednesday next at least.
The sum and substance of .the
agreement was that no vote should
be forced by either side on the pend
ing Shantung amendment or any
other proposed textual changes in the
treaty before Wednesday next.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
planned to deliver today his carefully
prepared address in which he prom
ised to reveal the real inside story of
Japanese encroachment upon China
and how Japan was able to force the
so-called Shantung ‘‘settlement’” upon
the peace conference and into the
peace treaty.
HOPE FOR COMPROMISE.
Republican leaders claimed that
they would be able to muster enough
voteés to bring about the adoption of
& compromise amendment to equalize
the six votesythe British empire and
the one vote the United States are
given in the League of Nations as
sembly under the terms of the pres
ent treaty.
Senator Lenroot of Wlsconflin.’bné
of the Republican “mild reservation
ists,” was given credit for the com?
promise amendment which was the
outcome of a series of conferences,
It was described as embracing Jhe
idea of the original amendment spon.
sored by Senator Moses of New
Hampshire, a Republican member of
the Senate foreign relations com
mittee, that the United States refuse
to agree to any ILeague settimnt in
which she was out-voted by any other
nation and the latter’s possessions,
dominions or colonies.
JOHNSON BACKERS FIRM.
Supporters of Senator Hiram John
son of California, who is due to re
turn to the Senate early next week
from his speech making tour to the
West in opposition to the treaty as it
is now constituted, intimated today
that any amendment involving the
¢ix to one proposition that did not
bear Johnson's name would be sup
ported by them. They added that
they did not intend to allow the six
to one amendment to be Kknown,
whether carried or beaten, by any
other title than that of the Johnson
amendment,
. Conceding .that the Shantung and
other amendments were due for the
same kind.of a defeat that was ac
corded the Fall amendments recently,
Johnson's friends predicted that with
the aid of four or five, if not more,
Democratic votes, the six to -one
amendment would be adopted by a
majority vote.
