EUROPFAN COTTON MEN VISIT GEORGIA FIELDS AND ‘EAT BARBECUE
'
? T fl MA N Y
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
more delegates to the great cotton
conference 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.
»A‘mong the two hundred European
visitors who have been seeing cot
ton fields for the first time are such
| personages as Sir A. Herbert Dixon
of St. James Square, Manchester,
England, and Sir James H. Simpson
of the Bank of Liverpool, and Sir
Jgseph 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 visitors by pro
viding automobiles and information
and conversation naturally- wanted
to, do the right thing. They knew
)Fuller 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
out to do thing# up trown.
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
there!s 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
doline,” or anything like that. |
But Fuller Callaway solved the
problem, 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 on the back
as a doffer 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 being a king in his home
town is better.
He got around the social vexation
by calling everybody “Bill” or “Jim"
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 Herb. and Sir Joe ran
a bite-to-bite finish with the cham
'yion barbecue consumer of Troup
County.
There are deiegates from Ttaly -and
Sweden, and Norway and France.
There are delegates from Brazil and
(‘zecho-Slovakia and Switzerdand
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
in Troup County, which is rich in
every brand from the $4,000 speed
sters to the poor but proud Henry F.,
nas waitirg at the special trains for
the visitors to wake up and shave
and ba 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
pven show up the McGregor of Clan
MecGregor, whose thousands of clans
men were at his call, when it' comes
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 wf the mills and
the model mill villages, a look into
the schoms 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 wound up at the
gplendid home of Mr. Callaway, a
n.ile out of the town, and one of the
show 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 Farrells lovnd’
their formal garden, lined by trim
cut box hedges and containipg trees'
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
house, but he did not alter the lovely
Tinglish garden, except to restore
some of the time-worn walls and
clear the undergrowtn 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
publie, and the home of a score of
mocking birds which Fuller Callaway
calls by name.
Besides the European vigitors there
were many New England delegates to
the New Orleans convention, many
of whom had never gseen a coiton
tield until this tiy to the Sognh..'\"hn
party on the two spoeial trains spent

80-Year-old Vet, Hit
By Motorcycle, Is
R 0 Y "to Di
00 Young' to Die
Claiming that 80 years old was
entirely “too young” for any one to
think of giving up a grip on life,
J. F. Pouncey, the Confederate vet
eran who was struck by a motor
cycle in front of the Kimball House
Fr.day was recovering slowly Sat
urday in Grady Hospital
“l went all the way through the
war and didn't get Kkilled, and I
ain't going to let a motorcycle do
what the Yanks ‘couldn’t,” smiled
Pouncey fromy his cot in the hos
pital. The veteran appeared to be
enjoying his enforced rest and was
proclaimed the life of the ward.
Pouncey, who is a member of
the Stonewall Jackson Post of
Ozark, Ala., was watching the pa
rade when a motorcycie, ridden by
Motorcycle Officer L. E. Shumate,
collided with him. The veteran
was hnocked to the pavement and
narrowly escaped injuries that
would have caused his death.
He was taken to the hospital,
where the officer assisted in dress
ing his wounds before he would
allow the surgeons to care for his
own injuries.
Happy Veterans

Bid Farewell to
.
Atlanta Friends
Tired from the long walk which
many of them made during the big
parade, but still happy and cheer
ful, hundreds of Confederate vet
erans came to the doors, of their
tents at Camp Joseph E. Johnston
late Friday afternoon to bid good
by to their friends.
Thousands of visitors flocked to
the camp shortly after the parade
was /over to spend a few more
hours with the old wvisitors. The
streets of the camp presented the
appearance of a great city. The
street cars going to the camp were
packed to capacity all through the
afternoon.
By THE REV. E. CLOWES CHOR-l
LEY, |
Historiographer of the Episcopal Dio-l
cese of New York. : ‘
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 11.—“ Maybe
there are politicians who have made
the League 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.”
8o 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 Lecague 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 States 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
aualified support.
The resolution led to a full dress de
bate, the spe:;fes on both sides being
punctuated 'h loud applause, both
from the floor and the spectators who
crowded the galleries. A strong
speech in opposition was made by
Rishop William Lawrence of Massa
chusetts, who expressed his regret
that the resolution had been intré
duced. |
“l am not ready,” he said, “to un
dertake moral leadership by support
of an immoral act.”'
He expressed his readiness to sup
port a league »f nations, but 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. l
“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 resolution
had been moved by Bishop C. B.s
Brewster of Connecticut, in the fol
lowing: l
“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 up
qualifiedly endorsing the present plan
!for a league of nations was defeated
by a vote of 58 to 44,
Bishop Anderson then#moved 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 action of the bishops will have|
considerable weight with the House|
of Cleridal Lay Deputies, which now
has awaiting consideration a resolu
tion pggsented by the Rev. Dr. G. G.
Meade of Mississippi, giving unqual-i
fied endorsement to the league. !
~ Dr. Meade has announced his inten
‘tion of pressing his resolution, which,
if nassed, will run counter to the ac
tion of the bishops. .

WASHINGTON, Oect. 11.—Spnator
Norris, Republican, of Nebraska is
to 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 the
Republican and Democratic leaders
that speechmaking and the reading
of the treaty should continue pntil
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 Massachusetis
planned to deliver today his carefully
prepared address in which he prom
ised to reveal the real inside story of
Japanese encroachment upon (Cthina
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 énough
votes to bring ahout the adoption of
| a compromise amendment to equalize
the six votes the 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 Wisconsin, one
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 the
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 League settlement in
which she was out-voted by any other
nation and the latter’'s possessions,
dominions or ocolonies.
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 tuae
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 known,
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 ae
corded the Fall amendments recently,
Johnson's friends predicted that wlt‘
the aid of foum or five, if not more,
Democratic votes, the six to one
amendment would be adopted by a
majority vote.
