sixth annutJ' meeting of the Georgia
Industrial Association, which was In
session here yesterday, was nttended
by seventy-five of the most prdmlnent
cotton mill men of th* state. The
meeting was addressed by a number
of prominent men and a feature of the
convention was the strong sentiment
which seemed to develop In favor of
Imported labor to work In th* cotton
fields.
The election of officers was held yes
terday afternoon and resulted as fol
lows; President, Jeff Davis, Toccoa,
Ga.; vice president, P. P. Melkleham,

ecutive committee, J. P. Verdery, chair

Fuller E. Callaway, LaGrange: B. S.
Walker, Monroe, and W. J. Kincaid,
Grlflln.
An executive session of the conten
tion was held last night, which con
cluded the program.
Among the speeches delivered at the
afternoon session yesterday were the
following, which were full of Interest
and mad* a good Impression:
"Immigration as the Foundation for
Securing Mill Help In the South”—Mr.
M. V. Richards, land and Industrial
agent, Southern Railway, Washington,
D. C.
"The Problems of Labor and Immi
gration In the'South and Their Solu
tion"—Hon. E. O. Watson, commission
er state of South Carolina, department
of agriculture, commerce and Immigra
tion, Columbia, S. C.
The feature of the Immigration sym
posium was the address of Hon. Frank
P Sargent, of Washington, commla-
rinner general of Immigration. He said
thnt more people was the need of Geor
gia, and that Georgia could get Immi
gration Just like other sections of the
country had gone to work and got It.

Dr. J. J. Knott, J. O. Oglesby, Govern

hour of the moat unusual dinner ever
given In Atlanta, ms those present de
clare It was, until the hour of mid
night. when they took leave of their
host, there was a running tire of Jokes,
there was fun rampant, although Sir.
Brown announced "Sly days are In the
sere and yellow leaf," and the dinner
was such as might have been held In
Dante's chamber of death, with Its
somber decorations and Its funeral at
mosphere.
Those who were Invited to celebrate
the occasion of Sir. Brown's “fifty-
eighth and last official" dinner knew
they would enjoy something unusual;
they knew they would be surprised, but
what they saw when they walked from
the brilliantly lighted library to the
dining room Immediately adjoining In
the rear of the house was more than
they were prepared for. There was
black here, black there, draped In the
windows and over the furniture; with
dull silver shining and reflecting back
the little biases from the candles
every part of the room. There was
no other light. Some of the guests,
the most Ordinary one In the com-
»ny, Mr. Brown says, thought ha was
wing made a part of an Irish wake,
while others, unable to account for
the unusual sight, seated themselves
In alienee, and looked about them
askance, with glances half frightened,
and all to the keen enjoyment of the
host, who, seated at the head of tho
table with Ills brother, Hon. Joseph SI.
Blown, tlie guest of h'.nitr, hulled tils
friends to make merry and lmvo no
thought of the ’morrow, for "twos
society dinner they wero having, some
thing unusual, In this day of the un
usual.
Coming to realising that no one had
suddenly, passed away, but that they
were ..the guests of an occasion that
must assuredly be an event In their
lives, they began to look about, these
guests of the evening, and they did
not fall to see things. To make It
clear—Sir. Brown's dining room la the
last of three large rooms of '
each other, on the south side
Idence. A huge mantelpiece on on*
aide, massive sideboards of antique de
sign and make, piled with every nature
of rare china and glass; everywhere
curloa that defy the Imitator;
walla covered with beautiful plates,
with practically every kind of an orna
ment everywhere. They were seated
In the midst ot another world, the
world of yesterday, yet no more Joyous
gathering ever celebrated than those
guests of Mr. Brown on the evening of
tie flfty-elghth birthday.
8kull Beside Each Plate.
Mr. Brown ordinarily uses a square
table, but he wanted hla guests to face
each other, so he had made especially
round table, over which was placed
_ black velvet tablecloth. At each covar
was placed one of the black dinner
cards, togtther with a figure of a Olb-
son girl on another card. A skull was
also by the side of each plate, while
suspended from the center of the chan
delier was another huge skull of ashr
white, and under which on a blacl
pedestal sat the figure of a monk
draped In black. Candles ware at
each plate, and there was a candle
for every course of the dinner. With
the end, of each course a cand

through the dinner until there were left

REPLIES TO CRITICISM*
By Private Leased Wire.
Washington, June 8.—James nron-
son Reynolds, Joint author ot -the fa
mous Neill-Reynolda report, dealing
with conditions In the Chlc.BO pack

before the house commltlee of agricul

In order to controvert s statement
made by Thomas E. Wilson, represent

based only on facta actually observed.
It Is my duty to get at tho truth. Mr.
Neill made statements yesterday which
I do not believe lie could mske ss

that fell Into the filth and which he
said went unclrnned Into the can and
