Both President Aycock and Secretary
Benton made responses.
Ths first address of yestsrday's ses
slon was that of Pr. Zotpffel-Cjuellen-
stein. German consul at Atlanta, and
his address proved to.be a finished pro
duction on the -tremendous prosperity
of the South at this present time, which
Is attracting the attention of the entire
world. L’rvin concluding his address
Dr. Zoepffel-Quellensteln was given
one of the moat enthusiastic ovations
hf ths convention, many ladles who are
now guests of Sweetwater Park hotel
adding their approval to this disser
tation on ths prosperity of this sec
tion.
J. A. Aycock, of Carrolltoh, talked
Informally on "What n Publicity Bu
reau Can Do for the Industry," and fa
vored auch an Institution, although It
necessitated considerable expense. If*
also urged general and diversified ad
vertising by the mills and Individuals,
as wall as by thp association, to con
tend against certain prejudices against
the cotton seed products, due In purt to
the novelty of this Industry.
A. Ransom, of Atlnntn, one of
the organizers of the association, fol
lowed along the same line. Mr. Raa-
som referred particularly to the work
accomplished Individually by W. M.
Towers, of Rome, whose address on tho
opening dny. reviewing some of the ex
periments which he made when the
Industry was Just developing, was rec-
ognlsed on nil still... as .m.' tin- tied

A letter read from Secretary Frank
Wfcldon, of the Georgia state fair, ask-
11 IK i !,.• ns.oi'hit Inn ii n.l in. ml.. I - n ml
mills to.make exhibits, turned the trend
of discussion In this direction. Secre
tary Weldon was present and explained
the opportunities offered for such a dis
play. A number of the members advo
cated such an exhibit as the moat prac
tical and popular way of educating tho
people by displaying the finished prod
uct* and by having a demonstrator
present to explain the many uies of the
variety of article,. •
A motion, placing the plans and ar
rangements for such an exhibit In the
hands of the executive committee, was
passed unanimously, and It Is expected
that the cotton seed products will be
one of the features of the great fair
next October.
Fielding Wallace, of Augusta, read a
paper on "TarifT on Prese Cloth," and
W. E. McCan, of Macon, made an ad
dress on “How to Avoid Reclamations."
Both of these addreaaes, while technical
In nature, were replete with valuable
facts snd practical suggestions sad
were enthusiastically Commtnded by
all of the delegates present.
J. A. Hpurlln, of Little Rock, formerly
of Atlanta, spoke Interestingly on the
manufacture of denatured alcohol In
the Couth and the tremendous future
which It made possible to Southern
Industries.
One of the most interesting papers
of the session was that of C. M. King,
of Atlanta, on "Cotton Seed Meal as a
Human Food." Mr. King told 1 of In
teresting experiments which he had
made and of the delicious and nutri
tious Ingredients of these products.
The afternoon nnd closing session
proved to be entirely nn experience
meeting, excepting the election of of-
flers. The beat methods for getting
the public to accept, understand and
appreciate the cotton seed products,
and especially to substitute refined and
hygienic cotton seed cooking oils In
place of lard, were especially dwelt
upon.

“THE JUNGLE"
UPTON SINCLAIR’S NOVEL OF PACKINGTOWN--THE
STORY THAT LAID BARE THE PACKERS’ CRIME
CHAPTER II.
.Jurgis talked lightly about work, be
came he waa young. They told him
•lories about the breaking down of
mm, there In the atock yards of Chi
os", and of what had happened to
them afterwards—stories to make
your flesh creep, but Jurgla would only
laugh. He had only been there four
months, and he was young, and a giant
besides. There waa too much health
In him.. He could not even Imagine
how It would feel to b* beaten. "That
l« well enough for men like you," ha
would say, "allpnas, puny fellow*—but
my back Is broad," *
Jurgla waa like a boy, a boy from
the country Ha waa the aort of man
the boasea Ilka to get bold of, the sort
they make It a grievance they cannot
set hold of. Wben he waa told to go
to a certain place, he would go there
on the run. When he had nothing to
no for the moment, he would stand
tound fidgeting, dancing, with tha over
flow of energy that was In him. If
he were working In a line of men, the
hne always moved too slowly for him,
and you could pick him out by hla Im
patience and rasttesaness. That was
Why he had been picked out on on#
important occasion: for Jurgts had
Mood outside of Brown & Company's
J'entral Time Station" not more than
half an hour, the second day of hla
arrival In Chicago, before he had been
•*e<k"ned by one of the bosses. Of
‘h‘* He was very proud, and It made
fl™ more disposed than ever to laugh
** : he pessimist*. In vain would they
al1 t»ll him that there were men In that
crowd from which he had been cboaeif
who had stood there o month—yes.

many month*—nnd not been chosen
yet. "Yes," he would say, "but what
sort of men? Broken-down tramp*
and good-for-nothings, fellows who
have spent all their money drinking,
and want to get more for tt. Do you
want ;ne to balleve that with these
arms"—and he would clench his fists
and hold them up In the air, so that
you might see the rolling muscles—
"that with these arms people will ever
let me starve?"
"It Is plain," thsy would answer to
this, "that you bav* come from the
country, and from very far In the
country." And tbla waa the fact, for
Jurats bad never seen a city, and
acarcaly even a fair-sited town, until
he had set out to make his fortune In
the world and earn his right to Ona.
Hla father. aniT his father's father be
fore him, and as many ancestors back
aa legend could go, had lived In that
part of Lithuania known as Brelovlcs,
the Imperial Forest. This Is a great
tract of a hundred thousand acres,
which from time Immemorial has been
a hunting preserve of the nobility.
There are a very few peasants settled
In tt, holding title from ancient times;
and one of these was Antanas Rudkus,
who had been retired himself, and had
reared hla children In turn, upon half
dosan acres of cleared land In the
midst of a wilderness. Thar* had been
one son besides Jurats, and one sister.
The former had been drafted Into the
army; that had been over ten years
ag<h but sines that day nothing had
ever been heard of him. The stater
was married, and her husband had
bought tha place when old Antapas
had decided to go with his son.
It was nearly a year and a half ago
that Jurgla had mat Ona, at a horse
fair a hundred miles from home. Jur
gis had never expected to get married
—he had laughed at U aa a foolish
trap for a man to walk Into; but bm.
without aver having spoken a word to
bar. with no more than the exchange
of half a dozen smiles, be found him
self, purple In the face with embar
rassment and terror, asking her par
ents to sail bar to him for hla wlfa—
and offering his father’s two horses
he had been sent to tbe fair to sell. But
Ona’a father proved as a rock—tha
girl was yat a child, and ha was a rich
man. and hla daughter waa not to be
had In that way. Bo Jurgis went
home with a heavy heart, ami that
spring and summer tolled and tried
Krt to forget, in tbo toM. alMr tb.
harvest was over, be eaw that It would
not do, and tramped the full fort-
nlght’e Journey that lay between him
and Ona.
He found an unexpected atata of af
fairs—for the glrl'e father had died,
nnd his estate was tied up with cred
itors; Jurats* heart leaped *aa he real- 1
I zed that now the prise waa within
his reach. Thera waa Elsblsta Luko-
asalte, Teta or Aunt, as they called
her, One's stepmother, and there were
her six children, of all ages. Thera
was also her brother, Jonas, a dried-
up little man, who had worked upon
the farm. Thsy were people of great
consequence, as It seemed to Jurats,
fresh out of the woods; Ona knew how
to read, and knew many other thing*,
that ha did not know; and now tn*
farm had been sold, and tha wltple
family waa adrift—all they owned In
tbe world being about seven hundred
roubles, which Is half as many dollars.
They would have had three times that,
but It bad gone to court, and the Judgo
had decided against them, and It had
cost the balance to get him to change
hie decision.
Ona. might have married and left
them, but ahe would not, for she loved
Teta Etsbteta. It waa Jonas who sug
gested that tbay all go to America,
where a friend of hie had gotten rich.
He would work, for his part, and the
women would work, and some of the
children, doubtleaa—they would llv#
a eon bow. Jurgis, too, had heard of
America. That waa a country where,
they said, a man might earn three
roubles a day; and Jural* figured what
three roubles a day would mean, with
prices as they were where he lived,
and decided forthwith that he would
go to America and marry, and be a rich
man In the bargain. In that country,
rich or poor, a man was free. It was
said; he did not hart to go Into the
army, he did not have to pay out his
money to rascally official*—ha might
do as he pleased, and count himself
as good as any other man. Ho Amer
ica was a place of which lovers snd
young people dreamed. If one could
only manage to get the price of a
passage, he could count hla troubles
at an end.
• U was arranged that, they should
leave the following spring, and mean
time Jurat* sold hunertt to a con
tractor for a certain time, and tramped
nearly four hundred miles from home
with a gang of men to work upon a
railroad In Smolensk. This was a
fearful experience, with filth and bad
food and cruelty and overwork; but
Jurgis stood ft and cam* out In fine

SYNOP8I3.
The story of 'The Jungle,”
Upton Sinclair's novel which
has 'caused the government In-
Investigation Into the method*
employed by the beef trust, had
ft* origin In an actual Packing-
town romance.
In Ashland avenue—"back of
the stock yards"—tha wadding
took place.
The first chapter merely
shows a broad-shouldered
butcher being wadded to a
young girl who sees In him a
hero. The wedding In all Its
grotesqueneaa Is described In
this chapter. The wadding cer
emony Is typical of Packing-
town. At midnight tha formal-
lllaa ended.
The chapter closes with a de
scription of Packlngtown fes
tivities and tells how beer It
promiscuously passed around.
Sinclair portrays In well-se
lected word* the dress of tb*
denizens of that section.
Nearly all of the character*
Introduced In the etory are em
ployed In the stock yards, and

social life, I* td be followed by

trim, and with eighty rouble* sewed
up In Ms coat. He did not drink or
fight, because he was thinking all tb*
time of Onaf and for the rest, ba was
a quiet, steady, man, who did what
he wa* told to, did not loo* hla temper
often, anti when he did lose It made
tbe offender anxious that he should
not lose It again. When they paid him
off he dodged the company gambler*
Xnd dramshop*, and so thsy tried to
kill him; but he escaped, and (ramped
It home, working at odd Job*, and
sleeping always with on* eye open.
Be In iho summer lime they bad all
set oilt for America. At the last mo
ment there Joined them Marlja Bare-
synskas, who waa a cousin of One's.
Marlja waa an orphan, and had worked
since childhood for a rich farmer of
Vllna, who beat her regularly. It was
only at tha age of twenty that It had
occurred to Marlja to try her strength,
when she had risen up and nearly
murdered the man, and then come
away.
There a-ere twelve In all In the party,
five adults and six children—and Ona,
who was a little of both. They had a
hard time on the passage; there was
an agent who helped them, but he
proved a scoundrel, snd got them Into
a trap with some officials, and cost
them a good daal of their preclou*
money, which they clung to With auch
horrible fear. Thla happened to them
again In Naw York—for, of • course,
*■“ iw nothing about the country,
no one to tell them, and It waa
easy for a man In a blue uniform to
lead them away, and to taka them to a
hotel and keep them there, and make
them pay enormous charge* to get
away. Tha law say* that the rate-
card shall be on the door of a hotel,
but It does not say that It shall be In
Lithuanian.
It was In tha atock yards that Jonas'
friend had gotten rich, and so to Chi
cago ths party waa bound. Thsy knew
that on* word, Chicago—and that waa
all tbsy needed to know, at least, until
they reached the city. Then, tumbled
out of the cars without ceremony, they
were no better off than before; they
stood staring down tbe vista of Dear
born street, with Its big black build
ings towering In ths distance, unable
to realise that thsy had arrived, and
wby, wben they said "Chicago," people
no longer pointed In some direction,
_ but Instead looked perplexed, qr laugh-
° . *d, or went on without paying any at-
O , tentlon. They were pitiable in (heir
helplessness; above all things thsy
stood In deadly terror of any sort of
parson In official uniform, and so
whenever they saw a. policeman they
would cross the street and hurry by.
For the whole of Ih* first day they
wandered about In the midst of deaf
ening confusion, utterly lost; and It
waa only at night that, cowering In Ih*
doorway of a hoof, they wan finally
discovered and takan by a policeman
to the station. In Ih# nv.rning an In
terpreter was found, anil they were
taken and put upon a car. and taught
a new word—“etockyards." Their de
light at discovering that they were to
get out of this adventure without las
ing another share of thslr posseaalott*,
It would not be possible to describe.
They sat and stared out of ths win
dow. They were on a street which

ugly and dirty lltll* wooden buildings.

It—you could take hold of It. almost,

were divided In their opinion* about It.
It was an elemental odor, raw and
crude; It waa rich, almoet rancid, sen
