Thom- aston, and J. H. Taylor, Cordele. Both President Aycock and Secretary Benton made responses. The first address of yesterday's ses sion was that of Dr. Zoepffel-Quellen- steln, German consul at Atlanta, and hls.address proved to be a finished pro duction on the ‘tremendous prosperity of the South at this present time, which Is attracting tin* attention of the entire world. U^pn . concluding his address nr. Zo.'|,rrei-<vtieii,.|iMteln was given one of the most enthusiastic ovations of the convention, many ladies who are now guests of Sweetwater Park hotel adding their approval to this disser tation on the prosperity, of • this sec tion. • J. A. Aycock, of Carrollton, talked Informally on "What a Publicity Bu reau Can Do for the Industry," and fa vored such an Institution, nlthough It necessitated considerable expense. H« also urged general and diversified ad vertising by tin* mills ami individuals, as W’ell as by the association, to con tend against certain prejudices against the cotton seed products, due In part to the novelty of this Industry. A. Ransom, of Atlanta, one of the organizers of the association, fol lowed along the same line. Mr. Ran som referred particularly to the work accomplished Individually by W. M. Towers, bf Rome, whose address on the opening day, reviewing some of the ex periments which he made when the industry w as just developing, was i- ognlzed on all sides as one of thp best and moat practical features of the con- VettUOKL A letter read from Secretary Frank Weldon, of the Georgia state fair, ask ing tho association and members and mills to ina Lf exhibits, tuim-d : m» ; ■ of discussion In this direction. Secre tary Weldon was present and explained the opportunities offered for such a dis play. A number of tho members advo cated such an exhibit as the most prac- tb'ul and popular way of educating the l"'"I'! 11 by displaying tin* finish.■•! pod nets and by having a demonstrator present to explain the many uses of .the variety of articles. A motion, placing the plans and ar rangements for such an exhibit In Ihe 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 "Tariff on Press Cloth," and W. E. McCan, of Macon, made an ad dress on "How to Avoid Reclamations.' Both of these addresses, while technical in nature, were replete with valuable facts and practical suggestions and were enthusiastically commended by all of the delegates present. J. A. Spurlln, of Little Rock, formerly of Atlanta, spoke interestingly on the Manufacture of denatured alcohol, in the South 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 of in teresting experiments which he had made and of the delicious and nutri tious ingredients of these products. The aftemobn and closing session proved to be entirely an experience meeting, excepting tho election of of- Icrs. The best methods for getting the public to accept, understand and appreciate the cottop seed products, and especially to substitute refined and hygienic cotton seed cooking oils In place of lard, were especially dwelt upon. CITY TAX NOTICE. Books are no«? open for payment of second install ment of city tax. Will close 1st July. E. T. PAYNE, City Tax Collector. CHILDREN GIVEN PLAY TEACHERS ESCAPE SUMMER NORMAL SCHOOLS.

The resignation of Professor E. E. Dtterbach was ac cepted. Mr. Utterbach has been connected with the public echools of Atlanta for many years, and to his Individual ef fort the gMMloacy °f the manual train ing department Is due. The resigna tion came ns an unpleasant surprise. The determination to set aside two of the achool yards as play grounds was reached after a letter from the As sociated Charities was presented to the board by Secretary J. C. Logan, J. K. Orr, Rev. C. B. Wllmer ond V. H. Krelgshnber. It is the Idea of the association to have the grounds under the supervision of competent pereons, so that children may gather and play, thus keeping them oft the etreets, Tho school yards to be given for the pur- e lse mentioned will be decided upon ter.

Jurgla talked lightly about work, be cause he waa, young. They told , him stories about the breaking down of men, there In the stock yards of Chi cago, and of what had happened to them afterwards—stories to make your flesh creep, but Jurglft would only laugh. He had only been there four months, and he waa young, and a giant besides. There waa too much health in hltn. He could not even imagine how it would feel to be beaten. "That I» well enough for men like you," he would say, "silpnax, puny fellowa—but I my back Is broad." , Jurgis was like a boy, a boy from the country. He waa the sort of man the bosses like to get hold of, the sort they make It a grievance they cannot get hold of. When he was told to go to a certain place, he would go there •m the run. When he had, nothing to ^ for the moment, he would* stand round fidgeting; dancing, with the over- [low of energy that was In him. If re were working In a line of men, the iip* always moved too slowly for him, ahu you could pick him out by hla Im patience and restlessness. That waa fhy he had been picked out on one important occasion; for Jurgis had *t‘.nd outside of Brown & Company’s "Central Time Station" not more than hair an hour, the second day of his arrival in Chicago, before he had been «**.'koned by one of the bosses. Of [h‘.s he was very proud, and It made him more disposed than ever to laugh a! the pessimists. In vain would they a!l tell him that there were men In that <ro*d from which he had been chosen > had stood there a month—yea. Minton China. Lovers, of artistic China are invited to call and see our uew importations of Minton. Odd and very at- ta'-tire are tho designs. Other new China that will iur-rest you. Maier & Bertie many months—arid not been chosen yet. "Yes," he would say, "but what sort of men? Broken-down tramps nnd good-tor-nothings, fellows who have spent all their money drinking, and want to get mors for It. Do you want ms to believe that with these arms”—and he would clench Ms fists ond hold them up In the air, so that you might see the rolling muscles— "that with these arms people will ever let me etsrve?" “It Is plain,” they would answer to this, “that you have come from the country, and from very far In the country.” And this was the fact, for Jurgle had never seen a city, and scarcely even a fair-sized town, until he had set out to mike his fortune In the world and earn hie right to Ona. HI* father, and‘hla father's father be fore him, and a* many ancestors back as legend could go, had lived In that part of Lithuania known aa Brelovlcz, the Imperial Forest. This la 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 It, holding till* from ancient times; and one of these was Antanas Rmlkus. who had been reared himself, ond had reared his children In turn, upon half a dozen acres of cleared land in the midst of a wilderness. There had been one son besides Jurgis, and one sister. The former had been drafted Into the army; that had been over ten year* ago, but since that day nothing had evar been heard of him. The sister was married, and her husband had bought the place when old Antanas had decided to go with his son. It was nearly a year and a half ago that Jurgis had met Ona, ht a horse fair a hundred miles from home. Jur gis had never expected to get married —he had laughed at It as a foolish trap for a man to walk Into: but here, without ever having spoken a word to her, with no more than the ezrbann of half a doxen smiles, he found him- selt purple In the face with embar rassment and terror, asking her par ents to sell her to him for hla wife— and offering his father’s two horses he had been sent to the fair to sell. But Ona’* father proved aa a rock—the girl was yet a child, and be was a rich man. and his daughter was not to be had In that wayT Bo Jurgis went home with a heavy heart, and that spring and summer tolled and tried hard to forget. In the fall, after the harvest waa over, b* saw that It would not do, and trqmped tho full fort night's Journey that lay between him nnd Ops. Ho found on unexpected state of af fairs—for the girl's father had died, nnd hla estate was tied up with cred itors; Jurgis* heart leaped as ho real ized that now the prize was within his reach. Thera waa Elzbleta I.uko- azaite, Teta or Aunt, az they called her, Ons'e stepmother, and there were her six children, of all ages. There waa also her brother, Jonas, a dried- up little man, Aho had worked upon the farm. They were people of great consequence, as It seemed to Jurgle, fresh out of th* woods; Ona knew how to retd, and knew many other things, that he did not know; and now the farm had been sold, and the triple family was ndrlft—all they owned In the world being about sevon hundred roubles, which Is half a* many dollars. They would have had thru, time* that, but It had gone to court, and the Judge hnd decided against them, and It had cost the balance to get him to change his decision. Ona might have married nnd left them, but she would not, for she loved Teta Elzbtfita. It was Jonas who sug gested that they all go to America, where a friend of Ms hod gotten rich. He would work, for his pan, and the women would work, and some of the children, doubtless—they would live somehow. Jurgis. too. had heard of America. That was a country where, they said, a man might earn three roubles a day; and Jurgis figured what three roubles a day would mean, with prices as they were where he lived, and decided forthwith that he would 0 <tO 0000006000000000 set out for America. At the last mo ment there Joined them Marlja Here- zynskas, who was a cousin of Ona'M. Marlja was an orphan, and had worked since childhood for a rich farmer of Vllna, who beat her regularly. It was only at the age of twenty that It had occurred to Marlja to try her strength, when ehe had rleen up and nearly murdered the man, and then come away. Thera were twelve In all In the party, five adults jtnd six children—and Ona, who waa a little of both. They had a hard time on the passage; there was an agent who helped them,' but he proved a scoundrel, and got them Into a trap with some officials, and cost them a good deal of their precious money, which they clung to with such horribl* fear. This happened to them ngaln In New York—for, of course, they knew nothing about th» country, nnd had no one to tell them, and It was easy for a man In a blue uniform to emony la typical of Packing- O i lead thsm away, and to take them to a town. At midnight the formal 8YN0PSIS. The story of "Tho Jungle, 1 Upton Sinclair’s novel which has caused the government In Investigation Into ths methods employed by the beef trust, had Its origin In an actual Packing- town romance. In Ashland avenue—"back of the stork yards"—tha wedding took place. The first chapter merely shows a broad-shouldered butcher being wedded to a young girl who sees In him a hero. The wedding In all Its grotesqueness Is described In this chapter. The wedding cer- lttes ended.

If one could only manage to get the price of a passage, be could count his troubles at an end. It was arranged that they should leave the following eptlng, and mean time Jargi. *"10 himself to a run- tractor tor a certain time, and tramped nearly four hundred mile, from home with a gang of men to work upon a railroad In Bmolensk. This was a fearful experience, with filth and bad food nnd cruelty end overwork: but Jurgfs stood It and came out In fine trim, nnd with eighty roubles sewed up In his coat. He did not drink or fight, because he was thinking all tha time of Ona; and for the rest, he was n quiet, steady man, who did what he was told to, did not lose his temper often, and when be did lose It made the offender anxious that he should not lose It again. When they paid him Off he dodged the company gamblers nnd dramshops, and So they tried to kill him: but he escaped, and tramped It borne, working at odd Jobs, and sleeping always with one eye open. Bo in ihe dimmer time they had all hotel and keep them there, and make them pay enormous chargee to get away. The 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 waa In the stock yards that Jonas' friend had gotten rich, and so to Chi cago tha party waa bound. They knew that one word, Chicago—and that was all they needed to know, at least, until they reached 'the city. Then, tumbled out of the cars without ceremony, they were no better off thkn before; they stood staring down tha vista nf Dear born street, with It* big black build ings towering In the distance, unable so realise that they had arrived, and why, when they aald "Chicago," people no longer pointed In some direction, but Instead looked perplexed, or laugh ed, or went on without paying any at tention. They were pitiable In their helplessness; above all things they stood In deadly terror of any sort of person In official uniform, and so whenever they saw a policeman they would cross the street and hurry by. For the whole of the first day they wandered about M the midst of deaf ening confusion, utterly lost; and It were dlvld waa only at night that, cowering In the It was an doorway of a house, th^y were finally I crude; It was rh b, discovered and taken by a pollit-mnn sual nnd ntrnng to the station. In the morning nn In- who drank It In terpreter was found, and they were toxicant; there \ taken and put upon a car. and taught their hnndkeiehle a new word—"stockyardTheir de- nev emigrants w< light at discovering that they were to In wooder, when i get out of this adventure without los- Mo a hull, am 1 th ing another share of their possessions, It would not bn possible to describe. They sat and stared out of the win dow. They were on n street which usem< 1 to run on forever, mile after mile—thirty-four of them. If they had known It—and each side of It one un interrupted roWof wretched little two- story frame buildings. Down every side street they could see, It ws* the same-^never a hill and never a hollow, but always the same endless vista of ugly and dirty llttl* wooden buildings, litre and. there would be a bridge crossing a filthy creek, with hard- baked mud shores and dingy sheds and docks along U; here and there would be a railroad crossing, with a tangle of switches, tnd locomotives pulling, and rattling freight rar* filing by; here and there would be n great fac tory, a dingy building with Innumer able windows In It, and Immense wot- umes of smoke pouring from the chim neys, darkening th* air above and making filthy tne earth beneath. Rut nftcr eaqh of these Interruptions tho desolate procession would begin again —th* procession of dreary little build-1 Ings. A full hour before the party reached I th* city they had begun to note Dm perplexing changes In the atmosphere. It grew darker all the time, nnd upon the earth th* graze seemed to grow green. Every minute, as-the train sped on, th« colora of things became dingier; the fields were grown parched and yellow, the landscape hideous and bare. And along with the thickening smoke they began to notice anoth circumstance, a mrange, pungent odor. They were not sure that It was un pleasant, thla odor; some might have called It sickening, but their taste in odore waa not developed, and they were only eure that It was curious. Now, sitting In the trolley car, they realized that they were on thgir way to tho home of It—that they had traveled the way from Lithuania to It. It was now no longer nomethlng far-off and faint, that you caught In whiffe; you could literally taste It, aii well bh smell it—you could take hold of It, almost, and examtno It at your leisure. They their opinions about It. ntnl odor, raw and almost rnncld, sen- There were some is If It were an In- ere others who put » to their faces.

It came as If self-impelled, driving all h€ It xhnn stared, waiting to but still the great streams rolled out. They spread In vost clouds overhead, writhing, curling; then, uniting In one giant river, they streamed away down the sky, stretching a black pall n» fur ns the eye could reach. * Then the party became nwqre of an other strange thing. This, too, like the odor, was a thing elemental; It was a sound, a sound made up of ten thous and llttl- .-"iiml- Y<in senrt i*ly noticed It nt first—It sunk Into your con*< loud ness, a vague disturbance, a trouble.

Scarcely had they gone a block, however, before Jonas was heard to give a cry, and began pointing ex citedly acrosn the street.
