J. A. Aycock. of Carrollton, talked
Informally on "What a Publicity Bu

vored such an Institution, although it
necessitated considerable expense. He
also urged general and diversified ad-
veitlstng by tho mills mid individuals,
as well as by the association, to con

the cotton seed products, due In port to
the novelty of this Industry.

Fielding Wallace, of Augusta, read a
paper on "Tariff on Press Cloth," and

SYNOPSIS.
The story of "The Jungle,"
Upton Sinclair's novel which
has caused the government In-
Investigation Into tha methods
employed Iff tha beef trust, had
Its origin In an actual Packing-
town romance.
In Ashland avenue—"back of
ths stock yards"—the wadding
took place.
The first chapter merely
shows a broad-shouldered
butcher being wedded to a
young girl who aces In him a
hero. Tha wadding In all Its
grotssqueness Is described In
this chapter. The wedding cer
emony Is typical of Packing-
town. At midnight the formal
ities ended.
The chapter closes with a de
scription of Pscklngtown fes
tivities and tails bow beer Is
promiscuously passed around.
Sinclair portrays In wsll-ss-
lectsd words the dress of ths
denizens of that section.
Nearly all of the character*
Introduced In the story are em
ployed In ths stock yards, and
set out. for America. At the last mo
ment there Joined them MarIJa Berc-
xynskas, who was a cousin of Ona’a.
MarIJa was an orphan, and had worked
tlnre childhood for a rich farmer of
Vllna, who beat her regularly. It woe
only at the age of twenty that It had
occurred to Marija to try her strength,
when aha had risen up and nearly
murdered the man, and then come
away.
There wera twelve In alt In the party,
five adult* and alx 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 ha
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
horrible fear. Thla happened to them
again In New York—for, of esuras,
they knew nothing about the country,
and had 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 charges to get
away. The law asya that the rate-
card shall bs on the door of a hotel,
but It does not say that It shall be In
ZsUhOiflltii.
It war In tha stock yarda that Jonas'
friend had rotten rich, and so to Chi-
cago tha party waa bound. They knew
that one word, Chicago—and that waa
all they needed to know, at leaat, until
they reached the city. Then, tumbled
out of the cars without ceremony, they
were no better off than before; they
stood staring down the rleta of Dear

the city they had begun to note tho
perplexing changes In the atmosphere.
It grew darker all the time, and upon
the earth the grass seemed to grow
less green. Kvery minute, as the train

dingier; the fields were grown parched
and yellow, the landscape hideous and
bare. And along with the thickening
smoke they begsn to notice another
circumstance, n strange, pungent odor.
