WRI7E OF PAST AND FUTURE
OF' 1 HEIR ASSOC I AIIONS
What Organizations
Have Done and
Hope to Da
In response to request* from The
Georgian for brief sketches about the
Carriage Builders' National Association
from the men who have helped to build
up the organization, several of the of
ficers have responded. One of the most
interesting of these Is written by Dan
iel T. Wilson, chairman of the executive
committee. Mr. Wilson wrote:
New York, Oct. *1, 1306.
The Atlanta Georgian:
The Carriage Builders' National As
sociation was founded In 18<S and this
convention Is, She 34th annual one. It
was founded for the purpose of doing
away with small Jealousies pervading
the trade at that time. Its motto has
always been “that we may become bet
ter acquainted with onu another." I
believe there are no other associations
which have lasted as long as this.
We deal with all national questions
which directly affect the trade, hut,
whenever a specific complaint Is made
bv one and npt general In Its'charac-
ter. wo endeavor to bring together
those at variance and adjust the dif
ferences.
The trade has been very greatly
helped by the C. B. N. A. It caused to
be adopted the "warranty" which Is
given with all vehicles. The once oner-
ous freight rates have been adjusted
with all the railroad companies. Clas
sification of freight,, which was partic
ularly burdensome, has been changed.
The tariff on carriages (new) Import
ed. has been made more equitable, and
the tarlfT on second-hand vehicles has
been adjustel so .that the Importation
of vehicles used a r fetv times, as second
hand, has been entirely stopped.
It has founded a technical school
carried on In the Bowery, here In New
York, which Is of great benefit to the
members of the association and the en ■
tire trade, not only In this country but
In Europe, Africa and Australia as
well. We have corresponding students
In various parts of the world. We have
a dny class and a night class, the lat
ter attendod by people employed dur-
Inc the day.
This school has been very successful;
ninety per cent of the graduates being
heads or superintendents of factories.
These are some of the reasons for the*
ex's -nee ol the association.
My work as chairman simply consist*
in presiding over the deliberations of
the executive committee, of which 1
have been chairman five years. Youts
trU ' 5, DANIEL, T. WILSON,
, Chairman.
From President Brunsman.
A. G. Brunsman, of Cincinnati, presi
dent of the national association, has
written a modest sketch of his own
connection with the organisation. His
letter follows:
"Cincinnati, O., Oct. 21. 1906.
"To the Editor of The Georgian:
"My biography Is quite simple—was
horn and reared In the city of Cincin
nati. educated In'Its public and night
school*,, started In the vehicle buelness
at an early. ago, filled about every posi
tion under the head of this Industry,
from trimmer apprentice to general
manager, and finally proprietor In con
nection with a partner, of the Anchor
Buggy Company, and president of»the
Lion Buggy Company, both factories
nt this olty. My connection with the
vehicle trade date* back to a time
‘when thing* were different.’ Myself
and partner are the originals of the
Anchor and Dion Buggy Companies.
The former company started twenty
t ears ago and has grown from n small
Institution to one .of some magnitude.

ally—a member of the Carriage Ma
kers’ Club for nearly twenty • years,
twice Its president and chairman of Its
freight and classification committee for
so long that I hardly remember the
time of my appointment. I have been
on the executive committee of the Car
riage Builders’ National Association for
some years; have been chairman of Its
freight and classification committee un
til my advancement to the presidency,

from the ranks and back to the plain
title of carriage manufacturer. ,
"Yours very truly,

From President Gregory.
Lucius Gregory, of Chase City. Va.,'
is president of the Southern Vehicle
Association. He has prepared for Tho
Georgian a brief article concerning his
organization, which follows:
“Chase City, Va., Oct. 12.
"The Southern Vehicle Association Is
composed of nearly all the carriage
builders In Southern territory and the
membership Is largely Increased by
members from the accessory trade. The
meetings consist of an annual meet
ing, to which nil the members of every'
class are Invited, and the object of
this meeting Is te get better acquaint
ed with each other and with those from
whom we buy material for carriages. A
review of the year’s work Is given
and new members are sought: officers
are elected and an outline for the com
Ing year Is prepared.
"A Jolly good time for all has been
the verdict of all former annual meet
Ings, But this Is not nil. Once a quar
ter the builders meet In business sea
slons. which usually last till day and
sometimes longer, and the real benefit
comes from these quarterly sessions,
Then all phases of the carriage bust
ness come .up for discussion and a gen
eral exchange of Ideas alotig the Va
rlous lines are made. Insurance,
freights, shipping, office and shop man
agement and that all-important Item,
credits, all come In for their part In
the discussions. The result of this
haa been thorough harmony nniong the
builders, a better acquaintance with
each other, until a friendliness which
Is beautiful to see and better to ex
perience, exists among these Southern
builders.
’The Southern Vehicle Association
desiring to hold Its annual, meeting In
Atlanta at the same time of the meet
ing of the C. B. N. A., Its usual sprint
meeting was cut out and the president,
by vlrtud of this, has held the position
for more than ■ a year, which Is the
usual term.”
AGAINST U. S.
Attitude of This Coun
try Toward Race Is
Condemned.
Toklo, Oct. 22.—It would be difficult
to overestimate the gravity of the sit
uation caused by the anti-Japanese
feeling that has been given voice In the
United States.
-At a dinner last night, attended by
loO prominent bankers and. business
men at the Imperial hotel, deep feel
ing was expressed that America should
regard with Indifference acts that are
tantamount to a declaration of racial
war. Little was said regarding the
American protests against the Japa
nese program In Manchuria.
The attacks by John D. Rockefeller
on Japanese commercial treachery, the
Hawaiian exclusion policy, the public
Insults to Professor Omorl, and Con
gressman Kahn's wai threats, all of
which Incidents have occurred within
three months, were discussed: also the
suggestion to exclude Japanese chil
dren from public schools attended by
whites In San Francisco.
There Is evidence that the govern
ment regards the situation as extremely
delicate and serious.
The JIJI Shlmpou prints a long anon
ymous article, which, however, I
known to emanate from a member of
the government, attempting to explain
away the acts which have oftendi
Japanese. The Imperial government
recognizes that the opposition to the
Japanese Is now local, but opposition
politicians argue that It Is not a local
manifestation, and point out that
American authorities have taken dafl
nlte steps to define the relations be
tween the two countries.
A prompt repudiation of the anti
Japanese sentiment by the United
States at targe Is necessary to avert a
crisis here that would result in the
destruction of the historic commercial
relations between the two nations.

GadKltn. AJn., Oct. 22.—Tho murder of
Joe’ Cold* at tho Konthoru Steel rompntiy'a

coldddoodod murders In the history of this
section.
Cohh nns nt bis pest of duty, sitting In a
chair rending n newspaper, when the mur
der evidently cmne up behind him and
struck the fatal blow with the henry
sledge hummer, literally braining him with
one blow, ss n bole fxncjly the slse of the
hsmmer was knocked In his hend mid his
brains scattered orer the floor of the en
gine room.
The man was seen sllve nnd rending his
paper, and In less than three minutes af
terward he wnr found dead.
The murder ims evidently premeditated.
nnd the murderer acted quickly. The
glue room wn% well lighted, ns were th*
tire groiiuds surrounding the plant, with
hundreds of electric lights nud s number
of men were working within fifty feet of
him. yet the murder Is one of the deepest
mystery.
Saturday was pay day st the plant, and
It Is sold that fobb drew his pay and that
of his brother also, nud the murderer must
have known tills fart. However, lie let nil
of the money, except 120. remain nt home,
snd this was missing from the laxly. The
object of the crime seems to have boeu
rohberr. ns t’ohb was a kind-henrted slid
peaceable man and was not known to have
an enemy.
The murdered mail was one of the most
popnlsr men of the several hundrrd In the
employ of the company. He was 24 years
old and was married eight months ago to n
yonng lady of Alabama City.

LIFE WAS CRYSTAL RIVER
OF BE A UTy AND BLESSING
—W. D. UPSHAW
At the memorial service* at the Tab
ernacle Sunday afternoon William D.
Upshaw paid a beautiful tribute to the
character of the Rev. Sam P. Jones.
Some portions of his address follow:
There are moments, 1 think, when the
spirit receives
Whole volumes of thought on Its un
written leaves.”
'And In the tense and tender heart
beat of such a moment today we begin
this sacred memorial—an hour that
shall be focal of high and holy con
templations and vocal with the love
and sorrow of thousands.
"Never since Henry Grady finished
hla marvelous work at 10 o'clock In
the morning of life's wonderful day—
never since he yielded to what men
call death, have I been ao anxious to
attend the funeral of a great and good
man as I waa to be at Cartersvtlle at
the funeral ceremonies of Sam P. Jones.
But I, wa* on bed over In Cobb county
and could not be at Grady's funeral,
and the death of 4 relative would not
allow me to mingle with the weeping
thousands who thronged the Carters-
vllle Tabernacle because Its maker and
master had died.
But as I could not go there my
pierced heart feels a sort of melan
choly compensation In the privilege
of suggesting Atlanta's memorial. But
priority of suggestion did not mean pri
ority of Impulse, for, before they had
seen the suggestion In the dally press,
Messrs, Peacock -and Johnson, of the
Tabernacle congregation, came to my
office at different hours to suggest a
memorial service for Sam Jones. And
aa soon as Dr. Broughton heard the ead
new* on returning from England, he
ruehed to the neareet telegraph office
In New York and wired, not knowing
what had been done, to arrange for a
Sunday night memorial for Sam Jonee.
'ftius the feeling was In all hearts and
the suggestion struck fire everywhere.
The Vacant Chair.
"And as I look at that vacant chair
on the plattorm and the draped picture
that hangs about It, 1 am thinking of
that exquisite Waif of mental beauty
whose author L do not know—'To a
Pond Lily.’
•' 'O, star on the breast of the river—
O, marvel of gloom and grace!
Did you drop right do jrn out of heaven,
Out of the sweetest place?
You aro aa pure as the thoughts of an
angel— s
Your heart Is steeped In the sun—
Did you grow In the Golden City
* My fair and radiant one?
"'Nay, nay: I dropped not out of heav-
en—
None gave me my saintly'white;
I elowly grew In Ihe darknee*
Down In the depth* of the night;
Up, up, from the oose of the river
I won my glory and grace-
white aoul* fall not, O, sweet poet,
They rlee to tho hlgheet place!'
“And ever since Sam P. Jones fell
beneath the burden of hie conacloua aln
at the foot of the cross he arose as a
miracle of regeneration, and ever since
then he has been lifting upward with
him the clinging retinue of hie sur
roundings as fit has surely and grandly
climbed.
“Let two things be remembered In
this marvelous gathering of thousands
today—such n tribute would neter have
been paid to Sam Jones If he had not
met the Lord Jesus Christ in his way
ward life In 1372. HI* life alnce then
has been a crystal river of beauty and
blessing to the. world. And before a
fart like this Infidelity must stand for
ever dumb.
"And the other fact la this—that even
men who deny In their aln-marred
lives the truth he taught, yet acknowl
edge that truth In the hearts that be
lieve In him and In the love that crowns
him today.”
