At the afternoon session a long telegram was sent to former For ester Gifford Pinchot at St. Paul, Minn., endorsing his work for the conservation of national forests and rendering him the thanks of two million farmers for his efforts. The telegram was signed by the secretary of Ibo convention. At noon the delegates were enter tained at a big barbecue at the Sel wyn farm, the only social feature of the day for which they had time.

(Atlanta Journal, 10th.) Rev. A. Mcivor, pastor of the Shi loh Baptist church, colored, has sued his Hock In the justice court and lev ied on the church organ in a strenu ous effort to collect $97.50 salary which he alleges is duo him. Ho got judgment before Justice Jackson, and tho congrgntlon has now appealed the case to tho Superior Court. The preacher alloges that ho has "preached wholesome doctrine and rightly divided the Word of Truth, that he has performed such services to tho congregation as he ls directed to perform by Holy Writ, and that despite his fulfilment of the Scrip ture and the law, his church has failed and refused to pay him tho salary agreed upon. He sued the congregation as a corporation In tho Justice's court and got a judgment under which the church pews and organ wero levied on and hauled to tho justice court to be sold at public outcry. It is staled that some of the lumbers of thc congregation admit ted the debt. ? Since that time, however, other members ot-the congregation have .appealed the case on the ground that the church was not a corporation, but a partnership of private Individuals who owend the church furniture. They want that organ back. Stage Names. "Kid" Bustum, the lightweight, I used to admire; His punch was exceedingly hard. But I found to my grief, when 1 chanced to inquire, Childe Weeks was the name on his card.

As Diz/.o, Ibo diver, comes down with a turn, My bosom with wonderment t M ills ; But, somehow, it shortens my pleas ure to learn That his true name is Thomas P. Mills.

In tho olden times every planta tion was supplied with Its own gin house. These gin bouses were all alike, built af tor tho same general plan. Tlie gin house Itself was built on high posts, and under it was the motive power, a pair of mules hitched to ii long lover, winch revolved tho central post to which lt was al tacked, and which by means of a cog gear drove the big pnlly over which a belt supplied power to tho gin above. The press stood near tho gin bouse, and consisted of an Immense wooden screw, which press ed the cotton down Into the baling box. These wooden screws were 20 foot or more In length, and they were turned by mules who wore hitched to long lovers which reach ed from tho ground lo a point above the screw, across t'ne top of which a cross-bar passed into the lovers, pre senting the form of the letter A. A pyramidal roof was built upon these levers to protect the screw from (he weather, which of course revolved as the screw was turned. These unique cotton screws form ed a distinctive feature of Southern landscapes, as the old windmills aro landscape features In Holland. Ev ery plantation had a gin and screw, and almost from any point in tho country one or more of these queer structures wore visible. They have all disappeared. Cot ! ton is no longer ginned and packed on tho farm In the primitive old way. In every neighborhood there aro now public ginneries, where cotton is un loaded from tho wagons by pneu matic machinery, ginned on great power gins, which gin the cotton more perfectly than the smaller old time gins could do it, and lt is pack ed direct from the lint room into the baling box and pressed by steam machinery. Tho now way ls much cheaper and bettor than tho old, for it saves a large percentage of the lint that for merly was lost by imperfect ginning, and is enough cheaper to cover tho cost of hauling the cotton lo the gin. The old plantation gin would gin from two lo four bales a day, while those modern ginneries will gin from forty to a hundred or more bales per day. Uko the old plantation gins these big ginneries stand idle during the summer. Woods grow up around them. Spiders spin their webs from Its beams, and the dust of disuse settles heavily upon the whole plant. But during the ginning season they are the sceno of life and bustle. Wagons come and go In endless pro cession, bringing their loads of snowy cotton and carrying away loads of gray seed. Pressed cotton bales are rolled out In quick succession, and lint-covered and happy men give strenuous life whore during the sum mer tho air of desertion bad pre vailed. j The ginning season begins with the ginning of the first bale and con tinues with a rush until after Christ mas, and thereafter moro leisurely until the last cotton Is ginned. So the ginning of tho first halo is an oven! of importance to tho neighbor hood. The season was late this year, but tho first balOg have been ginned at nearly all the gins in tho lower part of tho State. Around all of them now it Is lifo and push, and light heartedness greater than usual, for every bale now ginned represents a value In lint and seed of $100, a prosperity bringing condition entire ly now since tho old screw press packed cotton in 18(10.
