HARDWOOD RECORD

That condition floes no lunger exist. Men co- 

 operate in their business relations. Their fellow- 

 snip is warmer than ever before. 



One tiling that pleases me and 1 am talking 

 to the younger gentlemen here— in my associa 



lions witii business i pie wherever I go is 



Hie fact that we are associating with sober men 

 [applause] : men who have an idea of the real 

 proprieties of lite; men who regard manhood n ^ 

 worth more than anything else; men who stand 

 flat-footed on their feet ready to be governed 

 by the Golden Itnle. There is less deception to- 

 daj than ever before in tile world. There is 

 more real business manhood today than ever 

 existed before. We have better business men 

 today than tile world ever knew before, and we 

 have a better class of aewspapers today than were 

 ever published before. We are living in a new 

 day. under new environments. There is no land 

 in the world, my friends, like this splendid south- 

 land. I am a southern man myself. There is 

 no spot that appeals to me stronger than this 

 great southland- Memphis. The development of 

 the cotton crop, the development of the mines, 

 what is produced by felling the forest, meeis 

 with no parallel in all the world's history. With 

 thousands of millions of wealth being added to 

 the country with every deeade, and growth and 

 development in population the like of which the 

 country lias never known. I cannot but stand on 

 my feet today and almost envy the young man 

 in his enjoyment of the resources and advantages 

 which fifty years will firing about. | Applause. [ 



W. E. Delaney of Cincinnati made a com- 



pli ntary reference to Chief Inspector 



Hill, stating thai his work had been found 



entirely satisfactory and suggested that 



Mr. Hill should lie duly complimented on 



lie splendid service he had rendered the 



association. At the suggestion of the chair 



Mr. Hill responded: 



From the Chief Inspector. 

 There is only one subject I can talk about at 

 .all, and that is inspection of lumber. The other 

 details of the association work are carried out 

 by others. Since I have? been witii the associa- 

 tion we have endeavored to treat every man. 

 members of the association and consumers of 

 lumber, strictly impartially. We have tried to 

 give you just what you have shipped. We have 

 tried to give to tile consumer just What he 

 bought, and if at any time the report of our 

 inspections or reinspections does not suit the 

 shipper and lie feels that possibly the Lumber 

 might have been better. I want to impress this 

 upon you — thai we have done exactly what the 

 rules prescribed for us to do. I am proud that 

 I am employed by an association such as ihis 

 that is strictly hones! in everything that it un- 

 dertakes. 1 am proud to say that I have 1 n 



instructed by the president and our secretary, 

 and Mr. Yansanl. our expert. In he strictly im- 

 partial in all things. I thank you. | Applause. |
