THE COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.
The Peabody Hotel and the Members of the
Press.

EDITORS SAwED.-AbOut a mOnth ago
the proprietors of the Peabody Hotel, in
Memphis, invited all the editors visiting
that city during the session of the Com
merciai Convention TO stop at his house
free OF charge. As a matter of course
they all stopped there, having before hand
puffed his house, but when they were
ready TO leave for home they, the editors,
were informed that their board bU TdS
due!"
/ find the above in the columns of the
Okolona Palladium, and as l have seen
similar publications in other country
newspapers-all of which are calcu-
lated to do a gross wrong
to Col. Cockerell and the Peabody
Hotel. as Chairman of the Press Commit
tee, and the party through whom the in
y~itation from Cockrell was made, 1 feel it
incumbent on myself to say that there is
no truth in either of the sentences which
compose the paragraph.
Col. Cockrell did not invite all the ed
itors visiting the city during the session
of the Commercial Convention to stop at
his house free of charge" He did invite
all editors coming to the Convention as
delegates TO make his house their home
while in the city, free Of charge, nd TO
my certain knowledge, all who aNhled
themselves of the offer had no cause 10
regret ii.
a good many KkO Were not delegates
availed themselves of the opportunity,
and also went there, but so far from ever
being Uniformed that their board bill was
due" in no single instance was a bill pre-
sented to, or money accepted from them.
This much l say, in justice to Col. Cock
erell, and l hope that for the homo of the
editorial profession, that those papers, y
any, who nave copied the above, or writ
ten similar paragraphs, will make the
correction. FRANK l.. JAMES,
Chairman Press Committee.
