EX-GOVERNOR II DANIEL,
OF Georgia. was the next speaker and said that as
Georgian it gave him pleasure to meet such dstin-
giished representation of the business men of the
tennessee, saving
that be was not ignorant Of the fact that Mem
ps had worthy competitors in such cities as Nash
vile, Chattanooga and Knoxville. The speaker
said when he reflected on the misfortunes Memphis
had had to endure he was amazed at what he saw
Of the extent and development of her trade. He
saw in it q prophecy Of what some OF the cities in
his own state may do and win do for as Memphis is
not the only city In Tennessee go Atlanta great as
she She is, Is not the only city. in Georgia We
strides to, oyertake you, with her carrying
trade and cotton traffic. Augusta par
ern cities in her mammoth cotton mills. Columbus
Is not far lehind Augusta, if at all, in the same
industry. we are seeking in Georgia to solve the
ming into cofh f for Trade out a6 ny cPn
merce, by developing mines, Of iron and coal, and
covering the state with smaller industries It will
be your pride TO spur us on and emulate u.s. and,
perhaps, pass us Let us keep hand in hand, and
the future prophesied by my friend Grady, will be
realized.
fEvAN p. HOWELL,
editor Of THE ATLANTA c. INSTITUTION was the next
speaker and told an anecdote Of soldier coming
home from the confederate service who declined to
go IN bathing with hi comrades, although he ad-
woHdnt esi-a Asked sp'l for i hi8 reason he he
never to do another voluntary act long as i've"
Mr. Howell said he had gone on the tip with the
commlssary department with the understanding
that he was to confne himself to eating [laughterl
and here he was called upon to speak when he had
made up his mind not to do any voluntary speak
Mr.. Howell said he was gratifed by what he had
seen in Memphis, and predicted that in the not dis
tant future Memphis would not only be the most i'm
poItant city south OF st. Louis but the greatest
city In the Mississippi valley. He said man can
rightly approximate the power placed in the hands
of Memphis by the vast quantity OF raw material
disposed of here annually "Let us keepi it here he
said. Take Grady's advice. You now send $50
worth OF cotton to New England and it comes back
in the shape of $500 worth of Calico That's
the way to get rich. That's what we are
all after. Laughter and applause Atlanta is not
Jealous of Memphis, but wishes you God speed. We
are not only pleased with the iron ties that now
connect US, but want one or two more. We want
to keep you. We will help you. The situation said
the speaker reminded him of q lot of Confed-
crate soldiers coming home from the One said
he was going to Mexico another to Texas. Every
man was going to q different place. but there was
man by the name of Webster in the party, the best
all round soldier he ever saw. He did the cooking
for the crowd and, like all good soldiers did it we'll
When Webster was asked what he going to do,
he said, II am Eoin back to my old farm and raise
Q crop, and II the yankees fool with us Wen whip

God had done almost everything for this corn-
try, continued Mr. Howell, s'and the southern peo-
pie had but 20 reach out their hands to realize the
great destiny which awaited them" LGreat APP

ception and much handwriting followed. The
