Representative Tatum Of Dade made the

Of Savannah's hospitality, but he had never
| realized the true import Of the word until
he met its people. Savannah's business i'm
portance, he said, was also O revelation to
him, and he realized that il ia destined to
| be q great city. Whenever his vote or in
fuence can be of use to further her interests,
Representative Tatum said, it would be at

SENATOR GLEEN's SPEECH.
Senator r. III. W Glenn of the Forty
fourth district made the speech Of the occa-
sion. The day. he said, had been one OF
both pleasure and instruction to him. It
was an intermingling of the mountain and
the seaboard-an intermingling which
would be fraught with good results in ths
future. The getting of deep water for
Savannah's harbor, said Ssna-
tor Glenn, is matter which
represents the people of the mountain
districts, as well as those of the seaboard,
tor it means to them an opening to the
world fer their products. If his vote can
be Of any use TO further the city's interest
in this or any other respect it will be always
| cheerfully given. The senator thanked the
4
ciates for the hospitsble entertainment
given them, and said he hoped the day was
not far distant when they can show their
appreciation by assisting Savannah's prog
| TeSs.
WELCOMED TO TYBEE.
Alderman w. 6. Cam was introduced to
the legislators by Representative Clifton as
one of the most hospitable members of the
| Chnthams and one OF the mightlest law
makers in Georgia. Alderman Cam well
coined the party to Tybee as an artillery
man, and, although out Of his jurisdiction
as an alderman, welcomed them TO Savap-
nah. He thanked the speakers who had pre-
coded him for their kind wishes toward the
} city aud for their profPered support 10 its
progress. If ever Savannah, said Alder
man Cam, can be OF service in advocating
the interests of the mountain section of
Georgia, her aid and influence will be given
with willing hand.
Representative Clifton called the atten-
ton of the legislators to the fact that the
Chatham Artillery was the oldest military
organization in Georgia, with history that
every Georgian should be proud Of II
fought for the liberty OF America in the
revolutionary war and can show
to-day two brass cannons presented
to the command by Gen. Washington for
; its meritorious services. Again when the
liberties Of the southern people were al

of its people. His remarks we're greeted
with cheers by the visitors.

sentatives Tatum and Clifton returned t
