Some plan Of entertainment for the Wis

make their NSsit a pleasant one. 1t Is
probable that a public reception viii be
arranged for in the long room Of the city
exchange on Wednesday morning. II this
should be agreeable to the governor. He

letter is expected from him before his ar
rival.

10 make the meeting a rousing one. in
fact there is little doubt that it will be
one of the most enthusiastic gatherings
Savannah has seen in years. There will
be fifty seats placed on the platform. and
these win be occupied by well-known sa-
vannah democrats. The executive COM
mittee decided to extend invitations to the
following to occupy seats on the platform;
the mayor and aldermen, the judges or
the city and superior courts, the noml-
nees Tor the legislature, the nominee for
the Senate from the First district, Judge
the state campaign committee. Messrs.

vail of the Savannah Press, President W.
W. Osborne Of the Citizens Club, Presl-
dent 4. w. Meldrim Of the Liberal Club

Lawrence, J. r. Cain, J. NJ. Dreyer, j. +.
Cam and II. NJ. Stanley, in all about fifty.
The seating capacity of the hall will be
increased to its utmost limit. and there
is little doubt it viii be well crowded.
This will be the first time Gov. Atkinson
has made a public speech in Savannah,
and there are many who will want TO hear
him. Senator Bacon, too, has many
friends here, and between two such we'll
known speakers, there will be little room
in the han for the man who gets in late
An effort was made to get the theater in
order to better accommodate the large
crowd that will turn out, but IL could
not be secured on account OF the work Of
repainting and vanishing that is now be-
ing done on the interior. The Odd Fell
lows hall, however, will in a push ac-
commodate something like 500 people. and
there is little doubt that it Will be taxed
to its capacity.
The executive committee Of the club will
hold another meeting Monday night to
complete all arrangements for the occa-
sion, and to decide upon any plan of en-
tertadnment Of the guests that may be
deemed suitable to the occasion. Interest
in the club seems to be on the rapid in
crease, and it is wonderful the number
OF Bryan-Sewall men Savannah has de
veloped within a surprisingly short space
of time
