CHANCELLOR BoGGs, of the state
university, is evidently believer in
the old blue laws. He recommended
that the diplomas of the Athens grad
yates be held up because the class had
good time at commencement ban
quet. The young men had finished a
long and arduous college course, and
they had right to indulge in little
celebration. Wonder if Chancellor
Boggs ever felt happy enough to ceIe-
brate.

THE RESERVES RENDEZVOUS.

The success of the trip of Lieuten.
ants Aiken and Wright, of the Naval
Militia, to Washington, in the inter
est of nvaal demonstration in this
port in July, was not unexpected by
those who knew the motive and object
of their going. The TIMES gives, in
its local columns today, the result OF
their visit to the chiefs OF the navy de-
partInant. Brunswick thus gains one
more attraction for the summer seq
son.
The rendezvous of the Naval Re
serves, coming just at the time when
the volunteer infantry are encamped
on st. Simon, together with the pres
ence in the harbor of a modern United
States cruiser, will make things eX-
C edingiy lively, and will bring hum
dreds of visitors from all parts of the
state
The plan of the navy department to
have all The naval militia of the Caro-
linas and Georgia to rendezvous at
Beaufort was not exactly satisfactory
to the Brunswick Reserves, not be-
cause they did not anticipate pleas
ant trip, but because the length of
time required was little more than
the maj yrity felt they could afford.
Under the present arrangement, they
will not have far to go, and can, to a

The Savannah Reserves would also
doubtless prefer st, Simon to Beaufort
and it would certainly be good idea
60 make the rendezvous on the island

their New York office, there was a
great rush ana great many people
thought they were crazy
Subsequent events proved it to have
been very clever advertising trans

thousands of bottles, it was in the
end profitable nearly every one that
took free bottle came back for more

they had derived better results from it,
