I
go to Port Royal 200 strong, and there
charter steamer to come to Savannah,
arriving here early Wednesday morning,
the opening day of the convention. Mr..

Augusta delegation will be as large as
he says it will be.

will be well represented. All of them have
elected delegates and alternates, and their
names have been sent in TO MIR. Solomons.

All these posts have been taking in new
members at lively rate in order to run
their membership up and secure the larg-
est possible representation in the conven-
ton, a delegate being allowed for every
ten members. The same thing has been
done by Post A. and 1t is said there has
been such great interest aroused that there
is likelihood of a new post being formed
here after the convention.
1t has been decided that the chartering
of one of the vessels of the Ocean Steam
ship Company for a trip down the river is
impracticable owing to none of the ships
being in port at the desired time. The visi-
tors will therefore be entertained in other
ways. The programme has been definitely
mapped out now for the three days the
convention will be in session.
The morning of Wednesday the opening
day, will be spent in the hall, where the
speeches will be made Addresses will be
delivered by Mayor Meldrim, State Presi-
dent e. L. Smith. Hon. f. G. duBignon,
Hon. Patrick Walsh, National President
Joseph Walerstein and Mr.. J. S. Reynolds
of Augusta. Mr.. Max Robinson, former
Savanna hian and poet laureate of the as
ISOLATION, who was expected, cannot be
present. He was to have read an original
poem. Business meetings will be held
Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday
night Thursday morning another bust
ness meeting will BE- held, and in the at
ternoon the members and their wives and
daughters will go down'to Tybee. A sup

tract having been made with Proprietor
Graham for the entire hotel for the after
noon and evening.
