Not Declining ONCE.

wv OhCSs
Il differ a little, my friends, from our
two brothers of whom you have heard
Mr.. Coleman speak | am a candidate
for office, the highest in the gift of the
people of this state, and am willing to
abandon my present occupation tenn
porarily in order, if / am elected, to
fill the office to which 1 aspire. If
receive the same support from the rest
of the people as / shall from the edi-
tors, l don't think there can be much
doubt of my election.
Il have been glad to have you at my
country home. Whatever the future
holds, l shall always remember this
day as one of the happiest l have ever
spent at Wimberly. l hope that we
shall all live long enough to meet here
or elsewhere again.
Col. B. w. Wrenn, passenger traffic
manager of the Plant System, respond
ed to the introduction of Mr.. Cabaniss
and the calls of the diners, by making
a happy little speech. Col Wrenn
started out with the statement that he
could not make a speech, particularly
an after dinner speech, and then pro-
ceeded to prove unconsciously that he
had done himself too little credit. Re
ferring TO Col Estill's candidacy for
Governor, Col. Wrenn said:
There is not a man in Georgia who
wishes more heartily than l do that the
people of this commonwealth will
honor him with the chief office in their
gift"
Mr.. j. C. Halle, general passenger
agent of the Central Railway, was in
troduced by Mr.. Cabaniss as the rep
resentative of the system which had
borne the brunt of the transportation
which had brought the editors of so
many papers to be the guests of Col.
Estill.
"It gives me great pleasure" he
said ito see you here as the guest or
my friend and neighbor, Col. Estill. II
gives me great pleasure to recognize
the undoubted influence that you WELD
in guiding the policy and shaping the
destines of this state. 1t gives me
great pleasure and satisfaction to be-
lieve that this Influence will be welded
in favor of the candidacy of Col. Es-
till. With such friends as you, who
can doubt his success?"
Mr.. Pope Barrow responded pleasant
ly and wittily to calls for a speech, in
which he stressed the fact that there
is no welcome like a Savannah well
come, as well to the transient so journ-
err within her gates, as to those who
like himself, had made their homes and
cast their fortunes with those Of the
city. you will have always he said,
"a warm place in the hearts of every
Savannah man and woman" Mr.. Bar
row concluded by introducing Hon. j.
Pope Brown.
Col BrOwn's Happy Effort.
Col. Brown said he had not come to
Wimberly with any idea of making a
sneech and that after discussing all the
good things with which the tables had
| been loaded he did not feel any more
in the humor.
