The bankers have finished the bust
ness of their conventions, and most of
them have left for their homes. They
had pleasant stay in Savannah. That
has been the testimony of every one
of them. All were generous in their ex-
pressions of the appreciation they felt
for the hospitality shown them by the
bankers of this city, and they declared
that they will long remember the con-
vention as the most pleasant they ever
attended.
It was by comparatively little bust
ness, but by a great deal of pleasure
that the stay of the bankers was char
acterized. Effort was made by the COM
rnittee of the Savannah Clearing Asso-
citation to assure the visitors a good
time, and in this great success was
won. The programme was attractively
interspersed with entertainments that
proved everything that could have
been expected, and the delight of the
visitors was great.
The GROWING feature of the enter
tainment was the trip to Tybee yes
terday afternoon. This was taken
aboard a special train. which left the
Tybee depot at o'clock. city time.
Nearly all of the bankers were aboard.

the trip. and they did everything pos
sible to conduce to the pleasure of
their guests. Tickets were furnished
all of the visitors. They were not al
lowed TO spend anything. Tickets for
bathing suits were presented. and
advantage was taken of the oppor-
tunity by nearly all. The surf was
splendid and the enjoyment derived
from II was probably as great as that
shown by any crowd that has visited
Tybee in years. To the up-country
people the bathing was a pure delight,
the novelty making it a great attrac-
ton.
Refreshments were served in the
South End Pavilion an hour or so
after the arrival of the train. Excel
lent music was afforded for the dane
ers, who found keen pleasure in the
pastime that can be enjoyed at Ty~
bee during the hottest summer
months.
While the younger people danced, the
bankers strolled about or sat discussing
matters of finance and what not. Many
succeeded in establishing their institu-
tons upon an excellent basis in the
estimation of their friends. and the
convention and the intercourse of the
associate members will probably re-
suit in the opening of many new &C
counts.
AS many of the visitors expected to
take the night trains for their homes,
the majority of the Tybee crowd left
for the city on the 7:45 train. They
went to their hotels, whence they made
their way to the stations Savannah's
bankers were at the trains to bid them

dition of the association, showing the

ed its report.
Following the reports, a discussion
precipitated by Mr.. T. N. Hardwick of
Dalton, who proposed. as the conven-
ton of the three states had been
fraught with much profit to all who
had attended, that the Georgia Asso-
citation, provided it We're invited, meet
next year in North Carolina or Vir-
ginia. Capt. r. J. Lowry of Atlanta
cid not sanction this proposition, but
took the view that, as the extensive
trips are costly, it was probably the
desire of the bankers to meet at home
next year. Mr.. J. K. Ottley of Atlanta
concurred in this view and offered a
resolution stating that the Georgians
had enjoyed meeting with the Virgin
ians and the North Carolinians and
leaving the question of the place for
the next meeting to the Executive
Council. This resolution was adopted
On motion, the thanks of the asso-
citation were extended the Savannah
Clearing Association for its courtesy

DROPPED DEAD IN STREET.

An unknown negro man dropped
unconscious at the corner of Olive and
Farm streets last night and died in
a few minutes. His death was caused
by acute alcoholism. DR.. r. H. John
son, colored, had been %lmmoned and
was with him when he breathed his

He directed that the Negroes body be
removed to the morgue, where it is
expected some of his relatives will
recognize it and care for it during

vague impression that he had worked
for C. M. Gilbert & Co. The man
was about so years old.
