B. & B. Employees Present
Him with a Beautiful
Gold Watch
AS A TOKEN OF ESTFEM
Present Was Presented to Him Last
Night and Members of all Depart
fnents~ of the Road Were
Interested.

Mr.. G. w. Berry, the genial general
eral manager Of the B. & B., was pre-
sented a very handsome gold watch
last night by the men connected with
the various departments of the road.
Employees of all departments Joined
i'm the remembrance, and it Showed
very plainly that Mr.. Berries pop
ularity is general and not confined to
any one department.
The presentation was made in his
Office and came as complete surprise
to MIR. Berry. 1t was interesting
to NOTE the puzzled expression IN his
face as all the employees of the road
who knew what was to happen filed
into his Office in body and formed
a semi-circle around his desk, while
Col. w. f. Kay, In an unusually happy
vein, presented the token of esteem
and love to Mr.. Berry. After this had
been done, Mr.. Berry feelingiy re-
sponded in what might be termed
a heart-to-heart talk with the men
under him, in which he impressed upon
them that his success was their sue
cess and their success his success,
and that cooperation was necessary
for proper administration OF the at
fairs of any railroad.
The watch was not to have been
presented until Thursday, hut it be-
came known late yesterday afternoon
that Mr.. Berry expected to leave this
morning to- spend the holidays with
his family in New York, and it was
therefore necessary to psssent sae
watch last night.
Mr.. Berry was also the recipient of
a very pretty gold match oox given
by Mr.. abe Rotchschild, the popular
jeweler,

graduated at Harvard the law tried
its spell on him for awhile as it did
on Lowell, but he fell under the infiu-
ence of Theodore Parker, and at
twenty-four became pastor of the Con
gregational church at Newburyport,
retaining this position for three years.
He was one of the first assailants of
slavery, and lost his church on ac-
count Of his beliefs. Still under the
influence Of Theodore Parker, he be-
came what he called "secularized"
minister and launched out as a reform

Mr.. Brantley was seen at the Ogle.
thorpe last night by News reporter
and he talked very interestingly of
national matters of Importance and
with the reporter discussed the DO.

Congressman Brantley as when
ne left for Washington last month, is
Of the opinion that German Is In the
lead for the democratic nomination,
and thinks he is favored by a major
lty of the democrats in Washington.
How about Judge Parker?" asked
the repr%er.
Judge Parker is a very able man. "
said the congressman, and would no
doubt mike the democrats a good
standard bearer. Ii New York dem
Iocrats limo up for him and stand to
him in the convention | believe he
will have good chance of securig the
nomination, but it seems that a ma
jority OF the New York democrats, or
q great many of them favor German.
Party harmony is what we want
now. GET all the factions together
and then settle on a candidate" con-
tinued the congressman, and he thinks
that with a solid front, all factions
in line, the democrats have an excel
lent showing o' defeating the repuh-
licahs next year, and he says that all
democrats in Washington are very
hopeful over the situation.
Mr.. Brantley is quite sure that
Roosevelt will be named by the repub-
licans, bI, says there is considerable
opposition to him in republican ranks.
Locally, there is nothing very much
ley says we are not in shape just
now to esA for an appropriation to Sc

try to get an appropriation for a sur

says cannot be done in a minute. Be-
sides Brunswick, Mobile, Savannah.
md other ports are after money for
the improvement of '1eir harbors.

eressman hardly thinks any of them

AS to the lightship for Brunswick,
Mr.. Brartley hopes 10 secure it, hut
says he has strong opposition in the
person of Speaker Cannon, not that

hshing one off our bar, but is now
lighting al such bills. AS chairman
