cornpsnied by lender. gave the villagers tood +o
speculation and some little excitement TODAY The
divers slipped into the bay about dark last rivb+
and anchored almost under the shadow OF Saga
more TIll. THIS morning about daybreak thew
clipped out of the harbor again. and so far as the
,ovn busy bodies able TO find on, Iaf+ no =,
plaaation Of their visit 1t is supposed that the
commanders Of the submarines thought # 1v,sa
move 10 come into the harbor TO escape tha roueh
waters Of the Sound overnight Many OF the peo-
pie in the village believed the submarines were
brought here for the benefit of the President and
they confidently expected TO be treated to an ex-
hihifion OF some sort with the head of the admin
istration as a prominent actor or spectator The
fact that the President went down in a submarine
here in the bay last summer gave them reason tn
hope for this The leavetakng Of the boats put an
end 70 all these Interesting plans. and the towns
folk were forced 10 go back to their usual avoca-
tlons with their hopes unfulhIled

Georgia affairs and to thank him for attending the
Jamestown exposition on Georgia Day and max

President FOR what he has done for us said Mr.
Graves. and II we only had the opportunity TO
vote for him again. we'd show our appreciation in
better coin than words. What the President said
about Georgia's resources in his address was very
helpf,l indeed. and made great hit with all
the business men Of the state"
Nr. Graves said that neither he nor any other
of the from Georgia who attended the James
town exposition when the President was there had
charged Mr.. Roosevelt with attempting shorten
the speeches.
Il do not believe the President said Cut Il short
or anything else when the speeches were being
made by Governor Terrell said Mr.. Graves Il
vas the gTandstand quite near the President
during the exercises and know very we'll that he
did not make of the expressions that some of
the papers have said he did
That the Governor Of Georgia feels mora
strongly than Mr.. Graves the humiliation that is
shared by most Of the people Of their state over
