consisted of President S. X. Brown,
F. H. Mallard, Thomas Hopkins ana
Mike Brown, who left the city in the
Sc. NJ F." of Mr.. Mallard's, making
a record breaking run to the Magic
City. There the entire party was
entertained by the Waycross club and
the greatest enthusiasm was manifest
ed by the autoists and good roads en-
thusiasts of that city.
The Waycross people cheerfully
agreed to cooperate with the Bruns-
wick club on making the Satilla

the kind ever held in South Georgia
