CHEAPER STOCKS IN
CENTER or ACTIVITY
Financial Review Shows Strong
Upward Tendency on
Good Reports.

Greater activity has been shown in
the stock market during the past week
than for many months in the same
time, total of nearly 5000 shares of
various stocks being recorded as chang
ing hands. But as many of these were
the cheap stocks, so called, McBryje
and Olaa in the majority, the total
values were less by comparatively
small amount than the sales of the week
before. The feature of the market has
been the furry IN McBryde, following
the announcement of j. p. Cooke, pres
ident of Alexander g. Baldwin, Ltd,
agents for the McBryde plantation, that
small dividend would undoubtedly be
paid on the common stock during the
present year. This stock went to 900
HAT, but closed yesterday at $50. Olaa
was advanced during the week to $50,
closing yesterday at 6.25.
From all sides in this Territory have
come excellent reports as to the condi-
ton of the sugar crops. The weather
has been good and the percentage Of
sucrose Is reported high. All of the
mills are now hard at it and the crop
is being moved to market in fine. shape
and at much higher prices than at this
time last year. Altogether the high
prices realized, especially in a few of
the high priced stocks, among which
Pioneer went to 23S.50 are justified by
the outlook at this time for the season.
The following table shows. the trans
actions in various stocks and the fluctu-
ations in prices, for the week:

slightly more favorable to cane. With

A Rousing Finis.

As Judge Cooper announced that the
ceremonies were over, the Rev. i, W.
Damon walked in front of the audience
and called the dispensing crowd again
to attention. Then, in glowing words,
he apostrophized the college and its
mission and pointing to the big brown
structures that house the, Mid.Paeife
Institute and to its uniformed students
who were present, pledged the support
of that great institution to the work
and welfare of the College of Hawaii.
"There are many boys and girls of
the Mid-Paciiic Institute here today, "
he said, "who will be some day aspir-
ants for scholarship in this college. .
Then he turned to tho boys and called
for three cheers for the College of Ha-
waii. which were given with rousing
goodwill.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Democratic

He IS In FAVOR
OF PRIMARIES
CHAIRMAN WRIGHT MAKES 4
STATEMENT. AS TO THE DATE
FOR NAMING DELEGATES.

Chairman ". y. Wright of the state
democratic executive committee
comes forward with some sage advice
to the county executive committees in
Georgia.
Il believe it would be wise for
all of them to hold off their primar-
les for county officers said he, "un-
til the state committee meets and
fixes the date for the presidential pri-
mary. The state committee is due to
meet early in April, shortly after the
registration books close on April 2.
If the county committees wait and
fix the dates of their county primaries
On the same date that the state com
mittee selects, we will poll a much
larger vote in the entire state than
We would if each county were to hold
its OWN primary regardless of the
state primary. Combining them, we
courage a general expression of the
voice of the people"
The larger counties generally pur-
sue the policy which Chairman Wright
suggests. The matter is not, how
ever, governed ty any rule save the
best good of all the people.

Bogota, Colombia, Feb. 22.-General
Pedro Mel Ospina, Colombian minis

inop9ortune, Notwithstanding the fact
that Colombia's claim in connection

GLYNN COUNTY
HARMON
Be ORGANIZED
SUPPORTERS OF OHIO GOVERNOR
ARE TO WoRK FOR HIS
NOMINATION..
Organization Meeting Will Be Held
q, Next Week and a Big Rally Will
Be Arranged for the First Week in
March,

Friends and supporters in Bruins
wick and Glynn county of Governor
Judson Harmon of Ohio, for the dem
ocratic nomination for president, held
a conference yesterday and decided
10 organize a Glynn County Harmon
club, and later to hold a big Harmon
rally in this city.
The organization meeting will be
held in the office of Mayor Butts at
ahe city hall next Friday. At this
meeting a chairman will be named,
committees appointed and other mat
ters handled and arrangements will
be made for big mass meeting to be
held on the night of March 5, at which
d number of addresses will be made.
Resides one Or two local speakers,
one or more visitors viii also be in
yijed and the meeting will be made
a large one.
\ Harmon club was organized
among the democrats of S4yannah
only few days ago, with large
membership, and such clubs are being
formed in various sections ;of the
state; in fact within the next month
it is expected that practically, every
county in the state will have, a we'll
organized Harmon club, and strong
fight Will be made III Georgia for his
nomination.
That Governor Harmon has large
following in the state there is no
doubt; and it is now believed by many
of his supporters that the Georgia
delegation to the national convention
will go to Baltimore in June instruct
ed for him. Here in Brunswick he is
decidedly the favorite candidate for
the nomination, and it is expected
that the Harmon club of Glynn county
will have many members on IS rolls.
The meeting to be held next Fri
day will be in the form of only an
organization meeting, but all of the
supporters of the governor are invited,
and at the rally to be held on March
G the people of the city generally will
be invited to attend, The list of the
speakers will be announced later.

AN ASSOCIATION
OF PICTUAE E,En
MANAGERS IN GEORGIA DECIDE
TO PORN A STATE Or
GANlZATION.

Manager A. j. Wood of the Grand,
returned yesterday from Cordele,
where he attended a meeting of all
OF the theatrical managers of south
Geo tgia, at which a number of mat
ters of interest to the patrons of the
various playhouses were transacted.
Managers of some fifteen or twenty
theatres and moving picture shows
were present. '%'7
The most important matter han
died was the decision to organize at
an early date a state organization, to
be ,lnown as the Moving Picture Elk
hibitors' Association of Georgia. and
the manager of every moving picture
show in the state will be invited to
join the organiza ton. 1t was decided
to mold c1e organization meeting in
Macon, the date of which will be an
nounced later. The moving picture
men state that this association is to
be formed for the mutual protection
of the picture business in this state.
The association decided to make an
cfGort to have the state law, taxing
picture shows $40 per month, amend
ed. They point out that it is an in
justice to the business to make each
manager pay a state license of $120
per year, and the secretary was in
structed to write every picture man
ager in the state, requesting him to
q
reduce the tax to $40 per year.
Considerable other business of in
terest to the picture men was disposed
Of and the meeting to form a state
organization will be held shortly. F
White Of Albany, acted as temporary
chairman of the meeting, and Manager
Wood of this city, as secretary.
