S. A., and J. Phil Campbell, of the
state agricultural department, were
present, which contributed much to
the success Of the celebration.

and served splendidly, without an
waits between courses, and was ea
joyed accordingly. With the serving

during the evening, introduced j. T.

of a bereavement in his family.
Mr.. Colson opened his welcoming
address by saying that no more pleas

anywhere, than to welcome a guest,
saying Brunswick is glad to welcome
her distinguished guests tonight
1T is especially gratifying" said
Mr.. Colson, to celebrate our annual
dinner and open the white way on the
same night. We hope that the close
relation growing out of the meeting
here tonight of Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt and Congressman Walker
will cause the representative from the
Eleventh district to vote in congress
for just as many battleships as the
assistant secretary wants.
Mr. Colson drew a touching picture
of the last speech of Jefferson Dayls
at Macon, where i'll unto death, Ii
spoke to thousands of Confederate So
diers, saying in conclusion that be
wished he might have arms loig
enough to embrace you ALL usil3' tie

Mr.. Haym then spoke on the work
of the organization which he heads,
telling OF the campaign for a de 3per
cnannel; on securing the Sixth, hight
house depot; harbor and railway facii-
tiles; how commerce is growiag by
millions annually; the work of the
board Of trade III negotiating for mere
factories and how only those o. real
financial worth were considered.
Mr.. Haym also touched on the agr;-
cultural development of Glynn colnty
and what the organization was doing
in that connection and that the b ard
of trade had done away with the u dst
to luck policy in Brunswick and wax
ened interest in matters of import.
He ended by making a plea for CT

sifogan do it now"
There is little doubt but that Presi
