NJ M'ADOO REGRETS
He CAN'T ATTEND
DOLLAR DINNER
WRITES AN INTERESTING LET
TER TO PRESIDENT TWlTTY OF
BOARD OF TRADE EXPRESSING
HIS REGRETS.

The people of Brunswick generally
Will share the regret of the members
of the Board of Trade that Hon.
William G.. McAdoo was unable to ac-
cept the very pressing lrvitation ex-
tended him to be the guest of the
board and to deliver an address at
the dinner to be given on the 18TH
His duties as secretary of the treas
ury have Eeen most exacting, and he
has not only performed these obliga-
tions with the utmost fidelity and
most signal ability, but has taken
the keenest interest in the welfare of
every section OF the country and has
made it plain to the bankers that the
money which is issued either by or
upon the authority of the government
must not be manipulated in the in
terest of the few, but must be used
tC supply the legitimate demands of
all the people.
1t is unquestionaGly true that the
currency law enacted by the last
congress was the legislation most
cherished by President Wilson, and
Secretary McAdoo was a most poten-
tial factor in framing this, the most
important and lar reaching legisla-
tion that has been written On the
statute books in generatios.
The citizens Of Brunswick recall
whit much pleasure the visit of Mr.
'-NcAdoo to Brunswick in 1912 and
the very able address which he de-
lipered in the interest of Mr. Wilson
Mhhe in the city he was host at a
most delightful dinntr party rendered
TO a number of the citizens. Mr. Nc
.Adoo is most loyal southerser with
out being sectional. He feels a very
special interest in this immediate sec
ton because his mother was a ma
tive of Camden county. She was
Miss Floyd, a member of the dtstln-
guished family OF that name so well
and tavorab1y known in Georgia be
lore the war That MN >McAdoo sin
cerely regretted his inability TO come
to Brunswick at this time is clearly
revealed in his letter OF regret to
President Twitty of the Board of
TRADE, which is rs follows:
My Dear Mr.. Twitty: | have your
very kind letter of the 7th instant
and appreciate more highly than |
can tell you the compliment implied
III your invitation TO speak before the
Board Of Trade of Brunswick. l am
obliged, as l said in my telegram, to
decline invitations to make speeches,
especially at the present time
About Jekyl Island Some friends
OF mine have been urging me siren
Vously to go there for a week or two,
and | have been trying TO find op-
portunity for such a rest. Eut | do
not know whether 1 shall be able
to accomplish it or not. At the
moment it looks exceedingly discour-
aging. However, rs it is because
am obliged to take a rest, you can
naturally see that if | should begin
making speeches. or taking part in
festivities of any kind, the object
of my trip would be defeated. Then
again, the acceptance CT one makes
it diff cult for me IN decline, with
reason, other alluring invitations
which my friends are good enough
to send to me from time to time.
Please let me thank you heartily for
your very generous illusions to the
work ! have been trying to do here.
only wish that l could feel that my
efforts have been productive OF
enough good to make me deserving
eyen in a small degree of what you
have so kin1ly said
Faithfully yours,
