PRES. RAYMOND TO
VISIT BRUNSWICK
HEAD OF MALLoRY-cLYDE LINES
ON SOUTHERN TRIP AND is
TO COME HERE.

II. H. Raymond, former Brunswick
ian now president of the Mallory
Clyde steamship lines, is spending a
few days in Jacksonville on a South
ern inspection trip of points reached
by his lines and he is going to come
to Brunswick before returning to his
home in New York With reference
TO his visit the Florida Times Union
says:
"The AGWI steamship lines propose
to continue adding to their fleets until
all lines are able to efficiently handle
the growing business of the next few
years, says President H. II. Raymond,
of the Clyde and Mallory line, who ar
rived in the city early yesterday morn
ing on the steamship Lenape in com
pany with w. NJ Tupper, superintend-
ent for the Clyde, and several con
tractors, who came from Charles on
at the special invitation of the pres
ident. The latter is domiciled at the
Hotel Mason, while the others are at
the Seminole hotel.
"The business outlook is bright"
said President Raymond emphatically
when asked the direct question And
there is every indication for improve
ment. | can correctly say that the
beginning of the Improvement is al
ready here. When the European war
started the Clyde line suffered along
with the majority of Southern indus
tries. because of the fact that the mar
ket for products coming out of the
South were practically closed. But
during the last six months, conditions
have shown steady Improvement and
have been going forward rapidly until
at present we are about back to nor
NAL"
President Raymond spoke particu-
larly of the Improvements in lumber
shipments from Southern ports during
the last few months thus reterating
the optimistic viewpoint of prominent
lumbermen in convention here a few
weeks ago. He declared conditions in
the business world in New York on the
rise and spoke altogether favorably
of financial and industrial activities
holding to the normal stage with indi
cation of going far beyond expecta-
tions OF the most sanguine.
The steamship magnate declared
that the constructions now under way
by the AGWI lines totals little over
$6,000,000
"Our own company has just com
pleted the building ofthree ships which
have been delivered and two more are
to be turned over to the service next
June" he said "A sixth vessel is to
be built at some future date for sery-
ice between Jacksonville and New
York city to replace the Huron which
will then be used in the West Indian
line.
THE Clyde line expects to care for
the business as it grows, and to i. !.
anead of it If we can. The Jacksonville
port is becoming steadily more import
ant and its geographical location war
rants the patronage Of the shippers
throughout this section"
This is the first visit of President
Raymond to Jacksonville since one
year ago and he proposes to spend
about a week in and out of the city,
which he will make his headquarters
during brief visits to Brunswick, Tam
pa and other points.

marine for commerce was applauded.
The Presidents Message.
The message, as read by the pres
ident, is as follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress-Since
last had the privilege of addressing
you on the state of the Union the war
of nations ON the other side of the sea,
which had then only begun to disclose
its portentouS proportions. has extend
ed its threatening and sinister scope
until it has swept within its flame
some portion of every quarter of the
globe. not excepting our own hemi-
sphere, has altered the whole face of
International affairs. and now presents
prospect of reorganization and re-
construction such as statesmen and
peoples have never been called upon
TO attempt before
The president tells how this country
practiced neutrality and declares that
he hopes that when the time comes
for readjustment and rpcuperation this
country will he of infinite service. Re.
ferring to Central and South American
problems, the president declares that
we should retain unabated the spirit
which has inspired us throughout the
whole life of our government and
which was so frankly put into words
by President Monroe
We have been put to the test in the
case of Mexico, and we have stood the
test. Whether we have benefited Mex
leo by the course we have pursued re,
mains to be seen. Her fortunes are in
her own hands. But we have mt least
proved that we will NOT take advan
tage of her in her distress and under
take to impose upon her an order and
government of our own choosing Lib
erty is often fierce and intracta bic
thing. to which no bounds can he sci
and to which no bounds of il few
mems choosing ought ever to be set.
Every American who has drunk at
the true fountains of principle and ira
ditien must subscribe without reServa
ton to the high doctrine of the Vir.
ginia bill of rights, which in the great
days in which our government was set
up was everywhere among us accept
ed as the creed of free NEIL That Goc.
trine is, That government is or ought
to be instituted for the common bt ne.
fit. protection and security of the ppo-
pie, iiationl or community" that "of
adj the various modes and forms .;
government. that is the best which is
capable of producing the greatest de
gree of happiness and safety and is
most effectually secured against the
danger of maladministrution and that
when any government shall be found
inadequate or contrary to these pur-
poses Il majority of the community
hath an indubitable. inalienable and
inGefeaSible right to reform. alter or
abolish it in such manner as shall be
judged most conducive to the public
veal. We have unheSitatingly ap.
piled that heroic principle to the case
of Mexico and now hopefully await
the rebirth. of the troubled republic
which had SO much Of which to purge
itself and so little sympathy from any
outside quarter in the radical but nee
essary process. We will aid and be
friend Mexico. but we will not coerce
her. and our course with regard to her
ought to be sufficient proof to all Amer
lea that we seek no political suzerainty
or selfish control.
