ADDRESS or c. (. DAGGETT
RETIRING PRESIDENT

Gentlemen of the Marlanna CONNER
cial Club:
words are things, and small
drop of ink, falling like dew upon a
thought, produces that which makes
hundreds, perhaps thousands, think
1t is customary for a retiring Of
fetal to review this accomplishments
OF his administration and make such
suggestions for the future as he may
deem pertinent The custom will not
be violated in this instance How
ever, as it is a great deal less
trouble to formulate than to execute,
the greater part OF this paper viii
be devoted to suggestions for the
future, rather than summarizing the
accomplishments of the past.
When | was elected as your presid-
ing and executive officer last year,
the time indeed seemed propitious
for great deal of constructive or
ganized effort in this county. | had
rendered me the hearty support and
cooperation of the most active mem
bers of the organization but within

more important war activities. 1t
took all of us several months to find
ourselves and get the proper per-
spective. However, as in all such
instances, Lee county measured up
to the standard and began readjust-
ing herself to the changed conditions.
The government Immediately called
for an extensive food campaign, and,
regardless of the fact that we had
just completed such campaign,
we put our shoulders to the wheel
and made It again. The result of
these two campaigns is apparent to
everyone. Some of us estimate the
benefit derived therefrom to be great
err in extent than others. The result

gible kink, neglible from the view
point of some of us, valuable from
the standpoint of others. / know not
how to estimate the value from a
monetary viewpoint. My opinion of
the benefits derived may be exagger-
ated. However, | ao-a say, without
fear Of contradiction, that there is
not a thinking man in this commun-
ity who will question the statement
that it was worth the effort involved
and that whatever was accomplished
was due solely to the existence of
the Commercial Club In other words
if the Commercial Club had not been
a working organization, it is exceed
ingly doubtful that these campaigns
would have been madeat least the
full force, vim and vigor put behind
L =. III
During the past year, however, the
Club has accomplished some things
that assume definite and tangible
shape For the past five years, or
more, some few of the citizens of
this county have been imbued with
the idea that drainage in the western

stacles. Education was the first es

to be overcome these men labored

1917, through organization, education
and concerted effort two districts

when conditions are normal actual

Another tangible Accomplishment
Of this organization during the past
year was the location Of the sawmill

And last, but not least, it was
through this Organization that the
