Final Days Prgram Proved a
Charming One for Members
of Press Association
ST. SIMON FISH DINNER
WAS REAL FEATURE
Newspaper Men Visited South
ern Terminals, Atlantic Refn-
cry, JekyI and ST. Simon and
Adjourn Singing Brunswick's
Praises-Many Linger in City

The annual meeting of the Georgia
Press Association came to a close
on st. Simon yesterday afternoon after
meeting and outing pronounced by
many of the members to be the most
delightful in the history of the organ
ization.
The Association convened in Quit
man on Tuesday morning, arrived in
Brunswick on Thursday afternoon and
since that time up to the hour of its
final adjournment, has been the recip-
lent of various entertainments at the
hands of the people of Brunswick.
Yesterday morning at nine o'clock
the entire party and many Brunswick
people boarded the steamer Atlantic
for a days outing. First the trip was
made to the Southern terminals and
the Atlantic Refinery on Turtle river
then followed a complete journey of
the harbor to Jekyl, in which the, Wis
itors had ample opportunity to view
the splendid port Of Brunswick at its
very best. Many of the visiting news
paper men were absolutely surprised
at the almost unlimited facilities of
the harbor and at its natural advan-
tages.
At Jekyl, a stop of an hour was made
and the visitors were shown the won
derful palaces that dot that Sylvan
isle, the property of many American
millionaires. 1t was a rare treat to
! them and they enjoyed it to the limit.
| st. Simon was reached shortly be-
fore two o'clock and here in the shady,
oak powered grove just in the rear of
| the st. Simon hotel, the party was
treated to a magnificent fish dinner.
| The menu was a tempting one and the
hungry visitors found pleasure and de-
light in partaking of it.
| After the fish dinner, the association
automatically disorganized and the
1922 meeting became a thing of the
past, the members being free to make
their own arrangements for their own
pleasures. Many of them remained
on st. Simon and will spend two or
three days there; others came up to
the city and caught afternoon and
evening trains for their homes, while
few others still linger in the city:
The newspaper men and the lady
members of the party were all loud in
their praise of the charming manner
in which the people of Brunswick had
entertained them and they expressed
the hope that another invitation from
this city would come at an early date.

REGIMENTAL PARADE
WITNESSED BY MANY
Col. Russell Tells The News ISL
and is an Ideal Place for Camp
Site and That 1t Has Advan-
tages Not Possessed by Any
Other Place.

At 6 o'clock this morning the 122nd
regiment. Georgia National Guard,
which has been in camp on st. Simon
practically two weeks, will break camp
and will leave the island on special
boats entraining here for the various
company headquarters in other cities.
There are something like two hun
|dred guardsmen now doing patrol du-
|ty at Waycross and these will be kept
there for an indefinite time, press dis
patches state.
The regiment went into camp on
July 10, under command of Col. Henry
D. Russell, of Macon, and something
over twelve hundred men have been
on the island since that date, until a
detachment was ordered to Waycross
by Governor Hardwick last Wednes,
day morning under command of Major
Pope.
1t has been one. if not the most,
successful encampment ever held and
especially is this true as regards the
health of the officers and men. No
one has been an inmate of the hospi-
tai and there has been nothing to in
terfere with the daily drills as wealth
er conditions have been reasonably
good, there being only slight showers
ON several occasions.
In discussing the camp with a News
representative yesterday Col. Russell
said St, Simon was an ideal camp site !;
was of the opinion that there is no
place with all the advantages in the
state and spoke in the very highest
terms of his men and what had been
accomplished during the camp period.
Yesterday afternoon the last regi-
mental dress parade was held and
hundreds of Brunswick people, as well
as others from all parts of the state,
witnessed the interesting event.
Specials over the Atlanta, Birming-
ham G Atlantic and Southern will take
the men on at the terminals, it is stat
ed. and if this is the case the city
will not have the pleasure of having
them oven for short stay here. All
equipment and everything cosnected
with the camp will be loaded there
and with an official of the road along
the husky Georgia Guardsmen will re-
turn to their homes well trained and
ready to serve their country.
1t may be said that better crowd of
men have never been assembled and
the, record they have made calls for
congratulations to the company Off
GERS who trained them asd had them
in the pink of condition for the hard
two weeks before them.

event it carries Kingslend will then
be the capital

Many arguments are being used by
those favoring Kingsland and one of
these is the easy accessibility to it
and the fact that st. Marys is not on
railroad is another reason assigned
for removing. The election will be
