the Merchants' And Manufacturers’ As
sociation conferred with President Mtn-
•ry. of the railway company, but the

The police made strenuous efforts
yesterday to quell the disorders, but

city service.
The railway company nturned to the
postofllce pouches of mall which tt was
unabls to deliver at the sub-stations,
because no men could b* found who

points In one Instance the United
States mall sign was torn from a car.

Long Aftsr Midnight
Unfortunately the banquet wae de
layed over an hour after the scheduled
hour. 8:S0 o’clock. Where the fault
lay Is not known, but evtn with the
time-llmlt on the speeches It made the
cloilng- hour too late—2(10 In tho
morning.
Aside from this nothing marred the
occasion, and eo fine waa the banquet.

to mind even that. It was perfectly
appointed and served. From Martinis
lo deml tasse It was the real thing.
Nephew King, president of the areo-
datlon thet buret Its swaddling clothes
last evening, aprang a surprise on
everybody. Few were there thet did
not know him for one of the beet cot
ton men In the 8outh, one of tire po
tent far lore In the upbuilding of Rome,
and the ffneet fellow personally In the
country. They didn’t know thet he
was one of the cleverest, wittiest toast-

arises ask any of the two hundred
there last night. ’ .....
His Introductions were keen, clasal-

good sense. He edded tremendously to
the pleasure of the evening.

He paid glowing tribute to Judge
Maddox, Congressman Lee end Con
gressman Burnett for their tireless
work In trying to get sufficient money
to open the Cooaa to the gulf. At tne
conclusion hs was glvsn a tremendous
ovation. Significance, attaches to the
enthusiasm aroused, since Rome le Ihe
home of Hon. Seaborn Wright, a proba
ble candidate for the senate against
Senator Clay.
Hon. W. w. Brooks, scheduled to tell
of n Greeter Shorter College, was III.
and could not be present. But Toast

paper, showing how the fund for 1600,-
000 to make Shorter the greatest wo,
man's college In Ifie South, praa al
most In hand, due largely to the efforts
of Mr. Brooks.
Mayor Maddox's Ovation.
Mayor Maddox received an ovation
that In enthusiasm perhaps eclipsed
that given any man present. Hle sub
ject was ’’Rome Out of Politics—Gov
erned by n Commission Board and on a
Business* Baals,"
"That la not nn accomplished-dact
yet, but we are going to have It," said
Judge Maddox. “Tho day of the ward

hie selfishnees and hie narrow views.
We are coming lo the basis which haa
revolutionised Ihe wonderful city of
Galveston. What we need here la "The
Atlanta Spirit.” That Is the militant,
achieving, wonderful spirit of coopera
tion that haa made Atlanta tha won
der of the Union.”
Judge Maddox said that the city had
Ha opportunity now to aland to the ad
ministration by voting for the bonds
for • lighting plant, for street paving
nnd for sewerage. In closing, he said;
•'Our watchword now and forever
more D Rome first, last and all tha
time.”
Governor Terrell.
Governor Terrell le a great favorite
In Rome, and they gave him tn ovation
to warm the heart of any man. He
paid stirring tribute lo "Rome’* Oreet
Mayor.” In a witty manner hb haied
some of the leading lights present, and
brought forth bureta of applause. HD
speech dealt with the greatness of tht
state, and was a fine effort.

trict of Georgia, and Congressman Bur

J. A. Betjeman, chairman of the lm-.

A prominent Dry Goods paper says of ribbons:
“So great is the demand for ribbons in the prevailing
1907 spring modes, that it has occasioned a scarcity of
raw silk, the inevitable result of which is an increase of
pnee.
And therein you have the key-note.
You’ll need ribbons; ribbons on nearly everything
this spring, from the hats down.
And, too, you’ll not be apt to buy them later on at
regular prices, let alone a price like this.
Think of how many times a year you buy these
very things. * '
