GEORGIA BANKERS
VISIT OUR CITY.
Officers of Witham Corporations
Come in Special Train.
William S. Witham, Southern Capital
isfc, President of 33 Banks and Inter
ested in Half as Many Cotton Mills
Brings Delegation Here at Banks Ex
pense. Many Handsome Georgia
Belles.
As bury Park Daily Press of Jane 23.
A gathering of bankers, unique in the
history of conventions, is now being
held at the Laurel House, this city. The
party is known as the Witham Bank
ing party and is composed of the cash
iers of the Witham banks, and the sec
retaries and treasurers of the Witham
cotton mills and their wives, number
ing in all about 102 persons, all from
the state of Georgia. In charge of the
party is William 8. Witnam, of Atlan
ta, Ga., prominent in the south as a
banker and cotton manufacturer of
Georgia. He is the president of 32
banks in the empire state of the south,
and has established and is the financial
agent of half as many cotton mills.
It is the cashiers and officials of the
above corporations that form the party.
The regulations of the institutions re
quire each employee to take at least two
weeks vacation every year, and the
cashiers are also required to attend at
least one bankers convention each year,
the banks and mills paying the expense.
So business and pleasure are combined,
the convention being held on the pleas
ure jaunts.
The party came north in a special
train over the Seaboard Air Line, leav
ing Atlanta, Ga.. last Monday. Stops
were made at Norfolk, Va., and Old
Point Comfort, and from there the par
ty proceeded to Washington on the
steamer "Dividend,” which they owned
from stem to stern. The capital was
taken by surprise, and the invading
bankers then moved on to Philadelphia
yesterday, a little too late however, to
see the Republican national convention
in session. They left for this city at 3
p. m. yesterday by a special train over
the Pennsylvania railroad, arriving
here on schedule time, 5:27 p. m., and
were at once driven to the Lanrel House
of which they took entire possession.
A royal fish supper awaited them to
which they did full j.istice. The even
ing was spent insight seeing and "do
ing the beach.”
The convention proper was held in
the parlor of the Laurel House this
morning beginning at 9:30 o’clock.
The session was opened with prayer
by Rev. John W. Height, D. D , of
Athens, Ga , and Scripture reading
from Luke xix, 18:28, which contained
particular references to bankers and
banking. Ex-Senator James A Brad
ley afterward extended a cordial wel
come to the visitors, as did also T. Frank
Appleby, president of the city council.
Mr. Witham gracjfnlly responded, as
did also Joseph Davis, of Albany, Ga.
Afterward followed addresses by two
prominent New York bankers, Alvan
Trowbridge and Charles A. Pugsbey.
A general discussion of baDk and bank
ers and banking by the members of the
Witham Banking association ended the
session.
Tonight a private band concert will
be tendered the bankers from 7 to 7:30
o’clock at the hotel. Tomorrow will ba
spent at various places of worship in
Ocean Grove and Asbury Park, and
Monday will be devoted to sight seeihg.
The party leaves for New York on Tues
day morning and will retnrn to the
south probably on Wednesday of next
week.
Dr. E. C. Cartledge and Dr. C. B.
Almond, eminent doctors of Atlanta
and Winder, Ga., are the physicians of
the party, and Rev. John W. Height of
Athens, Ga., is the chaplain.
In the party there are four bridal
couples. They are Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
Banks, married two months; Mr. and
Mrs. J. R. Walker, married two weeks;
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Leonard, married
five days; Mr. and Mrs. J. A McCrary,
married ten minutes. There would
have been three other bridal oouples but
for unexplained reasons on the part of
Clothing, Clothing.
In this department we are in the
lead and will stay there, you cant

determined to sdl you better
clothes for less money than any

The old saying that the south is noted
for itsbeantifnl women is amply verified
by the handsome southern belles of the
party.
Last fall I sprained my left hip while
handling some heavy boxes. The doc
tor I called on said at first it was a
slight strain and would soon be well,
bat it grew worse and the doctor then
said I had rheumatism. It continued
to grow worse and I could hardly get
aronnd to work. I went to a drug store
and the druggist recommended me to
try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. I tried
it and one-half of a 50. cent bottle cured
me entirely. I now recommend it to
all my friends.— F. A. Babcock, Erie,
