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.

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.
