Mr. Shaw Speaks.
Hon. Emmett R. Shaw of Fort
Gaines addressed a large audience
at the Brewton-Parker Institute
here last Friday evening on “the
Dangers of the Age,” and he
was given an appreciative hear
ing. He enunciated some import
ant topics, and his experience as
a legislator fits him for discussing
questions of vital interest to the
public.
His address, while forcible, was
more in the nature of a warning
against evils, social, political and
otherwise, which are calculated
to affect the moral and civic wel- •
fare of the state. It is possible
that Mr. Shaw will go on the
lecture platform, in which event j
many newly made friends will
have opportunity of hearing him
here again.
