to have been a great success both In

the effective work done for the movs- j

Mr. George W. Deen introduced
Governor-elect ttmith, in a few very
appropriate lemarks, in closing allud

elect Smith might be called to na

This bill is largely formed on the
line of a bill that Senator Aiken sue- j
ceeded in 'carrying through the sen
ate and for which due credit should j
be given him. Also in the new bill
Is incorpoiated many features of the/
North Carolna drainage law, now in |
effect and found to be working ad-1
mirably for the development of scien
tific drainage and the reclamation of j
waste and swamp lands in that state, j
A great feature of the gathering
was a very strong, broad speech deliv
ered by Governor-elect Hoke Smith.
He seemed to be in the house of 'his
friends and the applause before and
after, were unusual in character.
The A. B. A. A. Railroad.
In the course of his speech, in his
forcible way, he alluded to the- work
now being done by the Atlanta, Bir
mingham and Atlantic railroad In
bringing new people and developing
this section of the South. Hit lan
guage was a striking testimony ana
recognition of the work, being done
by Mr. W. H. Leahy, as was as fol-
the United States government.
At the .close of the speeches a set
of by-laws were adopted and the offi
cers elected at Waycross, were unani
mously re-elected to serve the con-
gres for 1911, and the congress ad
journed, (Subjeit to call of President
0. W. Deen) and uccepted the invi
tation in a body to a delightful trip
in a steamer around the harbor.
