VOLUME XXXXIII
Republicans Os
State Meet And
Elect Delegates
last week the State Republican
organization of Georgia met and
selected new representatives frcm
various sections and discussed
things for the good of their organ
ization.
To start with they read out of
their party M. O. Dunning, bec
cause he had accepted an appoint
ment frcm the Democrats. That
is rather amusing.
One of the most active ‘‘Repu
blicans’”” was B. H. MclLarty,
editor of The Ly .ns Progress at
Lyons. A good demccratic town
and should have a good democra
tic newspaper as its official organ,
but this is not true.
Friend McLarty is about as
versatile as friend Dunning. It
makes no difference who is Gover
nor of Georgia, friend McLarty
will get in his busom and stay
there, the Governor can’'t move
for McLarty.
One amusing incident was that,
when the leader deplored the fact
that they had no big daily news
paper flying the Republican ban
-ler, but this was fixed when
“friend’’ McLarty got to his feet
and said “The Savannah Morning
News is mighty good to us”. This
is another thing that is not right
When the leading paper of Sava
nnah, our neighboring city, has a
rewspaper that is mighty good to
the Rebublican party. In fact it
has been known for years as a
“Republican sheet’’.
The place for the Morning
News and McLarty’s Lyons Pro
gress is in one of the cock ribbed
republican states like Maine or
Vermont,
The South and the Democratic
party is good enough for us and
we want nothin g to do with Re
publicanism at all.
Charles G. Edwards, son of Mr.
G. M. Edwards has been spend
ing several days in Bryan vi.iting
his father and other relative: He
is located withthe Highway De
partment in Washington, D. C.
He returned to his <duties on
Thursday.

Roberts Gains'
In Popularity
p |
There is not a day that passes
but that the strength of Colum
bus Ruberts for Governor is gain
ing. He is the outstanding can
didate today. |
There is a reason for that. ‘
The people of Georgia hias just
about a fill of those that have
been in power for the past severall
years 'f‘hey have enough of mi
litary rule and the present Gover ‘
nor and the one before him have
seen fit to run the state with the‘
militia \
If Roberts would make the
announcement that Lint Miller
would be given his place as High
way Chairman if he were elected,
his race would arleady be won.l
Both Robers and Miller are rr~‘
garded by the people of Georgia‘
as being Hpnest, they may have
other faults, but 1t has nevorl
been hinted that they were any
thing but one hundred per ceut'
honest.
The state neéeds two honest
men like these at the head of the
state and the highway depart
ment. |
It would be a combination that
could not be beat.

A Review of Some of Savannsh’s Outstanding Citizens
. e ie i
Holding the position as President of American Shipping & Steye
doring Company of Savannah is no sinecure. It requires a construc
tive trend of mind not every one:possesses. But J. J. MaGee,
President of American Shipping Ste&oring Company, takes his work
seriously and feels the reward of seeing Georgia and the Southern
States constantly growing in population and financial importance is
a sufficient reward. L
Mr. MaGee has come to the front in business and progress be
cause of his level head and good judgement, which he knows how to
use without losing it. His uniformly square-deal habit has made
him a leader, his fullfillment of his drduous duties connected with
the Shipping Business has well proxfih his fitness of showing a man
ner of doing things thoroughly and gever by halves. A thorough
ness that is characteristic of this able executive.
Mr. MaGee hias not yet climbed to the highest pinnacle within
the reach of his ability, Nor has he attained the full reward of his
desserts. But he bides his time and is a true example of loyal ad
herence to his friends. Meéanwhile seething and surging currents of
shippimg business are never at rest, although they appear remark
ably calm on the surface. But the man whe is true to his principles
and {riends need never fear, as he will stand “pat’ like J. J. MaGee
and you always know just where to find him. .
It is a pleasure for the compiler of these facts to give honorable
recognition in the columns of this igsue to Mr. MaGee, as he is onc
of our most respected citizens deserving of praise by which benefits
the people throughout Georgia and the United States.

Speaking of the various personalities in Savannah we cannot go
along without the name of Captai: Frank W. Spencer, General
Manager and Treasurer of Atlantic Towing Company and Master
Pilo. of Savannah Pilots Association and Executive Board of Boy
Sccuts and Past President of Local Board of Boy Ecouts,
Captian Spencer is a man that can be counted upon to do his
part to further the growth and development of Savannah and has
done much in organizing and developing of local Boy Scouts of
Amer.ca. He is a man broad of vision, forceful and energet ¢, and
he has done much in the handling of the problems that confront the
enterprises of which he is an executive,
There are many baffling problems to confront him each day and
all of these are minor problems to Cap'ain Spencer for he kiows his |
State and he knows his people and he understands’his work better
than any other man who has ever held such similar positions. !
We take great pride in complimenting Capta n Spencer and we
look forward to seeing hiwm advance to even greater heights in the
years to come. i

‘ We carry a number of business leaders and individuals in the
“Facts Not Fiction’* column ot today’s issue. We wish to present
}tu our readers of The Journal the accomplishments of Mr. W. L.
lMingledurfl' President of Savannah Machine and Foundry Company
Jocated at 632 Indian Street, Savannah.
Mr. Mingledorff is one o the most outstanding business men and
leaders of Savannah and it is with this thought in wind that the
‘writer gives honorable recognition to Mr. Mingledorff for the splen
'did service he has been offering the public of Savanuah and her
great trade area. Mr. Mingledorff has played an important part in
‘the development and growth of Savannah,
Mr. W. 1,. Mingledorff is one whose word can be counted upon
to carry out the most difficult and trying problems in the dutiosji
connected with his firm. The citizens of Savannah are fortunate in
haying in their midst an outstanding firm as the Savannah Mac!liue!
and Foundry Company.

Among the business personalities of Savannah, who are entitied
to honorable mention in the columns of today's issue is none other
than John P. Stevens, President of Stevens Shipping Company,
President of Manufacturer Service Company, and President South
Atlantic Maritime Corporation.
Mr. Stevens has been actively engaged in the business affairs of
these enterprises and his value to these firms caunot be overestimat
ed. He is one of the South’s most prominent business Jeaders.
Mr Stevens understands the Shipping and Manufacturing busi
ness from A. to Z and his knowledge from years of expeiience ha.
made he and his firms a valuable asset to the city of Savannah and
the State of Georgia. He is a member of various organizations
which have been a great benefactor to the welfare of Savannah and
his word has met only continued success to these firms.
The position as president of these important firms is one of res
ponsibility as it requires a type of citizen who has knowledge and
experience. It is John P. Stevens who so capably holds this im
portant post so saccessfully. Itis with this thought in mind in
which the compiler of these facts wishes to express his candid opin
ion of the business and professional leaders who have actually gained
in the business world of accomplishments.
It is only such men as John P. Stevens who are entitled to re
cognition and the writer wishes to congratulate him upon his success
in the business world of accomrlishments,

Baptist Church Notes
Arthur Harrison
. If the Lord wills, we shall hold
our regular services on Sunday.
Since there were five Sundays in
March, it seems a long time since
our revival meeting closed, and
we shall want to meet together in
public worship on the coming
Lord’s Day. May it prove to be
a day of blessing and helpfulness
to all. The pastor will preach on
the subjects. ''He that winneth
Souls"’ in the morning, ard “Only
One Master'’ at night. The ordi
nance of baptism will be adminis
tered at the close of the night
service, which will begin at 8:00
o’clock. We trust that our mem
bers and friends will make an ef
fort to be at the services, and that
the revival fire will go through our
hearts. :
Pray for the services; pray for
all the services throuhout the en-?
tire world that shall be held in the
Name of Jesus; for every Chris
tian worker in every land; for all}
who share with us the privilege of
being ‘‘Children o the Heavenly
King''. We should do all in our
power to strengthen the bond that
unites us. ILet us think much of
it; let us think, speak, and act as‘i
being members of the great Fam-‘
ily of God
Perhaps we do not apprc('iate‘
as we should what it means.to be
long to that family. It may be
we are neglecting to do our part
in the interests of oiur Brothers
and Sisters in Christ. Are wui
trying to maintain a family spirit?]
a spirit of harmony and love and?
good will Have we the mind of
the Master? Do we seek Hs
honor and glory and do we wili
;ingly accept His authoritv? Are
we glad to do as’ He says? May
God help us as we seelofor s mere
felial attitude .towards Him, and
towards those who are His; and
‘may we seek the lost and try to
