had been done so far this year, and
that contemplated for the remainder of
the year. He advocated an Interest In
politics, to that extent which would In-
sure a proper administration ot the
city affairs.
Prssidtnt J. W. Pope.
Among the things he specified as
mattsrs In which the chamber should
take an active Interest were: To pre
vent a recurrence of scenes of a riot:
to persuade railroads to give tonnage
on greet commodttlee; to secure high-
class Immigration: a chamber of com
merce commercial exchange: plenty of
good public schools and parka
“We want good water, too." exclaim
ed President Pope.
“Nothing means more to the upbuild-
Ing of a city. Our waterworks should
be so managed that not even the whls-
ir of private ownership may be heard,
go many of our public utilities are
>w owned by private corporations."
At the conclusion of his address,
President Pope Introduced Mr. Finley,
•resident of the Southern, with a few
ttlng words.
President Finlay.
The applause was loud as the presi
dent of the great railroad, the speaker
of the occasion, arose to begin his ad
dress. Mr. frlnley read from manu
script, but there was a ring of sin
cerity to hts voice, and a business-like
strain to his language which compelled
attention and held Interest.
The frankness of the speaker, the
clear presentation of the facts of the
railroad problem an seen by him. a
railroad president: the straightforward,
sincere manner In which his plans and
policies were set forth, were nothing
short of amatlng to those who heard
him, and the applause which greeted
him. coming aa It did from business
men. wgs nothing short of remarkable.
Following this nddresn. L. A. Rnn-
anm, vice president of the Interstate
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association,
spoke In a happy vein of the work done
by the state association, and explained
that the brevity of Ills address was due
to the fart that he had been substituted
at the last moment for J. A. Aycock,
president of the state association, who
could not attend.
It was n little after tl o’clock, the
time set for adjournment, when Presi
dent Pone arose to dismiss the guests
As'he did so, there esuts-cries from all
sides of the house for "Graves!
Graves!" The toastmaster. tried Id
explain that the time for departing had
arrived, but the cries only Increased In
volume.
Colonel Graves Called.
Seeing the hopeleeenees of his posi
tion, President Pope, smiling, turned
and bowed to Colonel Graves.
"They will have nothing else but a
speech from you. colonel," said the
toastmaster, "and I take great pleasure
In Introducing you to your friends."
Colonel Graves explained that he waa
unprepared, staling that he had hoped
that this would be one occasion where
he could do the listening, and he had
congratulated himself on the realisa
tion of this hope, only to have to spsak
at the Inst moment.
Colonel Oraves regretted the absence
of the editors of The Georgian's two
contemporaries, and after a taw happy
words, launched Into a free and fear
less discussion of the railroad problem,
showing the attitude of the people of
Georgia, reciting the things they de
sired and emphasising the things they
