CLYDE OFFICIALS
GOME TOMORROW
General Manager Raymond and
Traffic Manager Lewis, of
This Line, Will Reach Here
For Conference as to Line’s
Future Here.
General Manager H. H. Raymond, of
the ( Clyde Steamship company, New
York, acompanied by Traffic Manager
Levis, will reach the city tomorrow
and will likely spend several days
here. They will probably be met here
by Capt. W. M. Tapper, southern rep
resentative of the line, with head
quarters at Jacksonville. These offi
cials are coming to Brunswick for the
purpose of conferring with business
men about the future of the line as re
gards the port of Brunswick.
Practically every business m.in and
citizen is familiar with the Clyde Line
matter, but for the benefit of those
wh.:: are not, it may be stated that the
Line has operated to and from this
port at o loss for many months and
some time ago a statement was given
out from the general offices of the
company, in New York, that this
wtculd be discontinued as a port of
cali, inasmuch os it Is the only ocean
route frpm Brunswick. Its discontinu
ance carried with It Incalculable loss,
not only to thp port of Brunswick, but
to various points In the interior. The
Beard 0 Trade agd other organiza
tions of# commercial nature.^ got busy
Clyde management to hold qp'the dis
continuance order for a time.
One thing developed and it was of a
forcible nature—ln order to maintain
ships to Brunswick, cargoes had to be
secured and It was on this idea that
citizens of Brunswick started- A visit
was made to Atlanta and the results
have been made known from time to
time, Suffice to say. the delegation
which* went to Atlanta, returned, well
satisfied with the ontlook for secur
ing the cooperation and support of At
lanta merchants and manufacturers
In the ecort to hold the line to this
port. 'i
Messrs. Raymond and Levi* will be
given a cordial welcome tomorrow and
they will be convinced that Brunswick
really dan add will support the line If
1( la given a fair chance to do so. Mr.
Raymond was for many years a resi
dent of Brunswick and has always felt
a kindly Interest In her welfare and
that he will accede to any reasonable
request that may he made by the citi
zens. there Is no doubt.

METHODIST REVIVAL TO
CONTINUE THIS WEEK
Announcement haa been made that
the revival service*, which began at
the First Methodist church last Sun
day will continue this week. Rev. A.

tor.
Mr. Pierce is a convincing speaker,
with a dear, forceful style, and hia
gospel message* have made a pro
found impression. He is not sensa
tional. his appeals being made to tbe
judgment rather than the emotions.
The discourse Friday evening was
one of the strongest the evangelist
ha* yet brought. Selecting several
passages dealing with the exodus of
the Israelites as a text, he drew a
parallel between the efforts of Pha
roah and Satan to effect a compromise
on the part of the people of God.
When the Egyptian monarch saw that
he could not restrain the Hebrews, he
undertook to retain his hold upon
them in various ways, but Moses de
manded that they be permitted to go
unconditionally. In like manner, the
preacher declared, must we turn from
sin. Our business, our homes and all
that we are and have must be given to
God; nothing 1* to be kept back; no
compromise is to be made. In speak
ing of the borne, be deplored tbe fact
that Christian people often accept the
social standard* set by the devil, and
cuoteuded that these social standards
should be set and maintained by the
church.
