Atlanta Evening News January 8, 1907
Tonight, beginning promptly at 7 o'clock, the annual dinner at the Atlanta 
Freight Bureau will occur at the Piedmont hotel and the affair is expected to 
be one of the most enjoyable and memorable that was ever held in this city.
The dinner is to be entirely informal, evening dress being tabooed and every 
one will be expected to wear business suits exclusively.  It is announced that 
the dinner will begin at 7 o'clock sharp, devoted to a short business session, 
during which nineteen directors will be elected for the year 1907.  It is 
believed that there will be very few changes on the new board, as most of those 
now members will probably stand for re-election.  The directors will meet later 
in the week and choose the annual officers of the bureau.
Hon. Sam D. Jones, president of the bureau, will make a short address, after 
which H. B. Wey, treasurer, and H. T. Moore, secretary and traffic manager, 
will make annual reports to the bureau.  Following this the election of 
directors will occur and then the 250 or 300 members of the bureau and their 
guests will open up on the course dinner.  After the dinner cigars will be 
passed and the following addresses will be heard:
Hon. S. G. McLendon, of Thomasville, railroad commissioner-elect, will speak 
on "Rates and Rate Levels."  He will be followed by Hon. Hoke Smith, governor-
elect, whose address will be on "Transportation Problems."  Hon. Hooper 
Alexander, representative of DeKalb county, will speak on "The Extension of the 
Western and Atlantic to the Sea."
