MINUTES OF A CALLED SES
SION OF THE COFFEE COUN
TY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Tuesday evening, 8:30, July 6, 1926
there met in the City Hall of Broxton
several representative men and wo
men of the Central Organization of
the Coffee County Chamber of Com
merce to discuss the advisability of a
branch organization being established
in Broxton. Secretary John W. Greer
of Douglas called the meeting to or
der. Mr. J. H. Milhollin was elected
Chairman with Mrs. B. M. Poer Sec
retary protem. Mr. Greer stated the
object of the meeting. In a forceful
manner he reiterated the plans of the
Central Organization after which the
Junior Chambers of Commerce of Cof
fee County are to be fashioned. Simi
lar ones to be organized, in the near
future at Ambrose, Nicholls and West
Green. These branch organizations to
be on a much smaller scale, with such
committees, dues and other regulations
as each locality should demand. Sec
retary Greer stated also that he was
as much a member of these Junior
Organizations as the Central, and
stood ready at all times to lend his
aid. It was further brought out that
for the County to develop as it should
these smaller localities would have to
do their bit, which could be better ac
complished through the functionings
of the above described organizations.
Also these lesser organizations in any
undertaking would be assisted by the
Central Organization. The program,
which is made clear in a booklet by
Mr. Greer, entitled “Look Ahead”, and
other circulars will require five years
for its completion. The various com
mittees into which the five great topics
namely: Civics, Agriculture, Industry,
Transportation, and Commerce, are
subdivided, were then commented upon
by various men from Douglas. Mr.
Thomas Dixon of the Union Banking
Company, who has caught the idea of
the plan emphasized the need of bet
ter Schools, better educational sys
tem, also health plans. One half of
a Health Officers salary would be paid
by the U. S. We are the people to do,
the work, and if we study and carry
out the plans we will have a better
citizenship. Cooperation with the
Secretary was a necessity to put over
the best plan he knew. Col. Kelley,
President of the Coffee County Cham
ber of Commerce, stated that the need
was to get together and put over the
best plan that could be figured out.
People were backing up the plan,
branch organizations an excellent idea
as things would come up locally to be
put over. Col. Grantham Said he
would not reiterate the many excel
lent things about the plan. A cham
ber of commerce has been a long felt
need. This was a complete plan from
his viewpoint. He stressed his views
’on the Educational and Live Stock
Committees. County Demonstrator
Bussey stressed cooperation. He was
looking with pleasure to seeing it all
carried out. Did not lessen his work,
but made it more efficient. He is an
ex-officio member of all committees.
Mr. Milhollin asked what was the ob
ject to organize a Junior Chamber of
Commerce here? After which the
necessary plans for such an organiza
tion were stated by Secretary Greer,
the citizens of Broxton who were pres
ent being asked to stand who favored
the step were 100 per cent. Timely
remarks were then made by Mr. Mil
hollin and others. Mr. Milhollin then
appointed Mayor A. R. Lewis, C. F.
Chambliss, chm., and P. L. Moore to
retire and select a board of Directors
consisting of seven members. The fol
lowing were appointed who were to
meet at 3 p. m. July 7, 1926, to per
fect a Broxton Junior Chamber of
Commerce. Following are directors:
W. M. Cook, J. H. Milhollin, Mrs. J.
L. Sapp, Jim Traynham, E. L. Moore,
Mrs. Homer Ricketson, Mrs. A. R.
Lewis. The meeting adjourned.
