In Greene county every month and sold
In the clt-es of the state. Ol. Bark sail
that no section of the state was better
fitted for the dairying Industry than
Gteenc.Concluding his remarks, he nsk-
o<l that Greene county he placed on the
list for IIOO.
Judge C. P. Goodyear of Brunswick
followed Col. Bark. He made a most
Impressive speech nnd commanded
good attention. He said:
Where should the call so appropri
ately come for organization for a
Greater Georgia ns from this, the cap
ital city of our great state?
Capital not only by virtue of the law,
but by the nobler claim of leadership
In every effort for the general welfare.
And what Institution could more ap
propriately voice Hint call than the
Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta, ol- (
nays In the front rank of every effort - Into shnj
for Industrial development? ' It 'lH
To me It l* an Inspiration to walk
Atlanta's streets, to breathe Atlanta
air, to feel the thrill of that uncon
querable energy, to which Atlanta's
growth, north, south, east, west and
skywards. Is due.
An Inspiration to more earnest work
for that Greater Georgia -you are here
to build tipon the foundations of earn- J
est faith and faithful work.
An<l who can forget that as this great
city has grown front the ashes of war
and deputation to beauty, ami strength
and power, the Christian, graces have
bloomed In a love as broad as bu- ;
manky.
Not we at least of Brunswick, who
will always remember how when our
great trnuhle came, unmindful of peril
to yourselvew. you opened your city's
gates, your henrtH and homes an J
turned your clt.v Into a hospital and
lty of refuge, and from your abund
ance sent help and polnce and comfort
those who remained to fight tl. • pes
tilence. We have adopted sanitary
measures which render such help un
necessary for the future, which will
prevent such epidemics.
But l bring from Brunswick our mes
sage of undying love and gratitude.
How the clarion call to this Conven
tion should thrill every Georgian'^
heart and cons*»crnte to higher. ,n< b’er,
more persistent effort for* Greater
Georgia. ,
And how shall Greater Georgia be
achieved? Never by folded hands,
nk faith or Inglorious contentment
'Unite or die'' speaks a great truth
that In union there is strength, hut mav
not wisely coin In the present
«es of material develpoment another Dublin
motto. "Diversify or fall?" ,l ’"'
Diversify our agriculture- diversify '
ir industries. Tin :n
Add the lnrgest possible Increment of n
Georgia labor and Georgia thought
material before we ship It
the markets of the world.
Invite a h*althy Immigration to tDl
our fields, work our mines and t\u ir-
rloB and manufacture our rnw tnu'e.
rial". Discourage emigration bv mak
ing Georgia so attractive a field of ef
fort that no Georgian will want to peek
other fields.
Amend our law*, even If need he. to
the calling of a constitutional rnmep.
tlon and strike the shackles and limi
tations of human effort nnd human
progress from our constitution nnd our
statutes and re-establish home rule f r
Georgia.
We have a problem In the yellow- p'oe
belt of Georgia growing more urgmt
each year- a problem Intimately Inter
woven In all calculations for Greater
Georgia.
From our ports 500,000.000 feet of
timber nnd lumber Is shipped •>vciv
year, and each year 170,(Wi acres >f
\ellow pine lands are denuded of their
forest growth. What to do with th«‘ v *'
lands is .* problem worthy of th«- Led
thought nnd effort of every patriotic
cltlsen.
