Washington, Nov. It.—The governors
of the states and territories of the
United States have been Invited by
President Roosevelt to meet with him
at the white house May 13, 14 and 15,
next, to talk over the question of means
to, conserve tha natural resources of
the country.
The Invitation and letter have been
mode public at the executive man
*lon. In which the president say*, that
It seems time for the country to take
account of the natural resources and
to Investigate the volume of the store
J et to be drawn from. He says It Is
ust as Important for posterity to be
prosperous os It la for the present pop
ulation.
In closing the letter he says:
"In an open discussion I shall Invite
a few recognized authorities to present
brief descriptions of actual facta and
conditions, without argument, leaving
ths conference to deal with each topic
as It may elect. The members of th.
Inland waterways commission will be
present In order to share with me the
benefit of Information and suggestion,
and. If desired, to set forth their pro

"Facts, which 1 can not gainsay,
force me to believe that the'conserva
tion of our natural resources Is the
most weighty question now before the
people of the United States. If this
Is so, the proposed conference, which
Is the first of Its kind, will bo ntnong
the most Important gatherings In our

Broughton Tabernacle Insti

At the Baptist convention In. Val
dosta this week an effort will be made
to Join the work of the Broughton
Tabernacle Infirmary In Atlanta with
the state work of the church. Thnt
there Is need of a community of Inter
ests nnd a practicable method of Join
ing the work of the Infirmary Is shown
In the fact that while the Baptists have
high schools und colleges, orphans'
homes and other Institutions, they have
no state Infirmary, where the sick mnj
be cared for. It Is believed that a plan
will be devised by which the tabernacle
can hold a controlling Interest In the
Institution, with autborlty over Its
management, while the church at large
may be Interested.
Among the Atlanta pastors who will
attend the conference are: Dr. \V. W.

Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 18,—This aft
ernoon at 3 o’clock Representative Bal
lard's bill, calling for an amendment to
the constitution for prohibition,
come up for a hearing before the house
and tomorrow at noon the general pro
hibition bill, which passed the house,
will come up before the senate for pasB.
age. Both bills are expected to pass,
but the Ballard bill will have a hard
fight to get through. The temperance
people have gotten control of both
houses nnd are going to push their
advantage. It Is expected the Ballard
bill will draw another large number of
ri.ltors to the gallery, tut will the house
general prohibition bill In the senate.
There Is n strong fight being made In
the senate on the prohibition blit,
peclally by the Mobile people. An ef
fort Is notv being made to have the bill
amended to go Into effect In 1810, but It
Is not expected this will pass. There
Is another amendment calling off all
elections ordered after December 13,
but It ,1s Said this amendment may af
fect the constitutionality of the bill nnd
It may bo killed.
The women of Mobile have taken n
hand In the fight and a monster poll-'
tlon has been received - here asking that
the hill be amended to go into effect
In 1010. Mobile Is the only county In
the stnto which docs not pay any li
cense money to the state which It re
ceive* from the sols of liquor, and this
money Is used for school purposes.
Montgomery. Birmingham. Anniston.
Selma and other cities have to pay tills
money to do the same thing. This Is an
-dd fight brought up again.
When the bill comes up In the sen
ate tomorrow there will be delegations
from Birmingham, Opelika, Mobile and
other cltlea.
By Tueeday afternoon It Is expected
the senate will take final action and
the people of the state will then know
whether or not It Win go dr)' on October
