Claiming the Altamaha river sys¬ tem to be the greatest undeveloped resource in the state of Georgia, prin¬ cipally because there has never been sufficient Federal aid to make the river entirely navigable, delegates from practically every county border¬ ing on the entire system met in this city yesterday, formed a permanent organization, appointed various com¬ mittees, mapped out a line of work ami all pledged to make a campaign for appropriations sufficient to make the fresh water system the Mississip¬ pi of the South. The convention was called to ‘ , who in a neat and cordial ad • extended the delegates and vis ' itorsUffe .. $he A._ cify an open-haiKled hos¬ Kiw. pitality. Mhyoh' McKinnon poinitkl out the wonderful results that would follow the development of the rivers tributary to Brunswick and express ed his own pleasure at having- within ! the confines of the city so many dis tinguished Georgians who were inter- * j ested in the great movement. 1 The invocation was askeiT by Rev. T. IL’ Thomson, of the First Metho -dist church, after which Judge J, E Burch, of Dublin, was made tempor 7 ary chairman. Judge Burch, in ac¬ cepting the gavel, made a very at¬ tractive little talk. He thanked the convention for the honor conferred and during the entire meeting he pre¬ sided with easy grace and dignity. The .first speaker on the program, whose address was the feature of the morning”session, was Senator Walter F. George, who declared in the outset that unless there was more organi¬ zation ami cooperation along indus¬ trial HimUuraf lines in the state of Georgia ag- 1 comlitions woulii sink down ‘ to the levels of European peasantry. It-was stressed by the Senator that not only should Georgia care for its natural resources in agriculture but that every other available resource should be'utilized to't|ie best advan¬ tage. 1 In this connection he put par¬ ticular emphasis on conditioning the rivers of the state, especially the Oco¬ nee, Ocmulgee and Altamaha com¬ posing the Altamaha reiterated system. his state¬ Senator George of the ment 'made at a recent meeting Macon Chamber of ,Commerce relative to the development of adequate pow¬ er in the state-and cooperative mar¬ keting. He declared that under pres enUcoruIitions there is little to induce farmers in'Georgia to continue then chosen occupation being forced to ship larger portion of the products to far a losing practi¬ distant points, thereby cally all of the profit from their la¬ bors. To avoid this method;of han¬ dling their foodstuff and getting them to market Senator Ueiu’ge proposed that there be established a co-opera¬ tive marketing bureau between the farmers and city business and com¬ mercial organizations. To do this wquld require little effort, the Sen¬ ator pointed out, while the beneficial results from such a system would be manifold. declared that the con The Senator movement a.«s would support any water fcP the development of the ways if the project was established as a worthy undertaking, He urged those in attendance upon the conven¬ tion to put their energy,, their time and their money behind the project, thereby assuring the government of o-ood faith adding to the possibilities for the successful completion of the waterways development so greatty desired and needed. The Senator was loudly applauded throughout, his ad- THE BRUNSWICK NEWS THE NEWS IS A MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS dress. Charles J. Harlen, of Atlanta, one of the livest wires in Georgia and a mar, who has made a study of the transportation generally in the south¬ east, was the next speaker. Mr. Ha don at once caught the attention of the convention and especially of the Brunswick delegates when he quoted from a remark made by Gen. William Thomas, thirty-two years ago, that Brunswick would in time become the greatest seaport .south of Baltimore. He then stressed the many advan¬ tages to back up the prediction that unity of action in all of the section traversed by the three rivers should mark every step of the work up to its final completion. So far as Bruns¬ wick was concerned lie declared with¬ out equivocation that he believed it j to be cue of the greatest assets in the t state of Georgia—a port without an j equal on any coast. J.! Commissioner of Agriculture .J. Brown followed Mr. TIaden in a very ! happy talk that covered many sub-', jeets. The commissioner showed that farmers°ffi 0 Georgia, t?TncSug j a real orator. This is a new role for ; ihe commissioner in Brunswick, and to many oi his closest friends ,t came . m the nature of a surprise. Mr. Brown pointed out the wonder- ; ful advantages that would ensue to a large section of the state of Georgia in the development of the Altamaha, the Ocmulgee and the Oconee rivers. ; He stressed develop the fact along that agricultur- Georgia | i could never al lines as she should until these riv er systems are utilized and until they j are made to play their part in the im »■* Commissioner Brown, by virtue of his office, is also commissioner of | immigration, pointed out. the fact was iiU%iti»f’i:'eV-iHR-i’rom an exodus of negro labor into other industrial sections of the country. He thought some remedy ought to be had and suggested that labor be .ra¬ ported to take the place ot the ne groes iiMionn whom n-l-ir\VVl he said e'Ull were leaving IPflVlTl* J their native homes 1 for new and undis-1 covered Other lands. and interesting talks j were 1 made during the morning and after-j noo risession by the following. Hon. the j R. Lee Moore, congressman from j First district, who pledged his aid to I the movement, and. who stated that j he was really outside the Altamaha j system and that he had come to the i meeting to learn rather than how-j talk, i He made an interesting address, ever, touching uuon a large number j of important matters. ! W, W. Proctor, r, secretary secretary 01 of the me ! j Dublin Board fifteen of Trade, minutes, talked urged inter-; ‘ esting’ly for and pledged coopecation from his qjc- I j tion and believed that the time had come for practical work, rather than j idealistic talk. Mr. Proctor showed that he was a close student of the j transportation question and made an ; interesting talk. E. B. Weatherly, of Macon, was the next speaker. He was interest¬ ing in detailing the new and tremen¬ dous two million dollar plant being built near Macon by the Southern Portland Cement company. He said this plant would manufacture three ; thousand barrels of cement per day j and that if proper arfiangements : could he made with the Atlantic Re fining company at Brunswick they j proposed to use oil for fuel purposes., He showed that the freights alone; for the transportation of the pro¬ ducts of this plant would amount to more thpn five hundred dollars pet day, Mr. Weatherly is a great be¬ liever in the river system and is go¬ ing to be a Hve wire worker for it. Gen. Edgar Jadwin, corps U. S. en¬ gineers, speedily made friends with his audience when he told them he had been to Brunswick three times before and on one occasion as a par- j ty of army officers had the pleasure of recommending Brunswick for a United States camp site. He made a splendid talk aim among other things said that the dredge Savannah, now working in Brunswick harbor, had broken all records in its work here in the past three months in the mat ter of yardage. He spoke encourag ingly of the river system and believed it was feasible and possible. j j Oflicers Elected Officers elected by the association" for the ensuing year are: President, George H.
