Brunswick will have as its guests
tomorrow Bonnell H. Stone, president
of the Georgia Forestry Association;

trip to the most important Georgia
cities, where they are working up

conservation and reforestation
throughout the state.
These distinguished visitors will be

will doubtless be called upon to speak
before this representative body of
citizens. In addition to this
a call has been issued for a mass

Mr. Leman, field representative of
tlie Rotary state club association, few weeks addressed ago, and *-J the u
a
Rotarians have already had a meet
ing devoted to this subject, at which
S. K. Brown outlined the value of the
work. Brunswick, having once been
the world s greatest crosstie centra,
and second port of the woild in the
lumber shipping industry, now
izcs what the loss of these great in
di,.-dries through the gradual exhaus¬
tion of South Georgia pine forests
ban meant to her, and is, in thorough
accord with the work of the state and
national associations.
Not only does the matter of con¬
servation and reforestation affect the
Ihmbcr, paper pulp, and other wood
industries, but it vitally concerns the
agricultural interests. It is a well
ljnojvn-fact that soil depletion, erosion
and 'barrenness follow in the wake of
a forest denudation, and it is recog¬
nized that' wood lots on .farms pro¬
vide a never failing source of income,
both direct)y and indirectly, to the
ownprs.
j Brunswick is so located with its
three trunk lines of railroads running
right back through the state of Geor¬
gia, that this port will be the direct
beneficiary of any movement to con¬
serve and reforest that portion of the
state which constitutes, according to
Mr. Stone, the very best timberland
in the South. The naval stores in¬
dustry, as well as the timber and ag¬
ricultural interests, are also direct
beneficiaries of the movement to con¬
serve and will reforest, be and hand their to lend repre¬ all
sentatives on
assistance possible to the educational
program that will be outlined.
The people of the state must realize
that the idea is not sentimental, but
amost; purely a commercial proposi¬
tion. The destruction of nature’s
monuments, man’s earliest temples,
works havoc when the natural laws
.follow,itheir ; destruction, not only
from the natural standpoint, but arti¬
ficially producing poverty all along
the line. It is. hoped that every inter¬
ested Brunswick citizen, man or wo¬
man, will endeavor to attend the
meeting tomorrow night at the' Ogle
and demonstrate not only
Brunswick's hospitality to the
guTlied visitors, but show the
est Brunswick always has in
and development along any line.

SEVEN CITIES BID
FOR DEMOCRATIC
I NATIONAL MEETING
|
Washington, Sept. 20.—Cities rep¬
resenting every section of the United
States are seeking the democratic na¬
tional convention next year. The
chief entries are: New York, Atlan¬
ta, Cleveland, Louisville, St. Louis,
Denver and San Francisco. New York
and San Francisco are most active,
but all of tlie cities named will pre¬
sent formal invitations when the
Democratic national committee meets
here in December to decide where the
convention shall be held.
New York is waging the hardest
fight and has the assistance of Nor¬
man E. Mack, of Buffalo, national
committeeman from New York, who
has considerable influence among the
Democratic powers. New York’s
claims are handicapped, however, be¬
cause oi the> probable candidacy of
Governor Al Smith. Backers of riv¬
als do not want to give him the ad
vantageof a nominating convention
ill his home town.
San Francisco made a highly favor¬
able impression by her generous hos¬
pitality in 1920, but the policy of the
national committee is to move the
convention each time. One of the
middle western cities stands the best
chance, as the Democratic campaign
will be directed with greatest intensi¬
ty on that section of the country.
Thought is being given also to a
radical change in locating campaign
headquarters. Heretofore the gen¬
eral headquarters in campaign' years
lias been at New York, but as the real
light is to be made in the middle
west next year, -opinion is growing'in
favor of moving the campaign office
to Chicago. A financial office would
be maintained in New York, and a
western office at San Francisco.
