BRUNSWICK HAS a land¬ locked HARBOR, THE BEST ON THE SOUTH ATLANTIC COAST......... XXIII. No. 17. FORESTRY HEADS TOMAKESEVERAL ADDRESSES HERE President Bonnell H. Stone, Georgia Forestry Associa* tion, to be Here WILL TALK BEFORE YOUNG MEN’S CLUB AND ALSO “Y” And a General Meeting Will be Held in the Oglethorpe Hotel Tomorrow Evening at Eight O’clock. Brunswick will have as its guests tomorrow Bonnell H. Stone, president of the Georgia Forestry Association; M. G. Spahr, secretary, and C. B. Har¬ mon, secretary, who are making a trip to the most important Georgia cities, where they are working up interest not only coming convention of the association to be he'd in Sa¬ vannah next January, but are con¬ ducting an educational campaign in conservation and reforestation throughout the state. These distinguished visitors will be guests of the Young Men’s Club at their weekly luncheon tomorrow, and 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 meeting of Brunswick citizens to be held in the ball room of the Ogle¬ thorpe hotel tomorrow, Friday, eve¬ ning at 8 o’clock. This meeting be held under the auspices of the Glynn County Forestry Association, of which A. V. Wood is president, and the Board of Trade is working U P interest in the meeting, as well as is the Womans Club. Mrs. T. \. lard, president ot the latter orgam zihion urges all women of the city to attend, as the club is vitally ,nter esttn in the matter of the tion and conservation oi Geoigia For es ^ 8, 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. j MEMBERS OF COTTON ASSOCIATION MEET IN COLUMBUS OCT. 16 (By Associated Press.) Columbia, S.
