ports of Treasurer Cabanss and Score
tary Hillyer will then be heard after
which will come an address son "Intem-

lessons CLEANED therefrOm," after which
Mr.. G. Gunby Jordan of Columbus will
discuss the question, Are we ready for
state bank issues?" Mr.. Jordan will be
remembered as having made one OF the
strongest and most important addresses
delivered on the occasion of the meeting
of the convention here last June.
Mr.. j. w. Cabanlss is down for an ad-
dress on similar line, his subject being
Is the repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on
state bank circulation desirable?" The
state bank question is attracting consid-
cradle attention from the Georgia finan-
ciers, and the convention will no doubt
attract some attention on this account
1t will be remembered that the delegates
from Savannah to the sound money con-
vention at Memphis agitated the state
bank question and tried to have a strong
resolution on the subject passed
After the first days work of the con-
Vention the members of the association
will be rendered a drive over the system
OF she'll roads around Brunswick by the
clearing house association of that city.
The second days session will begin
Thursday at 10 o'clock in the morning,
and will open with a general discussion
and miscellaneous business. Whatever
resolutions on the financial questions that
may be offered will be considered at this
time. There is little doubt that the Geor-
gia bankers will discuss the financial is
sues and adopt some resolutions in that
connection. The Savannah bankers are
of the opinion that the resolutions will be
strong ones, and right in line with
sound money ideas.
The concluding business of the session
will be the selection of the next place of
meeting, and the election of officers for
the coming year. The executive council
will hold meeting Immediately after ad-
journment to discuss its business for the
coming year. In the afternoon the
Brunswick Clearing House Assoeiat ton
will tender to the members and guests of
the association an excursion around the
harbor, and in the evening a banquet will
be held at the St. Simons hotel, on St.
Simons Island.
The convention is viewed with some inn
portance by the bankers of Savannah.
Especially is this the case on account of
the agitation of financial questions all
over the country and any action by the
convention will be given more attention
than would otherwise be the case.
