LAWYERS AT WARM SPRINGS.
Georgia Bar Association to Meet
There Early in July.


The annual meeting of the Georgia Bar
Association will be held at Warm Springs,
on July 3. and .. A number of the men,
bers of the Savannah bar will doubtless
attend the gathering which includes al
ways the leaders OF Sthe profession
throughout the state.r
1t is too early yet to predict with ac
curacy just which of the members of the
bar here will find it possible, a month
hence, to attend at Warm Springs. Mr..
Pope Barrow said yesterday he thought
1t altogether probable he would go, and
others of the bar have expressed similar
intentions. The celebration of the centen-
NAL anniversary of the foundation of the
University of Georgia takes place only
two weeks before the meeting of the Bar
Association, and as most of the leading
members of the bar here took either an
academic or professional course at the
university and hold its interests very
close to their hearts, most of them want
to go to Athens. This may prevent their
being at Warm Springs two weeks later.
For the meeting of the Bar Association
an interesting programme has been pre-
pared. During the three days the sessions
will continue papers will be read or ad-
dresses delivered as follows
