ments for Annual Convention.
The annual convention of the Geor-
gia Division of the Travelling Protec-
tive Association, to be held in Atlanta,
April H. IS and 10, one week earlier
than The date originally selected, will
be attended by large delegation from
Savannah.
If satisfactory arrangements can be
made with the railroads Post A viii
carry a large delegation and viii prob
ably make the trip on a special train.
1t Is expected that the special viii
leave Savannah on the night of April
16. Mr.. r. /. Wylly of Savannah is
now the state president and the mem
bers of Post A hope to see him re-
elected.
During his term in office the mem
bership of the association has shown
a great increase. Because of his untir-
ing and energetic efforts the state or
ganization has a membership of near
ly a thousand. The members of Post
A are endeaYoring to get enough new
members before the convention to
reach the 1000 mark, and hope to be
successful.
Post A will hold a meeting to-mor-
row in the parlors of the Screven
House, and at that time the trip to
Atlanta will be discussed. During the
last sixty days the membership of the
Post has increased go per cent, and
it is in a fiourishing condition. Mr.
Max Krauss and Mr.. Joseph Loven-
stein, former presidents, and Mr. A
W. MOorehouse. the new president
have displayed much energy in an eff

Savannah post.
Mr.. LOvenstein and Mr. Krauss are
the two oldest travelling men out of
this city. They have been on the road
with Savannah as he9dqua rters for 25
years, Mr.. LoVenstein having been for
that space of time connected with a
single firm.
II has been an inflexible rule of the
association to have no political af-
filiations, but the Savannah travelling
men are taking an active interest in
the campaign for the governorship
The talk we hear in the country is
very gratifying to us" said an officer
of Post A in discussing the political
situation. I'VE hear Col. Estill praised
on every side, and if it were left to the
drummers of Georgia he would be
elected handsdOwn tomorrow. No one
realizes more than the travelling man
the necessity at this time for a business
governor, and every body agrees that
Col. Estill will fit the bill like a glove.
while we never take a hand in pol
itics we are doing all in our power to
further the interests of Col. Estill
This post owes it to him, to the city
of Savannah and to the state, to take
an active interest in the race for the
governorship, and suitable action will
be taken at a meeting of the post TO
be held in the near future. We want
for our next Governor a business man,
and so do our customers, and those in
the rural districts who live by the
sweat of their brow
