Might be Brought to Savannah by
Merchants Association.
The fact that the Tennessee Press
Association will hold it's annual meet
ing at Tybee this year, of which a no
tice appeared in yesterdays Morning
News. was commented on by a bust
ness man as showing what can be done
Gently appointed to further the in
terests of Savannah in the way of Sc
curing greater travel to this city, a
wider knowledge of the advantages of
Savannah and new industries
This gentlemen thinks it is quite
feasible plan for some of the commit
tees already appointed to secure a list
of such bodies as the press associa-
ton, send to the proper officer or Of
ficers of the organizations printed mat
ter and illustrations setting forth the
advantages Savannah offers for a trip
or place of meeting and pressing its
claims for consideration.
Another step in the same direction
would. be to notify the passenger de-
partments of the different roads en-
tering Savannah and who might be in
a position to handle. the delegates or
members of such meetings or organiza-
tions and have them work the bust
ness in the same way that they would
under ordinary circumstances, indie
pendent of the effort of the local peo-
pie. In this way, it is thought, that
meetings, conventions, and conferences
of all kinds could be secured, the more
readily as delegates can be amply ac-
commodated and besides because the
city offers exceptional advantages for
entertainment.

That it is greatly needed here is un-

opinions, all that Is needed to launch
the organization is for some one to
call meeting of citizens. This is
the idea of those who have thought
over the matter. but no one seems
willing to go ahead with the effort.
