Fifth State Development Convention

The Executive Committee of the
State Development Association met in
Louisville Monday and set October 10,
II, and 18th, 1906 as the time of the
Fifth State Development Convention at
Winchester. Active preparations have
been begun in Winchester for the Con-
vention aud will be pushed from now
on until the meeting in October. 1t
promises to be the largest and most
important gathering of the year in the
state. A plan for permanent organ
ization will be presented to the Con-
vention for adoption, which it is be-
lieved will make the Association a
stronger organization and give it great
er power toward carrying out its OBJ
jects.
Kentucky is far behind what it can
be in its position as an industrial and
commercial state, its resources having
been neglected and its commercial and
manufacturing advantages overlooked.
The State Development movement
was started by business men with the
patriotic desire to see the State forge
ahead and grow to be among the first
Of states in her industrial Importance.
During the four years of its exis-
lance, the Association has done much
good along the line of advocating need
ed commercial legislation, and the
shaping Of policies that have helped
our manufacturing and other business
interests.
Much Of interest to the business peo-
pie Of the State will be discussed at
the Convention at Winchester, and
plans mapped out for its work. Speak
ers Of national reputation and special
lists on particular subjects of agricul-
ture, mining, manufacturing ETC., will
address the Convention.
Delegates to the Convention will be
named by the County Judge of each
county, mayor of each city, and by
each commercial club organization.
Anyone who wishes to attend the
Convention can be appointed a dele
gate direct upon application to the Sec
rotary Of the Convention. Last year
at Louisville about 500 delegates were
present, and some 60 counties of the
State represented by business men of
the county.
We hope that some Of the most ac-
tive and best business men Of this
county will go as delegates to the con-
vention, and win go prepred to thor
oughly present our resources. Indus
tries, products and &C, and 20 be able
to tell what we need in the way Of in
dustrial development and have to offer
to investors and prospective citizens.
These matters should be looked into
and a carefully prepared statement
made for use at the Convention.
Judge j. II. Denton, Of Winchester.
was elected Vice Chairman Of the ex-
ecutive Committee. and P. J. Altizer.
Of Winchester, is Secretary Of the
Convention.
