Triton, Ca, July 26.-It Is very
probable that a meeting of the Geor-

be called for some time in August,
probably between the 10th and 25th.
At the last meeting of the Asso-
citation, held at Atlantic Beach, the
date of the next regular meeting was
fixed for Sept. 10 at Jacksonville,
but since then the condition Of the
lumber market has been such that
the mill men are sure it will be nee
essary to hold a meeting earlier than
the second week In September.
The sawmills of Georgia and Flor
ida will nearly ali be closed down
during August and the mills in North
and South Carolina and many other
southern states will follow this e1-
ample. This Is almost certain to
bring about a condition Of affairs that
