A copy of a resolution advocating the
establishment Of such q committee
adopted yesterday will be sent to the
governor, lieutenant governor and ev-
cry member of the legislature.
The following resolutions were un-
animously adopted by the convention:
Whereas. the establishment of asso-

our association as a whole and mem
bers severally, be 1t
Resolved, That we hereby indorse
this action of our officials and instruct
them to maintain such thereafter.
THAT we re-af'irm our opposition to
the so-called priceless contracts for
binding twine and other commodities
handled by our members, as unfair to
the purchasers and in the interest of
the seller only, and thus becomes a
violation of trade ethics and tends to
thWart competition, therefore it is the
sense of this convention that our
members refrain from signing such
contracts in the future.
That we find altho the year has
been the most disastrous in our exper-
fence in fire losses, our insurance de-
partment has met every obligation
faithfully and is solvent, sound and
safe, and has the approval Of the state
insurance officials.
I'VE are opposed to the sale Of i'm
plements and vehicles to consumers al
the state fair unless such goods are
shipped thru some local dealer in the
vicinity where such implements and
vehicles are delivered
ut is the sense Of this convention
that the sale of binder Irvine which Isl

I'VE as an organization view with

damage to goods in transit, and WE
caution our constituency to be on guard
in presenting such claims before THE
four months time limit has expired
we commend the recommendation
of President W. D. Hoyt in his annual
report relative to good roads, and h
is the sense of this convention THAT
state and national aid should be eth :

The Gulf Beach.
Docks, Bath Houses, Etc.

1t is already very evident that about
every one who visits this bay desires
to go to the gulf beach and take a
! dip in the surf. There is scarcely a
night but there are from one to five
boat loads ofpeople going there, even
now, and when the trains begin to
bring in those who come here almost
solely to enjoy the water, and the
bathing, this number will be greatly
increased.
1t has been suggested that a small
landing dock should be built on the
inside Of Lands End, and also one on
the inside of Hurricane island. Such
docks would cost but little, and would
greatly facilitate the landing of
parties on the gulf beach. The water
is that deep close to the shore that
but little would be required in the
way of piling, and the greatest item
would be the work Of building the
docks.
In addition to this it has been sug-
gested that pavilion there, where
parties could hold entertainments if
desired, and which would be shelter
in case of rain, accompanied by a
cold drink stand, with ice cream when
there were extra gatherings, would
be profitable to the party who would
furnish such refreshments &C., and
would be well patronized by the many
going out there.
In connection with this there should
be sufficient bath houses to accom-
modate the crowds, and a sufficient
number of bathing suits to rent, to
care for those who will always be
going out not furnished with such
necessaries.
This proposition is well worth the
attention of some one who has the
requisite push and energy to success
fully carry out such !. project. 1t can
be made to pay we6, and if party
would give good service, they could
keep the business in their own hands
for a long time to come.
