Announcement was made during the
past week of an important change IN
southern newspaper circles. w. G. Bry-
an, publisher OF the Atlanta Georgian,
has been promoted to publisher OF the
New York American, Mr.. Hearst's great
est newspaper, and T. Buford Goodwin,
well-known newspaper man of Birming-
ham, becomes publisher Of the Atlanta
Georgian to succeed Mr.. Bryan.
In announcing the change the Atlanta
Georgian says:
This announcement will greatly inter
est Atlantans and southerners generally.
in that it involves two men who have
been closely identified with southern
journalism for number of years, both
of whom are well and widely known and
highly esteemed in newspaper circles.
Mr.. Bryan, native of Missouri and
the son of Confederate soldier. started
his career in the newspaper world as
the editor of small daily in Fulton,
Mo.
| Last year Mr.. Bryan acted as one
! of the directors of the Southern News
paper Publishers association, and for
| three years has been chairman of the
advertising committee of the same. For
the past year he has been president of
the newspaper department of the Asso-
| cated Advertising Clubs of the World,
and in that capacity will attend as the
representative Of the Hearst newspapers
in the south, the forthcoming great con-
, evntion in New Orleans.
I'm assuming charge Of the Georgian
and Sunday American, Buford Goodwin
| is in a way returning to his first loXe.'
| He came to Atlanta in 1900 from his
home in Nashville, Tenn, and served for
a year as reporter the Atlanta
/ Journal and later was news editor of the
Atlanta News. When the Georgian was
originally established, some IL years ago,
| Mr.. Goodwin became its first managing
| editor. He assisted largely in organic
| ing the venture and assembling the plant
| and staff, and later became general
| purchased the Georgian, Mr.. Goodwin
| was associated with the property for a
few months, leaving Atlanta in 1912 to
go to Birmingham. After serving there
for a time, Mr.. Goodwin accepted re-
sponsible executive position with the
New Orleans States, and subsequently
managed for several years the Shreve-
port Times under the same ownership
as the States.
I'm these two positions Dir. Goodwin
| demonstrated anew his executive abili-
ties and powers, and when he left the
Shreveport paper it was to return to
New Orleans as general ma nager of the
States, where he remained until ne ac-
cepted like connection in Birmingham. ;"

Scion Jacobs. Morris stated at the
Rotary meeting here, however, thai
before reporting for service, both he

what is bothering me is to know
whether they bided their time until the
minions of the law laid down their

offered to raid a tiger or Whether
