AS SPEAKER OF HOUSE

ATLANTA, August Ia. -Ths
1919 Georgia legislature is thing
of the past, but it passed a number
of measures of vital Importance to
the state. When Hon. John N.

as speaker of the House he eguallcd
in length of service the record OF
the late United States Senator A. o.
Bacon, who occupied Che speakers
chair for eight years. Mr.. Holder
has served seven years, and at the
end of the legislative session in 1929
at which time his term expires. he
will have rounded eight years in
the speakership. Lawmakers with
out exception, say they have mover
known a fairer or more impartial
presiding officer than John Holder
Not only is he accomplished IN par
liamentary law, an addriot diplomat
and maintains himself with dignity
and calm, but no presiding officer
has been more just and courteous TO
the members. Mr.. Holder is a pros
pective candidate for governor and
his friends look for his formal an
nouncement l. the near future.

MAY DECLINE
APPOINTMENT
Large Interests Are De
manding Increasing
Attention

L. G. Council, of Americus, has
been asked to act as head of the
Georgia organization committee of
the South Atlantic Export company
in presenting the plan and scope of
the organization to the people of
Sumter county and this section, but
in conversation with a Times-Re-
corder representative today indicat-
ed he would not be able to accept
the place Large individual business
interests here are now demanding
practically all of his time, Mr.. Coun-
Gil said, and it was with regret that
he would be unable to serve as re-
requested.
Since the recent assurances from
the Railroad Administration and the
Shipping Board that ports like Will
mington, Savannah, Brunswick and
Jacksonville shall be given fair deal
as those of the North Atlantic n
way of both freight rates from the
interior and ocean rates to Latin, Am
erica a new and wonderfully widen
ed prospect for commercial enrich
ment has opened for the Southeast.
1t is proposed that the four states
of Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Florida, acting through
their leading business men, and with
the endorsement and cooperation of
their public official and commercial
organizations, should form a quasi
public company, whose directors
shall regard themselves as trustees
establish an efficient business organ
ization to promote the foreign trade
of these four states.
Organization plans have been al
ready completed in three states,
leaving only Georgia to complete its
organization. Several Georgia cit
les have organized and others are
expected to organize within the next
week or ten days The southern
headquarters are in Atlanta.
The government has allocated nine
steel constructed vessels to the
southeastern ports, with more to fol-
low in the fall The freight rate
barrier has been removed by revis-
ion of rates. Banking connections
have been established which assure
the shippers immediate payment for
his goods by trade acceptance. Trade
representatives have been appointed
in South America. Cargoes are
ready for shipment.
AS a Southern company, the export
organization will, according to bust
ness men, prove as profitable for its
stockholders as the Northern export
companies have proved to stheir
stockholders.
1t will be of benefit to the export
ers and importers of the Southeast
bv furnishing to them information
regarding foreign markets; by estab-
fishing for them foreign credits; by
actually selling their products in for
eign markets; by handling the goods
bought and sold, and by attending
to the innumerable complicated de-
tails of the export and import busi-
ness. ~. MI
