THREE CITIES SEEK
GEORGIA EDITORS

1t is expected that spirited, but
friendly contest will ensue at the
annual session Of the Georgia Press
association in Washington next week
when Brunswick, Quitman and La
vonia present their claims for the
privilege of entertaining the asso-
citation in 1922. The three competing
cities are waging an active campaign
for support, and it must be the chief
regret Of the newspaper folk that
they cannot accept all invitations.
The Quitman board of trade the
Free Press, the Advertiser, the city
council, the board of commissioners
of Brooks county and all other or
CARNATIONS and many citizens of
prominence and influence are urging
the acceptance of Quitman's invita-
ton. The famous Brooks county
ham is being offered as special in
ducement but Secretary Shopper, of
the board Of trade is planning many
others.
The Brunswick Board of Trade,
The News, The Banner and various
organizations are cooperating in
VI oSeIl44lS the CldlLnS OIL BRUNSWICK,
boating, fishing and bathing being
among the number of pleasures men
toned, while others are being con-
templated.
Lavonia, the home of Editor Rush
Burton, of the Times and Gauge,
will make a strong fight for the
privilege of entertaining the conven-
ton. Editor Burton, has already IS
sued the allegation that more pretty
girls and chickens abide in Lavonia
than any other city of like size, and
that Franklin county watermelons
are the most delicious in the world.
1t is generally admitted that these
are important convention features.
The association convened in Bruins
wick in July, 1898, and in Quitman
in 1902. Lavonia has not entertain
ed any of the preceding thirty-four
sessions. Committees will be in
Washington next week to work for
their respective cities.
With the adjournment of the
Washington meeting next week it
will have been the third that has
been held north of Macon since the
Wrightsville session in 1918-Mon-
roe, Carrollton and Washington.
