MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE ASKS LADIES TO HELP Newspaper Articles on Appalachian National Park Movement. The membership ccmnmittee of the Appalachian National Park association met yesterday mbmirug in the office of the chairman L. P. McLoud, to form ulate plans for securing new members of the association,. They decided to ask the mayors of the different towns for names of persons who might be came members. A resolution was passed to the effect that the ladies of the country who were interested in the park movement, would be asked to form an auxiliary or independent as sociation for the furtherance of the movement. The different papers of the southern states are agitating the park move ment very strongly. The principal ar ticles are appearing in those papers that had representatives' here. P. A Stovaan, the president of the Savannah Press, recently wrote a two-column ar ticle otn the attractions of this country for the proposed park. W. A. Mc Dougald, of the staff of the Atlanta Journal, who is in the city, has written an extended: article on the park move ment for his paper. He gives a review of the park convention, the claims of the south and especially Western North Carolina for national ptark. He quotes one authority who- says that there are more indegenious trees in Western North Carolina than one would see in a trip through Europe from Turkey to England, or from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountain plateau. He says the Scientific Amer ican gives Western North Carolina the credit of having a climate' in which every sort of North American animal or fish would thrive. He gives a re view of the organization of the move ment, and in an interview with Dr. C. P. Ambler as to a suitable location. Atlanta 'is working for a national park also. The site considered is the Peachtree creek batlefiettd, on which President McKinley, then a major of the federal troops; ex-President Ben jamin! Harrison, then a general, who was seriously injured there, and a num'ber of prominent confederate gen erals were engaged. Bills will be in troduced imito the senate, and ihouse of representatives and the" legislature of Georgia tms weeK ror tne purenase or about 1,300 acres, for which options have 'already been secured.
