This was decided yesterday afternoon at the closing sessloh, which was held In the pavilion at the Locks.

Mayor Allan, of Augusta, was nomi nated for the national representative,' but declined the honor, stating that It would be Impossible for him to attend, i A very high honor was paid Mayor Allen, of Augusta, by the members of the league, making him a Ilfs member without dues. This was done by tha unanimous consent of the members of the body. There was a 1 general discussion on the matter of extending the league Into a trl-state league, but It was decided that this would be unwise, and the res olution that was presented by Mayor Chappell, of Columbus,.was laid on the tabic. Mayor James Wooda’srd, of Atlanta, led the light against the ex tension, but hs claimed that It would not hurt Atlanta nor some of the other large cities In the state, but that the little follows would suffer from It. May or Woodward was sustained In his ar gument by Dr. J. B. Morgan, of Augus ta, and a number of the mayor* from the smaller cities, they claiming that If the league was expanded they would not be able to etay In It. Dr. J. B. Morgan, of Augusta, pre sented a resolution asking that ths league go on record as fnvorlng the Introduction of Immigrants Into the state. Dr. Brunner, the health officer from 8avannah, led the opposition to the movement and stated that If there was a law sufficient to make the negroes go to work that the country would be better.

This Important step was token after careful consideration of all points Involved and It was the conaenaua that to continue the work during the dull summer days when half of Atlanta was out of the city, when business will be at Its low tide and enthusiasm on the wane, would be an Irreparable mistake.' In the autumn the work will be taken up with new life and pushed to speedy success*. The meeting Thursday was wall at, tended. After a short address. Chair, man R. F. Maddox requested Secre tary Walter O. Cooper, to read two communications, one from himself to 8. M.

It was then unanimously resolved that the canvass be suspended until a meeting of the committee to be held October 8, In accordance with Mr. In man's communication, which reads: .‘‘Atlanta, .Gs, June If,. 1606.—lion. Robert F. Maddox, chairman. My Dear Mr. Maddox; In response to your very kind letter of June 8, 1 beg to say that I am sincerely of the opinion that your committee should suspend the canvass for subscriptions to the exposition fund until next autumn. The season of dull ness, In many lines of business, will come with the mid-summer heat. Many of the clttsena, and no doubt many of the members of your committee, will be away on summer vacations. "When we consider the work your committee has done In the short time since the canvass was begun, how near ly 8116,666 private subscriptions have been secured, and the addition of some 1116,666 promised by the city and some of our public utilities, without asking any of the steam railways and some of the public utilities to assist, I consider It the most successful work ever ac complished In Atlanta, In ao short a time. It speaks volumes for ths devo tion, energy end efficiency of your com mittee and the progressive spirit of Atlanta. I do not believe as much could htlve been done in any other Southern city. Tour success Is a prophecy of what you can accomplish next autumn, when ths busy season Is on and Atlanta takes up tha line of march again, with her usual vigor and determination. 1 am In favor of the exposition In 1110. If It were next year, 1 would op pose It; for your people have all they can do, and their houses are full. The Immense sums paid out by the rail roads around Atlanta, together with abnormally good times, have produced a condition of feverish activity; but Ave yeara may And a different condi tion. presidential election yeer often makes a change.

JOE CHOATE ORDERED TO TAKE SOME REST ugh labor for tha present active demands- In reply It can be said that scarcely a nail need be driven until the summer of 1601—two years hence. By that time the labor supply will Increase - - and .even at the wont, It will not be a serious mistake to furnish plenty of work and good wages to the mechanics and laborers of Georgia.
