CITY AND STATE LAW
On the Subject of Failure to Report Conta
gious Disease.
Dr. K. P. Moore, who was tried before
the recorder on the charge of failure to
comply with the ordinance of the city re
quiring physicians to report promptly all
cases of infectious disease.
The doctor was present, but was not at
tended by any counsel. He conducted his
own case.
The facts in this case have already been
given in The News.
The recorder, after hearing the evidence,
said that he would suspend sentence, bus
he t®ok occasion to remark that the ordi
nance was not complied with as strictly
by the physicians of the city as it should
be, and that he hoped that in future more
care would be exercised.
It is not generally known, but it is a
fact, that there is a state law requiring
that all physicians shall report contagious
diseases, but the difference between the
state law and that of the city is that the
state law specifies smallpox.
The county commissioners wish it un
derstood that they will enforce the law,
and that they will prosecute any breach of
it very promptly. The state law' is
llows:
(499) Any physician or other person who
shall conceal a case of smallpox or vario- j
loid, or any other modification of the same,
within any incorporated city, town, or in
any county, by not giving immediate no
tice thereof to the mayor, intendant, or
health officer, shall be punished as for a
misdemeanor.
Don’t forget the millinery opening of
Burke & Campbell, Agents, 29th and 30th.
WILL WORK TO

Committee on Membership of
the Chamber of Com
merce is Active.
PROF. MARTIN'S SPEECH
Delivered on the Occasion of the Bo
hemian Smoker at.the Chamber
of Commerce Saturday.
Professor Martin, chairman of the com
mittee on merbership of the Chamber of
Commerce, proposes to make a big push
with his committee towards obtaining new
members for the Chamber of Commerce.
The work will be carried on this week.
At the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce held on Saturday Professor Martin
made a most admirable address on the
subject of a strong support of the Cham
ber by the business men of the city. In
the course of his remarks he said:
'Mr. President and Gentlemen: Engraven
upon the statue of that kingliest of Geor
gians, Benjamin Harvy -Hill, designed to
perpetuate that sentiment w'hich most did.
do him honor, are found these glowing
words of patriotism:
“He who lets his country die, lets all
things die, and all things dying curse
him. He who saves his country, saves all
things, and all things saved do bless him.’*
Mr. president, if in this splendid senti
ment of patriotism, we substitute city for
'country, I do not believe that it would
improperly portray the fate of 'him who
by act of commission or omission, permits
the seeds of disintegration and decay to
enter into the communal life, or 'that it
would give too great a meed of blessing
to him who, on the otehr hand, preserves
that life and contributes to its growth and
vigor.
The trouble, as I have seen it, with our
people, has been their inability or unwill
ingness to recognize the fact that there is
a communal work to be done. They have
been indued to regard thems-lveM as in
tegral units, but not component parts cf
the community. They ha <e been too
prone io adopt ar their mo'/.j; 'Look out
for A <o. ’ tvt little co i * id ms :•
the other letters of the t L»i»b?t
I believe sirs, that every city, like every
individual, is the architect of its own for
tune, but the plans can neither be drawn
nor axecuted, save by some such represen
tative organization as this Chamber of
Commerce.
To Macon are constantly being present
ed a thousand and one opportunities for
development, growth and greatness: but
these oportunities, like those which comes
to the individual, usually move in
straight lines, not in circles, and once lost
never return. These can oni>' be seized
and utilized by an organization representa
tive of the city, and everything gained by
it for the collective good, must perforce
ultimately redound to the benefit of the
individual citizen and to the advancement
of every legitimate enterprise of the city.
Therefore, personal interest, as well as
public duty demands the maintenance of
this chamber.
Revivified, rejuvinated and reconsecha
ted, to the cause of Macon’s upbuilding,
what the Chamber of Commerce has al
ready accomplished, and now has clearly
outlined, should imbue us with the glory
of a greater hope—invest us with the ma
jesty of a greater faith in the greater
splendor and more splendid greatness of
our city’s future.
One of the greatest of modern military
chieftans has given to the world two pro
verbs: “Let no guilty man escape,” and
’-the other, “We will fight it out on this
line if it takes all summer.”
Mr. President, our committee believes
that there are three hundred to four hun
dred citizens who should be members of
this body; and slightly paraphrasing the
words of the great commander, “We intend
to let no elligible man escape,” and “pro
pose to fight it out on this line if it takee
all four seasons. With the assistance of
our handsome and appropriately named
secretary, we propose to “Ketchum” all.
TOMORROW
The Bazar’s Annual Spring Opening Wil*
Take Place.
The ladies of Macon and vicinity are
looking forward with much eagerness to

Bazar's annual spring opening.
Mr. Maas has placed on exhibition for

hats and millinery ever shown by the

opening are assured of a treat. It will
occur rain or shine, so do not hesitate to
come out. ~
