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.

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.
