MACON DID NOT
BITE TWIT
Resolutions Passed by Cham
ber ofCommerce Endors
ing Senator Bacon. .
AIIIOTI ADVOCATED
The Members of the Chamber of
Commerce Heid Rousing Meet
ing Moultrie Coming.
The Chamber of Commerce at its
monthly meeting held yesterday after
noon got into i.ne on the war .uid passed
re-elutions endorsing the course of Senator
Bacon on the subject. A telegram was
ordered .-ent to the senator asking him to
convey to the prisident and to Congress
man Bartlett the views ot the Macon
Chamber ot Commerce.
Senator Bacon has taken the position
that war should be avoided if possible, but
he does not go so far as the resolutions
tiiat >iere forwarded from the Baltimore
Chamber of Commerce and which are evi
dently prepared by some one whose per
sonal interest is to be subserved by pre
venting war at any cost.
It was at the request of the Baltimore
cruirnber that the matter was brought up
but fortunately the Macon chamber did
not fall into the same error as did some of
the other commercial ixrdies of the e-oiau
try which have swallowed the resolutions
whole and in doing so have run counter to
the course that honor and decency would
suggest, and in fact the position that is
taken throughout the whole country.
These resolutions were shelved though
there was a desire on the part of a cer
tain element to shove them through. But
Macon is not to be caught napping so
easily and the course adopted was grace
ful and proper.
Senattor Bacon has not taken a stand
against war, lie has stated repeatedly
through the columns of the papers and
elsewhere that he thought that the presi
dent should go slowly in the matter and
that for the sake of the honor of the na
tion he should proceed with the utmost
caution. He has gone so far as to point
out that as a senator from Georgia, a
coast town, it was his duty to prevent war
if it could be avoided with honor, but it
is not at all probable that he will look at
the action of the Chamber of Commerce
as taken yesterday in the light of a pro
test against war at this time or a protest
against any action that the president may
have determined upon and which may lead
up to war. If that is the purpose of the
telegram which was sent to Senator Bacon
last night it is more than probable that
he will look upon it in the light of an
•affront. He is probably directly in line
with the president in any action that he
may now take and a recommendation that
may be made at this time coming from any
commercial bodies in the country is cal
culated to carry much weight with it if it
is to be construed as a protest against war
under the circumstances.
action of the Chamber of. Com
merce is a graceful aeknowledment ok the
proper course taken by Senator Bacon and
as such will be accepted by him.
Following is. the telegram sent to Sen
ator Bacon:
“Senator A. O. Bacon, Washington, D.
C —The Macon Chamber of Commerce at
a largely attended meeting unanimously
endorses your course relative to the main
t'aindng of an honorable peace and respect
fully request your communicating the
tame to the president and to Representa
tive C. L. Bartlett.
“R. M. Rogers,
"President Macon Chamber of Commerce.”
The Chamber of Commerce has shown
that it is in line for a greater Macon. At
■he meeting held yesterday resolutions
were introduced looking to the solidifying
of the movement to incorporate the su
burbs of Macon so as to bring them in
with the city and so swell the population
and the revenue.
The resolutions were introduced by Mr.
George A. Smith and were seconded by
Mr. Jack Jones, the latter himself a ’resi
dent of A’ineville, who made a strong
speech in favor of the annexation of that
suburb. Greater Macon is a popular move
ment with the people of Macon but so far
it has met with very strong opposition
from the people of Vineville and some
good proselyting work will have to be
clone by the people who have now under
taken to bring the suburbs in if they
would avoid a very big fight before the
legislature.
Following are the resolutions as passed:
AA’hereas, At a recent’session of the city
council, Alderman Edward Huthnance
presented a resolution favoring such steps
as would secure annexation of Macon’s su
burbs, so that at the next national census
Macon would make a showing that would
give her greater prestige., and entitle her
to be styled Greater Macon, and
Whereas, Council adopted said resolu
tion by a unanimous vote, thereby endors
ing the spirit and purpose of the same,
and putting itself on record in favor of the
upbuilding of the city of Macon, therefore
be it
Resolved, By the Chamber of Commerce,
That it is in complete accord with the ac
tion taken by council in reference to Ai
derman Huthnauce’s resolution, and it is
the sense of this organization that every
reasonable and honorable effort be used
to create a Greater Macon; and to that end
we pledge ourselves.
All Moultrie will be In Macon next week.
The merchants and business ine.i gener
ally of that thriving town will be the
guests of the Macon Chamber of Com
merce next Tuesday, and they will be
■given a right royal reception. Arrange
ments were made at the meeting yester-i
Jay for the entertainment of the visitors
who come here to judge of Macon as a
trading point. Heretofore the business
of MoultHe has been directed to Savannah
but the merchants there think that they
ean trade better here and they have been
doing so for a little time with the help of"
some improved railroad rates.
It is now proposed to show them that
it would pay to bring all their trade to
Macon and the chances are that they will
not he neglected of their own interests in
this direction. At any rate those who
come here as the guests of the Chamber
of Commerce will be made to realize that
Macon can act the part of a most excel
lent host.
The meeting of the chamber yesterday
was marked by the enthusiasm of the
members and was in every way most cred
itable to Macon. It was in fact indicative
of the new spirit that has been imbued
into the Macon Chamber of Commerce.
Secretary Ketchum re-ad his mouthy re
port. which was as follows:
Mr. President and Members of the
Chamber of Commerce: During the past
month the work of the Chamber of Com
merce has inc Teased in scope and much
has been done on the line of policy adopt
ed by this organization as the most likely
to increase the efficiency of the Chamber
of Commerce, and make it a practical fac
tor in the development of Macon’s com
mercial interests and its upbuilding on in
dustrial lines.
The work of the chamber under the
present conditions has produced results
that are a practical encouragement.
Questions have been submitted to us from
other commercial bodies and our prompt
action through the appropriate comnfit
tees and the chamber has been attested
by the thanks extended us and by the
prominence given to this organization in
other cominereial centers. Every day
proves beyond question that an organized
force of the business men of any city is

the most potential factor in guarding and
developing its commercial interests and
maintaining its civic importance.
During the past month the first of a se
ries of social meetings was held, and that
it was a success is well known. At that
meeting a subscription was started to se
cure a fund for the construction of an
other steamer for the Macon Navigation
Company and marly one-half cf the de
sired amount was raised in a few mo
ment?.
In thi? connection r desire tn call atten
tion to the future social met tings that will
be held at our quarters and to assure
membtis that their prime object is to
bring members together for social pur
poses. The call for subscriptions for the
boat fund at the first smoker was only an
incident and not the purpose of that meet
ing, and it does not form a precedent or
create a rule for subsequent social gather-

In the worit of recruiting our ranks every

of Commerce.
On the 12tli of this month, through in
vitation of the Chamber of Commerce, the
merchants of Moultrie, Ga., will visit the
city of Macon and form a closer acquaint
ance with our business men. The special
committee of arrangements for this occa

chairman; Mr. George A. Macdonald and
Mr. Henry Horne, have made all the nec
essary arrangements and the outcome of
their visit to -Macon as our guests cannot
fail to have a good result.
A motion was made that the newspapers
be requested to publish the report and it
was adopted.

and a half and was about, the liveliest held
