WILL ELECT THEM
IN DECEMBER
Effort to Have a Snap Elec
tion of Officers Was
Quashed
!f MM TRUSTEES
At the Meeting Held Last Week—
Carling of Bibb Was the
Objector,
Lest w<<-k a number of trustees of the
*. orgla st*te sanitarium, more commonly
known as lunatic asylum, at Milledge
ville, passed through Macon en route to
their homes from the annual nleeting at
the trustees, which they had been attend
ing at the sanitarium. The trustees who
were pacing through 'Macon were: Dr. E.
T; Dickson, of (. linesvllle, the able preai
< nt of the board; Hon. James Walker, of
aster county; Dr. S. S. Gaulden, of
Quitman- Hon. 11. J. Smith, of Mcßae,
1 Dr. Mallory, of Pike. A very impor
■ and interesting meeting was held. It
was 'both a quarterly and an annual meet
ing. The entin board of ten trustees .were
(present. In addition to the five trustees
j ntioned above there were in attendance
•’. <--srs. Adolph Joseph, of Milledgeville;
T. J. Carliug, of .Macon; Eugene Foster, op
Augusta; Tom Hunt, of Sparta, and Nat
Walker, of Eatonton.
By a recent ad of the legislature, the
f'i' ..l year of the sanitarium was made to
begin September Ist, but nothing was said
anout changing the time of the annual
election of officials of the sanitarium. In
the past this election has ibeen held on the
fourth Thursday in October. At tfeti ses
sion of the board on last Wednesday it was
•proposed that the trustees then and there
proceed to elect all the officials of the
sanitarium whose term of office is only/me
year.
Trustee Carling, of Bibb, opposed the
election (being held at that time, as no one
Jia.l been put on notice that the election
was to be held at. the September session of
the board, and as the sanitarium is a state
institution, he thought that ttie (public
should toe informed of the time of the
eviction. Mr. Carling moved that the elec
tion be postponed until December 21stt,
which is the time for the next regular
quarterly meeting of the lx>ard. The. board
only .have quarterly meetings, and if the
election was set for an earlier date the
board would have to meet, in a called or
special session. The quarterly meetings are
always held on the 2lst day of the month,
except when the date falls on Sunday. The
executive committee,of which Mr. Carling
Is chairman, meets on the 20th of each
month. Mr. Carling is also the vice presi
dent of the board.
Trustee Hunt, of Sparta, moved that the
election be held at once. He offered his
motion as a substitute for Mr. Carling's
motion.
On the ballot being taken the vote stood
four for Mr. Hunt’s motion and five
against it. A trustee arose and said that
he desired the members of the board to go
on record on the motion and he called for
an aye and nay vote, and said that in his
opinion the president should also vote.
•I’rcsi’di nt Dickson said he is always will
ing to .go on record on any proposition, and
voted no on the Hunt substitute, which
made the vote stand four ayes and six
nays. A vote was then taken on Mr. Car
ling’s motion and It was carried by 6 to 4,
and the election of officials will take place
on December 21st. This election does not
embrace the superintendent or the assis
tant physicians, as their terms of office
are two yeans, and they have another year
to serve. Jnly officials whose terrrMjof of
fice is one year are to be elected on De
cember 21st.
The following officials are to be elected
in December. The amount of their annual
salaries is appended:
Steward, $2,200; assistant steward. $1,500;
engineer. $1,500; storekeeper, $1,200; as
sistant storekeeper. $500; secretary, $1,200;
treasurer. $900; matron.
M hen the trustees make their report to
the governor at the next session of the
legislature will doubtless contain some
very important recommendations. The re
port promises to be a very interesting
document.

A Magnificent Publication Upon the South
ern Country. *
The wonderful progress which the
South has been making in all lines of in
dustrial, commercial and intellectual de
velopment has been most fittingly set forth
in a magnificent volume, which, after
months of careful preparation, has just
been issued by the Southern Railway.
This book, the title of which, "The Em
pire of the South,” convey® an idea of its
character, is beyond question one of the
m. • comprehensive and at the same time
arastic publications ever issued from the
p: s. It contains nearly two hundred
octave pages, over four hundred exquisite
ly printed illustrations, and makes a pre
nation of Southern interests in all lines
of human activity, which for thoroughness
ot rvatment hits never been approached.
The opening chapter of the book under
the caption of "The South. Yesterday, To
day rd Tomorrow.” discusses in a broad
and forcible manner the present and fu
ture of the Southern States, treating at
considerable length the various interests,
such as agriculture, cotton, tobacco, iron,
coal, resorts, climate, etc. Following this
are chapters devoted to each of the states
south of the Ohio and Potomac, and east of
the Mississippi rivers.
These give, a brief, interesting sketch
of 'the early history of each state, and then
touch upon all its important activities,
showing the progress being made not only
by the state itself, but by the leading
cities.
The author of the work. Mr. Frank Pres
brey. is a close student of Southern pro
gress, and in the collection and preparation
of the intense amount of important infor
mation given in the book, has had the co
operation of the officials of the Southern
Railway. The distribution of this magni
ficent volume will do an incalculable
amount of practical good in calling .the
attention of the world to the South, and
the Southern Railway has demonstrated its
fa >h in the future of that section by the
expenditure of the many thousands of dol
lars which this great work must have cost.
Those who are fortunate enough to receive
a copy of this edition de luxe, which is sent
with the compliments of the company, will

Man Charged With Illicit Distilling Turned

Hugh Murphey, a man from Upson

I the Confederacy in Georgia Auxiliary to

atid hew the veterans loved her.
The hospitable women of Rome are mak

Figuration last fall was beautifully car
ried through.
Several enterainments are being ar

tion, among these a large evening reeep

HEALTH CERTIFICATES.
Must Be Held by People Who Are Going to
Florida.
Notice is given by the railroads to pas
sengers for Florida that they must have
health certificates, or they will not be able
to enter that state. This is usually the
first intimation they have of that fact, and
they are at once put to considerable
| trouble.
Florida has a state board of health, and
■ a very rigid quarantine is now being en
forced. All trains entering the state are
met by inspector,? and no passengers can
enter who are not provided with certifi
cates showing they have not 'been within
; any fever infected districts for some days
: It seems this fact is not generally known
and surprise, and often disgust, is express
ed by passengers for that state when they
reach the depot in a hurry to catch a train
and find they have to get to a physician’s
office in a still greater hurry in order to
get the certificate and get back to the
I train in time.

The word "NEW" carries more weight with shrewd buyers of wearing apparel
| than the much abused term “Bargains.” We’re in business to sell merchandise for
just its value. That’s cheap enough for anybody. You can’t reasonably expect
J more than your money’s worth. “Charity shops” are not In vogue. We can give
you full measure for every dollar. You can pick from our assortment of NBW
CLOTHING, FURNISHINGS and HATS at no greater cost than for a selection from
- the old and new styles and good and bad qualities always found together in a car-
ried over stock. Try it and see. Make the test Monday or whenever yon are ready
’ to buy anything in the line of CLOTHING, FURNISHINGS and HATS. Ten are
I sure to get the correct styles here. You’re sure to get the reliable qualities and,
j again we say it, you’re sure to get your money’s worth.
