Geo. D. Wheatley
c °r- Lamar Street and Cotton|Avenue,
For the purpose of a more complete
organization throughout the state, the
ordinaries of the several counties in
this state were requested to furnish to
the secretary the name of some public
pirited citizer. in each county who
would agree to act as the chairman of
a county board of directors, whose duty
it will be to select two other suitable
citizens of the county to constitute,
with him, a couuty board for the pur
pose of securing funds and exhibits for
Georgia’s display.
The oommltte farther requested the.
editor ot each newspaper In the state to
act as special representative of Ahe
World’s Fair movement in Georgia^ to
open a column for voluntary subscrip
tions, and to urge upon the people from
time to time the necessity for prompt
action in the matter.
These appointments will constitute the
active forces for securing funds and ex
hibits for Georgia’s display. If we have
the co-operation of the people of the
state, Georgia will be successfully adver-
tUcd to the world. If the people are in
different, the whole scheme will fail, and
our state will lose the leadership of the
south in progress and enterprise.
Under the direction of the executive
committee, I was instructed, as chair
man, to ask the earnes f , active aid of all
the people of the state in this worthy ef
fort, We cannot afford to be absent
from the gathering of the states. In all
the history of our people there was
never a better opportunity to advertise
the state in its products, its resources
and its advantages, so as to secure the
upbuilding of our various industries, the
lefadopment of our agriculture, manu
factures and commerce, and thereby se
cure the increase of our taxable prop
erty and the consequent distribution of
the burdens of government among
greater number of state interests.
Not only will the display secure the
proper illustration and advertisement of
the state, but the advertisement of the
several localities, counties and sections
of the state as such. Any locality,
county or section, or, indeed, any special
industry can make its special display
a part of the aggregate whole for the
state and reap the benefit of the adver
tisement of its special wares, products
ami advantages.
The scope of this exhibit will not be con
fined, therefore, to materia) display, but
extend to discriptive circulars, pamph
lets and such personal presentations as
may give to the people outside of the
state a full and satisfactory knowledge
of our people, products and possibili
ties. The committee intends the dis
play to represent Georgia hi miniature,
embracing every feature that makes the
wealth of the state and the content of
the people.
A creditable display cannot be secur
ed, transported to Chicago, Installed in
Us place and properly (cared for during
the Exposition without a liberal expen
diture of funds.
The aecretary of the executive com
mittee has bee© instructed to furnish to
the treasurer of each coontj board the
amount necessary, In the opinion of the
committee, for each to oootribote to the
display, in order to raise $100,000 aa a
general fond.
-With proper diligence and under prop
er methods, this amount of money can
bo easily secured from the people of the

lug It.
Them is u good deal of grip iu [liecity
Tlie physicians take various views of it,
though none regard the disease as alarm
ing. A well known physician said yes
terilay that he thinks there is very little
•eai grip. Ife had known of only a few
cases, though there are a good many
cases of bat] colds and influenza, which
a good many call grip.
--About the only ditTerence between
grip and Influenza Is That the former Is
an epidemic disease and Is independent
of climatic conditions. It Is as likely to
attack in pleasant weather as in inclem
ent weather. I don’t think the disease
will be very severb here this season.
The history of the grip shows that It is
always more severe the tlrst season, less
severe the second, and still less the
third season. As this is the third sea
son the disoaso Is not likely to be vory
severe.”
Another physician expressed himself
dilTerently. There is a good deal of grip
In the elty, he said, and there will prob
ably be a good deal more of it. There
have been no fatal cases so far. On ac
count of the pleasant the eases so far
have been light.
‘‘It Is a climatic disease,” he said,
‘‘and a severe cold spell may precipitate
a number of cases.”
The grip Is not as severe here os it is
in the the north. On account of the
climate It Is never very severe here, and
fatal cases are few. One difference bo
tween grip and influenza is the after ef
fects, extreme nervousness and a debili
tated condition of the system fallowing
the grip. Death seldom results from
grip Itself, but from the after effects.
A writer in the Boston Globs recom-
commends the following prescription
for the grip, which he guaranfees ns
sure cure: Take a half glass of water,
sweeten with sugar, then add a tea
spoonful of sweet spirits of nitre, stir
well and drink It. A dose of tbo above
every half hour fur four lioura will cure
the "grip,” cost 10 cents, and any person
can see there Is nothing harmful in It.
