public may not entirely understand
! the situation respecting the matte:
set up in the article I ask that you
publish the following statement of
facts
Al the August last meeting of the
Georgia State Agricultural Society
held in the Auditorium of the State
College of Agriculture there had been
no invitation extended to the Society
by the authorities of any city or
town to hold the 1911 meeting of the
society, as had prior to that time
been the case. In this delimma the
convention was about to adjourn
without a place for the 1911 meeting.
Whereupon Col. Samuel C. Dunlap
suggested to Hon. John W. Bennett
of your city to extend an Invitation to
. the Society to meet in Waycross In
Song and Prayer »mlce-, m ^ Mf Bennetl dM anJ by

there Is certainly no cause for a
