To perfect organisation of the can
vass a committee of five was appointed
Friday morning In accordance with
the conclusion reached at a meeting of
the committee of fifty Thursday after
noon. The committee Is composed of
Robert F. Maddox, chairman; Forrest
Adair, F. J. Paxpn, C. E. Caverly nml
Walter O. Cooper. The committee wilt
meet at the call of the chairman.
Chairman Maddox said Friday that
he would call the meeting as soon as
the Hat of those who have subscribed
have been tabulated according to occu
pation, and that this would probably bo
done by Monday afternoon.
"The work of the committee of flvo
appointed this morning,” said Mr.
Maddox, "la tc make arrangements for
the completion of the canvass, to di
vide the work among the committee of
flfty and the committees already ap
pointed and to decide upon what elso
Is necessary along this line."
Committee Meeting Thursday,
The meeting Thursday afternoon was
opened by Chairman Robert P. Mad
dox with a practical speech, setting
forth exactly what remains to be ac
complished. He brought out the points
that not only the total amount of
1500,000 must be subscribed, but about
16 per cent more then this amount, to
cover the deflclency probable when
collection time comes. This must be
done before a single contract Is left for
the actual work of preparing for the
exposition. Mr. Maddox then declared
that the subscriptions In many cases,
so far, and especially taken as coming
from the various classes of business
and professional men, were not at all
liberal, and, In fact, far balow ths ex
pectatlons of the original committee.
The wisdom of the move to put now
blood Into the committee was most ap
parent and the enthusiasm of the new
members was encouraging.
T. H. Martin, ons of Atlanta's most
prominent business men. brought the
enthusiasm to Its highest pitch by of
fering his services for the entire month
of June. Mr. Martin explained that the
month was his vacation and that his
entire time would be given to the work
of making certain the 1910 exposition.
Others followed Mr. Mnrtln's lead and
tendered a portion of their time. Col
onel Harry Silverman moved that
stenographers'be secured and complete
lists be made of those who have sub
scribed. Mr. Martin followed IMS sug
gestion along tho line of canvassing
the city with personal visits and letters
In the manner n political campaign Is
carried on. Forrest Adair, Edwin P.
Ansley, Alex Smtlh and others ex
pressed views as to systematising, and
t was decided that Chairman Maddox
should name a committee of flvo to
take up this matttr.
C. H. Kelley suggested that the block
committees continue their excellent
work. Mr. Kelley declared that thore
were many mors people In his block
who would subscribe and many others
who would raise their subscriptions.
To Meat Every Thursday.
It wns unanimously decided that ths
committee of flfty meet In the cham
ber of commerce rooms every Thursday
at 3:10 o’clock. R was also decided to
appoint a committee of women. It Is
believed that this will be most success
ful.
Alex Smith made a practical speech
on the difference of the proposed ex
position and others held In Atlanta
leretofor*.
It was also suggested that the Fourth
of July bs celebrated aa the day on
which all the money for the Atlanta
exposition of 1910 has been raised.
