Augusta, Ga, June 15.—Columbus gets the next president of the league of Georgia Municipalities and Athens the next annual meeting. This was- decided yesterday afternoon at the closing session, which was held In the pavilion at the Locks. There were fully 300 at the meeting and every city represented voted on the next meeting place, aa this was the only point that had opposition. All of the old officers were pushed up one place and one new one named for the fourth .vice president. The officers are: President, L. H. Chappell, of Colum bus; first vice president, Hermann My ers. of Savannah; second vice presl dent, E. M. Smith, of McDonough; third vice president, T. W. Cochran, of Baraavllle; fourth vice president, J. A. Simms, of Richland; secretary and treasurer, Bridges Smtlh, of Macon; representative to National League treasurer, Bridges Smith, of Macon; J. A. Simms is the only new person elected to the list of officers. Mayor Allen, of Augusta, was nomb nated for the national representative, but declined the honor, stating that It would be Impossible for him to attend. A very high honor was paid Mayor Allen, of Augusta, by the members of the league, making him a life member without dues. This was done by the unanimous consent of the members of the body. There waa a general discussion on the matter of extending the league Into a tri-state league, but It was decided that this would be unwise, and the res olution that was presented by Mayor Chappell, of Columbus, was laid on the table. Mayor James Woodward, of Atlanta, led the light against the ex tension, but he claimed that It would not hurt Atlanta nor some of the other large cities In the state, but that the little follows would suffer from It. May or Woodward was sustained In bis ar gument by Dr. J. B. Morgan, of Augus ts, and a number of the mayors from the smaller cities, they claiming that If the league waa expanded they would not be able to stay In It. Dr. J. B. Morgan, of Augusta, pre sented a resolution asking that the league go on record sis favoring the Introduction of Immigrants Into the state. Dr. Brunner, the health officer from Savannah, led the opposition to the movement and stated that If there was law sufficient to make the negrt i to work that the country would .utter. He declared that he could fur nish ten counties with Idle negroes from Savannah If there waa a law to cover the situation. He advocated a more stringent vagrant taw. A vote was taken and the resolution lost. n. w. Hutchison, of Atlanta, a mem ber of the Arm of J. M. Roman & Co., made a very Interesting address on the municipal ownership question.

Movement Will Be Continued Ac tively Again in the Fall. A long summer vacation will be given the 1(10 exposition. Not until October t will there be spy more effort made to secure the 3150,000 which remains to be raised to secure the half million dollar guarantee fund. It was so decided at the meeting of the committee of llfty held in the Chamber of Commerce Thursday afternoon. This Important step was taken after careful consideration of all points Involved and It was the consensus that to continue tbe work during the dull summer days when half of Atlanta was out. of the city, when business will be at Its low tide and enthusiasm on the wane, would be an Irreparable mistake. In the autumn the work will be taken up with new life And pushed to speedy successs. The meeting Thursday was well at tended. After a short address. Chair man R. F. Maddox requested Secre tary Walter G. Cooper to read two communications, one from himself to S. M. Inman, asking tor an opinion on putting off further exposition work un til the fall and the other Mr. Inman's reply. Hugh T. Inman. W. L. Peel, James W. English, Sr., Governor Terrell and Asa G. Candler made short addresses on the subject and all were of the opinion that the matter should be laid over. President J. WHIe Pope explained that he had not been In attendance at many of the meetings because of bua- ness, but that In the fall he would be able to give to the exposition much of his time. Mr. Inman's Lsttsr. It was then unanimously resolved that the canvass be suspended until meetlhg of the committee to be held October 3, In accordance with Mr. In man’s communication, which reads; "Atlanta, Ga., June 11, 1(05.—Hon. Robert F. Maddox, chairman. My Dear Mr. Maddox: In response to your very kind letter of June 9, 1 beg to say that I am sincerely of the opinion that your committee should suspend the canvass for subscriptions to the exposition fund until next autumn. The season of dull ness, In many lines of business, will come with the mid-summer heat. Many of the citizens, and no doubt many of the members of your committee, will be away on summer vacations. "When we consider the work your committee has done In the short time since the canvass was begun, how near ly 3340,000 private subscriptions have been secured, and the addition of some 3310,000 promised by the city and some of our public utilities, without asking any of the steam railways and some of the public utilities to assist, I consider It the most successful work ever ac compllshed In Atlanta, In so short i time. It speaks volumes for the devo tion, energy and efficiency of your com mittee and the progressive spirit of Atlanta. I do not believe as. much could have been done In any other Southern city. Your success Is a prophecy of what you can accomplish next autumn, when the busy season Is on and Atlanta takes up the line of march again, with her usual vigor and determination. I am In favor of the expoeltlon In 1(10. If It were next year, I would op pose It; for your people have alt they can do, and their housea are full. The Immense sums paid out by the rail roads around Atlanta, together with abnormally good times, have produced a condition of feverish activity; but five years may find a different condl tlon. ' "A presidential election year often makes a change. It Is almost a set tled fact that Mr. Bryan may be the nominee of the Democratic party. The tariff and other Issues will come to the front. History may repeat Itself. T< prepare for dull times In times of pros verity Is as wise as to prepare for war n times of peace. With the money secured for this great movement, I think Atlanta will have 'a source of hope and encouragement that will help tide over any depression. “But, suppose the depression does not come; one leading objection to the movement la, that there la not enough labor for the present active demands. In reply It ran be said that scarcely a nail need be driven until the summer of 1(05—two years hence. By that time the labor supply will Increase— and even at the worst. It will not be a serious mistake to furnish plenty of work and good wages to the mechanics and laborers of Georgia COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO GO TO WASHINGTON.
