The meeting was called to order by j
Mr. J. X. Moore, who stated tlie ob
ject of the meeting to be for the pur-1
pose of devising some plan for the j
formation or organization of nn im
provement fund, to be used for the in- j
auguration of enterprises which shall
lie to the interest and advancement
tirst of the organization, and ns a nat-1

ty at large.

Mr. Editor:—I notice in the last
issue of the Chronicle an able and

this city. 1 see in the same paper
there is a call for a meeting of tin* cit

next at the Court House; presumably
for the purpose of devising some plan
or means whereby the said law may
be enforced.

of the meeting.
Mr. W. W. Lumpkin was asked to
give his idea as to the shape the or
ganization should take. He stated
that his idea was to adopt the plan
suggested by Mr. C. G. Wilson, for
each one who was willing to enter the
organization, to pay in some certain
amount of money, as they are willing
to name monthly, until the aggregate
was sufficient to be expended Tn some
of the many needed enterprises of the
city and county, such as the Organi
zation might suggest.
Mr. Conn suggested that while no
one man might have much money to
invest in new enterprises, or the
knowledge necessary to carry them on
successfully, or the time from his al
ready established business to enter
into them, yet by an organiration of
this kind, such sums would soon accu
mulate as to enable the company
to aid some one who might have the
knowledge to establish the enterprise,
and not sufficient capital, thus put
ting upon foot enterprises that would
be profitable to the stockholders, and
of much benefit to the whole oounty
at large.
After some discussion as to the best
manner of oreating the organization,
Mr. CL D. Case made a motion that it
be organized by putting the shares at
twelve dollars each per year, to be
paid in monthly, which was carried.
Mr. Batfrett said that the idea was
that they wanted parties to subscribe
to these enterprises for the purpose
of benefltting Milledgeville, and that
the public looked upon it as a gratuit
ous offering. This idea was wrong.
Each shareholder entered it with the
idea of his own personal profits that
would accrue from it. That if the
organization prospered, as a natural
consequence the city and county
would be benefitted, but the main idea
was that it was for his (Sol Barrett’s)
interest.
Upon motion to canvass the body
for shares, the result was ns follows:
W. T. Conn, 10; L. H. Wood, 1;
CL 1). Case, 5; T. H. Morris, 2; Joe
Miller, 5; J. W. McMillan, 5; B. T.
Bethune, 3; Dr. W. A. Moore, 1; S.
Barrett, 10; J. Staley, 5; J. Caraker,
5; Arthur Carr, 5; J. N. Moore, 2; T. E.
White, 1; CL W. Caraker, 1; W. W.
Lumpkin, 2; C. L. Morris, 1. Making
in all 03 shares.
Mr. L. H. Wood made a motion
that the organization be called the
Baldwin Improvement Company-
Carried.
Upon Mr. Arthur Carr’s motion, a
committee was appointed to canvass
tlie county. Messrs. W. T. Conn, S.
Barrett, A. J. Carr, J. Staley, T. E.
White and G. 1). Case were appointed
as tlie committee.
The time for the next meeting was
made for Wednesday, April 0, at the
council chamber, at 4:30 o’clock p. in.
Upon motion the meeting adjourned.

tive, is it not strauge that the citizens
of the town should feel under the ne
cessity of devising means to enforce
one of the most sacred laws on the
statutes of the StateT This same law
is being vigorously and successfully
enforced in the city of Atlanta by the
authorities of the city. The same
law is to-day being enforced in ma
ny other cities and towns in the State
of Georgia bv the respective city gov
ernments. Why then can’t the same
thing be done here in Milledgeville?
We have a Mayor, and a good one.
Wo have a Board of Alderman com
posed of six level-headed business
men. We have a chief marshal and
two deputies, all good officers. The
latter have but little to do now, ex
cept to see to the enforcement of this
law. And if these latter officers are
not sufficient to preserve order and
enforce tlie laws, the City Council 1ms
ample power to increase the force and
make it efficient.
Why then should the people of the
city feel under the necessity of taking
the matter in hand? They have vest
ed their city government with all the
power and all the means necessary to
enforce this law. It therefore only
remains for that government to dis
charge a plain duty and the great ob
ject in view is accomplished.
It is puerile in the extreme to say
this law cannot be enforced in a small
city like Milledgeville. No man can
come here and run a so-called wine-
room for one day even without the
permission of the authorities. And
certainly no liquor dealer in Macon
can establish an agency here for the
purpose of solicitiug orders and then
furnish a room to drink in right here
in the heart of the city, without at
least tlie connivance of tlie city gov
ernment.
But suppose we admit that the sale
of intoxicating liquors cannot be pro
hibited so long us a wine room is kept
open in the city; then there is another
remedy at hand. The city council
certainly has the power to follow the
example set by our neighboring city,
Sandersville, and impose so high a ii-
cense on wine-rooms as will effectual
ly close up all such nuisances.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I will
only say that I sincerely hope some
thing will be done and that speedily,
to suppress a traffic which in the j
judgment of all good people is tlie 1
greatest evil ever imposed on poor I
frail humanity. Observer.

Air. Adolph Joseph, whoso emporium
of Dry Goods lias been one of the
notable institutions of Alilledgoville
for many years past, comes to the front
again witli the regularity of the Sea
sons with his proclamation to those
who want goods in his line. His suc
cess in the past in supplying the most
fastidious with seasonable goods of
the latest styles and greatest variety,
is a guarantee that he will supply the
wants of the public in the most satis
factory manner now. Let all our
readers read his short but very at
tractive statement in another column
of the treat he has in Store for them
if they will be wise euougli to give his
courteous and attentive corps of
clerks an oportunity to show them
tlie treasures of various kinds which
crowd his well filled shelves.
Whenever there is anything new in
tlie dry goods line P. J. Cline & Co.,
are always first to find it out. You
can call at their store every day and
you will find them opening something
new.
There was in the city yesterday a
young Jewish Rabbi, who lias recent
ly become a convert to Christianity.
So soou as it became known, his form
er co religionists turned theirbaokton
him and he was deprived of his em
ployment as a teacher of some of their
obildren. One of our city clergymen
after having a free conversation with
him was convinced that he was a man
of excellent education and worthy of
the sympathy and aid of good people.
He is entirely destitute of money and
probably not well calculated to meet
the difficulties of life under such cir
cumstances.
If you want a nice Easter JFess, P. J.
Cline & Co’s, is the place to go. You
1 can find anything you want there,
! and they are certainly head quarters
i for nice goods and low prices.
