ASKING STATE FOR AID
1t is now Believed That the Necessary
Amount Will be Easily subscrib-
ed and Georgia Will .Ive
Building.

The committee in charge of Geor-
lgia building at St. Louis, appointed
some time ago by the governor is now
doing some good work and is meeting
with much success.
The following letter, signed by Hugh
w. Washington, vice commissioner in
charge OF the building has been sent
iout over the state.
Dear Sir; Messrs. d. M. Hughes
and Glasoock Barrett have spent con.
siderable time at the ST. Louis expo-
Isition grounds for the purpose of thor
Ioughly Investigating what was neces-
sary be done in nrder to have our
Estate rank as it should at tho coming
exposition Of the resources md indus
tries of the civilized world TO be held
lat the st. Louis exposition.
They Inform me that with the CO.
operation they have so far met with
from the exposition management and
the citizens of the state at large, there
Seems to be lite doubt OF Georgia
ranking, if not first, among the first
lin preseD ting to the public its many
lend varied resources.
Also that nearly every state and ter
lritory and civilized country Will have
its own building. These buildings are
erected for the purpose of aftording
headquarters for the officials repre-
Ieenting taese different coma ittees, as.
z. place oa resort md hAadeyA>r.srs for
Visitors from the different states and
countries; place where citizens
might transact any business that they
might have while visiting the exposi-
tom.
These buildings being the head
quarters Of other different sections,
others visit them for the purpose of
coming in contact with people of the
different communities in which they
contemplate living or transacting any
financial matters. A state may have
all the natural resources Of nature
and if the people are not attractive
strangers will hesitate to make their
homes with them, or TO transact bus
mess, and will be reluctant to take
part in the Inauguration Of industrial
enterprises. We are all aware that
Georgia produces the most attractive
courteous, gentle and lovely women,
and shrewd, energetic and brainy men;
many thousands of these will visit
st. Louis for the purpose of recrea-
ton, business education. 1t is not
up to us TO furnish fen these, living
demonstrations OF the backbone of
our country, a proper place of resort
where they can come i'll contact with
and know people from other states and

There will also be a repIOductiOs OF
the Philippine Islands including 1000

old and young folks an opportunity
of learning what we have in our new
possessions.
The Lumber Association Of Georgia
has doaa ted material for the building
and all chat is now necessary to do
is to procure funds for the transpOr-
tation, erection and care OF this build

man, woman and child in this state
