before the public in Georgia and other
states the many advantages of Madison.
In addition to a board of directors COM
posed of fifteen of the livest, most prom
inent and energetic men of Madison and
Morgan county, the following officers
were elected: p. NJ. Atkinson presi-
dent c. L. c. Thomas. vice president
and w. G, Thompson, treasurer.
r. w. Parker, mayor of Madison, and
one of its most progressive and energetic
citizens, took leading part in the plans
which have been made, and 1t was large
ly due to his uutiring efforts that the
board Of trade was organized. He and
other prominent citizens associated with
him are determined that Madison shall
be known far and wide, and that more
capital shall be invested in this thriving
community, and that more people shall
make their homes there.

LAWYERS MUST NOT
CAST ASIDE DIGNITY
BEFORE THIS JUDGE

Judge E. w. Thomas. Of the Valdosta
circuit, who is now holding court IN At
lanta's criminal division, has destroyed
all the accustomed ease Of Atlanta's
court rooms that conflicts with court
dignity
j. V. Poole. a young lawyer was the
first to hear a reproof from the judge.
Examining a witness, he leaned against
a table in the room. As the question
ing grew tedious he gave way more and
more to physical relaxation. Suddenly
a rap from the judges gavel and an or
der from the bench reminded him that
he was sitting on the table.
John w. Moore had almost the same
experience a short time later
The lawyers apologized to the court.
Down at the court house they say it is
safe bet that no other lawyer will at
tempt sitting on the table in Judge
Thomas court

To Be Attended by About
One Thousand Guests.

Elaborate plans are being made for
the big Atlanta Chamber OF Commerce
dinner in the arena of the Auditorium
next Tuesday evening. Musical num-
bers will constitute one Of the most
prominent features of the program.
Through the courtesy Of S. Russell
Bridges. of the Alkahest Lyceum sys-
tenn, the Chicago Ladies orchestra
which will be in Atlanta for an en-
tertainment Tuesday will render some
of their best numbers during the re-
ception and the early part of the din
ner. This feature has been arranged
as a compliment to the Chamber Of
Commerce by Mr.. Bridges and will un-
questionably prove one of the most at
tractive portions of the program.
Band and Singers.
In addition arrangements have been
made for a band for the entire even
ing, and during the dinner songs will
be sung by the WeisteTsinger Male
quartette, a weIl-known Atlanta or
ganization composed Of William Maur-
er, first tenor; Frank Cundeu, second
tenor; Edward Werner, baritone, and
Richard Brusch. basso. The quartette
will sing songs ranging from the old
plantation melodies to dignified hymns,
including two new Atlanta songs COM

Thousand to Attend.
The dinner viii begin with re-
ception at $50 o'clock. which will be
an interesting feature. Fifteen recep-
ton committees have been appointed
to look after the invited guests who
Will number 500 or more, while there
will be as many more members Of the
Chamber, making a total of about
1000.
Everybody is expected to come in his
business suit. The dinner and recep-
ton will be entirely informal. and
members and guests will go directly to
the Auditorium from their Offices and
should be there promptly at $50 p. IN
Apparently there is an impression
among few of the guests who have
been invited that this is a subscrip.
ton dinner, and that there is a charg,

error; those who are invited are ex.
pected to come as the Chambers

have been sent them so that it NAV be

dieation that it is going to be one of
the most interesting and enjoyable oc-
casions Atlanta has known in some
time.
