New Government Building.
Next, the Government will be
forced, on account of already made
quate quarters in which properly to
conduct the postal business of At
lanta, to erect within the next three
or four years a new postoflice build
ing and the former Supervising Arch
tect, ]. Knox Taylor, has under con-
sideration the plans for a new post
office building. The erection of this
structure will then give to the Gov
eminent the present building for
purely administrative features and
the United States Court.
The Government is spending hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in the
enlargement of the Federal Prison,
which will probably be completed
within the next eighteen months, and,
as / have before said, this prison
when completed will be one of the
largest, most sanitary and well-ap-
pointed prisons in the world.

the farmers of my district annually
many thousands of dollars in the use
less expenditure of money for ferti-
lizers which are not adapted to the

Lauds Atlanta Chamber.
The above enumerated accomplish
ments for the Fifth District are not
iridescent dreams. The magnificent
organization, the Atlanta Chamber Of
Commerce, has been a source of in
spiration to me to work increasingly
for my district since l had had the
honor of being your Representative.
1t has always enthusiastically sup
ported me in every effort l have made,
not only for Atlanta but for the Fifth
District.
The recently organized Georgia
State Chamber of Commerce, through
it's able president, has already as
sured me of it's cooperation in any
efforts that our delegation may make
in behalf of the great State we have
the honor of representing.
With such able and enthusiastic
cooperation as has been given and
will be given by these two organiza-
tions, in conjunction with the in
fuence that is always generously
given by the Farmers Union and the
labor organizations of our State and
district for the enactment of any leg
islation that may be beneficial to the
interests of Georgia, it would be i'm
possible to predict what can be ac-
complished for Atlanta, for the Fifth
District and for Georgia.
