URGE LEGISLATURE To
HELP STATE EXHIBIT
A Appropriation Needed For Our
State at Panama Pacific
Exposition

Whereas Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Florida, Alabama.
Tennessee and Kentucky together
with nearly all the other states and
most of the foreign nations of the
world are preparing to exhibit their
resources and products at the Pana-
ma-Pacitic International Exposition
to be held at San Francisco next
year, and
Whereas, Georgia is first in the
variety OF her products, second %
none in the wealth of her resourc s
and fourth in value of agricultural
products, and
Whereas, the said Exposition will
afford Georgia an equalled opportu-
nifty to advertise her advantages, to
attract investors and home seekers
and to extend the markets for the
products of our farms, factories, for
ests and mines, and
Whereas, failure on the part of
Georgia to make an exhibit would
be a detriment to our state, ap-
preaching in its effects, a calamity.
would prove a lasting embarrass-
ment and handicap in our develop
ment, would lower our standing and
prestige, and would iniuriously af-
feet the credit of our State at home
and abroad, therefore
Be it resolved that the Marietta
Chamber of Commerce gives it's most
hearty endorsement to the proposal
that Georgia make a strong exhibit
at the said Exposition, and we ask
the General Assembly to make a
liberal appropriation for said pur-
pose, and
We furher urge members from
our County and the Senator from
our district, to get behind this APP
preparation and help put it through.

large CROWD HEARS
JUDGE NAT. {. HARRIS
Candidate For Governor Spoke
at Court House Here on
Last Monday.

At the Court House on Monday at
one o'clock, an audience of between
seven and eight hundred citizens
from all sections of Cobb County ac-
corded Judge Nat E Harris, the vet
aran statesman from Bibb County,
an ovation hardly ever before equal
led in the history of this county.
Judge Harris was advertised to

on the hour, he came into the crowd
ed court room accompanied by
large delegation of his supporters
who had met him when he came in
on the car from Atlanta The meet
ing was called to order by Hon. E.
H. Clay, who presented Hon. w. J.
Manning, who in a ringing address
introduced Judge Harris as the man
on whom all true Georgians could
unite in elevatirg to the Governor 5
chair.
Judge Harris was in fine voice and
fettle. He presented to his hearers
his claims for their suffrage in a
clear and concise manner, and there
IS no question but that his speech
won him hundreds of votes in this
section.
After his address he was sur
rounded by numbers of his audience
who pledged him their votes and
support and assured him of this
County being in the Harris column
on the 18th of August.
Judge Harris left in the afternoon

The question of improved public
roads is the present time one of
the most vital problems with which
we have to DEAL" continued Mr.. Her.
man. There is no one internal i'm
proVement so necessary and essential
10 states progress and prosperity
as the betterment of it's roads. They
involve the public transportation
problem, which directly effects the
cost and pleasures of living, exchange
Oh commodities, valuation of property
and social and educational functions.
THE constant growth of our cities
and towns results in steady in
crease in the demand for everything
produced on the farm. This in
creased demand must be supplied to a
greater extent than ever before by
increasing the average production per
acre, and bringing the producer in
close touch with the consumer.
ITO within very short time ago
we were dependent upon the railroad
alone for the means of communica-
tion and transportation of food pro-
ducts. but 1t is now evident that If we
are not to maintain a monopoly in
transportation and leave the common
carrying business solely with the rail-
roads, we must have a modern and
improved system of highways Such a
system is essential to a States develop
ment. 1t is now more than ever a
necessity as factor for progress and
self representation to our present-day
civilization.
The farmer recognizes the need of
better roads and realizes how much

SANITARY HOSPITAL
IS NEED OF 1914
Recommended by Health Board
and May Be Erected in
Near Future

One of the urgent needs of the city
during 1914 is new sanitary hos
pital.
Health Officers Raunick and the
various members of the Board of
Health have Joined in a petition to
council for such a building. The old
structure in the vicinity of the aims
house was all right in its day, but the
building is nearly worn out and is in
adequate in size and appointments.
1t will not be long before 1t will
be unfit for use entirely. There is
plenty of ground surrounding the
present structure and the location is
good, but a new hospital along strictly
modern lines must be provided.
| Not only has the present structure
served Harrisburg for the past
eighteen years or more, but scores OF
cases have been treated there from
other towns, and the place has a re-
markable record for efficiency. So far
as is recorded only two deaths OF
smallpox patients occurred there, and
both of those We're complicated and
would not have resulted fatally had
there been no other disease with
which to contend.
There are several cases at the hos
pital now, one of them of very SER
ious nature, but it is hoped to pull
the patient through Careful nursing
dieting and the most modern method:

expense of the city, no charge being

tients to be removed there regardles.

such roads would contribute to his
comfort and prosperity. Good roads
save dollars and cents to the farmer
Bad roads make farming Improbable
and undesirable. Bad roads increase
the solitude of country life and limit
the opportunities of the farmer. Good
roads bring him in closer touch with
the center of progress. Good roads
enhance the value of farm land, beau
tify the country and advance the
farmer in his social, religious and edu-
cational development. Good roads are
the avenues of trade, which lessen
the transportation of marketable pro-
ducts. Good roads are the cords that
bind the city and the country to-
gether in thrift, industry and intelli-
gence. Good roads are the most po-
tent factor to make the American
farmer better, greater and happier

ENSIGN HAS DONE
GREAT WORK ON BIG
LOWER END DRAIN

One of the most important addi-
tions to the city's sewerage system that
Will be completed during the ensuing
year will be the great Spring creek
concrete drain extending from Nine
teenth street to the Susquehanna river
G. w. Ensign is the contractor.
The sewer is about three thousand
feet long by three feet wide and when
completed will be the longest piece of
engineering and contract work of it's
kind in this section. Harrisburg just
now Is in the midst of some of the
most modern kind of municipal im-
provements but it is doubtful If any
of these jobs can boast of more up
to-date appliances and construction
ideas than those adopted by Contrac-
tor Ensign.
Th sewer is a part of the system the
purpose of which is to drain the Thir-
teenth ward and other portions of the
Hill and the lower end of the city.
The drain will follow the course of
Spring creek which winds through the
Cameron parkway, crosses under Cam
eron street and the Philadelphia and
Reading, and the Pennsylvania Rail-
road tracks and empties into the river.
More than a third of the job is

Prosperous Business of
This City.

Harrisburg as a commercial and
industrial center has long since
been attracting attention from
not only the number, but the va
riety as we'll, of industries oper-
ating within the city limits. With
the variety Of industries in the
city one might expect to find an
up-to-date abattoir, or slaughter
and packing house. And in a
search of this kind one will not
be disappointed, for during the
past eight years, Mr.. Gross has
operated his slaughter and pack
ing house at Currant and Sayiord
streets. In conjunction with the
slaughtering and packing, Mr..
Gross also conducts two retail
businesses, at 43S Walnut street.
which he has had for the past
Is years; and one at 9TH and Say
ford. From the abattoir he also
supplies a wholesale trade with
fresh meats of every description,
The stock in which M. Gross
deals are the highest grades oi

Mr.. Gross personally super

New Ambulance Is
Also Very Badly Needed

The city ambulance service will be
| improved during the coming year IL
the physicians of the city, the Board
of Health and other influences have
any weight with councils.
For long time it has been realized
that the same vehicle that transports
dirty prisoners too and from the Jail
should not be used to carry sick and
injured patients to and from the hos
pitals of the city. There has been but
one combination motor for this pur-
pose and the result has been that
while the ambulance Is out doing duty
there is a call for the patrol wagon.
Or while it is playing the part Of po-
lice patrol, there will come a call for
an ambulance.
| The other day man lay seriously
injured for full hour at one Of the
mills Of the city awaiting the arrival
of the ambulance He was uncon-
scious and bleeding. There was little
hope for his recovery and what hope
there was lay in his getting to the hos
pital speedily. Nevertheless minutes
that meant chances of life to this poor
| fellow passed one after the other to
| the number of sixty before the ambu-
lance, away in another part of the
city doing hospital duty-arrived.
This is only one instance of the need
and an effort will be made this year
TO have council vote money for an
other ambulance, using the present We
hicle for police and emergency duty
lonly.
