STATE MEETING IN
MACON CALLED FOR
sept. 29TH-30TH.

MACON, Ca, Sept 24-The second
annual meeting of the Georgia Cham
Der of Commerce, which is to be
held at Macon, September 10Th ane
SOth,s is enlisting so much interest
throughout the state as to cause MANY
to believe that the city of Macon will
be taxed to accommodate the crowd
ow rates have been granted by al,
railroads from all points on their lines
in Georgia.
In addition to the fact that there
will be undoubtedly a very full at
tendance of the membership at the
meeting, the special featcres which are
to come up at the meeting at Macon
apparently will draw 5000 to 5000
people from all parts of the state, who
would not ordinarily attend a regular
meeting of the Georgia Chamber OF
Commerce.
Georgia Mayors to Meet.
Mayor. Bridges Smith is calling q
meeting of the mayors of all the
towns in Georgia to have a confer.
ence with him at Macon after they have
witnessed run of the Georgia motion
picture film in order that they NAV
decide on details looking to the per
fecting of the film, and having the
proper representation of all Georgia
towns in the film. This meeting is
called not at the instance of the Geor-
gia Chamber Of Commerce, but on the
initiative of Mayor Bridges Smith, of
Macon, who became greatly interested
in the film, even before the inspection
run before the tremendous audience
which became so enthused over it at
the meeting in Atlanta on the 10Th |
The coming of the mayors will no
doubt bring many others along at the
same time from the various towns Of |
Georgia.

of Germany are still enormous. The

here, Ia an authority on every phase
OF crime and the Identification system
he has established at the reformatory
Is regarded model by all American
penologists. He was the first man to
establish the finger print identified
tion method in the central west.
THE parole system" Mr Campbell
said today. "as operated In Indiana,
has been, as whole, a satisfactory
success. Some men have been re-
leased who should have been confined
but for every such case there have
been ten other men paroled who have
been completely reformed by such hu-
name and intelligent treatment.
Most OF the young men we receive
are not naturally bad, by that l mean
they are not perverts or degenerates.
They are the boys who have been the
victims of bad companions and denied
proper home surroundings"

CALL FOR 100000
MEN NO SURPRISE
TO BRITISH PEOPLE

LONDON. June 16-Lord Kitche-
ner's latest call for 800. .060 more men
did not surprise those who have been
watching the latest developments in
recruiting. The number may look
comparatively small after the govern
ment vote of 100000 army. but the
men are wanted at once TO form new
divisions over and above the weekly
inflow Of 10000 or 100000 recruits. 1t
is now being said in auth ritative cir
cles that if the 100000 do not come
forward of their own accord they will
be drafted.
Up to now the best of Britain's
young manhood has pressed forward
with alacrity, too often to be treated
with official neglect and left to the
tender mercies OF mercenauy contract
ors, who have worked the canteen at
full profit while supplying the mini
mum of food.
These defects in organization have
become known. and they account in no
small degree for the problem of the
youth who is labeled "shfrkers."

speech. Chief among these were the
postmaster, the superintendent OF

and the retiring superintendent OF
mails. Mr.. Handley.
A contrast was shown in the at
tendance at the banquet and the at
tendance at the first banquet attended
by Mr.. Handley and his successor, Mr..

service at the same time. There were
then fifteen employees, less than one

two-thirds of its appraised valuation,

the company. Albert w. Gregg. The
company was thrown into receivership
by suit for $4,000 filed by the First
