zation, there was turned over to
me altogether the sum Of $3.50,
which constituted the first month $
dues Of twenty-nine members at
ten cents each, plus one dollar as
dues for ten months paid by S. B.

Of $500. These dues came from
the following members:

AS this organization ceased toex-
list almost Immediately after it was
established here, and the Lee

it's place, | have turned over this
money. $500, to Mr.. E. B. Mar
tin, WHO'S president Of this latter
Organization.
So Gar as have Knowledge this
accounts for every penny that has
been paid into the Lee County
Cha ,nber Of Commerce from its es-
Enlistment in the fall Of 1913 I'M
til the end of the year 1914. II
will be noted that none of those
connected with the work has spent
any money except for the specific
purposes Of the organization. By
that / mean that nothing has been
paid out for postage or stationery,
which has, of course, been neces-
sary for handling the work but this
expense has been borne by private
individuals SO that what money
was collected for the organization
might all be spent for carrying out
its work alone.
The work of the organization mas
been hampered by the absence Of
the president, Mr.. John M Hines.
who has unfortunately heen i'll and
has been away the greater part OF
the year. I have endeayored to
manage the work as intelligentIy
and as conscientiously as | could.
With the organization OF the Lee
County Fair Association, which
was effected last October, the need
for the Chamber Of Commerce is
not felt now as it was, though it
would be fortunate indeed if the
organization could be kept going.
In order that attention all inquir-
les addressed to the Chamber Of
Commerce, as these are constantly
coming more or less frequently, /
have given instructions for this
mail to be turned over to Mr.. J. G.
Pruett president Of the Fair As
