EVERETT TO ATTEND
MEETING At MACON
Americas To Be Represented
AT Meeting To Arrange
Southern Exposition

Henry P. Everett, secretary of
the Chamber Of Commerce, has ac-
cepteds an imitation to attend a
meeting of business men at the Ho-
tel Dempsey IN Macon Friday, at
which plans FOR holding a great
Southern exposition will be dis
cussed. This meeting has been
called by F. Roger Miller, secre7
tary Of the Macon Chamber Of
Commerce, and will be attended by
representatives of these organiza-
tions from all over Georgia. The
business before the gathering is to
select Georgia's representation in
the Southern exposition, which is
to be held in New York.
This exposition, which is pro-
posed to cover the states south of
the Potomac and Obi drivers, is
scheduled to be held in the Grand
Central Palace in New York City,
beginning on January 10, 1925,
and continuing through January
81. F. Roger Miller is chairman of
the advisory board.
In the Grand Central Palace over
100000 square feet of exhibit
space will be divided between the
Southern states. 1t is proposed
that the exhibits shall include dis
plays of commerce, industry, agri-
culture, transportation, and nat
ural resources.
The object of the exposition is
mainly to acquaint the people in
the vast area tributary to New
York-with its 100000 people
within radius of so miles, but of
course extending in its influence to
the entire East-with the marvel
Gus progress the South is making
and the foundation on which it is
building.
This exposition is being organic
ed in the South; it will be directed
by Southern men and handled by
them, and in this respect the ex-
hibit of Southern energy, and
Southern enterprise, and Southern
capacity, will be equally as impor-
tant in, influencing the people of
the North generally as will be the
exhibit of material things.
