Suitable Location for the Clubs
Headquarters Another Meeting
Called, at Which All Business Pre-
lininary to Permanent organiza-
ton VIII Be Transacted.
The Commercial Club is no longer a
/ project Of uncertainty or doubt, but will
days or two weeks.
A full and satisfactory meeting Of the
committee which has the project in hand
was held last night at the office of Erwin,
duBignon & Chisholm, and nearly all the
matters preliminary to organization were
! arranged The meeting was called to
order by Mr.. j. B. Tiedeman, chairman of
the committee on organization, and state
ments were made by the members show
ing that they had met with a remarkable
degree of success in talking up the club
among the business men of the city.
The general expression from all the
members of the committee was to the
effect that such an organization was
needed and wanted, aud that there would
be no doubt Gifts success in entering upon
the arena of its work All the business
and professional men of the city seen by
members of the committee had endorsed
the plan and had announced themselves
ready and willing to so into it.
AN EARLY ORGANIZATION.
1t is more than probable, in fact almost
certain, that the next ten days will see
the club permanent organization. Over
100 names are already on the lists of the
committee, among which are many of the
leading business and professional men in
the city who have announced their inten-
ton of becoming mem ers; and many
others, while their expressions were
doubtful, have about decided to join in
1t seems assured that fully $50 will be in
attendance when the time for permanent
organization arrives
The committee in charge of the work
have gone at it with an earnestness which
will more than insure them the success
that such a project deserves to meet
with. Another meeting of the commit
tee will be held Saturday night at the
same place and all questions and matters
preliminary to permanent organization
will be disposed of.

w. S. Chisolm ana Maj. p. w. Meldrim
was appointed by the chairman to draw
up constitution and bylaws to be sub

night, and later TO the entire club'for. rat
itication when it meets for permanent or
ganizatiOn.
Another committee consisting of Messrs.
Geo. W. Tiedeman, B. II. Levy and w, j.
Lindsay, was appointed to select a suit
able place for the location of the head
quarters Of the club, their report to be
made also to the committee and to the en-
tire club. The club rooms will, of
course, be centrally located and well
! chosen, as the selection of headquarters
| has been placed in good hands.
The Commercial Club is to be Just such
an organization as Savannah has long
needed. 1t win supply long felt want,
which nothing else could fill. It's object
| is chiefly to advance the business interests
| of the city, and none but business ques-
| tons and discussions will enter into its
| deliberations. The idea is that it will be
the proper organization before which to
bring up for discussion and concerted ac-
tion any question for the good of the COM
mercial and business interests of the en-
tire city. United as a club, the bust
ness men can pull together for the
| benefit of the entire community. United
as a body, they can blow Savannah's
horn, and the blast will be louder, and
with their concerted and harmonious ac-
ton, they can carry out every plan that
will rebound to the credit of Savannah as
the chief of the South Atlantic ports.
