THE AWAKENING SPIRIT.

The Commercial Club of Birmingham did good days work yesterday afternoon in bricf, but most interesting session. The AGE HERALD presents full proceedings of the meeting in an notber column and invites careful perusal by those of our people who were not so fortu nate as to be present, that they may know there is a wide-awake and an awakening spirit in our midst at this, the beginning of the new year.
 Iu unity there is strength, and the AGE- HERALD has always believed that an asso- citation of our business men, in body like the Commercial Club, would accomplish great things for Birmingham. The club has already done good work, but 1t IS evil dent that it begins this year with stronger purpose than ever, and with more hopeful prospects to build up and develop this city and section.
 While everything that was done yester- day were steps in the right direction and command the indorsement and approval of all our people, the movement inaugurated for the establishment here of cotton mill is regarded as of most importance. This looks like business; and it is pleasing 10 notice that Mir. B. B. Conner, man of financial strength and irrepressible energy, has agreed to lead in support of the enter- prise.
 Birmingham ought 10 have cotton mill. Yea, dozen of them; and now that the tidal wave of development on this particu- lar line is sweeping through the South it is well that our people have caught the in. spiration, and will not be left in the race for local supremacy. No other point in the world is better suited for cotton factories. A great Southern railroad center, with the cheapest fuel, cheap labor and healthy climate, nothing has been in the way of adding cotton factories to this hive of iron and coal industry except the lack of de- termination and organization on the part of our home people. We have waited long for foreign capital. Now it is found that this capital will not lead, but will follow in the great work. Birmingham has learned that she will have q cotton factory when, with her own money, she builds it. After she thus proves her faith and demonstrates her ability, and that great profits will accrue. capital will not be slow to come from a distance and add force to the industrial wheel which is to carry Birmingham to that position in the front rank to which her great natural ad- vantages entitle her. Let the work go on.
