BIRMINGHAM AGEHERALD. TUESDAY, MAY IA, 189k

has been such as to give 1t name and standing throughout the country, and 1t is really the most frequently and favor ably referred to of any commercial or ganzation in the south. Every member may feel just pride in this fact, and it should serve to give renewed zeal and ac- tivity for the coming year.
 The great and pressing want of this city is still along the line on which the club has directed some of it's best ener- gies, and that is a stronger sentiment in favor of home patronage for home in dustries, home institutions and home merchants. Such a sentiment will bring prosperity to Birmingham more speedily and permanently than is possible other wise. Such a sentiment will sustain the enterprises already here, and with these prosperous others will come without seek ing. If the club can make the value of this sentiment understood and acted upon in this city 1t will have accom- plished a result worth all the efforts and energies expended therefor. In reality so vital is this sentiment that Birming ham may not hope for development or prosperity without it. Respectfully sub mitted, N. F. THOMPSON |

Just what progress has been made in the matter of permanent in- huence of the club at home and abroad is now a part and portion of the his tory of Birmingham, and will so be con sidered throughout the future. That the growth of the club has been healthy and substantial is best shown from the fol- lowing data of ofimembership and finances:
 There were on the books of the club in good standing year ago 14S; ad- mitted during the year, 245. First total, 393
 Number withdrawn during the year, including the Philhedonians, eighty-five; number dropped for non-payment of dues, twenty-eight. Total, 113.

But This Mineral District,
 Jefferson county-is more interested in a first-class exhibit than any section of this commonwealth. There should be immediate prosecution by this club of the work of raising a sum of money com- mensurate with the benefits we expect, not only to put the project of the state having a worthy exhibit beyond all ques- tion, but to inspire Alabamians every where with generous emulation of our example.
 Woe to Alabama, and woe especially to this club, if this movement toward Atlanta shall falter and fail The loss of a great opportunity to induce popula- tion and wealth to fructify Alabama, great as it will be, will be incompara- ply small beside the total wreck of pub lie spirit in the lamentable demonstra- tion that the people of Alabama and Bir- mingham cannot seemingly organize and unify for any purpose. It must not be.
 We Should Be Up and Doing.
 Fair freight rates are absolutely requi- site to the healthful development of our commerce and any considerable increase in the number of our smaller industries. Then fair freight rates Birmingham must have and will have if this club shall act wisely. Our purpose can best be accom- plished it seems to me, by calling the att tention of the redlroad companies to specific instances of discrimination. rath- CT than by making a general onslaught on the entire tariff sheet. am convinced that in most cases the railroads, from self-interest, will make the proper rate.

Stop that Cough!

It may lead to serious conse- quences. Cough remedies will not do it, because it means more than a simple cold. Scott's Emulsion of Cod-1iver Oil with Hypophosphites will do it, and at the same time will build up and fortify the system against further attacks.
 We are putting up 5o-cent size for just these local diff culties. For ordinary Coughs and Colds that quantity will doubtless cure. If it is deep- seated 1t may require more.

The New officers.

After Secretary Thompson's report had been submitted a report of the inspectors of election was made in which the fol- lowing officers were declared elected for the ensuing year:
 President-Rufus N Rhodes.
 Vice-Presidents-B. F. Moore, F. Y. Anderson, J. Morgan Smith. M. V. Joseph, B. Steiner John w. Tomlinson, James A. Roy, T. L. McGowan, Frank P. O'Brien, B. B. Conner, w. G. Estes, w. J. Milner.
 Directors-R. D. Johnston, w. c. Shackleford, George F. Wheelock, E. H. Cabaniss, Oliver Chalifoux w. B. Leedy, s. w. Lee, N. E. Barker, H. H. Sinnige.
 Secretary-N. F. Thompson.
 Treasurer-James B. Cobbs.
 A committee was appointed and the new president escorted to the chair amid much enthusiasm and applause.
 President Rhodes immediately ap- pointed the following committee, whose duty it will be to appoint sub-commit- tees: T. L. McGowan, w. R. Sawyer and w. G. Estes, with Secretary Thomp< son added.
 The meeting then adjourned to an ad- joining hall, where an elegant repast was served by mine host c. H. Nabb.
 During the course of this banquet the new president was called upon and very gracefully responded as follows:
 PRESIDENT RHODES SPEECH.
 Gentlemen: Organized in the teeth of a panic, whose fury was so ferocious as to threaten universal bankruptcy to public and private treasury and spirit, struggling against a multitude of em- barrassments through a period of unex- ampled business depression for two long and weary years, the Commercial club of Birmingham still bravely lives.
 It lives to plan and to work for the ag- grandizement of the people of Birming- ham and Alabama and the south; it lives to make proclamation that Bir- mingham. like strong man after sleep shakes her invincible locks and bids de fiance to her foes within and without; it lives to herald to the world, in the next few months if God so will It,. the glori- ouS fruition of the hopes and prayers Of a great community, the embers of whose wavering expectancy have been kept aglow by this loyal band of dauntless and devoted men.
 Many and important matters press for ward for consideration, for adjustment, for assistance, for definite action by this club. Three particularly demand prompt attention.
 The people of Jefferson county should immediately be thoroughly canvassed, the subscriptions obtained and the money collected for Alabama's exhibit at the Atlanta exposition. Ten thousand dollars can easily be secured if the com mittee in charge of the subscription will but drive the work for week with the vim and enthusiasm they displayed for a day. With $10,000 in hand
 "The Alabama Building will become a reality and in it a worthy exhibit of the resources, pro- ducts, achievements and traditions of the whole state, whether any other coun- ty or city contributes or not, though am sure the people of Alabama will very generally assist. The more money at the disposal of the executive board, whose chairman is our own very valued fellow member, Maj Frank Y. Anderson, the grander and more productive of re- suits will be the exhibit. The commits sioner of agriculture will contribute

Other Speeches.

MT. B. F. Moore, ex-president of the club, was called upon. He thanked the members of the club for the many cour- tesies which had been extended to him. He was emphatic in his remarks that he would do for the future what he had done in the past to promote the in- terests of the club.
 Maj. Frank Y. Anderson was called upon next, and spoke of the great army of people which would come south this he would do in the future what he had seen there would be 100000 people come south, and that no other spot in the south offered the advantages to the farmer that Alabama does, because every bit of the products can be con stunned almost at the farmers door.
 MT. John w. Tomlinson was next, and he spoke upon the building and encour- agement of the smaller industries.
 Gen. R. D. Johnston followed next and talked upon the united efforts of the peo- pie and what the club could accomplish with everybody united. He wanted the railroads to deal fairly with Birmingham and to make freight rates that would do justice to us.
 Hon. O. w. Underwood addressed the members of the club and in the course of his remarks said that the Warrior river, ten miles distant, was navagable within forty miles of here, and that with littlG work the river could be made so that boats and barges could come within ten miles of Birmingham. Looking toward this end he said it was his intention to introduce a bill in the next congress asking for an appropriation for that purpose, and he asked the support of the citizens in the movement.
 sJphn w. O'Neill and Nat l.. Miller both made short speeches.
 zfAlderman Kettig in speech said that In regard to the city debt his sentiments had been expressed by President Rhodes. &Mr. T. l.. McGowan closed the pro- gfamme, and the club adjourned. Visitors Present.
