COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES.

MT. H. l.. Mckee, of Selma, president of the Alabama Commercial association, was in the city the early part of the week, and while here was an interesting visitor at the Commercial club headquarters, on Twenty first street. Mir. Mckee is a veteran work in the cause of industrial Alabama, and has mapped out programme for the state association that will go far towards push ing the greatest state in the union to the front in the march to industrial greatness. He is an affabie gentleman, hard worker and good organizer.
 That a cotton tie factory in Birmingham init of no doubt. Here are to be found cheap raw material and fuel and plenty of labor, both skilled and unskilled. Close proximity to the cotton fields and unexcelled trans portation facilities to all southern districts are other items not to be overlooked when considering the matter of 1 costs. @ The state ton annually, and the ties to bind these must come from other states. Not cotton ago the Commercial club received letter from South Carolina firm who wanted the address of some cotton tie factory in this city. The secretary had to answer that there was no such factory in the city or dis trict. The cotton season will be on us in less. than two months and again will the ties that should be made in the souths greatest iron district Will 1t be so another year?
 The appointment of committees, as an- nounced in the papers of Tuesday, seem to be good ones. The chairman or several or intention of calling their committees to- gether at an early date, when plans for active and persistent work in behalf of Bir- mingham will be formulated. If these are followed out they will add much to the grea tness of the city There should be no tagging, but every man in Birmingham should unite in the good cause and, with every shoulder to the wheel, push for the Magic City.
 
 Nearly 100 new names were added to the Commercial club membership list during first half of the year. and nearly half as many who had dropped out for various causes renewed their membership. This is a good showing for the club, which will no doubt double its membership within. the next year Every business and professional man. every man who has the interests of his city at heart should ally himself with the only organization in the city that is working for the whole people, and thereby for every individual In the prosperity of the city does the individual prosper.
