MEET With SUCCESS.
EXCURSION COMMITTEE EyCouR.
AGED by CONTRIBUTIONS.
THE RAILROADS WITHHOLD THEIR AID.
Have Not ns Yet Furnished Necess
sary Informntion-Expec to Rsu
Trnin from Greenville, :. c., Here
Over $1,000 Already Raised.

The Trade Excursion Committee OF the
Chamber OF Commerce met at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, when the interesting
announcement was made that the fuli
amount necessary to charter train had
been raised. IL Is a glorious precedent
that the public spirit Of Richmond's mer-
chants should have manifested itself in
so substantial manner that in less
than foriy-eisht hours so considerable q
sum as 5000 should be subscribed 10 a
movement intended to promote closer re-
lations with the out-of-town merchants.
For the object OF these excursions n
not merely to induce men TO come Ia
Richmond for the purpose OF pressing
our wares upon them. but primarily tn
improve the acquaintance OF our mer-
chants with the mercantile communltw
Of the South; then TO entertain them. and
incidentally, 70 show them the ex-
tent OF our manufactures and the quality
Of the goods that are turned out from
this city.
THE CASH ACTUALLY IN HAND. 3
The 5000 raised by the Excursion com-
mittee has not merely been promised. ID
Is already I'm tho hands OF the COMMITTEES
10 be used for the purpose indicated, and
the field has not been more than half
covered. The committee expresses ths
earnest hope that the jobbers and manu-
facturers who have not been seen I'D to
this time by their repre- esentatiyes, viii
not wait for a formal call, but will rally
to their assistance and help to carry
out the project. which will demonstrates
frb L. alr
van OF the progressive movement which
IS sweeping the country.
THE RAILROADS NOT AIDING.
The Excursion Committee. however.
has met with encouragement at the OUT
set from most unexpected source. The
railroads have evinced no desire TO co.
operate, and Mr.. l.. H. Morris. chairmau
OF the committee. said yesterday that
they were even Withholding Information
which Is absolutely essential, and with
out which the plans formulated by the
| committee may have TO be abandoned al
| together Tho arrangements OF the COM
| mittee as they stand at present, pro-
vide for an excursion train from Green's
villc. s. c., which viii stop at all inter-
mediate branches and junction points.
| The visitors will have tho privilege OF a
| four-days' stopoyer In this city, and du-
ring that time they Will be entertained
publicly by the Chamber OF Commerce,
and privately by the merchants.
The committee has been heartily con-
graduated on It's efforts, which have met
with so much success. Tho chairman
said yesterday that the members felt
very much encouraged over the great
success which has attended their cam
vass as indeed. they have every reason
| to be.
