GREAT INTEREST
Aroused and Earnest Effor,
VIII be Pa. Forth to Win
, Commercial Prestige, for the
Queen City by the Exploita-
tion of her Resources.

j The commercial destiny of the
future city of Viniia. has been en-
trusted TO the new Commercial
club. The history of this city az
commercial centre may be said
. to date from the inception of that
| organization. That the elected Of
ficisls fully realize the resources
Of Vinita and her future possibili-
ties is best shown in their own
words.
EN- .Ratcliff, president: "Many
opportunities 10 obtain the loca-
tion of capital in THE city have
been lost by the lack of concen-
traled effort on the part of our
business community. The value
OF the new organization is only
limited by the amount Of concen-
traied, Intelligent effort put forth
by The members. Not only IN the
extension of outside trade rela-
tions, bat in the improvement OF
local conditions. the clubs in
'fluence will be most potent. feel
assured that splendid results will
.<follow this long needed alliance of
interests"
w. r. Bsdgett, director: "A
right move in the right direction,
and one destined to produce
splendid results. The absence Of
such an organization has hereto
fore been a most serious handicap
TO the extension of the trade rela.
tions of this city. The natural
resources OF Viniia have not been
properly exploited, nor local con-
diiions properly attended TO. The
question of this city's future, rests
largely with the new organiza-
tion."
w. II. Martin, treasurer: "Vi-
nita's commercial future, feel, is
assured, by the organizing of our
business community. In an effort
to properly exploit. what we pos.
sess, and TO take proper care of
our local trade"
w. II. Dsrrough, Vice Presi-
dent. Every city that has won
commercial prestige has done SO
largely through the efforts Of sim
liar organizations. The absence
OF concentrated effort BY the bus
iness community in this city has
long been apparent in the neglect
Of The highways leading into the
city. A day's rain cuts off all
communication with a populous
district. Such neglect of local
conditions would not exist if a |
club Of this character had been or
eanized before. The extension of
outside trade relations and the To-
cation of capital in this city will
follew the alliance OF the various
interests for The common good"
DR.. Oliver Bagby, director:
"The purposes of the club are ad-
mirable, and improved trade con-
ditions will speedily respond to
the earnest efforts Of the club |

SENDING OUT REGULARS.
Supplying Places in the Philippines Of Home
Coming Volunteers.
(By the Associated Press.) }


Washington, March 15.-The officers of
the Adjutant Generals and Quarter
masters Departments are devoting their
attention to the sending of regular troops
to the Philippines to take the places OF
the volunteers who are being brought
home as rapidly as the transportation
facilities of the Government will permit.
The main object of the officials is to
prevent any material decrease in General
MacArthur's army of 10000 men, There
are about 10000 regular troops in the
Orient, including those now in China. In
order to keep the strength up to $4,000
it will be necessary to provide about 2O,-
600 fresh troops from the United States
before the first Of July.
The transports Indiana, Meade and
Pennsylvania will leave San Francisco in
day or two with battalions of the Tenth
infantry, Fifth cavalry, also battalions OF
five new regiments. Arrangements also
have been made for the departure Of a
number of other vessels between now and
April 18th. Thse vessels will be laden
with regular troops, consisting of newly
organized regiments or of home battalions
of regiments serving in the West Indies
or the Philippines.
Satisfactory progress is reported in the
transportation of the volunteer troops
from the Philippines to San Francisco
The officials of the War Department are
confident of their ability to execute the
plan of discharging the entire volunteer
army in the United States before the first
of July next, without materially reducing
the number and effectiveness of the mill
tary forces in the Philippines.

Labcr Conditions in Georgia.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PreSS.)
Washington, March 15.-O. B. Stevens,
Commissioner of Agriculture Of the
State of Georgia, testified before the In
dustrial Commission today concerning
the progress of farming in that State
which he said had been especially mark
ed during the past two years. In that
time there had been, he said, great
advance in the use of improved ma
opinion that the best remedy against
crime and vagrancy among the adgicul-
tural laborers was better churches,
better schools and improved mail IA
cilities-in other words, greater en-
lightenment. The maximum wages for
SIS per month and, the minimum $5
with house. fuel, etc furnished free.
He had, he said, never seen a time when
a man who wanted work could not get
it. There was no disposition to prevent
colored tenants becoming owners of
their farms, and there were many in
stances of such ownership. Nor was
there any disposition on the part of
white land owners to oppress colored
tenants or laborerS, but Mr.. Stevens
considered the tenant system bad
one. He also said that Georgia is not
! seeking labor immigration, but that the
State does invite immigrants who will
buy land and make homes and become
