MANY INDUSTRIAL LEAGUES.
Almost fyery Town In the State Has an
Organization.

The organization Of industrial leagues
and boards Of trade is becoming a very
notable factor in the prosperity Of Mis-
slssiPpi This movement has doubtless
been stimulated TO a great extent by
the pronounced success IF the Columbus
Board Of Trade, which has recently Sc
cured three important manufacturing
Enterprises for that thriving city, and
IS now o~ndeavoring OBSCURE an electric
street railway.
The success Of Columbus has cncour-
aged the organization Of no less than
ten Industrial leagues in the State with
in the past six weeks. Greenwood is
another town which has achieved splcn-
did success through Il board Of trade
organization, and has served as an OK
ample for many communities.
In no less than a half dozen towns Of
She State calls have been issued within
the past few days for meetings Of the
business mon to perfect q board Of trade
or business league organization, in order
that the community may work in har-
mony for its own uplifting.
While these organizations u]ndoubted-
Iy aid in attracting capital to any COM
nunIty, the fact should not be lost sight

owned and was originally installed by
the city. That it is sclf-sustaining and
that it is eminently satisfactory. We
have a cheaper water rate and a great
deal more privileges than cities where
watcrworks is owned by private com
panics. From all the information we
can get, no progressive community will
now tolerate the service furnished by
private companies"

Hon, John Sharp Williams has
announced that he will support
Judge Alton b. Parker for the Dem
ocratic nomination for
WILLIAMS President. The Com
FOR PARKER monwealth has all
along believed that
Mr., Williams would make this
declaration as soon as he was re-
leased from the obligation Of silence
imposed upon him as Leader Of the
Minority in Congress.
Men Of Mr., Williams splendid
political attainments cannot fail 10
recognize that it would be suicidal
for the party to nominate another
advcnturer at the head Of the ticket.
aud 1t Is clearly apparent 10 those
WV nav gwen INC matter iIlAt
serious thought which its import
ance deserves that Judge Parker is
the logical candidate.
The Commonwealth takes no
stock in the rumor that the Hearst
contingency will bolt the conven-
ton in the event of Judge parker's
nomination, Mr.. Hearst has sense
enough 10 know that such action
would seriously cripple his several
newspaper propertles-that such ac-
ton would bring down upon him
the utter contempt of Democrats
everywhere, and that the rank and
hle OF his supporters would hesitate
to follow him from the fold.
Parker will be nominated at St,
He will have the support Of
reunited Democracy-and The |
Commonwealth believes that he will G
be the next President of the United Z
?

hrecnwood's welcome to the
Daughters of the C~onfederacy was
emphasized by the lavish hospitality
dispensed in the homes Of her citi-
zens. A happier, freer and more
generous people never blessed any
community anywhere-and no citi-
zenry every bestowed its affections
upon objects more worthy than the
numerous fair Daughters who have
just passed from within our gates.
