 Impressed with the wide enthusiasm which the movement for city of 100000 has been greeted by the people of Montgomery, convinced of the ad- which will come to Montgomery, James s. Pinckard suggests that in- stead of raising the sum of S10.0oo. the tee raise the sum m of s5o.50o for the glory of Montgomery.
 To show his faith and earnestness in the suggestion Mir; Pinckard. speaking pledges s1, 900 to the 5o.0oo fund. The company has already pledged s100 to mttne the F9n a sne to F. P, Glass of the Campaign Commit tee. MT. Pinckard says that undoubt- edly tio.ooo can gring great good te attractions, but he points out that with that sum at hand. the most that can be done must be done through advertise hand sites for factories could be se- cured and convincing inducements could be offered for the owners of fac
 In full the letter of Mir. tPinckard is as follows:'
 Montgomery, Ala. March 31. 1906. F. P. Glass. Esq, Chairman:
  couple of days, but other engagements have prevented. As a member of your canvassing committee for Greater fae ssa We ahoud wh amounv to be raised from s1O.0oo to $560.O80---and continue our efforts un- til the latter amount is raised.
 I have been impressed with the spon- taneity and cheerfulness with which the small merchants and men of small means have responded to this call. and of moneyed men, and larger property owners.
 This latter class must be men of good judgment, and if we will convince in this movement, and, second. of the advantages to result to Montgomery from the accumulation of this fund. two thirds vote of the direct DTS of the Club for the good of the city,, "t would, in my opinion, be much easier 10 in- crease the amount. to $50.ooo than 1t has been to raise the $1o.oooo already
 There are men on our list who have $25, who could increase their better investment than if they bought cotton at cents per pound and sold
 remind you that this class of our given very little attention to this move ment, and practically no encourage ment. I am firmly of the opinion that if we present 1t to them in its true ing all movements for locating manu- featuring enterprises here, the amount of money we could raise would be prac- once. once and for ali. establish new era for our town, and would soon give 1t that industrial feature which 1t must take on. in order to grow, and expand as it is entitled to do, by virtue or it's natural advantages.
 This movement has grown on me 10 such an extent, that feel we have only begun it. and that all we have accom- plished up to date. is to make an op-- portunity for greater things. A great many of our subscribers up to date have been liberal ones, and few, owing to their pardonable p enthusiasm1, nth Sann1s who really own Montgomery, however, have not been touched. and these are the men on whom we ought to rely Tor
 With S10.000 we can. do little more than advertise. This, of course. will do us a world of good If we had sub stantial sum in addition to this, now at the threshold, and show our appre- citation of their coming by aiding them in business way.
 would suggest that the Secretary of the club obtain twelve months options on factory sites and other property suitable for industrial purposes. and that the club take Sucn Otner steps dS naturally suggest themselves, to carry out the general idea of the enterprise. If you agree to the above suggestions. and feel inclined to continue the move ment until S50.000 Is raised, we will, when half that sum is raised, increase our subscription for Capitol Heights from s1O0 to $1.000, and I will pledge my hearty assistance as member of your canvassing committee, in raising this money, which will place Montgom- cry on the high road to future great ness. Very truly,
 J. S. Pinckard.
 MT. Pinckard has been one of the most active of the canvassers for the 1910 Fund and he is quite familiar with the way in which the people of Mont gomery are arousing themselves to work for the good of the city. The suggestion in itself reflects the fine public spirit which has become so mani fest in Montgomery.
 No general canvass was undertaken yesterday as planned, but the two or three committeeman who were out dur ing the day got most satisfactory re- turns for their work In all the sum of $160 was raised.
 The subscribers were as follows: Csapifa1 Citv Laundry .. .. q. .. $25.OO
