TO BE BIG MEETING
COMMERCIAL CLUB TO HOLD TsI-
 P0RTANT SESSION.
Manufacturing Committee to submit Plan to Greatly Poster Growth f of Montgomery by Attracting
 Factories to the City.

The meeting of the Commercial Club Thursday night promises to be largely attended. It Is the regular meeting of the club. postponed from Tuesday night at the request of the Manufac- turing Committee, which desired time to mature a plan to submit to the club tomorrow night.
 The Manufacturing Committee is composed of representative business men They are John W. Tullis. Michael Cody, R. J. Chambers, M. L. Greil, J. M. Kennedy, E. B Joseph M. Sabel George A. Thomas and Massey Wilson They represent almost all lines of business enterprise and for over year have had as matter for special con sideration the location of factories at Montgomery.
 Recently a plan developed which has been in vogue in the North with mark ed success, and the committee believes that its adoption in Montgomery will ment and industrial growth than all the plans that have ever been tried.
 Factories, with their force of skilled employees on weekly pay rolls. are a material factor in the growth of the retail trade of city. Factories, con verting the raw material of section into a valuable manufactured product. increases the value of our lumber. hardwoods. cotton. clays, fruits and vegetables. Factories, sending out Mont gomery- made goods over the coun- try, are powerful advertisers of the city.
 A city that simply merchandises, grows but slowly.l It is the manufac- turing city, which combines raw mate rial and labor into local goods, which grows from day to day.

HOLD FIRST MEETING
LIVESTOCK SANITARY BOARD TO
 HOLD SESSION.
Officials EDtrusted With Fight Against Texas Fever Will FOEmulate Rules and Regulations at
 Capitol Today.

The State Livestock Sanitary Board. a recent creation by the Legislature. will hold its first meeting today, when it will effect formal organization.
 The board is composed of Hon. J. A. Wilkinson, the Commissioner of Agriculture, pr. C. A. Cary, the State Veterinarian. and pr. w. H. Sand- CTS, the State Health Officer. all of whom are ex-officio members. MT. Wilkinson Is chairman and pr. Cary Is secretary of the board.
 The board at It's meeting today will adopt the rules and regulations neces- sary for a performance of its duties. which comprise the prevention of dis eases among stock in the State To &C., complish this purpose it has authority to examine stock in Alabama. to en- force a quarantine against diseased stock and to take such other precau- tions as 1t deems eXpedient. The board Is authorized to employ agents to as- sist in the work.
 The bill creating the Live Stock Board was one which was heartily en- dorsed by the livestock men of Ala | bama. The industry has assumed pro- | portions in Alabama that would nave | been. thought impossible a few years ago. Perhaps more than five times as much money is invested in Alabama livestock as was invested. in it five years ago.
 When cattle raising began assuming importance as a great industry. the cattle growers found that they were l greatly handicapped by Texas fever. or tick fever" To the cattle raiser | this is almost as disastrous as the boil weevil to cotton growers. This diff ference exists, however-"Texas fever | can be successfully fought by an in | telligent quarantine and by intelligent 1 treatment. The bill was passed creat- 1 ing the Board. the business of which is to fight ticks and Texas fever" ir

These official documents and papers, covering the entire histo- ry of the State from 1918 to the pres ent time will be arranged as speedily as possible and will be thus made easily accessible for the public,
 The archives include many very cu- rious old documents, and will prove valuable to the antiquarian and stu- dent, besides they will be of service to many people who for business req sons desire information concerning the States history The subject Of archive preservation, the report states is one that Is more and more cemand- ing public attention and the States all over the union are taking steps look. ing to the better care of their oncia! records Many States have modelled their work on the Alabama plan
 It was further reported that the de- nartment had for some time been as sembling all the surplus printed decu- ments about the Capitol for the purpose of asserting and arranging them so as to enable libraries and individuals to make up sets for purposes of study, in- vestigation, etc.
 The Director enumerated the number of activities which are at present en- gazing him. He said the department was undertaking to make absolutely complete and full historical collections of materials bearing upon the history of Alabama, a collection of historical portraits and views. and museum collection. He referred to his work in the compilation of the official archives of the State, and the preparation of various bodies of historical material for publication.
 Attention was called to the action of the Legislature in recently increasing the duties of the department by Nre- quiring it to care for the promotion of public and school libraries. and the col lection of body of reference material for the use of the people of the State. The report stated that 1t would be the purpose of the department to meet the new duties. and the cooperation of every one was solicited.
 The report was we'll received by the trustees and qualification was expressed at the very satisfactory condition and progress of the work accomplished. The report was on motion, adopted without opposition and was ordered filed.
 Colonel John. a member of the Leg islative Committee. reported informally that the Legislature had been generous to the department, increasing the sal ary of the Director from $1,S00 to $2,500, providing a stenographer for the department, and increasing the maintenance fund of the department from $2.500 to $3.000. The report was received and the committee continued.
 Dr. Owen was then reelected Direc- tor of the Department. There was no opposing candidate for the position and the election was unanimous.
 Dr. Owen has been director of the department since it's incipiency in March, 1901. He came to Montgom- cry from Birmingham, where he had been engaged in the practice of law, and has since devoted himself entirely to the work of the department.
