Henry Goldman Potter, seventh
Protestant Episcopal bishop of the do
cese Of New York. was a native of
Schenectady, N. Y. He had been the
head of the New York diocese since
1887, succeeding his uncle, Bishop
Horatio Potter. In addition to the
heavy duties of the oversight of the

took an active part in movements of
national importance. The bishop did
much to promote more cordial rela-
tionship between employers and en-
ploye and when occasion demanded
lent his efforts to improve the stand
ard of municipal government in New
York city. Conditions of immortality
on the East Side, New York, we're
brought to his attention several years
ago and in sharp sermon he called
public attention TO lax condition of
municipal direction which resulted in
the overthrow of the Tammany adj
ministration and the election of Seth
Low, president of Columbia college,
to the Office of mayor.
A few years ago Bishop Potter mar
ried Mrs. Elizabeth Scriven Clark, his
second wife, whose summer home Is
in this city. Bishop Potter was the
son Of Rev. Alonzo Potter. who was
consecrated bishop of Pennsylvania in
1915, and was educated at the Episco-
pal academy in Philadelphia and the
theological seminary in Virginia He
was ordained priest in 1853. Bishop
Potter wrote extensively of his travels
abroad and was member of masy
we'll known New York clubs.

WEDNESDAY
 SUMMING UP Commercial Men to As
 sembIe Here. TO HEAR REPORT OF MR DAVE Meeting in Local Club to Review
 Southern Congress. States Leading Factors in Promoting Commerce Are Expected to Come
 to Montgomery on the
 Occasion.
TO HEAR REPORT OF MIR DAVE

Preparations are being made for a big gathering of commercial men at the Montgomery Commercial Club Wednesday night when Secretary Dave will make his official report on the results of the Commercial Congress in Washington and what 1t means to the South. MT. Dave returned to Mont gomery Saturday night. but after his strenuous work of the last few months. especially during the week past. he has expressed desire for a few days rest before making his report.
 President Forbes of the club has in- vited the officials and members of chambers of commerce and boards of trade throughout the State to attend the meeting. besides all interested To- cal business men. It is expected sew eral hundred of the States leading factors in promoting commerce will be present and some of them will speak after hearing the report of MT. Dave.
 The Southern Commercial Congress was carried through to an unprece- dented success, and the business men believe 1t is time now to get in the swim of the rising tride and make the best of the flood. From now on week. ly meetings will be held at the Com mercial Club and the rapidly growing interest in reawakened, commerce will be kept alive as it has never been be- fore. An innovation that Is contem- plated is the bringing here from time to time of leading men in the several dominant commercial interests in which the South Is interested and have them speak to gath erings of business men.
 Especial attention will be paid to railroad development and from the general talk of the members of the club the roads will find staunch friends in the Southern business men, dema- gogues to the contrary notwithstand- ing.
