An Excellent Plan
For Southern Promotion.

Montgomery. Alabama, has wide
awake secretary of its commercial
club in the person of c. Grosvenor
Dave. He it WAS who played one OF
the principal parts in getting up the
Southern Commercial Congress which
recently gathered in Washington and
which held a most enthusiastic ses-
sion-one We hope, that will be big
with results.
And the hrst result, if carried out,
will be most significant and most inn
portant and will be far reaching in its
.beneficent influence upon the indus
trial development of this section. It
is now ON the program to erect in
Washington . large and attractive
building as a permanent home for or
ganized effort TO bring before the peo-
pie Of the country and foreigners visit
ing the capital city the wonderful re-
sources Of Dixie where designs for
promoting its growth and Influence
may be acted upon by representative
men from all parts of the Southland.
Or. an Mr.. DAVE put the matter in
a rece0t interview. The project is a
great ONCE building and auditorium
in Washington. Its rentals will be de-
voted TO the furtherance OF all com
mercial projects in the South that viii
aid in bringing this section into a
parity of development with the rest of
the United States. 1t will also be the
home of all Southern clubs. There
will be maintained there an exposition
of resources arranged in such a way
as TO hiring Immediate results. The
effort will be towards special studies
each great resource of the South being
assigned TO room. Those OF us who
have our hearts in this matter feel
confident that such cooperative
move will accelerate enormously the
great development that has already
come to the South
Mr.. Dave in the same interview de-
clared that subscriptions amounting to
| s250.00o of the s1.O0o.00e 1T is expect
&c to put in the building are already
in sight. which certainly lends prob
ability TO the hope that the plan viii
be carried out Southern cities should
! realize the importance of this project
and the press of the South should in
sllire the public TO make a giant effort
to secure the funds necessary for its
accomplishment
