START WORK IN SPRING.
Fund for Southern Commercial Con
gress Building Now $500, 900.

1t is thought that work can be started
on the home of the Southern Commercial
Congress in about three months. There
was another meeting of the executive
committee yesterday, AT which it was
announced that the subscriptions toward
the 81 100000 building fund had reached
100000. With this sum in hand it is
thought it will be comparatively easy to
raise the rest of the money.
The site of the building has not yet
been selected, but it is intended to have
ii in the central part of the city. The
plans are TO be submitted to competition
among the prominent architects of the
country. but the preference of the mem
bers is naturally for some southern firm
II was stated that one of the requisites
OF the work would be to have all the ma
teral come from the south. There is an
abundan nee of southern building material
to be had, and it was said that it would
be d fine advertisement for the south to
have the stone. the lumber, the cement
and the iron all come from that section
OF the country.
The Press Club and the newspaper cor
respondents have all taken kindly TO the
idea of making the new building their
home, and several of the correspondents
have arranged to take rooms in the new
structure as soon as it is completed
