NEW LIFE GIVEN THE
CITY CHAMBFR OF
COMMERCE.

The board OF directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce had largely attend
ed and wholly unprecedented meeting,
so far as enthusiasm was concerned, in
the office of the Peoples Loan and Ex-
change bank last Friday afternoon.
The purpose of the meeting was to re-
organize the body and lay plans for some
earnest work. 1t was decided to begin
again at the bottom and re- enroll all
the members and solicit new ones on
the revised basis of membership fees,
which are now only Sc. 90 year instead
of $1,000 as heretofore. A committee
consisting of MesSrs. w. r. McCuen,
w. H. Dial, r. A. Cooper, w. II. Wash
ington and +. p. Minter was appointed
to solicit members and collect dues.
The matter of quarters for the com
mercial body was considered and it was
decided that if fifty members were
secured rooms would be rented and fur
nished. This, it was thought, would
tend to increase interest and prove an
organizing force. The rooms will be
rented for over the required fifty have
been enrolled. Just where the location
is to be is matter yet undecided.
The committee on membership met
with remarkable success in their efforts
as Mr.. McCuen said: "ThiS time we had
only to place the list before the people
and they enrolled; before, there was a
whole lot of explaining to do. " Presi-
dent Aiken also is much encouraged by
the enthusiasm shown in the rc-organi-
zation of the almost extinct body.
Following is the agreement signed
and the list of members enrolled up to
Tuesday at noon:
We the undersigned hereby agree to
join the Chamber Of Commerce for the
year l9O8-9. Agree to payas dues to
said organization the sum of $500 per
year, payable quarterly in advance.
When so or more members are OBJ
tanned and sufficient funds to meet the
expense, that suitable quarters shall
then be opened for the use Of the
Chamber:
