NOTABLE SPEAKERS
FAMOUS MEN TO ADDRESS COM
 MERCIAL CONGRESS.
William J. oliver VIII Talk On sOuth's Building Material And Surgeon General Wyman WlIl
 Sneak,

Four more speakers of national rep- utation in their particular fields have accepted invitations to address the Southern Commercial Congress in Washington December and 8. As chairman of the committee on arrange ments. Secretary Dave. of the Mont gomery Commercial Club, spent months in selecting the most forceful and brainy men to speak on subjects pertaining to the future development of the south, and so far not one has refused.
 The congress Is now recognized by the leading men of America as the biggest thing the South has ever un- dertaken, as a whole, and national in. terests are watching the developments with the keenest attention. as letters received by Mir. Dave from every part of the country show.
 Surgeon General Wyman. of the De- partment of Public Health and Direc- tor of the Marine Hospital Service of the United States government. has &C., cepted the invitation to address the congress on the subject of health in the South. This department MT. Dave has wished to call especial attention to because of the erroneous ideas re- garding the subject prevalent in many quarters.
 pr. Wyman is recognized as one of the leading authorities on this subject throughout the country, because his work in supervising the hospital ser vice of the country has taken him to every point where there Is an army post. or where one may be established. He Is familiar with conditions from the Mexican border to the St. Croix River. along the coast. and has paid as much attention to inland posts and cities for several years. in his early career, he held a chair in the faculty of Clemson College. South Carolina. and his guide books on various hygenic subjects have been adopted by conti- mental governments as we'll as in the United States.
 Prof. c. W. Hayes. chief geologist of the United Staets Geological Survey, has accepted the invitation to speak on the subject of the geenral mineral wealth of the South and the rest of the country. Professor Hayes has in

Much interest is being manifested among the young men and young wo- men of the city in the coming Of Lu- thar M Tesh. field secretary of the world wide Baraca and Philathea Oh- ions. MT. Tesh Is a young man well m in Sunday School work ana very enthusiastic speaker e..
 He is at present touring the state in the interest of the Baraca and fhll- athea movement and Is being well re- ceived and well spoken of. It Is con sldered wonderful, the progress that has been made by this movement throughout the world. Starting with a handful of members in Syracuse, N. Y. only a few years ago. this orEani- zation now has a membership Of over 300. 900 young men and young women, having classes in far away China and Japan. For a long time there was an idea that this organization was ex- cIusively among the Baptlsts but this idea has long since been put aside and some of the largest classes are num- bered among the Methodists, Presby- terlans and Episcopalians.
 Mir. Tesh will speak at the follow ing places: Baraca Class of First Baptist Church, 9:30 a. m.; Dexter Avenue Methodist Church, 3:So p. m.; First Baptist Church, 7:30 D. m. He will speak to young men only at the morning service, and to all Sunday School workers of the city at the two evening services. All are cordially in- vited and urged to attend the meet ings.

his work become thoroughly familiar with the mineral conditions and re sources of all the States and his work is too we'll known to need further comment.
 Prof. L. c. alenn, of the Chair of Ge- ology at Vanderbilt University. has accepted the invitation to lecture on the Soutt's coal resources. subject he Is thoroughly in touch with through his former work as Q inning engineer and later through scientific research.
 William J. Ollivea, or Knoxville, Tenn. a contractor of national reputa- tion. will speak of the building ma terial available in the south. Ills work has brought him in cIose touch with the lumber. marble. lime. cement and other Southern, building material industries, besides his acquaintance with similar resources in other parts of the country.
 MT. Dave and his oflce stan are buried in work conhecred with the great undertaking. innumerable letters are pouring in, specimens are being sent and maps forwarded to him for approval and discussion. Shortly. if the rush continues, the working force will have to be again sub-divided in order to handle the immense amount of correspondence.
