Atlanta, savannah and Jacksonville Under ConsideratHon.
 A conference win be held in Atlanta Friday between the packers of the Wells theatrical eIrcuN at which time plans will be considered for the es- tablishment of new houses in Savan- nah. Atlanta and Jacksonville.
 At that time the architects for the syndicate will be present and submit plans. Wherever the lots are so that 1t is possible to do so the general plan of the Montgomery house win be fol- lowed in constructing the new thea tres. The Montgomery house is q fac-simile of the Evansville Indiana. house, and is considered by Mir. Wells the very best that it is possible to com struct.
 The old Bijou theatre in Atlanta, formerly Degfve's Columbia. on Mari etta street. Is to be torn away and an office building put there. The new brary. just off Peachtree street.
 In Savannah Mr. Wells will have a theatre after several years effort to secure a site. Savannah boasts of the second oldest theatre in the United States. It has been burned on two oc- casions, but the same walls have been used in rebuilding. There never has eoen put one LhSAtEe tuSEc, ana tt IS looked upon as a splendid field for the opening of another play house. Mir. Wells has secured lot not very far from the present theatre there.
 So far no plans have been developed for the disposal of the old Montgomery Theatre. Mir. Wells, when seen here during his last visit, stated that this matter will not be settled for the pres- ent. It was intimated that his plans for this house depended largely on the success he met with in completing his circuit of theatres through Georgia and into Florida. Now that meeting has been called for the purpose of arrang- iiaR the details for the completion of this circuit it is believed that there will be some definite action taken to- wards the opening of the old theatre here.
 It is certain that the house will not be opened this season. but Is is ru- rnored that it wilIsbe used next season for the Bijou circuit attractions and all popular price shows.

 Washington, Feb, 1S.--Speaker Can. non's Presidential boom received an impetus in the House of Represen- tatives today when Mfr. BoutelIe, his colleague from Illinois, brought the subject to the fore as the climax of a half hour speech. His remarks were based on the fact that today was the thIrty-fourth anniversary of Mir. Cannon's first speech in the House.
 Mir. Boutelle spoke with enthusiasm, and when he closed with the remark that within the next few months 'sThe plain people of the country would join the voters of Mir. Cannon's district in conferring upon him the nations final honor." the Speaker was accorded a great demonstration. Keen disappoint- ment was felt on all sides when the Speaker made no reply. He stepped from thes rostrum and amid cheering retired to his room while the House considered pension bills.
 Most of the day was taken up by a discussion of the bill to provide for taking the next census. Its consider ,atfonS had not been concluded when the House at 4:27 o'clock adjourned.

 The session of the National Conser- walton Commission is the first in the history of the nation The Southern Commercial Congress is the first in the history of the south. Such week can. therefore, never again occur and in the language of Gov Hoke Smith of Geor- gia who has issued a proclamation re- garding this great week, "They (the meetings) should be without parallel in the commercial study and development of all the states and of Georgia (his state)."
 Alabama needs not to boast regard ing its resources; the resources were placed here by divine parpose and were here before men trod the earth. But the men of Alabama need to rise to full CT unders tanding regarding the meaning of the resources placed in this state. No completer opportunity for securing in spiration with regard to our certain tre- mendous destiny and future has ever been offered than is offered in the Southern Commercial Congress
 Amid the inspiration of numbers,

The men of Alabama should be there; for no state properly under stood can create a greater enthusiasm. We urge as many men to go as can pos sibly spare the time. We call upon those who remain at home to follow closely the proceedings of the congress and thus secure a part of its inspiration. Respect fully. BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
