DECLINES TO JOIN
COMMERCIAL CLUBS REFUSAL TO
 NATIONAL COUNCIL.
Letter from Secretary Dave Explsias That Acceptance is Inexpedient Because ffs Funds
 arc Scarce.

The Commercial Club of this city has received . number of letters urging membership In the National Council oi Commerce. which was organised in the ofhce. of the Secretary of Commeres and Labor. December 5, 1901.
 The reply sent by the Commercial Club has more than usual interest be- cause 1t touches upon the great trads tendency that must react so favorabiy and so immensely upon the develop ment of Alabama
 Following is copy of the answer oy Secretary G. Grosvenor Dave:
 National Council of Commerce. New
 York, N r.:
 Gentlemen-This Club is again un- der obligations to you for urging meni- hership in the National Council of Commerce. While the Commercial Club Is the organized voice of 6 city whose growth in the past few years has been remarkable. the finances of the Club do not at present permit membership In . national body whose dues are as heavy as your own. I think 1t Is best to speak frankly on this subject and hence this reply.
 This Club Is undertaking a very large work for very remarkable State and in all it's endeavors Is far beyond local narrowness of view. It would be q pleasure. therefore, to he associated with Council of Commerce. taking It's inspiration from so eminent a gen- tien1an as Mir. Straus
 We are constantly watching na- tional moves from this point, as af- fecting the great destiny of the South, which is to be the inlet and exit of much of the commerce effecting the wonderful region between the Ale ghenies and the Rockies. The south- ward trend of trade, with which you are already familiar. is becoming dis tinctly accentuated year by year and this Club is stimulating other clubs of the state and of the Gulf region to . realization of the wonderful des- tiny that will open to view when the Panama Canal becomes a fact and a factor. Very sincerely yours.
 "G. Grosvenor Dave.

 forces Law.
 Phenix City. May 6-(Special. )-Tho life of W. H spier. Marshal of Phenix City, has been threatened. it is claim ed. because of his vigilance and act ivity in enforcing the law. especially the statutes relative to the sale of liquor.
 Some excitement was caused on Monday night by the rumor that if inc Marshal went to a certain public place that night while in the discharge of his duty. he would have trouble and would nossIbly be fired upon. The of hcer made the trip. however. and it was entirely without adventure. aI. though his friends were somewhat ap- prehensive owing to the threats that are said to have been made.
 Some feeling has been caused by the rAnorted disposition of the Phenix city authorities to take a part in ea- forcing the whiskey laws in Girard.
