 Captain Ferbes Gives

MONTGOMERY FOR PROGRESS

That the executive department and
 members of the Montgomery Commer- cial Club have taken hold of the rail-
 road question in this State, is shown
 by . letter from President Forbes to
 Vice. President Russell of the Mobile
 and Ohio Road. The question of transportation is a live topic with the club. doubly so since the session of the Southern Cem- mercial Congress. when the attention of the capitalists of the country, who are seeking to place investments, was drawn to Alabama and the South. It Is realized at the club that unless proper transportation Is available. no matter what inducements for invest-
 ment may be offered. the chance to draw capital here to develop industry will be lost. The putting on of an extra train by one of the railroads has drawn the following letter of appreciation from President Forbes of the Commercial Club to the management of the road: Montgomery. Ala, Jan. 2. 1909.
 ''Col. E. L. Russell, vice-President Mobile and Ohio Railroad. Mobile. Ala.;a - @
 "Dsar sir--Permit this club. speak ing on behalf of the business interests of the city of Montgomery, to thank you and those acting under your di- rection. for having put into service q local train in the morning between Tuscaloosa and this city, thus provid- ing the territory between here and Tuscaloosa with two trains each way daily.
 "From earlier agitation of the sub ject, we have learned of the light trsf< foe of this section of your railroad.
 We regard your action. therefore. as the most entitled to praise because it is in the direction of creating trafflc by making trafiic more convenient. We
 feel confident that as time goes on
 your action in this matter will be jus
 tified by the results for. as you are
 aware, very decided attention Is being drawn to Alabama and it's peculiar pros-
 poets. The constant announcements
 that have gone out from this club rel-
 ative to Alabama as q whole are al-
 ready having their effects in benefiting
 various portions of the State, and In
 stimulating new enterprises and agri-
 cultural developments; but all our
 action is in vain unless transporta-
 ton facilities are adequate. You may
 have noticed that this club on Thurs
 day last endorsed the utterances of
 the southern Commercial Congress
 relative to railroads in the South in
 the following terms;
 "'Railroad construction has been exc
 tended. but the rapid growth of the
 South requires aH. enormous increase
 in its railroad facilities to transport
 to market its many and varied prod
 duets. The construction Of such ade-
 quate facilities can be accomplished only by assuring the holders of capi--
