President Parker Gratifled.

I'VE feel satisfied with what we have
accomplished,N said President Parker
this morning. We now know just where
we stand.
There is a great deal of work to be done
In the way of organizing, but we have
found the men who will give their time.
money and brains to the work of the
Southern Commercial Congress, and that
is half the battle. More can be accom-
piished with a few men who will really
put their shoulders to the wheel than
with many who will work intellectually.
Success breeds success, and when the
people of the south see US succeeding they
will fall quickly into line
The idea Of the Southern Commercial
Congress sprang up year ago in WASH
ington during the meeting of the Rivers
and HarbOrs Congress. A number OF
prominent southern men in the heat Of
the moment pledged themselves to large
subscriptions. When collecting time
came, however, some of them had suf-
fered from the floods and storms which
caused so much loss to the planters last
summer; others simply reconsidered. and
payments were meager. A few, however,
stood firm. They formed the nucleus OF
the congress. which now seems an as
sured success.
