DEPENDENCE upon

Southern Commercial Congress Has
Correlated Statistics Which Show
Importance of Staple.

Special to The Netos.
Washington, D. c., July 16.-From
official sources, running back to 1890,
The Southern Commercial Congress
has correlated statistics that show that
the dependence of the nation upon
cotton in maintaining the credit of the
United States in world commerce.
The total value of all exports from
1890 to June 30, 1909, has been $47,-
991 ,224,4O5. The total balance in IA
vor of the United States during this
period has been $6,436, 4,566. The
total value Of raw cotton exported
during the same time has been $13,-
59S, 353,OS6 These figures are for raw
cotton alone, and at low valuation.
They leave out of consideration manq-
featured cotton and cotton seed pro-
ducts.
The purpose of the compilation is
to lift cotton subjects, enemies and cul-
tural methods out of consideration as
solely Southern interests and give
them their rightful place as national;
for without cotton the nation would
appear a debtor, instead of creditor
on the worlds balance sheets to the
extent of $7,OO0,0O0, 900.

FINANCES ARE IN
EXCELLENT CONDITION
Club Will Soon Move Into Convenient
And Commodious Quarters, And
Secretary Will Devote His Entire
Time to the Work.

Never before in the history of the
have the affairs of the
Hattiesburg Commercial Club been in
such satisfactory shape as at the pres
ent time, and indications are that the
is now on a thoroughly
sound and practical working basis.
During the early part of the year,
at a meeting of the directors of the
club, when the matter of finances was
it was evident that unless
the organization should be more lib
orally supported by the business in
terests of the city its efficiency would
be very limited and the prospects for
the accomplishment of many things
which had been planned appeared to
be exceedingly doubtful.
At that time it was decided to
make an effort to enlist the support of
individuals and business concerns in
the work which the organization had
planned to do, and for this purpose
finance committee was appointed.
Members of this committee were in
structed to call upon the business peo-
pie and endeavor to raise a fund of
$4,000 for the purpose of putting the
club on a substantial basis for the
year and to enable it to carry out sue
eessfully the work which had been
planned.
At a recent meeting of the directors
the finance. committee reported that
the necessary funds had been raised,
and it was decided to retain the ser
vices of a permanent secretary at a
salary which would permit him to de-
vote his entire time to the work, and
to rent more comfortable and con-
venient quarters for the club.
1t was decided to retain Mr.. Bixler
as permanent secretary, and con-
tract was closed for ground-fioor
room in the fairfield building, which
is now being fitted up as quarters for
the club. A permanent exhibit of
fruits and vegetables grown in this
section will be displayed there, also
of growing crops and
such products as cannot be preserved.
The club has great things in pros
pect for the present year. and now
that the matter of finances has been
arranged, it's officers
are confident that before the year
closes people of Hattiesburg will real
ize that five thousand dollars is a
cheap investment when handled ju-
diciously by a commercial crganiza-
tion for the good of city.
Secretary Bixler, who is now in
New York, will return Monday and
will Immediately take up his new
quarters in the Hartfield building,
where visitors will be welcome at all
hours, and where any information
Hattiesburg and the sur
rounding country will be gladly fur
nished.
Among other things being planned
by the commercial club is another big
celebration to be held in October, and
it is hoped to make this occasion
surpass the great prosperity celebra-
tion of last year. The event will be
in all sections of the state,
and it is expected that thousands Of
visitors will be present. A..
