in session two days and will deal
with all pertinent subjects. Mr.
Roosevelt will not arrive until 8
O'Clock Saturday afternoon. when he
will go direct to the auditorium and
deliver short address.
The ladies who induced Mr.. Roose-
velt to come here to lecture for the
Joel Chandler Harris Memorial fund.
thought that Mr.. Roosevelts appear
ance at the conservation congress
might detract from their meeting at
night. because many who would see
Roosevelt in the afternoon, would not
pay to hear the lecture at night To
avoid this trouble, the committee in
charge of the conservation congress
decided that it would admit to the
auditorium on Saturday afternoon
only the delegates to the congress,
and such parteis as have tickets for
the Roosevelt lecture at night. This,
it is considered, will avoid any diff
ficulty on the score stated
Mr.. Roosevelt comes here direct
from knoxville, speaks briefly at the
auditorium, then speaks to the ne
groes at the colored congregational
church, after which he will attend a
reception and luncheon at Mayor
MadOx's country home In the even
ing he will deliver his Uncle Remus
lecture and at midnight take the train
to New York. A special committee
is going from Atlanta to Knoxville,
headed by President F. J. PaXon, of
the chamber of commerce, to meet
him. He will stop for few hours at
Miss Berry's school near Rome on
Saturday morning. and come direct
from there to Atlanta.
Tonight there was a dinner at ne
Piedmont Driving club given to- the
delegates attending the conservation
congress, at which Clifford Pinchot
the guest of honor. Speeches were
made by many of the prominent dele
gates.
The Southern Commercial congress
is the organization which has its
headquarters in Washington and |
which looks after the distribution of |
information about the resources and !
industries of the south. It's meeting
here at this time will add much in
terest to the occasion.
