JACKSON TO HAVE
BOOSTERS CLUB
Purposes Will be to Conduct a Cam
paign of Publicity for the Capital
of Mississippi.

| Special to The NelCS.
Jackson, Miss, April 29-Jackson
| is to have a Boosters club, and it's
purpose is to conduct campaign of
publicity. Several real estate men
are behind the move, while some of
te leading business men of the city
have pledged their support
The real estate men, first of all,
probably will get together and form
compact little organization among
themselves, and this will be used as
the nucleus for the larger and moro
powerful Boosters club. 1t will not
be the purpose of the latter organiza-
ton to conflict, in any way, with the
board of trade, but to cooperate in
every way possible with that organi-
cation.
The purpose of the real estate men,
the real boosters club, is to advertise
Jackson in particular, and the state
in general. The organization, while
it will be local, will go upon the theo-
ry that whatever helps the state at
large will benefit Jackson.
The Boosters will admit any bust
ness man who desires to Join. but
everyone must be a booster, for that
is the chief requisite to membership.
The real estate men figure that Jack
son is about due for a boom. They
expect much from the Panama Canal,
and feel that this city and state are
better located to be benefited from
that new water route than any other
city or state, with the possible excep-
ton of New Orleans.
1t is figured campaign of publici-
ty. begun at this time and continued
with vigor till the canal is completed,
will bring many millions of dollars
for investment and many a thousand
of settlers into the state Jackson, as
the capital and financial center of the
state, they believe should be in posi-
ton to aid the remainder of the state.
Residents of other points of the state
will be eligible for membership. pro-
vided they are boosters and play the
booster game to the limit.
Business men who have been ap-
preached on the subject feel that
something of this kind is needed, but
desire perfect harmony with the board
of trade. They feel that one organi-
cation should help the other, and that
by joining hands much more efficient
work could be done otherwise. The
functions of the board of trade is not
to boose, though the Jackson organi-
cation has done a great deal of this
sort of work in the past. But the
boosters club will be in that game.
Its mission would be to advertise the
city and attract investments as well
as homeseekers for Jackson and the
surrounding country.
1t is the aim of the projectors, il
the organization is formed, to employ
a secretary, well versed in that line
of work, whose sole aim and object
would be to advertise the city. Such
a man would come high, but the men
behind the boosters club believe he
would pay for himself several times |
in a month
1t is probable a meeting of those |
interested will be called within the |
next ten days and steps taken to form
an organization. If the club is form
ed a secretary will be procured imme- |
diately and the boosters will begin |
their mission at once.

NEW YORK, July 16.-Dullness and
hesitation were dominant In the stock

brokers was partly responsible the hot

uncertain tone OF the market over the
labor situation on the Pennsylvania and

further damage to spring wheat, and

formal announcement of a reduction In
