A GREAT PROGRAM FOR A GREAT
GATHERING.

A handsome illustrated pamphlet,
giving the partial programme of the
third annual convention Of the South
ern Commercial Congress at Atlanta,
March s and 10, has just been issued
1t foreshadows one of the most not
able non-sectional gatherings ever
held in a Southern city and ought TO
prove far-reaching in its effect upon
Southern development.
Besides the President and the only
living ex-President of the United
States the list of speakers will include
Cabinet officers, Governors of States,
men of business and finance from ey-
cry section of the country, foreign am
bassadors, members of Congress-, dis
tinguished publicists and militant pi-
oneers in American industrial uplift.
The congress is to meet in the fif-
tieth year after the opening of the
tremendous clash of arms to settle one
of the greatest issues in American his
tory and from which the South emerg-
ed absolutely PROSTATE, and it is to sig
nalize her physical recovery from the
bankruptcy of war and the tragic vic
issitudes of Reconstruction. What that
recovery measures in prosperous
cities in increased population, in man
ufacturing achievements, in agricul-
tural expansion and the accumulation
of wealth will be told by many of the
men who have been conspicuous fig,
ures in her rehabilitation.
The scope of the programme will
include external views of the South
the South in business, the world as a
market for the South, the South's new
union along the lines of commerce aId
business endeavor her achievements
in agriculture, in comerce, in the de-
velopment of commercial organiza-
tons, in education, in forest preserva-
ton, in the construction Of goot
roads, in promotion of the public
health, in immigration, in insurance, Il
! land reclamation, in manufactures, il
mines and mining, in the utilization o
her water resources, and her higher
thought in law, business, education
citizenship and national life.
The aim of those who have had il
hand the CONNECTION of this importan
program and through whose efforts 81
representative a gathering of men il
public and private life has been ar
ranged has been neither the glorifica
ton of the Southern Commercial Con
gress nor of the city of Atlanta, bu
ito make the worlds estimate of tn
South correct and to stir the Soutl

The aim is worthy and its realiza
