Prince Albert. This so much distressed
the young Queen that her nerves were
utterly unstrunG. She found fault with
her ladies, used language which from
less exalted parsonage would be
described as scolding. and found every
thing wrong and badly managed.

Great Series OF Five.
lBu Assoeiatcd Press.l

Washington, p. C., July 6.-The
Executive Committee of the Southern
Commercial Congress has unanimous
ly accepted the invitation to hold its
next annual convention in Nashville,
in the Spring of 1912. The Nashville
invitation came from the Industrial
League and the Board of Trade.
The 1912 convention will be the
second in the great series of meetings
covering the five years that parallel
the five appalling years of the Civil
War. The first went to Atlanta and
typified the physical recovery of the
South. The second, to be held in
Nashville, will deal with the triple
me-agriculture, education and i'm
migration. The third will be held in
New Orleans in 1918, when an inter
national event will be made of the
opening of the Panama Canal and the
Souths relation to the commerce of
the world. The fourth will be held in
Oklahoma in 1914, and deal with the
magic growth of trans Mississippi ter
ritory, as tppe Of the change going
on in the South. The fifth will be
held in Richmond or Washington in
1915, just one hundred years since
peace with the Mother country and
fifty years since peace at home.
These semi-centennial celebrations
do not recount the history produced
between 1861 to IS, but exploit ma
tionally the victories along. construc
