T|DEWATER ENTERS
 FIFTH AVENUE Said That Line Will Be in Operation by June
 or July

The Tidewater car line construction has invaded Fifth avenue, the workmen hav- ing reached Thirteenth street yesterday. The grading is completed to that point and as fast as men and energy can ae- complish the work it will proceed.
 President Dewberry said last night that an inspection of the property yesterday disclosed the fact that everything is in first class shape and that the grading was going ahead with remarkable satis- faction.
 Fifth avenue will be used by the Tide water to the Terminal station and thence down the Fifth avenue road to Avondale. The work up Fifth avenue will be com pleted within a few weeks. It was stated last night by President Dewberry that as Fifth avenue and the paved section was worked over, the progress would sps somewhat slow. as the city engineer wiu pass upon every block of work. The con struction toward the city from the east has progressed through Avondale and the two sections of workinen will meet along the Fifth avenue road. It is believed that the Tidewater will be operating easily by June or July of this year.

This vast sum of government money does not include the money spent by the different states in cooperative work with the federal department, which was stimulated by the initiative of Secre- ,ary Wilson.
 The principal bureaus of the department which have been engaged in the agricul- lural uplifts Of the southern states are he bureau of plant industry, which out of {, total appropriation for the past 10 years bf S1000o,000 has spent $3,500.000, or more han one-third, for agricultural improve nents in the southern states; bureau of lnimal industry over $1,250o0O bureau of entomology. S7O0.00O; bureau of soils ap- proximately $5O0, GOO. This does not include Inc work of other bureaus in the depart nent.

SPENCER DANIEL
 VISITS MERIDIAN

Meridian. Miss. February 23.-(Specialo Louis Spencer Daniel of Washington, rep resenting the Southern Commercial Con- gress, was in the city for the purpose nr interviewing the merchants, business men in general and manufacturers in the in terest of the meeting to be held in Nash vile in April.
 Daniel is an enthusiastic optimist re- garding the present and future of the southern states. He says the meeting to be held in Nashville promises at this time to be one of the greatest held in the history of the congress; that the entire south is awakening to the great possibill- ties of this action by concerted movement. and that the Commercial Congress as an organization looking to this end is meet ing with encouragement in all sections of the south.

 The Coming Year
 1912 should be a good building year. Plans have been announced for two or more hotels, a new theatre and several modern apartment houses. That it will be an active year for Birmingham is assured beyond per adventure by the construction work now being done by the railroads under plans already an- nounced. Brmingham's trade in build- ing material, lumber and cotton shows substantial increase during the past year and the prospects for the coming year are even more fattering.
 Special efforts should be made to in crease Birmingham's advantages as a market and to extend her trade area Birmingham is doubly blessed in her natural resources of steel and iron. It has out grown the one industry town period. It has developed as a city to such an extent that it's future would be assured even if it had no blast fur naces. It's commanding geographical position and railroad facilities unite 1t to a rapidly developing territory, as suring its pre-eminence as mart of trade.
 q wish to express my appreciation to the able and retiring president for many courtesies during the year. To all the press I herewith express my sincere gratitude for their zeal and ca pacity shown in cooperation with the work of the Chamber of Commerce. There are no more loyal and public spirited papers anywhere than those in Birmingham and for that matter, the knocker and calamity howlers to. the contrary notwithstanding, there Is no more loyal and patriotic band of citi- zenship to be found anywhere than in Birmingham
