Completion Of Panama Canal

There is movement on foot
to reorganize the Columbus Bus

a state of quiesence for quite a
long time past. Nearly year
ago ]. G. Weatherly. the secre-
tary resigned in order to accept
a more lucrative position as Sec
retary of the Chamber Of Com
merce at Brunswick, Ca, and
no successor was elected. the
consequence being that interest
Jagged. and the organization vir-
tually collapsed. the board Of di-
rectors not even having held a
meeting for several months.
The league was in debt. and
some of the members felt dis
couraged. The business men
have at last awakened to a reali-
zation of the fact that the organ
ization really did a great deal for
them, and that it is detrimental
to their interest, to allow it to re-
main dormant. The completion
of the Panama canal aud the
contemplated improvement in the
rombigbee river will give Column
bus direct connection with Pana-
ma and South America. and let
ters received by local manufac-
turers indicate that that this will
afford them opportunity to build
up an excellent export trade. To
do this will require the aid of a
live commercial body. and hence

organized.
Among the local business men
who are working to reorganize

the opportunity which the COM
pletion of the Panama canal and
the improvement of the Tombig-
bee will give Columbus a chance
to build up a trade with foreign

ious to lsee the city take ad-
