Special Interest In south
In announcing the course, the of

poraton have expressed the opinion
that IL will prove OF special interest
TO the business man of the Southern
States. The South has taken n very
prominent part In export expansion.
The total exports of the United States
for che fiscal year 1914 were Sa.ss4,-

Southern customs districts amounted
TO some 81 per cent. In fact, two
Southern ports ranked second and third

considerably over three times as much
as all the Pacific Coast ports com
bined. The activity of the Southern
