ATHENS, GA, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1811.
11.00 YEAR
The Southern Commercial
Meeting Was Theme of
Mr. Arthur, Who is
Here Today.
Mr. B. F. Arthur, special represents,
tive of the Southern Commercial Con
gress, Washington, D. C„ the great
organisation which has for its key
note, "For a greater nation through
a greater South,” was .In the city yes
terday, and will probably make Ath
ens bis headquarters during his can
vass of this part of Georgia—having
fallen in love with the Hotel Geor
gian, as one of the finest in the South.
Mr. Arthur is here to meet the peo
ple and Interest them in the greatest
commercial meeting that has aver
been held, not only In the south,
but in the nation. The congress
meets In Atlanta March 8 to 10. The
Athens Chamber of Commerce, like
many of the live trade bodies In oth
er cities of tbe South, is a member of
the Southern Commercial Congress.
It has recently appointed nearly a
hundred alert, enterprising, progres
sive business men of all callings and
lines of business, to represent the
"Classic City” in the big Atlanta
meet
Mr. Arthur has some valuable sug
gestions to oiler as to additional re
presentation. He suggests that the
county outside the city be represented
by a good delegation. He also sug
gests that as many from Athens as
can do so go down to Atlanta "en
auto”—it will be a good advertise
ment for the good roads of Clarke
end of Georgia between here and At
lanta and will result In an Impres
sion which may be utilised in the
near future for signal advantage In
plans which the city has in view to
get on tbe national highway. He also
suggests that the educational institu
tions of the city send student dele
gations to the congress. Auburn is
to send a large student delegation
from the Alabama Polytechnic, tbe
North Carolina Colleges will have
large parties of students and other
sections will be represented. He has
been conferring with Chancellor
Barrow and Dean Snelllng of tbe Uni
versity and Dr. Branson, president of
the -State Normal School, to tbe end
that parties may be made up of such
students as are Interested In the fu
ture development of the South and
will go as an rare educational oppor
tunity to hear the best things the big
gest men of all lines of thought have
to offer relative to the South, Its pos
sibilities, and Its responsilblitlea.
Mr. Arthur Is genial, enthusiastic,
and carries a contagion of "Interest
In the South and the South's greatest
meeting” along with him. He met a
number of the Athens people yester
day and will meet more before he
leaves the city for good.
A Man of Family.
Mr. Arthur, to be a little personal.
Is a man of family and belongs to s
family that has raised some men of
fsmllies. He Is thefatber of ten chil
dren—the youngest son being three
years old and the oldest Just twenty-
three, and the daddy of them looks as
If he could stand bis band with any
of the boys between at a footrace or
game of marbles. He has two broth
ers who "amongst them" have sev
enteen children. It would require a
great “round table” to entertain ail
the young "Arthurs” In that South
Carolina bunch. The Jovial represen
tative of the 8. C. C. la not aware
that the Banner Is tellng tales on him
nnd his family but It won’t do him
any barm.

The Dale of Dr. McCor
mack’s Address To the
People of Athens, at
University Chapel.
Southern Commercial Congress;
What It Means To the South
Aa already announced In the news
columns of the Banner, Dr. J. N.
McCormack of Bowling Green, Ken
tucky, secretary of tbe state board
of health and chairman of the com
mittee on organisation of the Amer
ican Medical Association, will deliver
public address at the University
of Georgia Chapel on the evening of
February 25th. Ttali meeting will
be held under the auspices of tho
County Medical Socet.v, but, unlike
moat medical meetings. It is for the
public rather than for the medical
profession.
The American Medical Association
which Dr. McCormack represents, is
the national organization of the med
ical profession, and is carrying on a
systematic campaign for pure food,
pure drugs, better sanitary conditions,
better medical colleges and better
physicians. Dr. McCormack’s talk will
be on mattera of Interest to every
intelligent man and woman in tbe
community.
The reception which Dr. McCor
mack baa received In other eommun-
Itlea, as well as the results of his
campaign, are well illustrated by tbe
following editorial quoted from the
Loulavllle (Kentucky) Courier-Jour
nal:
“Today the duties of tbe physician
to the general public are under In-
veitlgatlon as never before. His work
must needs be gauged by sterner
criticism than in days past, because
tbe conscience of the people Is aflame
insisting upon all work for (he public
being performed better than In the
time when everyone was too blind or
too busy to note dereliction from ideal
performance. The legislature, the
Judiciary, tbe executive, all note tills
aroused interest. The allied profes
sions feel Its influence. As never be
fore, tbe physician is alive to bis duty
to his fellow-men, and an evidence of
Ibis ii seen in tbe work of tbe Ameri
can Medical Asaociallon, the general
body of tbe physicians of America,
which organization has chosen Dr. J.
N. McCormack, the zecretary of our
State Board of Health, as iti repre
sentative to make the people every
where a fair presentation of tbe doc
tor's work, bis duties, bis falling*,
and tbe support to which he Is entl-
tied from the laity.
Tonight’s lecture at the Woman's
Ciub will deal with these topics, and
the correlative ones of food and drug
adulteration, and of the prevention
of disease, and, it these subjects are
even cursorily treated, must be
worthy of hearing. Certainly If we
can not trust our physicians we
should know It; It they cannot trust
us, they probably already know It.”
Saturday, the 25th.
It will be well for the people of the
city to keep in mind the date of tbe
address of Dr. McCormack—Saturday
nlsht, of nest week, at 8 o'clock, In
the chapel of the University of Geor
gia. Dr. Goas has communicated
with a number of physicians from the
surrounding country, this and other
districts having been cordially Invit
ed, and has had a number of replies
accepting the Invitation to be pres
ent. It Is expected that there will be
a hundred visiting doctors here on the
date of the addresses of Dr. McCor
mack to the physicians and on the
evenjng of Saturday week to the peo
ple generally.

Mr. Q. Grovesnor Dawe, of Washington, D. C„ Writes an Epito
mized Prospectus of tbe Work That is| Planned For the
Meeting To Which Many Athenians May Qo.
Since President Lincoln was called . Woodrow Wilson, under the topic,
hlty years ago to preside over the I "Tbe Citizen and the Slate.” Tbe
destines of a disrupted country ten j South’s higher thought In law will be
other men have occupied the presi
dential chair. The tenth. President
Talt, will, on March 10th, spend the
entire day In Atlanta, Georgia, as tbe
guest of tbe Southern Commercial
Congress and there take part In meet
ings that, by reason of their contrast
with conditions of 1861, will be his
toric In their settings and historic In
their efforts. In fltty years of our
history no more striking evidence of
the transition of thought and of a
new and stronger union will have
been presented to the country than
that involved in the three day* ses
sions of the Southern Commercial
Congress.
Before In any way touching upon
the features of the program it Is well
lo understand that the Southern Com
mercial Congress Is not the name of
an annual meeting, but Is the nnmo
of a movement born In 1908 from the
conviction that whereas, a message
sent out from the South In 1861, led
to struggle and Immeasurable misery
and national agony, the time had
ccme for a new message to go out
of the South to the nation couched In
the langauge of commerce, which Is
the language of peace and based up
on the natural resources of the South
and their significance In Increasing
national strength.
It Is not necessary to detail the
work of tbe past three years, but day
after day, the men of the present gen
eration who set to themselves tbe
task of framing up tbls message to
the nation and to the world have
quietly worked forward towards A
moment when. In a day, the SoutH-
and Its meaning to the nation might
reach every thinking mind in the
United States and thus sweep away
for ever the barrier of misunderstand
ing that wat created by the war be
tween the atatee. ft Is an Important
point In tbit movement that in nearly
every ease tbe men who have worked
to give It strength ere tone or grand
sons of Confederate soldiers. These
men have come under the Influence
of an Idea Just as Intense as that
which prompted the men of fifty
years ago. The Intensity of purpose
It Is true, being used In a differ
ent direction, but it Is of tbe same
character and same determination.
And what Is It? Tbat, by a union of
thought and of action on tbe part of
described by Secretary of War Dick
inson, of Tennessee, under the topic,
' The Enforcement of Law In the
South." The South's higher thought
l n the nation will be described by
President Taft, whose words will
come as the capstone of the three
days session under the topic, "A
Greater Nntlon through a Greater
South.”
in the seventh division there will
be fourteen section metlngs, held con
currently.
In each section there will be three
or more speeches each dealing with
seme basal consideration appropriate
to the section and out of each section
will come a series of resolutions or
affirmations to be read prior to Pres
ident Taft’s speech, as the body of
affirmations regarding the whole
South and its Interests. It Is Impos
sible ln tbe space available to detail
the speeches to be delivered in each
section. The Water Resources sec
tion may be taken aa a sample of the
thoroughness with which each great
Interest of the South will be consider
ed. M. O. Leighton, Hydrographer of
the United States Geological Survey
will speak on "The Significance of the
South's Water Resources.” Philip P.
Wells, Counsel of tbe National oCn-
serratlon Association, will speak on
The Ownership of hunnlng Waters
and Their Development.” Captain W.
Lay, of Gadsden, Alabama, will
speak on "Federal and Stale Coop
eration In Water Power Development
on Navigable Streams." Gane Dunn,
vice president of the Crocker-Wheeler
Company and a member of the Am
erican institute of Electrical Engi
neers, will speak on Hydro-Electric
Corporations, tbelr Duties and Re
sponsibilities."
In tbe Section of Agriculture, T. J.
Watson, commissioner of agriculture
o( the state of South Carolina, will
speak on "Tbe Cereal* qf tbe South;”
Prof. Bennett, of Paris, Texas,
'The National Importance of Cotton
Fibre;" Prof. W. A. Withers, of West
Raleigh, N. C„ on “The Rain Fall
and Growing of tbe Soutb, as Explain-
Ing Agricultural Monopolies;” Mr. J.
Evans, of Shreveport, La., an “Di-
versification."
In the Commerce Section, J. F.

GREAT INCREASE K. P. MEMORIAL
lo Plans of the Local Trus
tees of the Black Mam
my Memorial Insti
tute Work.
The local board of trustees of the
Clack Mammy Memorial Institute,
Messrs. W. T. Bryan, John D. Moss
end JlaJ. Talmage, met In Mr. Bry
an's office last Wednesday. They de
cided to purchase 23 acres of land in
stead of live acres, as was originally
planned.
The comment from different sec
tions of the United States has been
of the heartiest approval. The At
lantic Monthly and many other per
iodicals give their unstinted endorse
ment. Many eyes are looking towards
Athens and the people of Athens to
see a creditable memorial. It will no
doubt be an object of Interest in the
future to all travelers Interested in
historic points of interest In the
South.
Many Athenians are Increasing
their subscriptions to help the trus
tees raise the $5,000 more needed to
be secured In Athens.

.he commercial organizations of thejtpak on "South -Atlantic Ports, their
South and the business men of the Conditions and Prospects;" O. Owen,
South, the mental barrier, setting the Secretary of the Board of Trade, of
South off as a peculiar and separate 1 Fort Arthur, Texas, will speak on
section, may be swept away and with J "Gulf Ports, their Conditions and
It all painful memories of a disrupting Prospects;" B. L. McKellar, of Ken-
struggle and of the causes which led
U that struggle. In other words,
these men of vision ln the Soutb see
that the Soutb, by reason of Its won
derful natural resources, must be
stirred to the necessity of construc
tive development and must unite to
remove, ln addition to tbe painful
memories of tbe struggle, all wrong
Ideas regarding tbe Soutb as a place
of safe residence, of Investment and
of opportunity.
It will now be seen why the third
annual convention of the Southern
Commercial Congreas Is a national
event and It la also easy to ~ understand
why President Taft and two of his
cabinet officers. Governor Woodrow
Wilson, (who, by the way, Is a Vir
ginian), the Governors of all the
Southern States, and more than a
hundred apeakers distinguished In tb«
business affairs of tbe nation will be
In Atlanta to witness tbe new union
of tbe Soutb along tbe llnea of con
structive statesmanship.
The program la perhaps the most
Imposing ever brought together In
the history of the nation. It Is di
vided up Into eight mein divisions.
1. Welcome and general statement.
2. External views of the Soutb.
3. Tbe Solid Soutb of Business.
4. Tbe World as a Market for tbe
Soutb.
5. Making tbe New Soutb Under
stood.
6. A Review of the Business
Forces.
7. Section Meetings.
8. The South’s Higher Thought
Dealing with tbe eighth division
first, an idea of tbe weight and char
acter of the whole program can* be ob
tained. The South’* higher thought
in business will be described by Wil
liam O. McAdoo, of New York, bom
In Georgia, under the topic—"Corpor
ations and the Public.” Tbe South’s
higher thought In education will be
described by Chancellor Houston,
(bora in North Carolina, educated In
South Carolina, for long the bead of
tbe University of Texes and now
beading Washington University, of
St. Louis, Missouri), under the topic
The South's Educational Obliga
tion.” The South’s higher thought In
politics wll be deacrlbed by Governor
lucky, le Invited to speak on "The
Short Routing of Manufactured Pro
ducts to the Nearest Port In tbe
South” and .Milton H. Smith, presi
dent of tbe Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, la Invited to speak on “The
Railroads In their Relation to South
ern Ports."
These are simply three samples as
Indications of tho value of tbe entire
scries of section meetings.
In the sixth division of the program,
"The World as a .Market for the
South," Senator Hernando D. Money,
retiring Senator from Mississippi, and
who, for more than thirty-five yean,
hat been a close atmlent of the ques
tion of an Isthmian Canal, will speak
On "The Obligations of the Panama
Canal." Ambassador Jtisserand has
chosen the following happy title fora
speech, "Old France to New France."
Hon. John Barrett, director of tbe
International Bureau of American
Republic* will speak on the subject,
"Make Ready for the Panama Canal.”
He will be followed by Charles 8ber-
tel, our Minister to Argentine, who
will make a thoroughly practical
rpeecb on "Organizing for Foreign
Trade.” It Is anticipated that there
will be In Atlanta other important
Ambasaadors besides the Ambassador
from France, but final announcement
la not yet possible.
The division devoted to “The Solid
Soutb of Business" will be Intensely
Interesting. One leading business
man has been chosen from each of
the six teen states covered by the
work of the Southern Commercial
Congress to speak for his state and
to make clear its business solidity
along the lines of agriculture, manu
facturing, mining, banking, education
eac.
In the division devoted to External
View* of the South, Secretary James
Wilson will speak on Agriculture, Ed
ward Hines, president of the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association,
Chicago, III., will speak on "Perpet-
utlng the South's Lumber Wealth,”
Judge Elbert H. Gary hat been invit
ed to apeak on "The Manufacturing
Obligations of the South.” Mr. Geo.
Westlnghouse has been Invited to
■peak on "Electrclty in the Develop
ment of the South." Mr. George W.
Perkins will speak on "Business Ef
ficiency in Southern Progress.” Mr.
Arthur Kavanagh, cashier of tne Na
tional City Bank of New York, will
■peak on “Opportunities In Southern
Finance" and Mr. Arthur M. Harris,
of the greet bond house of Haris,
Forbes sndCompany, nil speak on
“The Field for Southern Bonds."
The first division of the program
will Include speeches by the officers
cf tbe congress: by Asa G. Candler on
“Southern Patriotism In Business En
deavor’’ and by Senator Duncan U.
Fletcher, of Florida, on "The South
ern Renalsance."
In the sixth division, the review of
the Business Forces of the South
which Is expected to take place untfer
cover In the great auditorium in At
lanta, there will be several events
typifying the new union of the South
and Its relations to the nation. A
gavel will be presented to President
Taft made up of sixteen pieces of
wood, each piece of wood contributed
by the Commissioner of Agriculture
c-f the sixteen states affected by the
work of tbe Southern Commercial
Congress. The handle of tbe -gavel
will be made from an elm planted ln
the White bouse grounds by Jobn
Quincy Adams, thus uniting New
lEngland, Washington and all tho
Southern States in an emblem whose
taps will be heard In a constructive
union of the statea In direct antithe
sis to the line up of fifty years ago.
Two orations will be delivered at the
time of tbe review—one by James
Cordon, former Senator from Missis
sippi, who fought and bled and suf
fered In the war. The heart throbs
of this great, good man were felt in
his farewell to the senate. The na
tion honors him as theauthor of the
phrase, "Re-United States.” He will
speak for the men of hit generation.
The men of today will be spoken for
by Dr. Clarence J. Owens, Comman
der-In-Chief of the United Sons of
Confederate Veterans.
Aa an evidence of the remarkable
Interest aroused in tbls event, let me
mention that each Southern Governor
and Governor-elect united with Gov
ernor Brown, of Georgia, in Inviting
President Taft to address the South-
rn Commercial Congress. Now each
Southern Governor is himself heading
a committee of business men to see
that his state Is adequately repre
sented ir> Atlanta, and at probably
more than a hundred points In the
South at the present time Pullman
cars are being chartered to carry del
egations of business men from the
various commercial organizations. Ar
rangements are also being made for
parking over two hundred Pullmans
In the vicinity of Atlanta so tbat,
should the hotel accommodations ho
over strained, vsitors to Atlanta can
have comfortable aleeping accommo
dations. Over two thousand •Indents
frem colleges of the South Bre expect
ed in Atlanta, being excused by their
faculties In order that they may grasp
this opportunity" to hear the aggrega
tion of distinguished men who will
address the Southern Commercial
Congress and In order that they,
themselves, may catch the new step
ping time of the South and pledge
themselves to technical training and
preparation.
The officers of the Southern Com
mercial Congress nre at present, John
Parker, N'ew Orleans, I-a., presi

Large Congregation Met Last
Night at First Baptist Church
To Urge Him To Remain.

nnuncement of tbe .Men's League of
the First Baptist church, there was
a great congregation assembled at tbe
prayer meeting hour to urge upon tbe
pastor, Dr. Jeukens, that be reconsid
er bis recent resignation and remain
as pastor of tbe church here. The
meeting was most earnest and en
thusiastic and Indicated how deep a
bold on the hearts of his people—
and, Indeed, the people of the entire
city, regardless of, denominational af
filiations—this gifted, uieful man of
God has gained. Tbe meeting was
full of interest—and must have been
an inspiration to the pastor In Its
spontaneous expressions of esteem
and devotion from his people. A
committee was appointed, Mr. J. A.
Darwin, chairman, to confer with the
pastor and learn If there is not some
way In which he can, without embar
rassment, free himself from other
work and remain here. The commit
