To remove the mistaken irapres-'
sion of the condition of health, cli
mate, labor and education in the
Southern states, which have hither- [
to deprive this section of its fair I
; share of enterprising capital and |
|homeseekers, is the immediate ob
ject of the Southern Commercial Con- 1
gross. With this in view, it will |
establish in the city of Washington a
permanent exhibit of the natural prod- j
nets of the South, that will be well ,
supplemented by maps showing dis
tances and the facilities for transpor- !
tation by both rail and water, and by
graphically portrayed statistics, com
piled from the United States Geolog
ical Survey, the Department of Agri
cultlire, and the; census and other
i federal bureaus; thus giving evidence
; bearing the stamp of authority of
[the national government, of the vast
undeveloped resources and great pos
zsibilities of the teeming Southland.
’ There will also be a permanent Bu- j
' reau of Information and Publicity, !
which, with a competent office force
and modern advertising methods will j
disseminate to the whole world the i
facts thus collected. A home for
tills exploitation plant, and aa en- !
dowment fund for its maintenance
■will be secured by the raising of a :
million dollars; the most magnificent ‘
office building in Washington is to
be erected as the headquarters of the
Southern Commercial Congress, and
the revenues from this building will
annually be expended in its work. — f

SUPERIOR COURT IN SESSION.
; Judge Wright Delivers Strong Charge
to Grand Jury.
i
Chattooga Superior Court convened
| Monday morning, with Judge Moses
Wright presiding. Solicitor Moses
j Bale, and his assistant, C. N. Porter,
Stenographer Crawford and the other
court officers were on hand to look
after their respective duties.
The grand jury was organized by
the election of Geo. D. Espy, Fore
man; G. A. Kling, Clerk, and C. P.
■ Morton, Bailiff.
Judge Wright’s charge to the
grand jury was one of the strong
. est ever delivered here, and the
j closest attention was given by the
| large crowd present.
He dwelt especially on the im
i portance of good roads, and urged
the grand jury to give careful at
j tention to this important question.
He said that Chattooga bad been
unfortunate in that she had never had
any road laws, but ir
respective of what system we
had there was no reason»why our
| roads should not bo better. He said
I that Chattooga had the finest road
material of any county in Georgia
and that no,county could build roads
at a lower cost. He declared that
there was no more important ques
tion now before the people than tha't
of good roads and urged the grand
jury to study the road laws and
j evolve some plan that would give
. us better highways.
The judge called attention to the
decrease in the tax returns and urg
ied the grand jury to thotoughly in
vestigate this matter and see it
property was being returned at a
j fair valuation. He said that many
| people were giving in their proper
ty at redlculously low figures and
that It was the duty of the grand ju
ry to raise all property that had
been given in below Its true valua
tion. Judge Wright laid special
stress on the prohibition law and
impressed the importance of enforc
ing it strictly.
The grand jury is composed of the
following citizens: W. D. Hawkins,
F. E. Hall, T. A. Bailey, C. C.
Strange, C. P. Thompson, J. T. Weav
er, S. R. Wyatt, L. S. Thacker, R.
H. Brison, D. S. Espy, W. D. Gll
keson, J. E. Crawford, S. C. Martin,
G. A. Kling, P. A. Brooks, E. P-
Scott, G. R. Anderson, Win. Craw
ford, W. W. Scoggins and W. E.
Dill.
The grand jury has been very busy
up to this time and will probably
be unable to conclude its labors this
week.
