OROANIZINO THE SOUTH. This is distinctly an age of organization.

Twenty-five years ago there were very few institutions anywhere in the coontry which devoted systematic effort to the development encouragement of industrial enterprise or comrnerciai activity. Towns and villages everywhere now have tbii4r boards of trade, commercial clubs and other or- gaoiratioDS for the protnotion of happiness and prosperity among the people. Until the re -birth of the Commercial congress nothing was organized in the southern states except a sort political machine which did political parties little good and less for the south. Now the ctwigrcss which is assembled in this city, serves as a mammoth clearing bouse for business ideas artd improvement plans.
