Atlanta, Ga., The opening ad drses on-the program of the South ern Commercial Congress was made by its President, John M- Parker, of New Orleans, who congratulated the delegates upon the progress made already through organization by the commercial secretaries throughout the .South, of "young men looting forward with hope." He deprecated what he termed ! a decline of : the nation into idleness, luxury, extrav agance" and : wild excesses, v ' ; President Parker said: "Fifty years ago a meeting of this character would have been be yond the ; conception of the wild est dreamer -and the! : greatness - of the -United States is typified when the great men; of the nation now as- sist in making the world appreciate the vastness' of Southern possibilities.-"1 .
