ments are crowded with orders; to-
bacco factories are making large
profits; coal and ore miners find a
ready market for all that they can
turn out; new towns are being built
on solid basis, and old ones
steadily and vigorously building up
and running friendly rivalry with
the new ones: railroads are largely
increasing their earnings compared
with last year; and everywhere there
is increasing activity in industrial
development,
A summary of only part of the
long list of new enterprises report
ed in one week shows how great is
the activity throughout the South.
It gives some idea of the wonderful
development that is in progress, and
shows how rapidly the South is be-
coming a great manufacturing
country.

POSTAL SUBSIDIES.

The postal subsidy bill of the
last Congress set aside S1,25O,OOO
for improving the ocean service be-
tween this country and Latin Amer
lea, with the promise of additional
aid by future Congresses if the plan:
proves beneficial. The Times-Demo-
crat on the subject says: by the
terms of the act, the money available
for postal subsidies will not fall due
until after June 80. The Postofice
Department, however, has already
taken the matter under considera-
ton. 1t will advertise for bids early
next month, and it is thought that
the increased mail facilities provided
for by the act will be in operation
by September. The department also
announces that in dividing the sub
sidy, contracts will be made both
with companies now in existence
that will improve their service and
with any new lines that will put on
steamers of the tonnage capacity to
entitie them to the benefits of this
act

excellent report of his meetings it
has the following editorial comment;
''There should be no quarrel with
those who may criticise Sam Jones
and some of his expressions, but go
and hear the man. Average him up;
witness his evident sincerity: feel
his personal magnetism and his
power of seizing and holding your
attention and interest without flag
ging; note the grace of manner and
the ease and excellence of his oratorY
and the strength of expression. You
cannot fail to be deeply impressed.
No man could create and intensity
such interest in great masses of peo-
pie wherever he goes without great
personality. He is a power for
good"

THE NEW DYNANIITE GUN.

The new dynamite gun is a big
thing, and places the United States
in the lead in destructive nipple
ments of war. The recent trial of
the dynamite cruiser Yesuvius has
been watched with interest and the
results very satisfactory. 1t was
shown, for instance, that it was pos
sible to fire the shells without any
risk of their exploding before leav-
ing the gun. It was also demon
strated that the explosive force of
the shells was fully up to expecta-
ton and sufficient to tear a power
full man-of-war to pieces. At the
same time these preliminary expert
ments presented several unfavora
BILE points, indicating that it was
difficult to send the shell any con-
siderable distance, aud that the
guns could not be aimed with suf-
fcient accuracy.

ATTORNEY GENERAL CULBERSON
RULES ON THE NOTARY
nTESTTnN

Attorney General Culberson, on a
question from the secretary of state,
rules that when the governor has
submitted to the senate a list of
names as appointees to the Office of
notary public and the senate has
confirmed the same, and the secre-
tary OF the state, instead of sending
down to the governor true list of
the names so confirmed, certifes an
incorrect list as to initials of per
sons who were acturally appointed
and confirmed, that such mistake
would not operate to deprive per-
son of the office to which he has
been legally appointed The sec
rotary of state would not be bound
by the incorrect list, but would
have recourse to the senate journals.
The case of S. ". Porter, appointed
notary aud confirmed as such, but
in the list as T. W. Porter,
is .instanced, S. W Porter being
held entitled to his commission.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

Senator William n. Stewart, OF
Nevada, has prepared an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution,
making the President of the United
States Ineligible for a second term.
This amendment will be introduced
the first day that congress meets.
Senator Stewart has assurances that
the amendment will receive strong
support III the senate and he be-
ieves that 1t will pass that body.
The senator will state in the pream
BILE to his proposed amendment that
under the present system presidents
during their first term use the Office
as political machine and the
White House as place for political
caucuses. It is only during the sec
ond term that the country receives
the full benefit of their services.
"For instance" said Senator Stew
art, Harrison would not otherwise
have subsidized leading Republican
papers, by appointing their editors
to fill foreign missions. While some
of these gentlemen are filling their
positions in a highly creditable
manner, there is no doubt that the
appointments were made with the
understanding that these editors
would support President Harrison
for a second term. 1t is the system
I condemn. Any other president
would do the same thing"

exceptions, all manufacturing enter

THE AGE OF CONSENT.

The Arena for June says ''Anoth
er victory for womanhood and Pu,
rity. All honor to Wyoming! The
youngest State in the Union de-
serves another chaplet. Besides
leading the van IN the sisterhood OF
States in granting woman full and
free suffrage, the past Legislature
has raised the "age of consent" to
eighteen years. 1t is & significant
fact that the two States in the I'm
ion in which woman figures as a
prominent factor, Wyoming and
Kansas, are the only States which
are not disgraced by laws placing
the age of consent" below eighteen
years. In nine States the age of
consent to their own ruin for girls
is only ten years. 1t is needless to
say that men govern with supreme
power in these States. Yet we are
told that it would be dangerous to
grant woman full suffrage. Yes. it
would be dangerous for the moral
lepers, human iackals, aud social
vultures But for womanhood, for
manhood, for progress and true civ
ilization it would be the grandest
victory of the century"

THE NoTARIEs AGAIN.

OF the six notaries OF Washington
county to whom commissions have
been issued three of them are dis
qualified By reason of errors in their
initials or the misspeIling of their
names, the error having been made
by the clerks who rushed through in
day and u half work that they got
i've days pay for. From a ruling
in au instance given in this paper
Thursday by Attorney General Cul-
berson, the case of S. ". Porter
being cited, he held that such mis-
take would not deprive person Of
the Office to which he has been
legally appointed, but now comes
the Secretary of State who is not
fully satisfied with Attorney General
Culberson's advice on the notary
public question. He has to-day sub
mitted further questions and sug-
9estions to General Culberson, tend
ing to show his embarrassment with
reference to the authority upon
which ne shall issue notaries' COM
missions. 4 list of notaries ap-
pointed and confirmed is sent down
to HIM through the governors Office
by the secretary of the senate. He
has no other official notification or
authority upon which to issue COM
missions but this last contains errors,
and the attorney general says in his
written advice that the secretary of
state may look to the senate journals
for list and authority Tor issuing
commissions.
The latter responds that no sen
ate journals are yet fled in his Office
and they are, when filed, not official
ly authenticated. 1t appears that
he desires to know If he shall wait
until the journals are filed before
issuing commissions and also if
called upon to certify to the appoint
ment and confirmation of a notary
at any subsequent time should he
then base such certificate upon an
unauthenicated journal of the senate.
The question is important as large
interests may be seriously affected
as in the taking of Acknowledgements
by a person acting as a notary whose
and confirmation may
be subsequently disputed.

cH1cKAsAw NATION 1NrRUDERs.

CHICKASAW NATION INTRUDERS.
1t is said that only the Indian side
of the intruder question has been
presented to the authorities at
Washington, hence the reason why
the order 10 expel the intruders had
not been stayed or revoked. It is
now stated that all intruders will be
expelled commencing June 18th.
The Chickasaw laws require the
collectors to get the blank books
from which the permits are written
from the national secretary, who is
required to have each blank permit
numbered, so that when the permit
inspector makes his rounds with
the stubs he can detect any frauds
that may be perpetrated. 1t is be-
lieved that the permit collectors are
perpetrating fraud and swindling
the Nation out of the permit collec
tons.
1t is said that Secretary Noble
favors the assimilation of the whites
and Indians and the citizens hope to
get relief through him, otherwise
out they go.
