Mr.. fancey, OF Florida. endorsed Mr..
Fernow's remarks, and a reference he
made to the late Henry Grady caused
prolonged applause. Something about the
manufacture OF lumber In the northwest
was told the convention by Mr.. NJ. II.

he did not believe In these northern
people who came South and said Get
