future OF THE SOUTH.

Atlantic City, N, j., June I6,-MrD
Richard 81. Edmonds, editor of the
Man ufactursrs' Record of Baltimore,
who had been invited to deliver an ad-
dress to-day on "The General Pro-
gress of the South" before the annual
convention Of the Southern Hardware
Jobbers' Association, which is now in
session, was unavoidably detained, but
sent to the secretary paper dealing
with The advancement of the South's
material interests. In this Mr.. Ed
monds said in part;
"The industrial activity which is
seen throughout the South to-day is
but faint indication OF what will be
accomplished during thenext ten years
in utilizing natures abundant bless
ings for the employment OF the people
and the creation of wealth. Our vast
mineral resources, surprising those OF
Of any other equal area in the world,
al Of no value except when, touche
by the magic wand OF capital, they be
gin to pour forth stream of wealth
for the enrichment of their owners aud
the employment of the people.
Possibly the most striking fact
fraught with tremendous meaning, to
which the attention Of the business
world cannot be too often pointed, is
that the Sonth, and the South alone
of all other sections of the world COM
bines in itself all the natural advan-
tsges for the development Of diversi6-
ed manufactures, the creation of wealth
and the support Of dense popula'
ton.
"In the South, and in the South
alone, the four great essentials to manu-
facturing-cotton, iron, coal and TIM
ber-are found in greater quantities
and more cheaply utilized than any
where else and nowhere else are the four
found to anylarge extent in the same
country, We have more than half Of the
standing timber of the United States, fur
nishing facilities for woodworking in-
terests equal to those of the entire
country at present, Producing three
fourths Of the worlds cotton crop, we
only one-tenth of what
We raise. OF the 100000 spindles
n the world, the South has only 5,OOO|
700, We have now demonstrated that
Ne can produce iron and steel and cot
on goods at lower cost than any
'ther country. and in the development
4 these industries there is practically |
10 limit. If we could consume at
ono the cotton that we produce, it
7ould require an investment of over

eing worth $3OO,OOO.O00 a yea, would

GODS bring into the South from ST..
100000 to $1,5OO.OO6,OOO year.
We have the natural resources to pro-
uce as much iron and steel as the
'nited States is now making, and the 7

agreements will need that much from
le South. We have unlimited water

"The Bicycle Trust will throw our

more than 500 statesmen, by cutting

BURIED ALIVE.

morning at Chicago, will remain under
ground without food or water for 21(
nours' but he will be supplied it'll all
through a wooden pipe. His grave wal
dug and the burial took place in tn,
presence Of large crowd of persons
more or less sceptically inclined, bu
who were unable to find any SUSPICION
flaws in the arrangements. Beno's las
statement was that the feat was made
possible by series OF induced sleeps
which he termed "trance slumbers.
These last IL hours each, and at th,
end of each he converses with the aud
fence present through the wooden tube
which is his only connection with the
outer world.
Thousands of persons visited his grave
on Monday and Tuesday and conyersec
with Beno through the wooden tube
His face was visible through a glass
placed in such position that his fea
ures, though not his body, could b.
seen. Beno says his "trance slumbers'
would maintain him, and that it would
make no difference to BIN if he haC
neither light nor air.
1t was possibly s O'Clock on Saturday
night when two grave diggers appeared
at the place selected and began to pre-
pare the grave. Beno, who boasts thai
he is without sense of feeling, taste OF
smell, was all ready for the ordeal, fol
he was dressed in deep black. He took
with him as his only solace pocket
mirror, He slipped into the casket,
babe farewell to the crowd and was
lowered into the hole in the ground.
The cover OF the coffin wa nailed down
and the earth filed in over it, l. wing
nothing but the ventilation tube above
the surface of the ground.
Beno awoke at midnight Monday
night and talked to the crowd. He
will remain buried nine days, and will
be watched closely by scientific men.
Beno declares that it is impossible
for him to experience pain, and that he
can drive an awl into his skull so deep
that he can hang chair on its handle.
Red hot needles passed through his
flesh cause him no annoyance, he says.
Beefsteak tastes the same to him as
eggs, he declares, while the only way
he can tell paris green from sugar is by
the color.
Beno says that he recently ate large
quantity Of paris green, following it up
with doses OF arsenic and belladonna.
Then he smoked a cigar and smiled at
the doctors who were waiting 10 pump
him out if he began to get i'll, but the
deadly drugs had no effect upon him.
In the Cook County Hospital Beno
astonished the surgeons some time ago
by allowing them to cut his head open
taking an anaesthetic. He had
broken off an awl in his skull and he
wanted the pieces of steel removed. He
said he did not feel the operation.
Beno says he can pass into state of
coma at will and sleep for days without
nourishment He declares he has sold

tai, in New York, for $4,000. Upon
