PHILADELPHIA next month will hold
q Southern Industrial Convention and
hopes that every industry and every
section of the South will be represented
thereat. The merchants OF that city
are endeavoring to regain the south
ern trade they lost ct the time oil
the war between the States. Before
that unfortunate war there was q large
trade betwesn Philadelphia and all the
southern States and many OF the young
men from the Southland went there to
be educated, but with the breaking out
OF that war, during lite continuance and
after It's close, a majority OF the people
OF the city OF Brotherly Love were 30 bit
ter and vindictlve against the South and
southrons that the latter In great
measure ceased intercourse with them
and OF course the trade went 10 other
directions. Vinegar never catches flies
and it was most natural for the southern
people to pursue the course they did.
But in Philadelphia there are a number
of conservative people who now see
the mistakes that have been made and
realize that while the South may have
been impoverished, her sons are proud
and independent race and that such
land and such people are bound to CON-
msnd respect and to occupy promi-
nent position in the industrial and
political history OF the country. So ss
the South is coming to her own again,
and as her wealth, commerce and trade
are increasing, the Philsdelphiaus are
making efforts to re-sstablish them.

 gen President.

New Orleans, December 23.-The Fur pentine Operators Protective Association was organized today with a membership which included the leading turpentlne men of Louisiana and Mississippi and prominent operators in Alabama and Georgia.
 The convention which gave birth to the association was the result of the un- renlitting labors of A. Pridgen of Lake Park, Ga, who was chosen as the first president of the association. MT. Pridgen has been interested in organizing turpen- tine men every since the formation of the turpentine operators association at Jacksonville, Fla.
 This body Is practically the parent of the association formed today, although legally there are no ties between them. The reason for their technical separa- tion is to be found in the charter and bylaws of the Florida association, which includes articles which would not fit in Louisiana and Mississippi.
 Prominent Operators Present.
 When MT. Pridgen called the meeting 10 order there were present sixteen prom inent operators from Louisiana, Misss- sippi and Alabama, and others were rep- resented by proxy.
 MT. Pridgen stated the purpose of the meeting clearly and briefly. He said that lack of organization has long ham, pered turpentine operators who had found a hard row to hoe in the matter of securing labor because of the ten dency on the part of each one to iver- bid his competitor when competent hands were secured.
 Mir. Pridgen reminded his hearers that this was an age of cooperation. He thought that if the turpertine men would get together and help each other In. bet tering the conditions of the trade 1t would be put upon a much more stable basis labor could be more easily con trolled and better price would be ob-
