SOUTHERN NOISE,

Among the more important OF the new
Southern industries reported last week
are a 100000 fertilizer plant at Char
leston, S. c.; q s1,o0o,0O0 Manganese and
ron Company. at Stanton, Va; $780,
900 packing company at Bristol, va;
100000 Oil company at Fort Worth,
Texas and a 100000 oil company at Hal
iettSyille, Texas.
Gotten seed Oil, grown and made, II not
refined. in the South has become the
subject OF crusades at the hands of IN
friendly legislators. The Grout oleomar-
garine bill strikes at Gotten seed Oil rs
well as other articles. The oil from
cotton seed is both nutritious and health
giving, and it enters into the composition
of both lard and butter, as those terms
are commercially understood. 1t goes
into oleomargarine. The dairy farmers
of the North are demanding bill that
will protect their products While 1t con-
dennis the oil product of Southern farm
ers This is the Grout bill. 1t has passed
the House, but it is hung up in the SEN
ate, and there it should stay.
The decision of the Southern Industrial
Association to accept the invitation OF
Philadelphia to assemble there in the
coming June is most opportune and can
not fail to be of wide benefit to this
whole section. The South is the bound
ing, growing section of the Union. The
cotton belt has pushed farther and far
Their north every year, and the PROPOSE
ton of to-day is to push up the fence
lines and include Philadelphia The
movement to secure this convention was
started by Colonel ~. *. Mcclure, who
has been a constant believer in Southern
opportunities. He has made annual visits
South, always bringing messages of hope
and fraternity. That we should now
answer his invitation is highly proper,
1t is very important that a good list
OF speakers should be selected-men
handy with fgurcs-who can tell the
story of what we have with business eff
feet.

oil one Of the Paterson silk companies,

An EARLY PRIMARY.

We take it that q primary election will
certainly be held in this city to select
Democratic nominees for the Constitu-
and we think the suggestion an adrnira-
bic one. that the primary be held as soon
as practicable, SO that those who shall be
selected may begin ct once to study the
subject Of constitutional revision. The
candidates are all busy men. and no one
of them cares TO take the time necessary
to master this subject, unless he be NOR
ally certain that he is going to the con-
vention. But as soon as the primary
shall have been held and the delegates
practically selected. each one of them
will so TO work at once and prepare him
self for the convention ordeal.
Moreover, after the nominations have
been made the citizens generally will be
disposed TO so to the nominees and make
suggestions in the line Of constitutional
revision. and as much time as practica BILE
should be allowed between the time of
selecting the delegates and the conven-
ton date. The Richmond Democrats are
rs well prepared now as they will be
later on to vote, and we think that the
best ends are to be served by having an
carly convention
1t is also TO be hoped that there viii
be no scramble in this contest, and that
the candidates will not use money in
making their canvass. Let it be a clean
and open and a fair contest, and may
the best man win.
General Don Valeriano Weylerv, of
Nicolau, continues to demonstrate that as
great military strategist and tactisian
he is far behind the procession. His re-
lease of the presideat of the Madrid Cab

The Mule I'm Hypnotism.

Max Carnaveaux, who gives exhibit
tions Of his power in hypnotism, has
decided that in future he will be more
careful in the selection of his sub
jects for experiment. One of his
favorite tricks was to persuade the
man who submitted to him for test
that he was mule, and great merri-
ment always followed the mulish an
tics of the victim while he was under
the hypnotic influence. But one day,
down in Lyndon, Kan, Mr.. Carna-
veaux, feeling unusually sprightly
and jovial, presumed little too far
on the good nature and geniality of
the mule pro tenn, and, carried away
by the strength of hypnotic sugges-
ton, the man under the spell sud
denly kicked out with great violence
and struck the hypnotist in the hand,
fracturing one of the bones. For 9
few weeks, therefore, there have been
no hypnotic experiments of any sort
and Mr.. Carnaveaux has made up his
mind to give up the mule trick and
rely ON animals of more peaceable
and reliable dispositions.-Youth's
Companion.
