and they are still adding to
their usefulness in this
direction. But best OF all,
probably, in the way OF new
influences, is the coming OF
practical business men from
Northern and Western
sections. Go to a Southern
city to-day and you will find
these men not only making
money rapidly but taking
active part in the social and
political life. Then, too, the
large profits which the cotton
mil and other factories are
making will attract in greater
measure those who have
money to invest and those
who wish to utilize the
opportunities.
LEGITIMATE DEVELOPMkNT
The figures of the growth
Of the South since the Civil
War seem more miracle than
fact. In many States values
have increased tenfold; in
some particular spots a
hundred and a thousand
fold. There was a time, not
many years ago, when the
South received a setback
second only in its disa strous
effects to the Civil War, and
that was through the out
break Of speculation and the
almost universal exploitation
of land booms. But all that
has gone. The people have
recovered and have settled
down to the normal, and now
the growth is legitimate de-
velopment, ard thus all who,
wanting to change their
abode, have gone there are
finding out that it lisa goodl:

Stationary Firemen Out.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1.-THE
strike order of President Mullahay of
the Stationary Firemen's association
of Pennsylvania was promptly obeyed
yesterday morning, when 900 members
of the organization in this section of
of the strikers are employed at the
coal mines. and their failure to report
for duty caused nearly all the collier
les in the northern anthracite region
to suspend operations, throwing out of
work, it is estimated, 10000 men and
boys Some of the individual opera
tors conceded the demands of their
employees on condition that the short
hour day was not to hold if the men
employed by the big companies did not
get the same concessions.

dering Mrs. John p. Dunning of Della
ware, are preparing TO carry her case

They will file a petition in the state
court for write of habeas corpus
The case will be carried TO the federal
supreme court on a writ of error,
eventually. In the petition for writ
of habeas corpus two new points on
the question of jurisdiction will be
raised. First, that the sending of a
box of poisoned candy through the
mails which caused the death of Mrs.
Cunning and her sister, Mrs. Deane,
was not crime in this state; second,
that the constitution of the United
States prohibits the trial of an accused
person except in the state where the
crime was actually committed.
