What It Will be.
m walter G. Murphy, formerly Of
North Carolina, but for number OF
wears resident in this city, has taken "a; an
active part in arranging for the parma
rnant He has been designated TO con-
s duct the correspondence and TO arrange
the details Of the convention. Dr.. Mur-
z ply said to-day:
mo assemblagf of Southern representa-
tives since the adjournment Of tho seces-
sion Convention in Charleston, 5. y, IN
1861, is fraught with greater intelest ~
he people of the South than the southern
Industrial Parliament which VIII con-

ion was secession, disunion, fraternal
strife and war. The object Of the com

the brains of number of Southern con-
eressmen, who felt that the time had
come for an official announcement, that
in the South laws were favorable t.

nrivnte rights were firmly upheld and
maintained
"At first, it was contemplated to have
ISL a few representative men from the south
assemble in Washington and publish an
address upon the Industrial conditions
existing there, which. in railroad build
ing, manufacturing, mining, numbering,
q commerce and agriculture will be shown
by the official records of the Department
of Commerce and Labor to be In most
gratifying condition
#aF"The announcement was most favor
ably received Not only did it meet with
# a cordial reception from the business men
ins the South, but the Governors of eight
States answered that they would send
& delegations from Virginia, North Carolina
South Carolina, Georgia, Alab ama, Florl
da and Louisiana.

"There has heretofore been wide mis-,
apprehension on two subjects which has
done tho Southa great injustice. They
are that the sanitary conditions are un
salubr!ous, and that. vested rights were
not held as sacred as elsewhere. AS 9
matter of fact, there was some repudia
lion in the South after the war. bu
these debts were contracted by men no
having the best interest of the Soutl
at heart and the taxpayers felt that thu
Indebtedness was unjust and their State
