Richmond, Va. March S.-The senate

the minority report of the committee APP
pointed to investigate the dismissal of
Clerks Lanier. Newly and Tyler from
the service of the corporation commission,
and the alleged malfeasance or misfeas-

This report says that none of the per-

ginia Corporation company" by Judge b.
T. Crump, chairman of the commission
"and the sanction given by him TO the
shareholding, and work performed for
said company after office hours by La
nicr was grave error of judgment and
an act of indsereton; that the decision
of the committee to ask for the resigna
ton of Major Lanier under the eircum-
stances, was an eminently proper one"
and that while John Upshur Chief clerk
to the commission), has acted In this
matter with honesty of purpose, yet ow-

of injury on his part, the seriousness of
the situation of affairs in the office of

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Many New Industries Are Established
In the South.

Chattanooga, March -(Special)-The
investment and development movement
which has been dominant throughout the
south with more than usual strength for
the past two years seems to gather mo-
mentum as the months pass by, and the
activity. In these lines is greater today
than during any of the roseate periods in
the history of this section. A convincing
illustration of this point is found In the
weekly summaries prepared by The
Tradesman, compiled from the verified
reports received by that conservative and
reliable trade publication whose efforts
are confined to exploiting the business in
terests of the southern states. The ac-
complaining list of new industries estab-
lished in the south is the record of just
one week. the six days period ending
today. Among the new concerns will be
observed three or more which are cap
italized at $5OO,OO0 and one whose author
lied capital is 100000. It should be ex-
planned that in this weekly report only
the more important new Industries are
noted there being doubtless many with
small capitalization that are not intended
to be included in the list. This is a most
important and significant showing for the
south-a reliable mirror in which is, re-
fiected the greatest industrial movement
that this section has ever experienced. Its
careful persual will be a means of posi-
tive instruction to those who are inter
ested in the great growth of the south.
The Trademarks list for new industries
established in the south during the week
ending today is as follows:
Alabama-Lineville. $4,000 development
company: Sheffield, 100000 land company;
Columbia $1,000 naval stores company; At
more, $4,000 saw mill; Admission, Roofing

Studying for the Stage.

Sarah Bernhard in Success Magazine
l wrote some time back, that there is
no end to the work of studying for the
stage, and it is so. There is much to
learn, and many, many books must be
read. The student should read first, of
course, the dramatists OF his own lam
guage, then those of other countries. AL
ways he should read with understanding
and with the object of learning something.
Superficial reading of anything that is not
in itself superficial is waste of time.
A dramatic student must study as she
reads, must learn the history of every
country in order to be able to portray
historical characters with accuracy, and
must be conversant with the great litera-
ture of all lands in order to fully I'M
derstand the thoughts and feelings of
those she impersonates.
The wider the knowledge of the won-
an, the greater the ability of the act-
ress. If one has an aptitude for one of
the arts or science, by all means she
should study that art or science. To
learn as much as possible of everything
should be the chief aim of dramatic
scholar, for all arts, all professions. all
trades. and all conditions of life have
their bearing on the art of acting. There
is. no limit to the number and variety
of the subjects that may be studied with
advantage, and one never reaches point
where constant study ceases TO be a me-
cessty.
Purposely, 1 have avoided until now
mentioning one thing that Is extremely.
important. 1t is not a thing that can
be studied; 1t is not even something that
can be defined. In the dramatic pro-
fession, however. it counts. possibly. more
than in any other occupation. l have
refrained from mentioning 1t until the
last because 1 desire to impress it on my
readers.
I will put it in this way:
The microbe of success is personal mag
netism.
