WEEKLY REVIEW
Of Nef Industries Formed
in Dixie Land During
the Past Week.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Apr. 1.-THE
record OF new industries established in
the south during the past week, as re-
ported to The Tradesman, is seen by
the accompanying list, in which the
more important new ventures are
given. In all the states of the south
it has been a busy week, and Texas
leads them all in the number and va
riety of new investments, with the
states of Kentucky, Oklahoma and
Tennessee not far behind in the pro-
cession. A study of tlte list will show
that money by the millions is being
poured into the development of south
ern resources, and yet there is room
for more in every field of enterprise.
The tradesman's list for the week is as
follows:
Alabama.
Evergreen-Cotton sin.
MontgOmery-Sash and door fac
tory
Mobile-Cement works
Tallapoosa-S2 100000 yarn mill

Last Ninht's PLAY.

4 little three-act comedy, entitled
Hearts and Diamonds" was pre-
scented last night at the opera house
by home talent. under the able direc-
ton of Miss Beatrice White, of Pen
saCOla.
The affair was both a social and
dramatic success. The house was
well filled. in fact, nearly every seat
was occupied The audience was a
representative one, and many faces
were seen last night that are seldom
seen at the opera house.
Most of these people went there

prepared 10 be entertained but were
greatly surprised at the professional
like manner in which the play was
handled, and Miss White is TO be
complimented for the great success
of Hearts and Diamonds because
every member of the cast showed the
careful training of an experienced
hand.
The cast however, was carefully
selected, and very little Improvement
could have been suggested.
The play went off without the usual
bitches. incidental to amateur per
fOrmances and there was not a drag
nor a dull moment throughout.

New York, Jan. 21.-First prices of
stocks showed violent rebounds from
last weeks depression. Business
was on a large scale and widely dis
tributed. Gains ran from a fraction
up TO point throughout the list and
were wider in many cases.
Sold on the Bulge.
While the entire market went down
under the impetus of the realizing or
ders that came out on the bulge of
prices, only few stocks receded a
point or more. The market then be-
gan to make UP its lost ground, so
that the average of prices was even
higher than at the start. Business.
however, fell off greatly in volume
after the first rush to execute orders.
The demand diminished at the higher
level, and prices slipped back. The
general list was not much affected,
and gave evidence of support. Bonds
were irregular.

the middle of January, 1885. and in
less than six weeks had a sound cover

than twenty years having elapsed, the
cicatrix is perfectly sound and has
none of the pickering and stiffness so
often seen in cicatrices where human
CRAFTS have been used DR. Ranking

James Bryce, who Comes TO This
Country an Ambassador.
The selection of James Bryce as
British ambassador to the United
States has met with much praise on
both sides of the Atlantic, and the
choice is an unusual one. in that Mr..
Bryce has never served in a diplomatic
position before 1t is considered that
he confers dignity upon the position.
for he is not only n statesman of
high type, but scholar of varied and
exceptional attachments. He is best
known in America as the author of
1.-The American Commonwealth which
is esteemed by many the most discrim-
mating, frank and yet friendly crit
icism Of our republic and its institu-
tons ever written. The American state
department was sounded by the Brit
ish government on the subject Of Mr..
Bryce's appointment previous to his Sc
lection for the post. and the reply Of
our government was to the effect that
his appointment would be especially
acceptable. 1t is said to be the first
chosen to represent the British empire
at Washington. 1t was thought that
Mr.. Bryce would be raised to the peer
age before leaving England for this
country, but 1t is now reported he will
refuse rank and title of this kind, thus
showing his sympathy with demo
cratic ideas.

Potatoes scarce? Wen should
say not. There are SO many potatoes
in the country that no profits will be
made in handling them," said prom.
inent grocer yesterday. Apples and
beans fall in the same class with the
spuds. These three commodities have
flooded the market owing to their plen-
tifulness. Home grown potatoes are
selling for 60 cents per bushel while
the shipped or Michigan varieties are
selling for 40 cents. Apples sell for
$1.OO, but many farmers are retailing
them out as low as 60 and 70 cents
per bushelI. The majority of the farm
ers, however, are satisfied with the
wholesale price, which we pay for
them, and they bring their goods di-
rectly to us as it saves the bother of
peddling. We have had considerable
trouble in storing our apples as they
are rotting faster this year than usu-

ancestors came to this country from
England and settled in Connecticut in
1855 Before the Revolution broke
out the family lived on farm at West
Hills. Whitman's father married
Louisa Van Velsor. the daughter of a
Dutch farmer. in 1916, and the poet,
who was the second of their nine chill
dren. was born in the now venerable
farmhouse in 1919. During his child
hood his parents removed to Brook
lyn. His career was associated with
Huntington at later period when
he edited the Long Islander, still
published in this historic village. His
works contain many references to the
scenes of his childhood. The old
Whitman homestead is now the prop
erty of Franklin +. Rogers Of Brook
1yn borough, New York city, and an
effort is being made by the Whitman
Fellowship to purchase and preserve
it. The Colonial society of Huntington
has placed a tablet in memory of Whit

The oats market opened firm, but

same is the case with the members of
the Swiss diet. They are rewarded
with S4 a day on condition that they
do not absent themselves from work.
To go farther east. it is found that
Roumania thinks her lawmakers worth
SIS a day. Four dollars is the daily
wages of those who compose the Bull
garian sobranje. but members who live
in the capital get only SIS daily.
Denmark is about the stingiest Of al.
European countries so far as remuner-
ating her legislators is concerned Dan
ish members of parliament get only
$1.5O day. but. on the other hand,
they have the odd privilege of free
seat in the Royal theater at Copenha-
gen.
While the members of the German
reichstag are not salaried, the law
makers of the various German states
do not work for nothing. Saxe-Coburg
members of parliament are paid about
S3.25, those of Bavaria $3.50 and of
Hesse 1928.
At first sight Hungary seems to do
her lawmaking on the cheap plan, for
her members get 1000 a year in cash
But they are not so badly off after ALL
for liberal allowance is made into
the bargain for house rent Austria
Hungary's two legislative assemblies
cost the country about 100000 year
in all. Both in Austria and Hungary
legislators can travel first class with
second class tickets
Besides the United Kingdom, Italy
and Spain are the only countries which
pay nothing to the members of parlia-
ment
In Portugal also the state does not
remunerate legislators. but they re-
eeive free railway passes. and their
constituencies are legally permitted to
pay those who represent them a sum
OF about 1919 for each days session.
