Ii a woman is physically miserable

The mental misery of the prospective

TO SOUTHERN MEN
Philadelphia Turns Her Keys
Over to Dixie’s Delegates
CITY LAVISHLY DECORATED
Southern Industrial Convention Began
Its Annual Convention In the City
of Brotnerly Love Yesterday.
Speeches of Welcome.
Philadelphia, Juno 11.—Delegates num
bering several hundred and representing
all of the Southern States and most of
the principal cities of the South are at
tending the annual Southern Industrial
convention which began a four days’ se
slon In horticultural hall hers today. This
is tho first time the convention has been
held In the North, and it la expected that
great benefits will accrue to the commer
cial and industrial Interests of tho North
and the South through tho deliberations
of the delegates.
Preparations for the present gathering
had been in progress since last February,
when an Invitation was extended by the
allied commercial and business organiza
tions of Philadelphia to the Southern In
dustrial Association to come here and
debate ways and means for furthering
the trade of the two sections. The dele
gates found a heartfelt welcome awaiting
them, the State and city Joining in the
effort to render the visitors’ sojourn as
pleasant as It is expected to be profitable.
The business houses in the center of the
city have been gayly decorated with flags
and bunting and tonight the exterior of
the city hall was a blaze of electric lights
in honor of the occasion.
The welcome to the city’s guests con
sumed all of the morning session, at
which welcome addresses were delivered
by Governor Stone agd Mayor Ashbrldge.
Responses were made by Governor
Bonglno of Mississippi and Mayor Rig
gings of Waco, Texas. The afternoon

of tho Interior Hoke Smith of Atlanta,
Ga, and Robert C. Ogden of Philadelphia,
president of the Southern EducatlonaJ
Conference. Tb® day's events concluded

by Mayor Ashbrldge at the city hall.
Th® convention was called to order by
President H. H. Hargrove of the associa
tion, several hundred delegates being
in attendance. Bishop Foss of this city
offered prayer. Governor William A.
Stone of Pennsylvania aroused the en
thusiasm of the delegates in his address
of welcome by frequent reference to the
splendid resources of the South.
Governor Stone’s Speech.
Governor Stone said in part:
“There never was but one period in our
history when we were not glad to see
the representatives of the South. We
hope to make our relations more neigh
borly. We want to trade with you. We
realize the South is the greatest mission
field for commerce in the world. We
recognize that commerce is inspired by
the hope of profit and not by sentiment.
The South produces two-thirds of all the j
cotton in the world and makes Very lit
tle of the finished product.
\‘If we can make steel products and tin
plate in this city and under-sell Wales
you can make cotton products and under
sell England. What the South needs is
not carpet-baggers, but carpet bags full j
of capital. We make many things you
need and you produce things we need.
Let us sell to each other. We do not care
who has the balance of the trade. We
are one people, speaking one language,
under one flag.”
A felicitious address of welcome was
made by 'Mayor Ashbridge during which
he presented President Hargrove with
the keys of the city. John H. Converse,
president of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, and Attorney John P. Lewis wel
comed the delegates on behalf of the
commercial organizations of the city.
In response to the address of welcome
President Hargrove spoke of the re
sources of the Southern states.
President Hargrove's Speech.
“The southern states," said Mr. Har
grove, "contain one-fourth of the area
of the Union and the territory has prac
tically as great an agricultural produc
tion as the remainder of the country
combined.
“Its capacity In raw material is almogt
beyond measurement. This section has S3
per cent of the population of the United
States. It raises all of its cotton and cot
ton seed, and American rice; 80 per cent
of Its tobacco; contains 66 per cent of
Its timber resources; 30 per cent of its
coal area; 20 per cent of its coal produc
tion; produces 17% per cent of its iron
and furnishes 80 per cent of the American
pig Iron exported; is the third largest
can sugar producing section of the world;
contains more coast and river frontage
than all the other states; has 30 per cent
of railroad dleage and affords the cheap
est lumber building material, lands, cot
ton, coal and oil and living in the Uni
ted States."
In concluding President Hargrove said
that If ^he south had an adequate popu
lation and finance. It could forge that
section ahead of the rest of the world.
Gov. A H. Longlno of Mississippi fol
lowed President Hargrove in a patriotic
address. He said in part:
“I believe, as did that great southern
statesman, jurist and patriot, L. Q. C.
Lamar, as expressed in his eulogy of
Charles Sumner, when he said: ‘If the
people north and south knew and under
stood each other better, they would love
each other mors.*
“By a more liberal view as well as of
our respective and distinctive advantages
of wealth, all sections would become more
prosperous and happy in the exercise of
mutual aid, the interchange of energies, .
good will, business push and progression,
the consummate ends of which are among
the purposes and hopes of this conven
tion.’*
Mayor Higgins of Waco, Texas, was the
last speaker. He asserted the south had
forgotten the late unpleasantness and
was anxious to Join hands with the north
for the commercial benefit of both sides.
This afternoon the delegates and ladles
of the party enjoyed an excursion on the
Delaware river, visiting points of interest
on the river front.

To Be Torn Out Next Week!
IT KAS COME QUICKER THAN WE EXPECTED! We thought our present
building would not be molested until the body of the great new
extension had been up and covered. But the workmen have
surprised us—they’re preparing to pull down the intervening wall
next week. This puts an entirely new face on the situation.
The thing is just this: This work of building our new addition
is being pushed as we have never seen such work pushed before,
and at the rate the work is now progressing our “greater store”
will be ready long before we anticipated. This means to us that
what we do we have got to do it quick—we’ve got to reduce our'
stock—and do it now! It means to you that this great op
portunity to get seasonable goods of the best quality at
an average of less than three-fourths of their bargain
