of Philadelphia, and representatives
of various trade bodies. Governor
Stone sahl that Pennsylvania |
was always glad to welcome guy
representatives of the Southern States.
"Every one recognizes," he said
"that the South to-tlay is the greatest
missionary lield for commerce in the
world. We recognize that the South
produces two-thirds of all the cotton
of the world and makes into finished
product very littLe of it. This should
not be continued. The Soutn's manufacturing
capacity should he developed.
and she would then make cotton
goods for the world."
Mayor Aslibridgo assured the delegates
to the city that Philadelphia had
much which they could use, and thai
to increase the commerce between this
city and the South would be mutually
beneficial.

One of the indignities was to apologize

This was on n lonely street and his
persecutors were not molested. After
making him go through about an

him with light switches, to the Lehigh
