Ocoiui Frontage of Southeastern
Third of Union Kxccods That of
the Remainder.
Nearly 100 Southern cities were
represented at Atlanta Wednesday
at the first annual convention of the
Southern Commercial Secretaries'
t
association.
Statistics showing the South's resources
were given by G. Grosvenor
Dawe of Montgomery, managing director
of the Southern Commercial
congress.
Mr. Duwc took as nis memo me
potentiul greatness of the Southern
States.
"Viewed from the point of coast
line, It Is veil to understand that the
Southern States possess an-enormous
advantage over tlit; other two-thirds
of the United States; for the coast
line of the Southern States Is 3,007
miloR, while the coast line of the
North Atlantic States is 888 miles;
of the Pacific coast 1,057 miles.
"The natural advantages of const
line are already asserting their influence,
for we are able to say that
a Southern port still holds the second |
position for exports among all the!
ports of the United States-?New Orleans
in 1000?and now a Southern |
port that nine years ago was wrecked
and rent by storm, the port of Galveston
"We are ab'o to show you thai
the exports along the gulf now ox- i
eeed the exports of Philadelphia and I
Pof ten by 81 per ceTP. and the.'
o jual n ore than 5 0 oi: cent of t.h?
to'a. which belongs to the oversha '
o\t'.k>}Z port of New Vor t. The tabl?'
of exports for 190 0 and 1 9 08 show
that 2 7 per cent growth in exports
has taken place in New York, Philadelphia
and lloston regarded together.
During this same time the gulf
exports increased 31 per cent.
Imports Increasing.
"In the matter of imports?goods I
coming to America for distribution
f ?you will find that while the three
great ports above mentioned have in-.
creased 2 7 per cent, the Southern
porta have Increased 97 per cent. Is
it not reasonable to claim that the
Southern States, by reason of their
coast line, are coming to occupy an
important relation to the maritime
future of the United States?
"When we consider also that all
this swing of commerce is taking
place prior to the completion of the '
Panama canal and that the Panama
canal will help to pull Southward
every inter-oceanic movement, you
t must realize that the Southern ports
will be on the very front doorstep
of the world's future commercial
movements.
* "We also declare that the rivers
of the South, navigable, and therefore
some day to be brought into
co-operation with the energetic men
of th?> South, are more than two to
one when compared with any other
portion of the United States. The
national conservation commission has
reported that there <*re iti -the United
States navigable streams amounting
t to 26,410 miles. ' How much of ttiis
is in the South? Over 18,215 miles.
"This enormous total does not include
a single utile of the Ohio,
though it benefits Southern Stated
through 900 miles. Neither does
this total include any portion of the
Missouri river. If the Mississippi be
regarded as a feeder for the gulf
commerce the mileage should be 2.'.,69
1 miles. Tills leaves only 2,719
mites of navigable streams to affect
the commercial prospects of the remaining
two-thirds tof it ho United
States.
Water Power Potential.
"The vast Appalachian range, the
j greatest mountain range in the United
States, lying within the region of
plentiful rainfall, is producing at
present, unharnessed, every moment
of every day 5,000,000 horsepower.
The day is coming when, through

United States, you will see that t.ho

WANTS CENSUS JOBS
HOKDKS OF APPLICATIONS FOK
CENSUS SUPERVISORS
And Enumerators Are Pothering Congressman?Many
Democrat* Seek
to Got on Pay Hull.
Members of Congress from South
Carolina, and elsewhere, art* having
the very life dogged out of them in
consequence of the hordes of applicants
for census supervisors and
enumerators.
Months ago, when the census bill
was lirst taken up for discussion by
Congress, prospective applicants all
over the country thought it a good
time to have their names annexed to
the government pay roll. Some ol
them lost little time in acquainting |
their respective Congressmen with
this fact, and the result is that some
of the members are at their wit's
ends to know how to stave off more
a pplicants.
The Democrats throughout the
country have been told that they are
to ha\ e fair consideration in the selection
of supervisors, and that If a
certain district is represented in
Congress by a Republican a supervisor
of faith will be appointed, and
just the opposite if the district happens
to be represented by a Democrat.
That does not seem to be a
good plan, however, for not a few
Senators have been asking whether
or not they are to be eliminated in
the selection of these officials. Apparently
it is one time when the
members of the lower house have it
their way.
Representative Livingston, of
Georgia, the ranking Democrat on
the House appropriating committee
Friday stated that if the Democrats
get anything good from the distribution
of ofllces in the compiling of the
next census they must "light for it"
before the President If they were in
earnest in wanting these places, because
that would probably be the
only way they could land them.
Another Southern Congressman ?
Adamson, of Georgia, said that he
didn't think the Democrats would
have much of a show; in fact that it
would be no more reasonable to expect
consideration of the President
in this matter than It would be to
ask him to ignore Republicans and
appoint Democrats for other ofllces.
Supervisors will receive
straight salary, and, in addition, will
bo paid at the rate of $1 for each
one thousand of population in their
respective districts. The work will
not cover a very Iong period of time,
and as the actual labor of counting
the people and securing other data
will devolve upon the enumerators,
It will be a comparatively easy task
for the supervisors. The worst worried
men now are the Congressmen,
who are trying to satisfy their hungry
constituents.

"The Southern States as a whole

merec of the world than either of tin

"The meaning of this summing uf
of Southern opportunities is this:
and none but the blind will fail to
see it. That there is to come a time
in the history of the United States

Chariotte Singleton was most horribly
burned, In fact, there remained
nothing of the body but portions of
the trunk and the head. Acting
Coroner Bohren* held an Inquest
over the remains and the Jury rendered
a verdict of accidental burning.
The negroes lost everything In the
house. The house was on fire when
they awoke, and the rapid spread of
the llames made it impossible to render
any aid to the old negres. The

A dispatch from New York says '
what was at tlrst thought to have
been a Fourth of July casualty, the.1
police now believe \\as a successful
plot to murder. Joseph Fagano, a
cigar manufacturer, was shot through
tlw heart by a ritle ball as he was
about to climb into bis 1 > *il in a I
roar room on the third floor of his
home at 2118 Chrystie street. His
wife diil not hear tie* report of a ;
shot and it was not until his clothing
was removed that the bullet
wound was discovered. The first police
on the scene attributed tie- death
to a bullet fired by persons cele- ,
brating the holiday, as there was i
much shooting immediately after |
midnight.
Later, however, Mis. Pagano do
clared that the life of her husband
had been threatened because of
troubles among certain Italian secret
societies. Then the police investigated
further and found that Pagano
nan been snot by a rifle ami not by
;i pistol.
A number of detectives were pi ned
on the case, and before daylight
four men were found on the roof ot
a building across the street. They .
were hiding behind a light .-haft, and
were arrested. In a room occupied
by two of the men on the fourth I
floor of the building was found a ri- j
lie which had been discharged recently.
The location of the wound on
I'agano's body and the course of j
the bullet Indicated that the shot j
had been lired from this building I
across the area way.
At the police station the four I
prisoners refused to malte a statement.
Accepting the theory that
l'agano was murdered, the police believe
that his assassins planned to
kill him on the Fourth of July so
that their shot would have been ;
drowned in the noise of the general
celebration.
