Direct Trade gid immigration


Direct Trade gid Immigration
Our ,enterprislng sister State OF
Georgia seems to be. fully alive to the
vital necessity of doing something in
the way of Southern regeneration,
through direct trade and foreign i'm,
migration. A Legislative Commit
tee appointed for the purpose OF re-
porting the most feasible plan of ac-
tion has recently held a session in
Macon, and together with a report
has submitted for consideration
several bills, which it is designed to
introduce into the Legislature at the
next Session. There seems to DC Gu
tire unanimity as to the necessity of
action, and very general concurrence
in the means to effect the objects in
view.
