Northern men within their borders
The universal sentiment of the South as

do not like Northern fools any more
than we do. Any moral man who goes

will make their fortunes 1t is nation
al absurdity that so much of the cotton
of the South should be transported at
great expense to the North to be trans
formed into articles of use. The few fac
tories at the South are the pioneers of
the uncounted spindles which are yet
to begin the hum of their grand march
on the banks of the Savannah, Appala-
chicola and the Tombigbee, There
stands Georgia, North and South Carroll
mas, Alabama, with their million OF
acres, none of them with more than ten
per cent of their resources developed.
When will the overCrowded population
of our great cities betake themselves to
regions where they shall have room to
turn round and breathe and expand and
become masters of their own corn fields
or rice swamps or cotton plantations or
timber forests. Land down South from

The thermometer runs up higher every
summer in New York than in North
Carolina and Georgia, though there the
heat is more prolonged. Afraid of the
fever? The death rate Of Michigan and
Georgia are equal, while the death rate,
according to the last census Is less accor
ding to the number OF population in
Georgia than in Connecticut and Maine.
Whether you 20 West or South you will
probably have one aCClimating attack,
1t is only a different style OF fshake. The
tides of emigration into this country are
greater now than at any time in history,
| 81 ,658 emigrants last month arrived in
New York. This is only an intimation
of what is to come. Make two currents.
While you put on extra trains to take
them west put on extra rains to take
them south also. There are thousands
of fortunes waiting for men who have
enterprise to 90 and win them. The
South beck ons you to come. Stop ours

ters of the South to help them build
homes amid the magnoliss and orange
groves, and their children will be half
North and half South; and thereafter
to divide the country, you will have to
divide the children with some such a
sword as Solomon sarca tiCally proposed
for the division of the contested child,
and the Northern father will say to tue

Again. To correct the impression
that the South is bitterly against the
Government of the United States, The
South submitted TO arms certain ques
tions, and most of them are submissive
to the decision. There is no fight in
them. We hear much about fire eaters

private table and private platter and
