II 10 O national absurdity that such
large proportion Of the cotton Of the
south, at great expense, should be sent
north ia order to be transferred into
useful fabrics. The few factories al
the south are the pioneers Of innumer-
able spindles which are soon to begin
the hum Of the grand march on the
banks of the Savannah and the Appa-
lachicola and the Tombigbee. There Is
Georgia with its So, 900 square miles;
there Is Alabama with its 80, 1872 square
miles; there is South Carolina with its
"a, 900 square miles; there is North
Carolina with its so. .704 square miles,
and other states, not ten per cent. Of
their resources yet developed. When
will our over-crowded population in
these northern cities take the wings Of

are not too particular about the way
you go. Afraid OF the heats Why,
the thermometer in New York every
summer rises to higher point than in
Georgia or North Carolina, although in
those states the heat is more protracted.
Afraid OF the fever. The death-rate in
Georgia just equals the death-rate in
Michigan. The death-rate in Georgia,
according to the number of the popula-
ton, is less than the death-rate IN Con-
necticut and Maine. Going either west
or south you will probably have one ac-
climating attack. Il will only be diff

many Of them the very best people Of
Europe. What do mean by "best p
/ mean industrious and moral. Five
thousand people last Tuesday in and
around Castle Garden waiting for trans
portation. While you put on the extra
trains to carry them west over the
Pennsylvania and the Erie and the New
York Central, put on extra trans on
the Baltimore and Ohio, and all the
great routes 10 Charleston and Atlanta
and Chattanooga, that they may go
south. Vast opportunities opening.
Stop cursing the south, and stop lying
about the south. and 20 south aad test

their resources Of mine and plantation

the way the national difficGlty il to be

intelligent young men from the north,

build houses amid the magnolias and

Another wrong impression in regard

that the people there are antag0nislic
