New York manager of the North Caroliua Immi
grafton Office The Office was established to fur
nish information to people who are seeking homes
John r. Patrick. North Carolina State lmmlgra
tion Agent, was in the Office yesterday.
In speak king Of the State and the inducements
offered to those looking for desirable homes, MT
Patrick said that the first inducement onered Dy
North Carolina was the low price OF fertile land
situated within reach of good markets. A. an
example, q farm of a hundred acres III warren
county Of which seventy-tiRe acres are under cul-
tiyatiOn situated six miles from railroad station
and one mile from public school, is offered at So
an acre on easy terms. There Is dwelling OF nVe
rooms, and there are four out0uildlhgS. Ine slt-
uation is hcalthful and the climate Is delightful

"'The owner must be anxious to get away from
his neighbors" ." was suggested to Mr. Patrick.
"On the contrary, the owner does not want TO
Get away, Circumstances have made that owner,
rs well as many Others land poor. They have the
land living idle 1t is better to sell cheap. TO get
NOrther enterprise they will sell cheaper TO
Northern men than their own neighboTs. Ihere
are plenty OF Northern men now scattered through
the State who viii tell their own stories of what
they have, and how they are treated"
All that farmer needs for start IN NOFth Car
olina is a good character and enough capital to
buy his food till his crop comes III. There are
hundreds OF young farm labOrers in the North
with never a hope Of bettering their condition,
where land is 500 an acre, who, if they would
take their families to North Carolina, could be-
come INDEPENDENTLY rich. There are OPpOrtunl-
ties outsid OF grain cotton, tobacco and daires.
We are organizing c0lony with u tcenchman at
its head that is going into the silk and wine busi-
ness in Richmond county. Both industries Will
be found immensely profitable.
This is an example Of how other States push
business. These North Csrolians are in dead
earnest in this matter OF immigration TO their
State, and so have established an Office and
show room for the products OF their State, right
at the centre of immigration to this country /;
where they can show the immigrant what can
nc done in the way Of agricultural produce
in that state, and so induce him 10 buy lands
tmere.
The State OF Delaware passed a so-called i'm.
migration bill last winter, providing for the up
pOintment of three commissioners OF immigrs-
tion, but it turned out that the title of the bill
was misnomer and that it should have been
The Delaware State Intelligence Office Act"
These North Carolina people are by the ignO-
rant and prejudced, termed " tar'heeerS," P" and
it is said by such people that n North Carolina
man never has any hair on his breast, beceuse
he wears it all of in climbing perAmmOu
trees, in order TO get something to eat. Others
of the same ignorant class say that the stand
ing diet of the North CarOlinianS is sweet potatoes
and peanuts, with now and then as a drlicacy,
persimmOns stewed In terpentine, and that the
children instead Of being brought up on their
mothers milk, suck the small end Of the worm
of a still aud mbibe " mOonahine." Be this as
It may, it appears to be a good brain-makng
diet, and we strongly recommend to Delaware
that she establish such al Office in New York
CITY. So sanguine have we felt that such an
Office would be productive OF good to our people
that the editors of the MILFORD CHRONICLE seri-
ouslv contemplated, last summer, the estab
lishment OF such a perpetual exhibition IN
that city of the products Of the soil and factories
of our State. We could not command the cap.
