The bull of Mr. Simmons of Sumter, to
provide bureau of immigration, has sew
eral excellent features There is no doubt
that such a bureau is needed. The COM
missioner of agriculture, Mr.. Henderson,
says that he receives hundreds of letters
from farmers in the west asking him about
the soil and climate, and other things of diff
ferent parts of the state, and that he is not
able to answer them for the want of time
and the necessary information.
IL the state had an intelligent and enthu-
siastic commissioner of immigration, it is
safe to say that the number of desirable
immigrants to the state would increase
wonderfully.
Mr.. Simmons bill seems to meet very
necessary want SO far as immigration is
concerned. II has been carefully considered
by those who have some knowledge of the
kind of immigration legislation that is
needed, and they pronounce it satisfactory.
l mere are two features concerning the mer-
its of which there can be no doubt. One is
that which provides for collecting informa-
ton about the soil, climate, mineral and
agricultural resources, prices of lands, etc.,
other is that which permits those VINO have
lands 10 sell to register them with the COM
missioner SO that immigrants can see with
out difficulty the prices at which land can
be obtained in the different parts of the
state.
The attention which the car of Georgia
products, iii charge of the commissioner
Of the Central railroad, received from the
time it left this state until it reached the
north west shows that there is an eager de-
sire to know about Georgia and her pro-
ducts.
An immigration bureau would not cost
great deal of money, willie the benefits that
would flow from it would be very great.
1t would be regarded as reliable by those
who sought information from it, and ii
would have all it could do to respond to
those inquiries. The more widely the
bureau became known, the greater the good
it would do.
The purpose of the Simmons bill is an
excellent one, and ii the bill becomes
law there is not much doubt that its pur-
pose will be realized. No one of the south
ern states, except Florida, has done much
to aid immigration, and the consequence is
that hundreds of thousands of acres in these
states are not titled, although the abandoned
fields would produce good crops.
Mr.. Simmons bill should be very care
fully considered. If it is, there is not much
danger that it will not become law. 1t
would require only small appropriation
TO put it into operation, and the state in a
few years would get lack, with compound
interest, all she spends upon it.

Two Youngsters.
From the Youths comnaaiou


Tommy was at boarding school. and it had
been decided that, for various practical reasons,
IL would be better for him to spend Thanksgiv-
ing vi h a neghboring aunt. instead OF taking
tue ionger journey home This conclusion was
announced TO him, with as much gentleness as
nossible, and in few days his father received
the following note
dearest Papa-When the turkeys in the
oven, and the 'tatoes in the pot when the cram
berry bubbles redly, and the pJddng's smoking
hot-when the nuts are cracked d waiting,
and the raisins heap the plate, and you're So

Turkey, we'll stuffed, was on the table, and
the little girl of the family found the dressing
very much to her TASTE
Give me some more of that" said she, when
she had eaten her portion.
What Mamie?'' said the mother
II leas- give me some of that"
Now. Mamie, you should ask for what you
want by name, and not say some of that"
Mamie looked distressed, but finally puckered
up her lips and said:
II want some of the clothes"

How Birmingham Las Grown. gs.

From. the Nei1 York Star
C. Smalwood, who is as well-known in New
fork as he is in the south, where he was for
merly resident. said yesterday when speak
,ng of the riots in birmingham. Ala
why, l was a resident of the vicinity of
Birmingham when that place a cornfield.
It is now city of 10000 Inhabitants, but during
the war there were sorghum and corn growing
where the houses of the city and the jail at
tackled now standing. In 1873, after the
cholera, could have bought property
there for $4,000 which is now held at $75 900
This is evidence OF the extreme growth of
the place, but in the cholera scare l. like
others, went elsewhere. | wanted to go to
old England. but if had stayed there dollars
would have grown as did the kernels of the ears

plantation, and the owner was Familiarity know.

Englishman who was locally known as the Duke

lie was not duke by birth, but was the head
Of a syndicate composed of local capitalists
who had developed the country and built up the
present city. The secret of Brmngham's
yrowth and wealth is the richness of the local
coal and iron mines, and to the development OF
these is due tue promotion of the Old corn and
sorghum plantation into q CITY.

1t is not known how much insurance the
late Col. Pulsifer, of the Boston Herald,
carried on his life, but the amount must
have been considerable. His widow has
just received 100000 from one company
and in acknowledging its receipt, she said
to the agent of the company: "You are the
first representative of the numerous CON-
panies in which my husband was interested
to call on me and settle the claim" If the
accompanies are very numerous, and if the
amounts all run into the one hundred
thousands, Mrs. Pulsifer will be a very
wealthy widow.

Railroads in Georgia.

Railroads are great developers. They
enhance the value of land and other prop
erty, build up towns along their routes, act
as business feeders, afford great advantages
in travel and freight. invite immigration
and prevent emigration.
Twenty years ago railroads in Georgia
were not appreciated as highly as they are
now, and people thought less of settling at
long distances from them. Now, however.
everybody wants to get as near a railroad
as possible. Towns through which one does
not pass are very likely to suffer, and lands
located inconveniently from one do not find
a very ready sale.
In no way is Georgia's great progress
shown more clearly than in her railroads
For quite number of years new lines have
been almost continually in process of con-
struction, and Georgia stands very near
the head of the list of states which have
made the greatest strides in railroad build
ing. But notwithstanding this, there is
need for more roads, and particularly is
this true of the lower part of the state
The new lines which have been con
stIucted taken In conjunction with the Id
and established ones, have facilitated travel
very greatly. For instance, a representa-
tive of the MORNING NEWS left Macon a
few mornings ago by the Southwestern road
for Columbus, where he arrived at a. m,
and where he remained until 410 D. m,
when he left by the Georgia Midland aud
Gulf road for Griffin, arriving in the last
named city in time for supper, after which
he took the Central train for Savannah,
reaching here next morning. Thus, in q
little more than twenty -four hours, he had
been in four cities of three different sections
Of the state, one of the cities being on the
western and another on the eastern border.
The people of Columbus did great thing
when they built the Georgia Midland and
Gulf road The road is business feeder of
that city, and it traverses a fertile section.
in which hitherto railroad was unknown,
and which it is rapidly developing. |;
forms one side of a triangle, Of which tn.
Southwestern and the Central roads form
the other sides. A few miles out of Griffin
it is crossed by the Atlanta and Florida
road-a line which also has opened up new
territory to the commercial world.
The people of Savannah should study the
railroad map of Georgia, and see if it would
not be to their interest to build some new
lines.

democratic majority in the legislature is
very small, and if the republicans and the
