presenting many sections sparse in
settlement, all states thus inviting
immigration are long established
commonwealth, with all civil, So
cial and religious organizations,
healthy, operating with systems of
education carefully administered
and enforced, and peopled by com
munities firm in their respect for
the law. 1t is, therefore not a new
country, where all the hardships of
pioneer life and the expenses of CIV
il and social organization have to
be incurred by settlers, that we in
vite immigrants seeking new homes,
but to states where all these neces-
sary provisions for the happiness
and security of the people have
been already provided for. We in
vite all who wish to enjoy these ad-
vantages to come.
AS a further evidence that the
people of the south are animated by
a desire for immigration and the
introduction of capital into their
midst. attention is called to the fact
that in almost every state there has
been established, by legislative en-
actment, a bureau of immigration
whose purpose is the inviting of
immigration and assisting immi-
grants in their procuring of suitable
homes. This is supplemented by
local associations in cities and towns
for the same purpose.
The action of this convention in
providing for a southern immigra-
ton association bureau, to be locat-
ed in New York city, with branch
offices in the north and west, rem
ders the organization for carrying
out the views and wishes of this
body complete. Through this as
the central agency, to which appli-
cation can be made for general in
formation, and with local and state
bureaus to correspond with and ar
range details for persons seeking
homes in the respective states, we
have inargurated system to which
all may confidentially look for best
practical results.
Recognizing in the railroads
which traverse the south the most
valuable agencies by which our past
progress has. been stimulated, and
to which we must look in great
part for our future advancement
and development, we have obtained
the assurance of their cooperation
in the work of promoting immigra-
ton by the establishment of a favor
able freight and transportation
rates, and we promise reciprocal
aid in providing land at cheap rates
for settlers, to all who seek homes
in the south.
Letters of endorsement were re-
ceived from several bishops of the
Episcopal Church, who regretted
their inability to attend the conven-
ton. Augusta extended an invita-
ton to the delegates to attend its
national exposition in October and
November, which was accepted
unanimously.
The convention adjourned subject

Railroads for transportation, has
caused 1T to remain virgin forest
to the present time. Now, however,
railroads are being built from all
points of the compass to this mag
nificent timber region that will
soon give all the facilities for the
transportation OF the products of
the forest that may be required.
The Marietta and North Georgia
Rail Road has already penetrated
this timber forest 10 miles from
Marietta and will soon be pushed
farther into this timber region. The
Western North Carolina Railroad
will soon form ajunction with the
Marietta and North Georgia Rail
Road, being now only 25 miles
apart, and number Of other roads
have been located and are being
constructed, so that transportation
is an assured fact. Timbers OF

A GOOD Exam GONE.
Death at Last Relieves the suHurins Of
mr.. r. 3. Tarpley.


After many months of most terrible
suffering with cancer, Mr.. r. b.
TarpIey's soul passed over the dark
river OF death few moments before
10 o'clock last night. During his
fearful ordeal, this good and most re-
markably brave man exhibited the
greatest and most wonderful fortitude
and pluck. He has been aware for
weeks that his days on earth were
numbered, yet he faced the inevet-
able with quality Of true nerve that
is very rare in the human family.
To say that r.. B. Tarpley was a
brave, and at the same time generous
man, would be putting his history
mild, but with his spirit of meekness
and modesty, this is all that is neces-
sary in this sketch.
Deceased was about 81 years of age
and leaves family, most of the
members of which arc grown. He
has beena an honored citizen of Clarks-
vile for many years, following the
business of painter; and it has only
been a few months since the firm CT
Tarpley, Day & Co., was organized of
which he was the senior member.
Mr.. Tarp'ey has never been able to
go into the firms new and pretty shop
but had frequently expressed desires
to make it a visit.
Mr.. Tarpley was a CONSTANT mem
Der Of the Baptist church; th9
Masonic Order and the Knights Of
Pythias. He was also a member of
the endowment rank of the latter
order, and a member OF Forbes
Bivouac.
The funeral services will be held at
the Baptist church at 10 o'clock to-
when Rev. A. ID. Sears will

order and knights Of Pythias will

New York Tobacco Market.


The last New York Tobacco Leaf
has this to say about the Western
tobacco:
"As described by different parties
here the situation is as folIows:"
"There seems to be little. more
general inquiry on the part of man
ufactnrers and exporters, with lots
under consideration that may or may
not be taken"
"Reports from the West show a
little better feeling. Receipts at
Louisville for the week ending Octo-
Der 26 were 23S hogsheads, against
,276 the same time in 1887. The re-
ceipts in all of the Western markets
up TO October were 125, 1856, against
PSI ,131 in 1887. The total stocks in
the Western markets on October /
were G9,795 hogsheads, against 3d.
9S7 at the same date in 1887, thus
showing that we have consumed or
appropriated all of the 1887 crop
and $4,000 hogsheads of the
surplus carried over from the 1886
crop. We know that there are still
eight months within which depen-
dence has to be placed on the old
stocks on hand, and tshound the out
put of strips be as large as is estima-
ted, namely, 10000 hogsheads, the
prospects for a good business are GER
tainly much better than was antici-
patcd. The shipments this month
were of pretty fair size, and those of
next month are likely to make a
large hole in our stocks.
"There is better general demand
in all of the markets Of the West.
there having been more competition,
and prices there have ruled about
half a cent higher for export leaf and
Tugs. The prospects are good for the
maintenance OF this advance, There
is good deal of tobacco
when mas been purchased at
the West is in transit here for
export that may go abroad, or part
Of it may remain here, and in figur-
ing out the reduction of stock at the
West it is ell to bear in mind the
p ssibility of considerable portion
being retained in this market. All
that has been bought for export may
not be shipped at once, and until it is
shipped the aggregate of stock in the
country is not lessened in amount,
though this or that market at the
West may show diminished supply.
What is now i'll transit apparently
for export may appear in the New
York stock accounts by and by. In
my Judgment, the way to build up
the Western leaf trade, to insure its
salvation, in fact, is to materially re-
duce the painting next year"

The Election.

The election was very pcaceable
and quiet up to the time we go to
press. OF course both Democrats and
Republicans were working hard for
their respective tickets. The rain
has been pouring down since about
8 O'Clock this morning, and will
doubtless keep many from the polls.
The Republicans up to O'Clock
seemed to be polling pretty full
vote. But comparatively few of the
business men, who are nearly all
Democrats had voted up to noon.
We hope to give something definite
az to the general result in the EVEN
ING CHRONICLE tomorrow.

Ladies of the Vanderbilt family have mag
nificently endowed a women's hospital, the
Astor's have done the same for a cancer hos
pital and these notable examples have set
others ut work in smaller ways Of the same
kind. There are many institutions in which
beds can be bought, the owner being thereaf-
ter privileged to select a succession of occu-
pants Thus she can control her own benevo-
lence. From this comparatively inexpensive
method to that of maintaining an entire
ward, or of establishing a complete hospital
on a minor plan, our modish women have
gone rather extensively into the hospital fad.
This is a good thing for the poor sufferers,
who by means of it get the best medical and
surgical treatment. But it is almost comical
TO see the swell philanthrophists eagerly
searching for beneiciaries. They seem ambi-
tious to secure the worst possible cases, and
are downright proud when they find some
thing horrible or unique. At an afternoon
tea, over cups of the fragrant beverage, and
accompanied by dainty nibble of cake a
good matron remarks to a crony:
sob, / have discovered the most delightful
subject you can imagine for my bed at the
hospital-a boy with one leg like j and the
other like an S. They are going to straighten
him out, and | expect there will be a report
of it in the medical journals New York
Sun.
