Immigrants the South Wants,

A few Northern Repu blican journals are
trying to create the impression in that sec
ton that the South doesn't want imnli-
grants, and that only capitalists are well
come in the Southern States. Even the
Baltimore American states that "the kind
of settler the South wants is a capitalist
The american ought not to permit politics
TO influence it to make a statement so I'M
just to the South.
OF course the South wants capitalists, but
they are not the only kind of immigrants
wanted. In the cities and mining sections
capital is needed for the establishing of fac
tories and the opening of the mines, and
immigrants with money are warmly wei
coined there. In the agricultural sections,
however, and by far the greater part of the
South is dependent upon agriculture, small
farmers are desired. There is not
Southern Journal of influence
that has not been pointing out for years
the advantages which the South offers to
small farmers. Only few months ago a
great immigration convention was held in
New Orleans, not to invite capitalists to
emigrate to Louisiana but TO induce those
who are seeking homes to locate upon her
rich lands. Another convention was held
week or two ago at Hot
Spring, n. c., which had the same object in
view. The Central Railroad Company, of
this State has engaged an immigration
agent at its own expense to travel through
the Northern and Western States, and point
out to the people there the opportunities
there are for obtaining homes in desirable
localities at reasonable rates along
the lines of its system 1t is not
seeking capitalists 1t has nothing to offer
them, but it has something to offer men
who are honest, industrious and thrifty,
and who want to obtain farms for them
selves. Its object is to have the country
tributary to it settled, so that it's business
will be increased. While it is benefiting
others it is wise enough to see that its own
interests will be promoted.
1t is not true that the poor man is not
welcomed in the South. A welcome awaits
him everywhere. 1t is only desired that he
shall be honest and earnest in his efforts to
improve his material condition.
The New York Journal of Com
nlerce, a few days ago, advised the
South to advocate the repeal of the
national law which prohibits the
importation of contract labor, for the
reason that if that law were out of the
way, the South could, by means of con-
tracts, secure all the immigrants it wants
The South doesn't want the kind of immi-
grants who are obtained in that way
AS a rule they are ignorant and
degraded, and have no appreciation
of the advantages of free institutions.
They are the kind of people the Anarchist
leaders depend upon to make trouble, and
they are always ready to take part in
strikes and boycotts. The South has as
many laborers as it needs at present, and
they are much better ones than it is posi-
BILE to obtain from Europe by means of
contracts.
The South gladly welcomes the New
England and Western farmer, and the i'm
migrants from foreign lands who appreci-
ate American institutions, and who are
capable Of soon becoming good and valuable
citizens, ttts.4

How Sherman was Discharged,

FROM Ue CJnctlHdtt commercial Gazette.

California l took my colored boy Jim with

ton to being First Lieutenant was Adjutant

cent for that. Well, we were down at San
Diego and Jim worked along pretty steadily.
One day he came to me and said
BOSS, Use gwine to quit: Use been offere
$500 month to work in a hbbery stable up var,
and you must pay me dat much or | quit.
Three hundred dollars a month for colored
boy, and getting just S72 from the United
States That proposition of Jim's rather stag
gered me, said:
Jim, guess you'd better go to the livery
man; ] can pay you that much

eyes, 1 reckon then, boss, as how Tse got to
discharge you
Discharge me he did, for Jim left. 1t was the

w eak Women's Vanity.
From The Chicago Herald.

While awaiting the result of a search for a
| negative in a well-known photographer studio.
l looked over the large albums lying on The
table. They were almost entirely filled with
pictures of women, beautiful women, and
women who fanced themselves beautiful
There was a vast dfe renee: women in street
costumes, and women in evening gowns, and
finally women with no gowns. Do not start
modest reader; they were not absolutely nude
but the next thing to it. One beautiful head
attracted my attention-pertect in contour and
with soft fluffy hair highly powdered and
twisted in a Psyche knot which well suited the
Greclan profile. The neck was symmetrical
and so were the shoulders and-So was the
back. of which fully e-half was plainly visible
There was absolutely nothing override shoulders
not even a strap or bit of tilmy lace. There

DO you often take such pictures?'

"Do you ever have applications for the per

Congressman Turner, of Georgia, has
made quite a reputation in Washington,
and some of his friends in that city say he
ought to be nominated for Vice President.
There is no probability that any Southern
man will receive that honor this year, but
when it becomes advisable to select from
the South a Vice Presidential candi-
date, the party could hardly do better than
nominate Mr.. Turner. He is a safe and an
able man. His friends very much enjoy
telling how he first came into prominence.
He was a member of the Georgia Legisla-
ture, and for while he kept so quiet that
his fellow members had no opportunity of
knowing anything of his ability. One day,
however, he arose to speak, and as he did
so, nobody paid any particular attention to
him. Somehow he was not expected to
make much of a speech, but when he sat
down he was the leader of the Ho use. His
triumph was complete. There are few
ADLER men in Congress.

Referring to the statement of the Morn
ING NEWS that the negroes, to n very great
extent, have withdrawn from politics, the
Journal aud Tribune, published in Mich
igan, says: From the complexion of the
returns from Georgia, of late years, we
should think the negroes as well as Repub-
hcans had withdrawn from voting. But
that withdrawal is compulsory. Wait till
the Republicans are restored to political
power i'll 1889 and then the laws of the
United States will be again put in force in
Georgia as well as on every foot of Amer-
can soil The Observation-Disclosures party
will be withdrawn from Washington after
March 4, 1889. One term of Demo-
cratic national rule will satisfy
the loyal American people" This
is the sort of talk that helps to keep the
South solid, aud that brings the Republican
party into disrepute among the better ele-
ment Of Republicans

Curiosity That Was Costly.
Ffom az LouisufNe Courier Journal.

From the Louisville Courier Journal
I'VE were all busily at work, said an en-
ploye in Nashville and Louisville Office the
other morning. when the chief clerk entered
and took his seat. He had not been long at his
desk when a messenger boy came with @ tele-
gram, which was received with a great appear
ance Of emotion on the part of the recipient
Springing from the chair in which he was seated,
he rushed bareheaded from the office, leaving
the telegram behind him on his desk. What
could it mean?'' was question not asked. but
predominant in every mind AT last a
clerk, holder than the rest, lounRed to
the desk and seized the message Quick as
a fash he dropped it and ran out of the door
This was repeated until the office was empty.
Now the telegram read: Purchase all the stock
on the market. Big advance in price at an
early date This was signed by noted Wall
street Spectator, and, as each clerk had little
fund saved up you can imagine the cause of
their precipitate departure from the Office. We
were not gone long, but when we returned, one
by one, after investing our last dollar, the chief
clerk was there to welcome us with meaning
smile Nothing was said. The stock fell very
low that evening, and we lost all our money.
Still nothing has been said, but there is great
deal thought"

Rosy Morn.

From, the Nea1 Orleans Picdyune.
The morning sits and swings
In her hammock Of rose and gold,
Her feet just touch the sea
And the edge of her garments fold;
She watts a breath to me
OF the blossoms of hope and love,
As swinging to and fro
She croons like the brooding dove,
Sing soft, swing low,
Oh! rosy morn,
Clasp to thy breast
The day. new born,
The morning swings far out
Ger the feam of the misty seas,
And lights with rosy glow
The tops of the tallest trees;
The sleeping flowers wake
At the touch of her quickening lips,
And drink the dewy showers
That fall from her finger tips.
Sing soft, swing low,
Oh rosy morn,
Clasp to thy breast
The day, new born.

A paragraph in cable letter of the New

A paragraph in a cable letter of the New
York Sun indicates that Switzerland is pre-
pairing to furnish immigrants to countries
in need of them. The paragraph is as fol
lows: 1.-THE wife of the syndic Mayor, Cas-
tagnola Ticino, has given birth to six chill
dren. This fact is testified to as absolutely
correct by an authoritative Berne cores
pendent. The woman, whose name is Req
zonico. is 80 years of age, and has already
had three and four children at a birth.
Her husband is married for the second time,
and has seven children by his first wife.
The six children, four boys and two girls,
were born living, but died soon afterward.
The news of this extraordinary event, per-
haps hitherto unheard of in the annals of
anthropology, has created a great sensation,
especially in Italy, and doctors are hasten
ing to the scene from Milan, Como and
other towns to satisfy themselves of its
truth" 1t is not at all strange that the ex-
traordinary event above chronicled should
have created sensation. If it had occurred
in this country it would have attracted as
much attention as Blaine's letter of with
drawal

Observations Upon Chicago Women's
Feet.
Fron the Chicnoo MnI.

pTOHt Tue CHtCIVD NUT
/ was in State street shoe store YESTERDAY
when two ladies seated themselves and asked
to be shown shoes. of course. A young man
waited upon one of the ladies'. moment later
he came to the proprietor, with whom 1 was
talking, and said; ''She has white hose" The
proprietor made reply that did not quite I'M
derstand. and the clerkldeparted returned to
ask why it was that the clerk had made such an
observation 1T is one of the tricks of our
trade" answered the head of the concern. "A
woman who will wear white hosiery don't wear
fine shoes. You can gamble on that every time
and win. So we know about what class of
goods to show her and thus save
time. don't know whether you know it or
not, as such matters do not interest outsiders
but we can tell by the sort of hosiery woman
wears what price shoes she wants. Now, take
woman who wears black silk hosiery or black
balbriggan-She wants the very best shoe as
rule, that there is in the house. l have made
study of this for years and am away up on
the subject, can tell you. Another thing
have nOticed-a woman who wears black
hosiery generally has small feet. That reminds
me that the average foot of the Chicago lady

small, but long and slender"

Gov. Hills Intentions.

From the New York Sun (I1d)
Gov. Hill has twice held the Office which is to
be filled again at the next election. He has
discharged its duties with courage, fidelity,
honor to himself and benefit to the Democracy.
To undertake the post again could add nothing
TO his comfort or TO the high reputation which
he has already gained In the Democracy; and we
had not supposed that he would wish TO be a
candidate at the next election.

The Press Honored.

Not only the young men of the Demo-
cratic party, but also the members of
the Democratic press, of this State,
are well represented in the Georgia del
egation to the st. Louis convention. The
newspaper men of the delegation are Mr..
John Triplett, of the Townsville Times,
from the Second district; Mr. W. L. Gless-
ner, of the Americas Recorder, of the
Third district; Mr.. Frank II. Richardson,
of the Macon Telegraph, of the Fifth dis
trict; Mr.. John 7. Graves, of the Rome
Tribune, of the Seventh district and Mr.
Tyler NJ. Peoples, of the Lawrenceville Her
aid, and Mr.. j. II. Butt, of the Gainesville
Eagle, of the Ninth district.
The number of delegates who are mem
bers of the press is not too large In fact,
it is a question whether the press was not
entitled to even a larger representation
The convention which selected the delegates
was almost unanimously in favor of tariff
reform. The overwhelming sentiment in
favor of reducing the tariff in harmony
with the Presidents message, which pre-
vailed in it, was due to the newspapers The
MORNING News has, of course, battled
day after day for years for tariff reform,
and it has been ably supported in its efforts
by almost the entire weekly press. There
are other dailies in the State which have
done splendid service for the tariff reform
cause, but they have not been in the SER
vice of that cause as long as the MORNING
NEWS. Considering the extent of the work
done by the newspapers in connection with
the convention the representation they re-
ceived in the delegation to the national
convention was no more than their due.
