Large Gathering Promised.

To Whom it may Concern:
In accord with resolutions enauating
from the Southern iuter-states immi-
grafton convention held at Montgomery,
Ala, on December -. 1888. I hereby
cali Il second convention, to be composed
of like delegates appointed By the same
authority, to convene iu Asheviile, y.
c.. December II, 1890, the call embrace
ing delegates from the states OF Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky,
ssouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama. Mississippi, LOUISIANA,
Texas aud the territories of New Mexico
and Arizona.
The basis of representation AT that COLI
vention will be Is follows:
Two delegates from each senatorial
district, to be appointed by the governor
of the state or territory. Four delegates
from the state at large, to be appointed
by tine governor. Two delegates from
each county, TO be appointed by the
board of county commissioners, or by
the chairman of said board. Two dele
gates from each chamber of comm cree,
board of trade or corporate body III the
various states. One delegate from each
city or town, TO be appointed by the
mayor or the president OF the trustees of
such town. Two delegates from each
editorial association III the states and
territories interested. One delegate
from passenger department of each rail-
way doing business in the United states
of America. One delegate from each
chartered land company in the Southern
States. In all eases where delegates are
oI ~ "a oT
shall be appointed by the same authority.
In the appointment of delegates it is
urged that earnest, patriotic, public
spirited citizens be appointed, and that
only such be commissioned as will at
tend. For the purpose of estimating at
tendance, securing proper acoommoda-
tons and arrange adequate transporta-
ton, il IS requested that all delegates be
appointed prior to November p, aud
that by that date this office be supplied
by all appointing powers with full list
of names of delegates commissioned BIZ
them. 1t IS necessary to appoint dele
gates at once on account of the time be-
ing short. Delegates should be notified
of dnte and place of meeting not later
than November % by those making the
appointments. Many passenger agents
have already notified this office of their
hearty cooperation, and il is safely as
serted that low rates OF transportation
will be given from every state and terri
tory.
The purpose of the Montgomery con-
yention was to secure the united and har-
monious action OF all the Southern states
in the matter of added population and
capital for the South. - Much has been
accomplished and the prospects are that
the move made ct Montgomery will re-
suit in the speedy development of the
South's great resources. So important
will be the influence of this second con-
vention upon the prosperity and growth
of the South, that il should impel every
official to whom this call is directed to
take such prompt and effective action as
will result in q grand and influential
convention. Respectfully,
F. &. Chiffon,
General Manager Southern Iuter-Stetes

Fellow Citizens of Texas:
The convention at Ashville, n. c.,
December II, promises to be the largest
ever held in the South. Several gov
ernors, many leading officials of rail-
roads and representative newspaper men
and other prominent persons have signi-
fed their intention to be present. 1t ia
believed many roads will give free trans
portation to delegates over their re-
sDective lines, and the passenger associs-
lions of the country are 1T work to secure
a very low rate Of transportation. Ashe-
Vile offers free accommodations Il many
respects as to pleasure, and very low
rates at all OF her fine hotels. She pro-
vides free large, lighted and heated
hall, and promises banquet, drives,
etc. The convention will be of vast i'm
portance to every condition in the South,
and to the progressive city, town, cor
poratiou or real estate agent offers an
unparalleled opportunity for putting in
effective work for themselves and their
localities. Many of the states have ap-
pointed (througu their governors) their
full quota of state delegates, and the
governor of Texas has notified this office
THAI he is ready to commission the De-
egates from Texas as soon as names of
those who will go are sent in. It is
therefore urged that every city. town,
corporate body and other authorized ap-
pointing power appoint their delegates at
once and that those who wish commits
eions from Gov. Ross to represent the
state at large or their senatorial district
apply for same. Every state in the
South and every enterprise will try to
stand head at this great convention, and
let it not be said that Texas is behind.
The transportation rate given will ex-
tend over the holidays aud give all an
opportunity of visiting their friends and
relatives In the Southern states, and the
convention is held early enough to per-
NIT all to return to Texas in time for the
Christmas holidays at home if they SO
desire. Respectfully, 4
