These facts ought long ago to have
caused the south to organize and hold
conventions aud attract immigration
thither. ''Go South Young Maa" is now

The North Carolina DeIegation-.The
Columbian Exposition.
The North Carolina delegation organ
lied last night by the election of Col.

man, and M. AL Falrbrother, of Dur

Mr.. Primrose Speaks.
This morning Mr. W. S. Primrose pre-
sented the question of North Cardinals
having a large and fuil exhibit at the
Columbian fair il Chicago in 1892 He
spoke with his usual lucidness and in
terested the large audience. He said
that he spoke at the request of the Gov
ernor and expressed the sentiment OF His
EScellency. Among other things he
said that before the State Exposition
there were sixteen cotton factories in
| North Carolina. There are now 1870.
He had interviewed several leading man
ufacturerS who made exhibits at the Raj
eigh Exposition. one of whom told him
that the Raleigh exhibit had paid his
concern better than any other exhibit,
including New Orleans.
He gave other examples showing the
value of our State Exposition, not the
least Of these advantages being that it
had drawn back home from the west
not few Of the North Carolinians who
had emigrated to the west in the years
of the past. The eyes of the north are
upon us, and if we show them our ad-
vantages at the Columbia Exposition
homes with Us.
The Governor FavOrs 1t.
The Governor favors an appropriation
for this exhibit and desires me to ex-
press the hope that the large North Car
DINA delegation here will express itself
upon whether it will be advisable to send
a great exhibit that would properly rep
resegt the State.
Closing his speech Mr.. Primrose of
fered the following resolution which
was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, BY the North Carolina dele
gates now in attendance on the Inter
States immigration convention assem-
| bed in Asheville, Dec. 17Jh, 1890, repre-
Santing many counties Of the state.
1st. That inasmuch as North CarOin;
POSSESSES a climate, a Biographies

: only by our own people, but by all VIII
a seek legitimate investment OF capita
: and place for honest labor.
It 2 That while the state press, recoe
:, nizing and representing our best Inter
3 ests, is faithfully endeavoring to col
: vince, not only our own people, but
t others who can be reached, of the grea
: and varied resources of our state, To
l. law abiding character of our citizens an
u the safety Of Investments, yet It's CT
ST culation is limited, and the people OF tt
Is country at large are, to great degre
Il ignorant Of the advantages we can ole
G. 3 That we consider that not on
Sc should our fellow citizens in all pom
in of this great country be made acqualnte
y. by printed statements of the advantage
II to be gained by investment Of their cap
r tai and labor in North Carolina, but tn
er we should present on all suitable occ

a labor.
ut 4. We regard the Columbian expos
ed ton to be held IN Chicago as otftrlng
be opportunity of making a creditable

d. no means be neglected, and we ther
th fore respectfully request the Governor
Is this state to urge upon the approachl

u.s. 600 to accomplish the desired end.
