Richmond's press, and the readers Of
Richmond's newspapers. will heartily wei
come the New England visitors who will
visit this city next month. The newspapers
and the Chamber Of Commerce have already
planned for their entertainment, and such
planning will receive the hearty support Of
citizens. Nothing so dispels misunder-
standings as intercourse. Virginia has "a
great many resources, customs and ambi-
tions which cannot be thoroughly understood
and appreciated by "a person who does not
personally study them. When the New
Englanders have spent couple of weeks
visiting the chief cities Of the Common
wealth and have experienced the cordial
reception which will Doe given them, they
will return TO their homes with
more thorough knowledge Of The
great South, and with q better I'M
derstandng of the people. Editors are
obseryant people as a rule, and should
every city, which they visit, do as much To-
ward showing itself as Richmond will do,
our new England friends cannot but be i'm
pressed by the great future Of Virginia, and
by the courteous hospitality Of her people.

The itinerary Of the Southern tour OF the
International American Conference Is on
the whole. comprehensive and well consid-
cred in It's general features. The journey
from Washington TO old Point, and thence
10 Richmond, and afterwards 10 Charleston
Atlanta. Jacksonville, Fla. Macon, New
Orleans. birmingham. Chattanooga, Nash
vile. Roanoke, Va, and Luray, viii takeln
as many points Of interest as could have
been included in the space of time which
had been allotted for carrying out the pro-
gramme arranged.
In the course OF this tour the delegates
must find much that viii interest and IN
struct them. In the first place, IT Is
cause for congraiulation that their journey
will % performed at season when Ma
ture will appear in It's most attractive as
meets. when southern forests and landscape
will possess a charm which they have at no
other time of the year. In Hampton Roads
the dclegatcs.will have an opportunity Of see
ing the finestharbor on the Atlantic coast.
Richmond will interest them, not only on
account Of it, numerous objects Of historic
association, but also on account OF its great
manufacturing establishments. Atlanta
will offer rs remarkable an example as any
city which the delegates have visited Of
what American shrewdness and enterprise
can accomplish. Florida will be found 'as
uniaue for an American state in its cl-
mate and productions as New Orleans for am
American city in its architecture and social
customs.
II is 10 be regretted that the itinerary
does not include parts Of Texas, which IN
its growing towns and physical character
istics. would furnish rs many evidences OF
Southern greatness as any Commonwealth
in the South. The most valuable and in
structi,e part Of the journey will probably
begin AT Birmingham from which point 70
the close a section of county will be COW
cred that presents on all sides'proofs Of the
astonishing progress which have been made
i'm the development Of southern natural re-
sources. 4 succession Of towns will bee
passed that have sprung up with the rapid
ity OF those that have been built in the
West.
The route chosen for the delegates upon
their re-entrance into Virginia is the one
that will show the State on its most attrac-
tive side to the visitors, for they will be car
ried through the southwest, remarkable for
its natural beauty, its inexhaustible re-
sources, and its new cities, and afterwards
d Dwn the Valley, country probably unsur-
passed in America in natural advantages,
a well as in the high state Of cultivation TO
which 1t has been brought. Nowhere in the
whole course Of their Southern tour will they
have opportunities Of observing more that is
likely to impress them than in the division
of country lying between Bristol on the Dor
der and lIarper's Ferry on the Potomac.
