Gen. Chiffon Makes an Address BEFORE
:. the Committeeman I'm migration Com.
missioner to be Elected.
A joint meeting of the committee on
Agriculture was held yesterday after
noon to consider the question of max
ing an appropriation to secure first
class Commissioner Of Immigration.
Gen. F. B. Chiffon, General Mana
ger OF the Southern Immigration
Bureau, made an able address before
tie committee. His argument for
earnest effort to secure immigration
was heard attentively.
He reviewed the immigration work in
Texas, and showed how it had brought
thousands Of people in that State. Ten
years ago the taxable property of Texas
was 1910, 100000, and now it is 1892,
900, 900. The immigration work, aided
by the geological survey, were the
agencies that did this.
The Geological survey, he said, had
brought untold capital into the State,
and caused many investments. We
have not the space to follow General
Chilton's argument, but it impressed
and convinced all who were fortunate
enough to hear it.
Senator Williams bill to appropriate
So, 900 for the Immigration Depart
ment, was taken up by the committee.
Mr.. McGill offered an amendment,
making it 50, 500. Carried. Senator
Bell offered resolution that the pres
ent General Assembly elect a Com
missioner Of immigration Carried
Captain Ardrey offered a resolu.
ton that subcommittee be ap
pointed to draft a substitute for the
bill, setting forth the amount to bt
appropriated, fix the salary of the
Commissioner, and to fix the details O
the bill. The following is the sub
committee appointed: Senators Ar.
drey and Bell and Representatives Nc
Gill, Williams aud Lineback and they
} are to report to the JOINT committee
Monday at half-past three o'clock.
The CHRONICLE rejoices to print thi
advance movement. North Caroline
can greatly add to it's population dur
ing the next few years, if it makes tn
q proper effort. This effort will be mad
, by competent and efficient Commis
siorer of Immigration, and his worl
will be aided largely by the Exposition
to be held in Raleigh.

COL. POLK AT WADEsBORO.
He Says the Farmers Need Not Expect
Relief Through the Professions.
(CharlOtte a Chronicle


WADEsBoRo, Feb. 24-There were,
perhaps, one thousand people who came
to Wadesboro from Arson and adjacent
counties, to hear the address by Col. L.
L. Polk, president of the National Far
mses' Alliance
Col. Polk for two hours, commencing
vt IL: 30, a. m, and closing about 80,
p. H., during which time the people gave
him their undivided attention. The peo-
were very enthusiastic.
He told the farmers of Arson county
that they were in prosperous condition
compared with the farmers Of the North
western States He does not think that
the distress among the farmers is due to
over production. He thinks the cause
lies in the treacherous hearts Of wicked
men.
He says the alliance is great politi-
cal body, and that it would not be worth
snap of the finger if it did not take an
active part in politics and thereby try to
relieve it's people of their burden. He
does not believe that any body has been
treated with such i'll respect as the
American farmers had been by the pres
ent Congress. He thinks the day is not
far distant when the farmers of the West
| and Northwest will stand shoulder to
shoulder with the farmers of the South
ern States in sending men to the legisla-
tive halls of this country, who will give
the farmer relief.
He says that the alliance does not de-
sire to pull down nor lnJure any profes
sion, but that the farmer need not ex.
pect relief through professions.
