DIRECT TR ApR-No. 8.

announcement from Everywhere.
Business Promised and Confidence
Expressed in 1t.
Everything encourages this movement of
direct trade, and shows it desirable, prac-
ticable, and backed by promises of univer-
sal help.
Says Col. Stovall, who is engaged with
me in the enterprise: II am constantly
demonstrating immigration practically.
have made two visits in u week to my settle
Inent at Adams Park, twenty miles below
Macon, to receive immigrants who have
come to locate there with money to invest
some of them Germans, who do not speak
word of English"
A day or two ago l met Mr.. McNichol, a
Scotch gentleman visiting Mr.. Miller one
of our successful real estate men. Mr. Nc
Nichol lives in Scotland and has bought
place in Florida, where he spends his wins
ters on account Of some pulmonary ten
denotes which that mild climate corrects.
He comes over in the fall by way Of New
York. He said earnestly:
"You can say for me that | shall be de-
lighted when you get line Of passenger
steamers from England to the south direct
and enable me to avoid two or three days Of
bleak cold off the Newfoundland coast in
the sharp days Of the fall and also save the
L
south by rail and enable me to be landed
direct at a soft climated southern port after
a mild voyage down the gulf stream"
He then went on to say that numbers Of
the citizens of Great Britain would come
over to the south direct, that invalids will
prefer to Southern Europe, 30 overrun with
people, our own golden Florida, as a tropi-
cal resort, with its wealth OF oranges aud
other fruits, and its hospitable and con-
genial people. and all Of these seekers after
southern attractions of climate and heal
ing. would return by the same route, and a
great travel would be built up this way.
The traffic manager OF the greatest west
ern railway system thus writes Col. Stovall
and myself in a letter received to-day:
THAT your project is feasible there can
be no question, aud we are glad it is being
pushed so vigorously. Our relations with
the south are very intimate, a portion Of
our vast system being wholly within the
southern states, and whatever tends to de-
velope business in and through the south
necessarily is benefit to these
roads, and we will gladly join our eastern
connections in any efforts they may make
to carry on your project. OF course the
roads reaching the seaooard must take the
initiative in this matter, but we will Co
operate with them to the extent Of our
ability"
Could there be a stronger practical en-
couragement than this3 And with the con-
centration Of southern aad western efforts
can the project possibly fail! In the fall,
after the summer has been used TO arrange
the lice, the cotton crop comes to furnish
freight the entire winter, the cotton ante
dated and reinforced by the great volumes
of corn, wheat, meat and innumerable other
products from the west And next spring
and summer are to witness the inundation
of foreign visitors from Europe to our
exposition at Chicago, able to come or go
by the north or south, and return the other
way, and see both countries.
SO palpable are the possibilities and ad
vantages Of this project that the southern
seaports are all showing the advantages of
their special points as emitting them to this
remarkable and enriching privilege of being
the terminal port of this ocean line.
The prospects never looked so bright for
direct trade for the south.
