growers, and SO willing did everybody seem
to do his part that l determined to make
concentrated effort for the next thirty days
on behalf of the enterprise. Upon my return
home ! found upon my desk letters from
number of prominent gentlemen largely
interested in Georgia lands, who offered their
support Besides these great number
nave spoken to me personally about 1t IN
the same spirit. Mr.. Clark Howell kindly
promised the strong arm of The Constitution
to the enterprise, and Colonel E. G. Machen
pledged the aid of The Macon Telegraph
Colonel Hawkins, of Americas, and Colo
mel Ship, of Cordele, have pledged them
selves to the work. Indeed, l could men
ton long list of some of the best men IN
the state, who have responded favoraDy
to my recent suggestions in The COnstitu-

DO you find any prejudice against for
eign immigration to Georgian
Il had anticipated some, but to my sur
prise none has developed SO far. 1t seems
to be generally understood that the lmmlgra-
ton which flows to this country from Great
Britain and Germany proper is altogether
desirable. 1t is extremely rare that BTU
lsh or German pauper immigrant appears
at Castle Garden. That class comes from
others countries of Europe. We expect to
do our work where the best people come
from, and to so adjust our inducements as
to attract settlers who have some means,
and that no other kind need apply. Ii you

immigration commission to the secretary, OF
state in 1890, you will find that it empha-
sizes the fact that the German farmers,
almost without exception, come to this
country with sufficient funds to sustain
their families for one year, and in most
cases enough extra to make fair payment
upon their land purchase. They are the best
truck farmers i'll the world. In the same
report you will see that it is stated that a
clearly defined case of violent socialism
f,,
mers; but is confined almost entirely to the
indoor occupations"
Have you completed your booming plan?'
Yes, practically. We will publish not
less than $4,000 copies, about 1900 in
German and $4,000 in English, of a maya
zine after the style of The Century or
Harper's. 1t will be of the very best print
ing and on the best paper, well illustrated,
and to contain complete and concise state
ment of what Georgia can offer to settlers
soil, climate, cost of production and value
OF product, freight rates, public institutions,
social and labor conditions. Those towns

undertaking will be especially no.
ticed. This magazine will have an unusual
ly tine binding, much better than any maya
to attract attention. A copy will be laid on
the hotel and tavern tables throughout Eng
land Scotland and Germany In those
countries the smoking room of the village
tavern is sort of clubr0Om where men,
old and young, gather in the evening to
smoke, drink and chat. The barmaid keeps
on the center table the best magazines, rail-
road time tables and the latest daily news
papers to please her customers, just as the
barber shop keeps the illustrated papers in
this country. Whatever goes upon those
center tables with an attractive cover and
interesting contents, will be read over and
over again, and be preserved weeks and
months. rms is where we propose to put
our publication Also in the reading rooms
OF steamships across the Atlantic, and the
steamship Offices, and at Chicago during the
exposition A copy will be sent to ali the
leading periodicals of those countries and

thoroughly and in my Judgment this is the
most effective method that can be adopted
with limited amount of money. This is
the same way in which Minnesota and Ne
