THE IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.
Did Accomplish Something After
All, and Mr. HOyt Tells what.


upon the recent Southern immigration
convention at Augusta, as reported in
your issue of June 7th, are lacking in
iustuess. He makes too sweeping an
assertion when he states that those who
expected something practical would be
accomplished were doomed to disap-
pointmeut." On the other hand, and as
lie states, there were too many speeches
made, (which, while very good in them
selves, were not appropriate to the affair,

programmed for delivering the address of
welcome. He read what was not i'll any
sense an address of welcome, but very
long paper giving a history OF the city OF
Augusta from the time OF its being laid
ont down to the present day. He de-
scrlbcd its beauties, its splendid climate,
the wonderful fertility of the surround
ing county, the immense advantages
