For various reasons the South hse
pro6ted little from the great stream OF
immigration. The lines OF transporta.
lion we're more favorable to the Vest |
and Northwest the cheap lands, the
vast exaggerations Of Southern law
lessness that we're given currency, AL
contributed to prevent that section
from getting its share OF the new citi-
zens. This has not been entirely
without its compensations, for il the
South missed its share Of the desiable
elements, it Wasin a measure free also
from the invasion OF OF the un-
desirable, The effect OF this
has been noticeable in the re-
cent labor troubles, from which the
greater part of the South has been
nearly exempt.
Conditions are changing rapidly.
The acknowledgements lands in the
West are nearly exhausted. The re-
proach Of lawlessness, though still
urged against the South, is losing its
force in the presence OF the undenia.
BILE fact that the elements of disorder
are more numerous at the North. The
South is fast coming to be recogniz-
ed as the quiet section Of the country.
To this we may add that it has come
out of the panic Of last year in better
shape, everything considered, than
any other section.
AS an aid in securing for the South
ern States the kind OF immigrants de-
sired, the Southern immigration Land
and Title Company haO been organic
ed under the laws of Virginia, with n
capital OF $500 900, which may be in.
creased to $2,000,00O. The officers
and directors of this company are resi-
dents OF various States and are men OF
prominence. The Presidents the Hon.
Chauncey F. Black, OF Pennsylvania
President OF the National Association
of Democratic Clubs. Mr.. Alexander
A. Arthur, we'll known in Kentucky
is the Third Vice President aud Gen
eral Manager. The Hon. John Il
Proctor, formerly State Geologist o.
Kentucky, is one Of the Board o
Directors. Among the others arr
editors, manufacturers, banker, rail
road men, etc.
This company begins business will
the conviction that there are in tn,
South millions OF acres OF land LYNN
waste and purchasable at low prices
for the reason that the owners hav,
more land than they can cultivate
and also that in the West, Nortl
Canada, Great Britain and other Eu
ropean countries there are millions o
industrious farmers, fruitgrowers ant
gardeners that are looking for neV
fields OF labor where the conditions o
life are less exacting. 1t is the hop
of the company To bring these clssse
together, and thereby to supply t,
the South the means OF development
which it requires Fer this purpose i
offers to cooperate with every otho
organization having similar aims.
This immigration company propose
to operate by methods analogous Il
those that proved so successful in tn
Northwest, namely, by controllin
large areas Of land, by bringing thei
advantages to the knowledge of person
desiring to change their homes, an,
!
supplying the latter with such infol
nation and direction as may be need
ed to enable them to acquire detirahl
homes in The Southern States. Unde
intelligent management, and backei
by adequate capital, such system
ought to prove successful The higI
, character OF the men connected wit
this enterprise affords reason for hor
ing that it will prove an efficien
agency in helping the South to tn
class Of immigrants best calculated t,
: develop It's great resources.-C Courier
