The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-09-07

Editor Morning News.-I see from the
newspapers that the gentleman, MIR. Mans
field, who represents Mcintosh county in
the present House, has suggested the pur-
chase of Sapelc Island by the state. to be
used as the state convict prison and farm
There is decided merit in Mr.. MansAeld's
suggestion.
Sapelo Island is bounded by deep water
on all sides, except the side next to Black
beard Island Blackboard Island is own
ed and controlled by the United States
government. The South Atlantic ouaran-
tine station is located upon il, and il is
at all times under strict governmental
regulation. This will be a great aid TO the
state If it should put the convicts on San
clio. The general government and the state
government together could easily keep up
thorough discipline on the island and effec-
tive patrol on the waters surrounding
them. il is a decided advantage to a
states prison on Sapelo to have the
United States government in control of the
only neighboring land, and using IL for a.
quarantine station.
Sapelo Island possesses this great adj
vantage: 1t is thoroughly drained one
of the former owners. under the superin-
tendent OF an expert engineer, caused ca
mails and bitches to be dug in every part
of the island so as TO completely remove
any standing fresh water. There are no
ponds or fresh water lagoons on the island
and as consequence il is free from sick
ness.
The soil Of Sapelo is extremely produc-
tive. Il grows the finest variety of sea
island cotton, corn, potatoes, peas, hay

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION.
Pennsylvania Can send a Number of
Desirable Settlers.


From the Philadelphia Times.
y. F. Thompson's third letter on the
question OF providing for our surplus labor
viii be found in another column to-day.
He is not a theorist on the absorbing sub
ject Of furnishing homes to the homeless
and bread 10 the breadless. He is an in
telligent, common sense, practical man
and thoroughly understands what he
writes about.
Another very strong reason why Mr..
ThomDson's suggestions are entitled to
greet respect is The fact that ne has no
lands to sell in Alabama or elsewhere:
that ne Is not connected with any specula-
tive syndicate; that he is earnestly striv-
ing TO present the true conditions to sur
plus and iu-requited labor, and Offering
the best means of alleviating its distress
Regarding his suggestions alike from the
standpoint of intelligence aud disinterest-
edness they should be we'll studied by all
who are interested in the relief ne sug-
gests 10 our surplus labor.
We take no stock whatever in the sug
sestion that Pennsylvania cannot afford
TO lose any of her population. She can
afford to lose any number who can obtain
better homes, and better support else
where. We have ample lands in this
state TO furnish employment to all who
are idle. but the lands in Pennsylvania
accessible to those who want cheap farms
would make no such return to the hus-
bandman as could he had from the more
fertile lands and more genial climate of
Alabama and other southern states.
The great struggle for bread that is felt
by many thousands of those who have
only their labor upon which to depend,
must efface both state and sectional lines
in considering how the workman can best
provide a home and comfort for himself
and his family. We welcome Mr.. Thomp-
sons letters because we believe that they
will lead TO an organize movement that
must turn the tide of agricultural emigra-
lion to the sunny south, where it is most
needed and where it can be best re-
