GREENSBORO, N. c., July 24.--Mr w.
v. Richards, manager OF the Immigration
Bureau OF the Southern Railway, Is spend
ing the day here in conference with real
estate agents.
Mr.. Richards speaks hopefully over
the prospects OF increased immigra-
ton of desirable settlers from the North
and Northwest. He says that for nine
years his department OF the Southern
Railway has been placing before the peo-
pie OF their sections the advantages Of the
South, and that last year, the exhibits
made by the company OF the products
of the farms and factories OF the section
along the line Of the Southern We're view
cd by over one million interested people.
His department is now getting from 800
to 600 letters Of Inquiry day from pros
pective settlers. He declares that the
movement towards the South Is but now
In its infancy, and predicts that within
the next five years It Will have grown to
immense proportions.
FARM LANDS.
Formerly attention was principally d.
rected towards the industrial develop
men,s Of the South. until now. no part OF
the Union can keep pace with 1t. Facto-
ries and factory towns now make the
whole Southern line Of the Southern Rail-
way, and this development Will In the
future take care OF itself.
A campaign Is now being actually be-
gun FOR the building up Of the farm prop
critics of the South by inducing land
owners to spare their surplus acres to
these hardy farmers from the West and
North. who are coming South IN In
creasing numbers each year
AS an illustration Of the magnitude Of
this coming of desirable farmers to the
South, Mr.. Richardson said that no at
tended Fourth OF July celebration this
year In Halifax county. Va, and there
we're present 100 families from the North
and Northwest. who had bought lands
and were prospecting Ill that section.
making excellent citizens, and.a success
of farming.
ALL OVER SOUTH.
This thing is going on oil over tho
South" said he. and our people only
need to let the fact be known that lands
can be bought at reasonable prices, and
in reasonable quantities, for our brethren
north OF Mason and DiSon's line have at
last learned that We OF the South are
hospitable, law-abding and as good citi-
zens as themselves. n fact they were slow
in acquiring"
There are quite number of these set

Minnesota: other families have come from
Iowa. Nebraska and Illinois. and there Is
n delightful family owning farm three
miles from town who came here in a
wagon all the @ay from Dakota.
Mr.. Richards was gratifIed at the in
formation received from real estate men
here as to daily sales OF farm lands to
this class OF settlers.

ABSuRDlTY OF THE BOYCOTT,

A recent incident in this city shows the
folly and absurdity of the boycott. a cit
izen rode up to the business estaolish-
ment of another citizen and presented
bill for payment. The bill was paid, and
as soon as the receipt was received the
man who had purchased the goods IN
formed the collector that lie would not
purchase any more supplies from MS
house When the collector inquired as
to the reason, the reply came that TINS
citizen would not patronize any man who
rode on the street cars during the strike
little while thereafter citizen No. ]
dropped into the business establishment
Of another citizen and incidentally men,
toned the circumstances above noted.
Citizen No 3, who was a large customer
Of citizen No. 2, went to the telephone and
informed citizen No. 2 that he need not
send any more goods to his establish
nent When citizen No. inquired as to
the reason for severing a long-starding
business connection citizen No. replied
that he did not care to patlonize any
man who refused to patronlze another
man for riding on the street cars.
1t is easy to see how this game OF
cut-throat has been extended indefinitely.
Another citizen who had been patronizng
citizen No. 3 might have refused to patro-
rze him because he refused to paronize
citizen No. 2. and citizen No. might
have refused to patronize citizen NO. 3,
and so on, ad absurdum. Let this policy
become the rule of the community. and
it would not be long before each man
would have his neghbor by the throat,
fguratively speaking. and instead of be-
ing a community of friends we should
be mob Of cut-throats. We should soon
have no society at ALL There would be
social chaos. instead of organized society,

A SENSIBLE PRoHIBITI0NIsT.

We have the following from well

will be that 1t will practically PIT an

This will come to an end. Let the party

SEQ that the real nope OF te!ap .alN ~,

mans party of the State. 1t has done
for our people what no Prohtbitlonlst
party, as such, could have done In halt
a century
Nov let all those Democrats who have
been conscientiously led away from the
party of patriotism come back and vote
solidly for its nominees. The rage OF the
LIQUOR men against the party IS unTea-
sonable and unjust The party has sim.
ply carried out Its great prinelpie-,s ons
rights to all, special privileges to none.
AS for us who believe In temperance, the
party has done us Justice. Let US snow
our appreciation of IT.
That is sensible advice. To be frank
we do not believe the Democratic party
OF Virginia will ever come out for state
prohibition, for to attempt to force
measure of this character upon the entire
| state would be Democratic. But the
party has great respect for the tenn
perance element, and Is willing to enact
all reasonable laws that will tend to re-
duce the evils OF the liquor traffic to the
minimum The Prohibtionists are much
stronger inside the Democratic party than
when fighting under separate organiza-
| tion.
