GERMAN IMMIGRANTS.
The Southern Railway Will Make
Special Efforts to Induce Them
to Locate in the South. A Call for
Co.Coperation.

Those interested in the development
of the resources of the South are, to
some extent at least, conversant with
the methods employed by the South
ern Railway Company in advancing
the material growth of the country
served by it's lines. For several years
past that company has made special
effort to attract to the South desira-
BILE class of German immigrants.
While this work is one that requires
time, labor and patience, the results
have been fairly satisfactory, and sew
eral settlements of that class of peo-
pie have been established along the
lines of the Southern Railway.
The su cess achieved by the compa-
ny has convinced it of the wisdom of
rebuilding it's efforts, and it has decid-
ed to wage an active campaign, having
for it's purpose the location of larger
number of thrifty German farmers
along the line There is no better
class of immigrants than the thrifty
German farmer, and such settlement
is always an important factor in the
growth and development of the section
of country in which it is located
The Southern Railway Company
will soon publish an Illustrated pamph-
let in German, the object OF which
will be to give reliable information
concerning each of the Southern States
tributary to its lines to all Germans
considering the question of change Of
location. This pamphlet will be fol-
lowed by other publications giving
general information about this terri
tory, which, it is thought, Will be the
means Of attracting the attention of
thousands of Germans to the South.
These publications, besides having
general distribution, will also be
sent in answer to all inquiries which
are now being received daily from
Germans all over the North and West
and in Europe.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the importance of the people of the
South doing all they can to foster and
promote this movement. Germans
already located in the South can do
much to promote this work. The
Southern Railway will be glad to have
| from each German located along it's
line his individual opinion of the
country in which he is located as de-
sirable field for this class of immigra-
tion. This information will be of
special value in its negotiations with
ether Germans, and the result will be
mutually beneficial. Undoubtedly
there is abundant room in each cOun-
ty of the South for German farmers,
and it is hoped the Southern Railway
will receive the earnest and active &C.
operation of the people located along
it's lines. This will result in produc-
ing a tide of immigration to the South
of active and energetic Germans, and
will cause thousands of that class of
people to seek homes in this Southern
cline.
Mr.. NJ. V. Richards, Washington,
D. c., the Land and Industrial Agent
of the Southern Railway Company,
win be glad to hear from those inter
ested in the subject. Write him and
send him the names and addresses of
your German friends and relatives in
the North and Europe so that he can
send them the literature referred to-

Democrats Condemned.

Democrats generally conoelnn
what they call undue haste in the
recognition of the republic OF PAM
ma by this government. There
seems to be the impression, howev-
ever, that if we get the canal speed
lily the people will be inclined to
overlook this international move.
Senator Teller, of Colorado, is
outspoken against the Administra-'
TONS course.
"The haste with which recogni-
ton was extended was positively
indecent said Senator Teller to-
day. This government has recog-
nized the new outfit before the
Columbian government was really
aware that a revolution had broken
out. The making of republic in
twenty minutes is a mistake. do
not contend that the recognition
later on would have been unw1se,
but l do say that the courageous
spirit of the American people will
revolt at such bulldozing tactics as
this. If a strong government had
been involved this country would
would not have thought OF proceed
ing so quickly and would have
waited long time before acting IN
any direction. 1t would certainly
have been no more than right to
have given the Columbian govern
ment an opportunity OF handling
the situation before doing any
thing, but as it is we made repub-
lie before the Columbian govern
ment was officially aware that one
of it's sovereign States had rebelled.
The American citizen is patriotic
and believes in the strength OF his
country and her people, but ne is
opposed to the bulldozing and brow
beating of small countries. He had
rather be generous than unfair, as
has been the case this time. 1t is
we'll enough to try to smooth over
the outrageous blunder by saying
that the action has been taken tor
the preservation of our treaty rights
or because of civilization. We could
have waited while before we pro-
ceeded under the treaty rights, as
we would have done, had a big
country been on the other side.
And then we could have waited on
the ground of civilization. But
there is nothing know of hich
makes the country the custodian of
South American civilization. The
fact is that all this is a cloak and
an excuse for indecent haste, which
will be condemned by the American
people
