Building Up the South.

The railroads of the south have started
a movement toward colonization on a large
SCALE" said G. H. Harrison Of Atlanta to
Star man at the Raleigh this morning.
Recently they held a meeting in Atlanta,
and I believe are even now in session In
that city for the purpose Of discussing
ways and means for inducing a large i'm
migration of people to that section The
people realize that the best way to build
UP business Is to get inhabitants, and hus-
Ting agrtculturists are wanted The rail-
roads realize that more people means
carrying more passengers and freight
So both will work hand In hand, AND
in the spring things are expected to
be humming in every part of she south.
There Is already large amount of north
ern capital invested in southern industries
which Is bringing In good returns, and
more will be forthcoming as fast as 1t is
needed.
