THE SOUTH AND THE WEST

The signs of the times point to close between
the south and the middle west for supremacy in
future development. For several years the southland
has been gaining steadily in comparison with northern
states east of the mountains. Even New England has
been alarmed by the sharp competition put up by the
south in the manufacture of cotton goods. In this line
the present favors the gradual absorption of that
industry in the south where of big modern cotton
mills have been installed within the last few years
The greatest drawback to the south in it's present
promising of development is the labor problem.
Northern capital is pouring into the south with northern
business to handle it, but the working classes of the
north have not been induced to southwark. The
latter are to coming into competition with the
negroes. Americans of the north not willing to
bring up their children in with those of the negro
But this labor difficulty in the south may soon be
solved of the southern states evolving plan
that looks promising at least and which is to be tried
1t results from the extraordinary immigration to
this country of cheap European labor There
been any approach to this years inflow of such mmigra
ton The arrivals from Europe last month at the port
of New York reached total of 1000 at the more
than a million year. Last year the number for the
month was 47S77 being less than half that for
March of this year.
The idea developing in the south is to steer
this surplus European labor into the southern states
South Carolina has taken the initiative in putting the
idea into practice and the plan adopted by that
likely to be followed by sister states dispatch
New York states that Office has been established
in that city by the authorities of South Carolina
Col E. S. Watson, state commissioner of immigration
having formally opened the headquarters" Col. Watson
is reported saying: 81 believe solving one of
great economic questions of the country in peace
full desirable solution of the negro problem and in
assisting the general government to avoid many of the
vexatious questions accompanying the great influx of
foreigners which has become a menace to the large
ceners of population"
The South Carolina plan is TO attract the immigrants
their state by offering good employment cheap homes
and various other inducements. The climate will be a
consideration of course it is similar that South
ern Europe whence large proportion of the immigrants
come.
An abundance of energetic white labor in the south
expected to work revolution in the industries of that
section and mark the beginning OF new era in the
oonLtry's prosperity
