official statements Of the report are
susceptible of contradiction, q good
many people are now asking why the
facts aud figures are not furnished to
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-

and Baltimore, who are interested in
the objects for which the parliament
was called, which includes the exchange
OF ideas regarding matters of impor-
tance for the development of the
South. The feature of the day was the
address of Gov. Robert B. Glenn, at the
morning session.
Addresses were made by W.. W.

discussed mainly immigration to the

poses.
T. B. Thackston, Of South Carolina,

parliament
Gov. Robert B. Glenn, of North Caro-
lima, was Unanimously elected presid-
Ing officer, and delivered the opening
address. At the outset of his remarks
he received applause by stating that
while he had come to Washington with
his heart filled with love for the Sec
tion in which he lived, there were no
men living that loved, honored and re-
vered "the great Nation in which we
live more than the delegates who are
here today from South of the Mason
and Dixon line"
After drawing a pen picture of the
development of the country during the
last hundred years, Governor Glenn
touched upon the devastation wrought
in the South by the contest between
the States, and said the people of that
section had gone ahead with a will to
redeem, reclaim and build up. He
spoke Of the enormous production of
cotton, iron, timber and other commo-
dities in the South, and declared that
it had risen 70 the place where it ought
to stand-"equal, il not superior, to any
other section of the universe in which
we live" But. he said, while the har-
vest Of the South was great the labor
ers were few. Laborers were needed
anywhere and everywhere, and he de-
clared that the South held out oppor-
tunities, and if they would come there
was no reason why they could not have
the same returns, the same wealth
and be even greater and grander than
in any other section Of the, country.
But while men of brains and energy
were wanted, the South did not want
the riff-raff Of the countries of the
world
