MILL MEN WIN CASE.

The Interstate SAwmill Association ,
OF which Georgia aud Florida dealers
are members. will be pleased to know
that Judge Speer, OF the United States
Court for the Southern District OF
Georgia, has decided the rate case in
favor OF the association. In his decls.
ion Wed nesday Judge Speer says:
"In this case the conclusions OF the
court as to the ittues involved agree
with the conclusions OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission, as expressed
in their report.
"A decree enioining all the respond.
ents against further enforcement Of
the rates 9EnPlained OF will be at

standing master the pleadings aud evil
dence, with Instructions to ascertain
the sum total OF the increased rate

or ell Of the defendant companies since
the rate went into effect aud to the
end OF this litigation, and reoort such
amount go the court, in order that,
pursuant TO the stipulation made by the
respondents in open court, that in case
the complsinsnts prevail decree Of rec.
titutiOn shall be made.
Because OF the vast extent OF the
lumbermen's business and the great
expense aud inconvenience which
might result to them and to the lum-
Der trade and the railways from instan-
taneous enforcement OF this action, IL
will be ordered further that the de-
cree now granted shall not take effect

IMMIGRATION QUESTION.

The question Of immigration is now
uppermost in the minds OF the people
Of the South aud Florida n particular.
One question is Of vast import 10 the
business and social interests OF the
State What class shat, We induce 10
come here?
There il one Glass that is most need
ed, and That is tillers OF the soil. The
foreigners who are 10 be encouraged
should be the Danes, Swedes aud NOT
wegsns, who are the most industrious
class 10 be found They are known
wherever found as qliet, un5btrusive
people, who attend TO their work all
the time and are 4 most contrnted
people. In many localities where they
are found there are evidences Of thrift,
and they come TO this country TO make
il their permanent home.
Great care should be taken TO avoid
the unloading Of the slum element on
the South. We do not care for such a
class. The large tracts OF farming
lands that are awaiting settlement in
all parts OF Florida will make homes
for a class that we desire TO locate
here. Possessed of a sufficient amount
OF industry and located on farms, the
class we most need would cause not
the slightest annoyance.
One feature Of the coming into Flor.
ida OF these people will be that they
will settle on their own farms and do
their own work. They are not renters
or day laborers, bu, in most cases will
buy their lands, cultivate and improve
them and be a class OF property owners
instead OF wanderers from place TO
place.
