THE CHATTANOOGA CONFERENCE.

The Conference held in Chat
tanooga last week on quarantine
and immigration was largely at.
tended, as many as fourteen
southern states being represented
The question of states rights en-.
tered largely into the discussion
of the subject of quarantine, but
the conference evidently felt that
the preservation of the health of
the south overshadowed all other
questions, for it passed with but
one dissenting voice resolutions
offered by Congressman John
Sharp Williams, of Mississi p pi
menora!iZing Congress "to enact
law whereby coast maritime
and national frontier quarantine
shall be placed exclusively under
the control and jurisdiction OF
the United States government.
and that matters of interstate
quarantine shall be placed under
the control and jurisdiction of
the United States government,
acting In cooperation with the
several state boards of health"
In regard to immigration, the
conference unanimously passed a
resolution favoring the encour-
agement of such immigrants
coming to this country as "white
persons who are willing to sub
scribe to our laws and who ap
preciate and love the genius of
our institutions" The resolu
ZION also states: owe repudiate
and denounce as untrue any and
all rumOrs and ISLANDERS that NAV
have been circulated to the effect
that the south is unfavorable to
honest and Industrious white
immigrants"
