practicable in the South where the
feasible plan TO be pursued is to
stimulate the practice OF locating
small numbers OF settlers at as many
points as possible and letting the
leaven 60 its work. Change the want
ad for labor for one for homeseekers,
put them on small farms, thus as
increasing the tributary supply Of
material for factories. Railroads OF
the South are carrying on P syste-
matte work following plans and
methods which has been tried and
tested in the interests OF inmigra-
tion to the sections which they ira
verse. They have been sufficiently
successful to warrant continued et-
forts and while the movement may
not have been what some desired or
expected, it is gratifying to know
that the work is progressing favor
ably. 1t is proposed to actively con-
tinue this great missionary work and
as fast as we cam judiciously utilize
an increased fund for the purpose it
will be forthcoming. All we ask is
tn active cooperation with our ef-
forts by the people of the States
most interested.
Information Needed.
Let Information be assembled
concerning; the number of people
who can be provided with homes or
employment and secure zsthe services
of experts. to promulgate this infor-
nation. 1t would be advisable in my
Judgment if the various States Of the
South would set aside a fund for five
wears for the exclusive purpose of
aft ,rding information concerning the
possibilities >for small farmers and
laborers within the borders OF the
different states. Such fund would
enable the State to avail itself Of the
services Of expert immigration agents
and affore. them means to bring about
results which will ever be commen-
ded. We should not lose sight Of
the fact that almost every section Of
the United Staes possesses induce
mems to the man without a home and
the South. offers greater inducements
than any other section of this coun-
try. Let us convey this information
to the outsider and when we induce
him to come and locate with US, no
matter what his station in life may
may be or how much he possesses let
US aid him in becoming a prosperous
and respected citizen. Immigrants,
whether from abroad or from other
parts of this country, come to US
strangers. They leave behind Old as
sociates and enter a new field where
the. environments in many cases are
different from those to which he has
always been accustomed and it is our
duty to guide, protect and satisfy al
new corners among us:

Slow, Sure Process.

Those who associate the idea Of
immigration with long trains Of cars
loaded with immigrants eagerly seek
ing the promised land are impatient
concerning the apparently slower
process of placing two or three fam
lilies here and there throughout
territory embracing many square
miles. Some say silis is immigration
in homeopathic doses and a larger
movement is required to meet the
need Of the South in labor for farm
and factory It is the only rational
way, however, and this is the pro-
cess that was employed with success
in populating the West Railroad
work in that section was only initia-
tory while later results came from the
cumulative work of the settlers them
selves. who being dissatisfied in the
new country sent for their relations
and friends TO join them. Every fam
ily satisfactorily and contentedly
placed is SO much capital invested in
the section, much more valuable. and
potent than money invested in facto-
ries. Many cities and towns capable
OF raising large sums of money from
local industries fail to, realize the in
terdependence of town and country
and to insure prosperity for their
town tributary country should be
promoted with equal energy and skill.
Working people is the capital re-
uuire for country districts and Euro
pean countries are filed with people
anxious for an opportunity to start
life anew in this country. All over
the South adjacent to busy cities and
towns are thousands Of acres Of land
either idle or only partly used, which
would provide enough people with
homes and revolutionize conditions
as much or more in the country than
we have witnessed in the cities and
towns since the Inauguration of the
new industrial era. Half dozen
farmers of. the right kind are of as
much value to a town as a. small fac
tory; they are of more ultimate value
if selected with reference to the in
fluence they will have in. bringing
others in their wake. There is not a
town in the South that with work
and the expenditure of money could
not import immigrants of the right
kind and locate them in the right
places.

Washington, Aug. 7.-One Of the
best Informed men on the subject OF
immigration to the South is ". Y.
Richards, in charge. Of the Land and
Industrial branch Of the Southern
Railway, with headquarters in this
city. Mr.. Richards has spent many
years in studying the problem OF I'M
migration for the South, and his
views on the subject will be found IN
interesting as we'll as lnstruc-
tive regarding methods to be pursued
whereby intending settlers and home
seekesr may be diverted from the
North and West to the Sunny South
land. "There was a time when the
Southern States" said Mr.. Richards,
possessed an adequate supply Of Ia
Dor for all purposes. Conditions have
so materially changed that today the
South has to deal with no question
of greater importance that tha Of
labor supply. Many yNcan remember
the time when there We're two men
for every job in the South, but to
day there are two jobs for every man
willing to work.
Emigration of people from the
South has not caused this. condition,
but, capital in creating new avenues
for 1abor and enlarging existing en-
terprises utilizes the services of more
people than heretofore. There is
considerable immigration southwark,
and on a larger scale than is appar-
rent TO the casual observer, for this
section is growing faster than many
imagine. Changes which have been
brought about in the South during
the past few years have tended to
attract people with limited means
seeking homes in counry capable
Of sustaining them at a minimum
price. When things begin to come
your way tension is relaxed and al.
fairs move along practically by their
own weight. If a factory is started
at point where industry had pre-
viously Jagged and proves a success,
in nine cases out Of ten it will find
imitators and thus a procession is
started. If a rural community re-
ceives an accession Of immigrants
who prove successful don't worry
about that place for there is a soiic-
iting force at work with friends and
relations in the old country who may
be relied upon to come along later
and swell the number Of workers so
sorely needed.
