ahead in the item of capital invested
These figures, Gen. Carr said, simply
pointed to the greater opportunities TO be
de'.eloped in the south in this industry.
Hope in immigration.
Colonization opportunities in the south
were forciby described by Hugh McRae
of Wilmington, n. c. He declared that
from an Industrial standpoint the south
had to be born over again, and that it
had required forty years since the civil
war to accumulate capital sufficient to do
things but that now it was on the thresh-
old of a great future. having great OPP
portunities within its grasp.
He dwelt upon the necessity of immlgra-
ton to the south, and what the lack of
it had cost that section. Mr.. McRae ex-
pressed the belief that increased immigra-
ton would tend to a happy solution OF
the race problem, even that of the negro.
When the statistics Of southern de-
velopment for the past twenty years
are placed before us they are almost
beyond comprehension said Mr.. McRAe.
From the very fact that the south.
Win it's wonderful natural resources. has
by force of circumstances developed more
slowly than the rest of the country comes
the present advantage that 1t is on the
threshold of a great future, having vast
opportunities within its grasp.

ties than that Of immigration. This Will
develop wealth for the south, with less
effort, than will come from any other
source.
When the tide of immigration sets
in toward country it proves a magi-
cal stimulant 1t raises values. increases
opportunities. and Is the source OF the
much discussed and much desired 'un-
earned Increment Of wealth.
Up to the present time the south has
received no benefit from immigration,
for reasons which are easily discover
able. For many years the south had an
abundance OF common labor and the SUPP
ply Of capital was insufficient to afford
full opportunities for the laborers. This
resulted in wage scale lower than OBJ
tanned in the north and west. and the
immigrant laborer reaching America was
easily attracted to the section bidding
most for his labor.
THE opportunity of the south for i'm
migration will come in full measure when
the south's attitude on this question is
such that the immigrant will be sought
and given a welcome. 1t will be when
wealth which can be developed, as it
has been developed in the north and west,
through the labor of these sturdy peo-
pie; when the south realizes that the
wealth which has been created Is little as
compared to what is still to be created,
and that in realizing to the fullest extent
our opportunities we must have q vast
population"
