BACK HOME MOVE

LINES OF THE SOUTH START
FIGHT FOR SECTIONS FOR
MER CITIZENS.
They Moved Them Out West a Year
Ago and Now They Begin Cam,
raign to Bring the People Back to
the South.

y Lack home" movement has been
launSGad by the various commercial
agentS and immigration agents of the
railroads of the south.
I'D NJ. llafer, of the Georgia Immi-
grafton and Industrial bureau, has re-
turned to Atlanta from Altapass, y
c., where on Jan. 10, the general plan
was outlined and preliminary stems
taken for general mass meeting 20
be held in Chattanooga on Feb. 10.
In speaking of the plan, Mr.. Hafer
said:
The idea is this: Several years
ago practically all of the western
Railroads had immigration agents
travelling through the southeastern
states, visiting the farmer in his field
discouraging him with what he was
accomplishing and printing beautiful
pictures of the golden west, with its
untold wealth. The result of this is
thousands of farmers have migrated
to the west and after getting there
and finding that they had been focl-
ed, ii was impossible to turn back,
their homes here having been sold.
Conditions of our southeastern
states have changed considerably
The states maintain agricultural cot
leges; the national government en-
ploys agents to travel through the
country instructing the farmer; the
railroads do their share of the up
building. with the result that today
| lands which were considered barren
have been proved fertile. The condi-
tions have changed wonderfully and
in every way for the better
''Thh plan is this: Each immigra-
ton agent of the railroads in Virgin
ia, Ndrth Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip-
pi, Tennessee and Kentucky, is to &c
through his territory, and secure the
name Of every man who has left IN
the last 20 years for the west. 70
each one an invitation will be extend
ed to return. Literature showing the
| improved conditions will also be sent
him and he will in every way be ur2-
| ed to come back home.
"W. B. Roberts, of the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio railroad, tri ed
an experiment along these lines. He
procured the names of about 1,2Oo
men who had left western North Car
olina and wrote to each one, with the
result that about 900 replies were TT
| ceived and 81 men returned with from
81 900 to $4,000 capital to invest IN
! their native state.
For the mass meeting in CAatta
nooga the governors OF each of The
above mentioned states will lie re-
| uuested to appoint a representative
| from each congressional district ana
the various civic bodies will be asked
| to have representatives, as well as

Cause Of Killing

A quarrel over debt of Is cents
between two negroes yesterday at
Coffee, small station on the A, B.

the quarrel led up to a fight
1t seems that Tom Matthews was
indebted to Leroy Thomas in the
amount stated, and when they met
near the station at Coffee yesterday
Thomas asked the other negro for the
money. He refused the payment and
a quarrel followed, which soon went
into fight Matthews had heavy
blunt instrument of some kind in his
hand and he struck Thomas terrific
blow over the head. His skull was
smashed in and while he was alive
when he was taken TO his home few
miles up the road, it was thought that
he could live for only a short time.
Matthews was arrested by Con
stable Thomas at Coffee and later in
the afternoon was carried to Black
shear and placed in Jail.
