Nowhere hare I eeen people more
faraere. They are an intelligent
claee, ae they looked orer our fruit,
grain and vegetable*. they were
quitk to recognise the fact that
Georgia must in a few years be a form¬
idable competitor in their market*,
especially as in fruits and vegetables
it has the advantage of an earlier
growth and maturity. Dakota and
, have already reduced the

make a living percentage on farming
with land at $75 to
$100.00 per acre Many came to me
for a fuH explanation a* to the char¬
acter and price af our lafods, and ex¬
pressed themselves as satisfied that
Georgia was the coming State,
^^beonhT^from
to ^ CaMornia ***** a
.
couple of years ago in
milder climate, but the speculative
prices at which land is held in that
State hue disgusted them with it as
a farming country. With a thorough
advertisement ofGeorgia’s resources
and cheap lands, Xknowof no more
g field in which to work,
satisfied that the Georgia
exhibit has done a big pioneer work,
While our agricultural and horti¬
cultural products naturally received
the most attention from farmers,
the manufactured goods, minerals
and woods were all carefully examin¬
ed, andgreatly aided in creating a
favorable impression of Georgia.
The handsome variety of cotton
goods were especially admired, and
matter of much surprise, as
the Southern States are generally re¬
garded as being far behind in manu¬
facturing enterprise. The ladies criti¬
cally examined the checks, plaids
and muslins, and remarked that
they were firmer, more honest goods
than they were in the habit of pur¬
chasing and wondered why the mer¬
chants of the North did not keep
them in stock. Our woods also at¬
tracted much attention, especially
the specimens of ciirly and heart
pine, and the chair, from the Griffin
factory, made of fourteen varieties of
wood. Our visitors were surprised
toeee such fine specimens of oak, hick¬
ory and ash, as they have an idea
that these species grow only in the
North. The minerals were also taken
into account in summing up the
many and rich resources of Georgia,
but Os the section we visited is al¬
most wholly devoted to agriculture,
and but few minerals abound in it,
they did not attract the attention
they deserved, as but comparatively
few could appreciate them.
Altogether, the Georgia exhibit
was a large object lesson, or, as
many remarked to me, a great edu
cator, and did more to give the peo¬
ple a just appreciation of the ad van
tages of our State than all that has
been written. It also gave to our
Northern brethren new ideas as to
the enterprise and industry of the peo¬
ple of the South, whom they have
lieen taught to believe were slow and
easy going, if not actually indolent,
tmd a quarter of a century behind
the times. This was illustrated by
the remarks of the railroad employees
regarding our car. After examining
it, and expressing their admiration
of it, they asked if such cars were
common on Southern railroads.
Upon being told that it was built on
the pattern of all cars on the Central
road, and built in its shops, their
appreciation of Southern railroads
rose a hundred per cent, and they
began to inquire as to the chances of
procuring a situation. Again; I was
continually asked, “Who is making
this exhibit, and why is it made?”
When I told them it was made by
the Central Railroad of Georgia,
they immediately exclaimed, “Ah,
yes: the company has lands to sell.”
But when I told them that the Cen¬
tral owned no lands but its right of
way and depot grounds, and had
not a foot to sell, but was simply
making the exhibit for the purpose
of advertising the resources of Geor¬
gia, with n view of inducing immigra¬
tion, they were astonished, and re¬
marked that theCentral was certain¬
ly more enterprising than the West¬
ern roads; for while they have done
extensive advertising for their sec¬
tions, it has been for their own imme¬
diate personal profit in selling the
bodies of lands which have
been donated them by the Federal

the war; and every one had a good
word to say for us, while some ex¬
pressed a regret that they had not
followed their inclinations and made
it their home when peace was declar¬
ed. All the people examined our ex¬
hibit with interest and care, and asked
many questions regarding our cli¬
mate, soils, oils, price price of of land land and and the the re¬ i
given to immigrants. It
true that I found many, who, by list-
eaing to the politicians, had become
fearful that the Nortern people would
not be accorded a cordial reception,
but the fact that the exhibit had been
sent to their homes, and an earnest
invitation extended to them by an
authorised representati ve, did much
towards aUajiW? their fears and coa-
vincing them that they would be
made welcome and their lives and
property protected as effectally as
north of the Ohio river
Another evidence of the interest
awakened in our State by the exhibit,
is found in the fact that of the thous¬
ands of papers and pamphlets which
we distributed at the different fairs, I
rarely found one thrown aside, al¬
though the grounds would be litter¬
ed with advertising matter. AlBoin
the hundreds of letters I have rtceiv
ed asking for further information re¬
garding Georgia. In fact, so great
is the interest in Georgia, that
has been awakened by the efforts of
this Bureau by its exhibit and the dis¬
tribution of-printed matter, that 1
have lately received several letters
from large real estate firms in the
North asking for descriptions and
prices of real estate, as they say “the
tide of immigration from our coun¬
try seems to be working Southward. ’ ’
That we have not realized greater
and more immediate results from our
labors, in the way of permanent set-
that there were no cases of it in Geor¬
gia, the people of theNorth associat¬
ed the fever with the whole South;
which was largely due to the shot¬
gun quarantine, instituted by so
many small towns in this and other
States. The Northern papers treat¬
ed the epidemic, not as being con¬
fined to Florida, bnt as covering the
whole South, as is evidenced by the
following heading of an article, which
I clipped from a daily paper, while in
Ohio: “The Stricken South—From
ail points comes news of Great Excite¬
ment—The awful scourge grows worse
and worse—Panic-Stricken people
protecting their towns with Shot¬
guns.
This yellow fever scare has been a
serious drawback to Southern im¬
migration, for it has intensified the
impression, which many Northern
people have, that the South is more
subject to malignant fever epi¬
demics, than other sections. It
was this fear of yellow fever, both
North and South, which broke up
all my arrangements for an excursion
tp the State Fair; arrange¬
ment* which I took a couple of
months to perfect, and from which
I had 1 great hopes. If it had not
been for the yellow lever, I think I
should have brought to Georgia an
excursion numbering nearly if not
quite one thousand persons.
I should have been pleased to have
had with me on my visit to the
Northern Agricultnral Fairs, some
of our Georgia farmers, that they
might have seen the fine blooded
stock, and examined the machinery
used by Northern farmers, for I
satisfied that they would have learn¬
ed much that would prove useful to
them. So fully do I believe that a
comparison of Northern and South¬
ern methods would aid our farmers
In solving the problem of how to
make farming pay, I shall try to get
up an excursion of Georgia fanners,
next fnll, and take them on a tour
through the great agricultural expo¬
sitions of the Northwest. I know
they will be cordially welcomed, and
have a splendid time. - >
It is this comparison of methods,
constant attrition of new ideas,
of new blood and energy,
has enabled the farmers of
Northwest to achieve

an empire in area, but in variety and
wealth of productions. Much as we
would like to hasten that time, it is
a work that cannot ne done in a day,
or year; and will take time, money,
and well-directed effort.
In considering the question of im¬
migration, and the best means of
curing it, we can gain much informa¬
tion by studying the methods and
causes of the great movement to the
West, and from these we can feara.
