~i.-i f --f «a-. ' Americus Recorder. W. !«. OLEIIMEK. Editor. Official Organ of Webster Comity* ~~gPMPAT. WOT. 80,1884. IMMIGRATION BUREAU. A bill ti doit before the Alabama LegiiUture to create a bureau of Immigration constating of the Gov ernor, Commissioner of Agricul ture and a Commissioner of Immi gration. The latter is, of course, the aotive officer. He is to get a salary of *2.250, with a clerk on a salary of *1,250. He shall be eleo ted for tiro years and his duties shall be to publish pamphlets, etc., of the State’s resources and dis tribute them where, In his judg ment, they will do most good, and shall employ agents in Northern States and foreign countries. He shall seok in all proper ways to promote the immigration of thrifty white immigrants, but shall spend no money except as authorized by the bureau. He shall also collect specimens of Alabama products and res.urees and put them on display at some city in the State. The bill appropriates $20,000 per annum to the bureau, 4 if the Alabama legislature is composed of wise and enterprising men, it will pass this bill; for the money,If judieiously expended, will be one of the best Investments the State eonld make. With tile right kind of a man as Commissioner, it will In two years advance the priee of land in that State at least twen ty-five per cent. The resources of the South have but to become known to invite ihousands of in dustriousand enterprising people from the North, who will add mil lions of dollars to tho wealth of this section. Whst Alabama proposes to do Georgia should do, and do it soon if it would retain its proud title of , the "Empire State of the South.” It should do now what it ought to have done years ago—what Florida has dono and what tho Western States have done, with great profit to themselves. It should be remembered by leg islators that while good improved lands in Georgia are selling from *3 to,*10 per acre, in Florida un improved landsaro selling from $10 to *100 per acre, simply bccauoo Flsrida has made an effort to in duce Northern immigration, and Georgia has not. The valuation, in 1881, of Geor gia’s improved lauds was $102,000,- 000. It is little to say that a live man as Commissioner of Immigra tion could influence immigration in two years to an extent that would inorease the value of lands at least ten per cent. This would be ten millions of dollars at au outlay of forty thousand. Would not that be a profitable investment? Immigration to Florida,the land of flowers and sand, has been in duced by united effort on the part of the state and counties and the flooding of tho North with pam phlets and papors descriptive of its climate and vegetable resources. No Georgian will deny that bis state offers double the advantages that Florida does, both as to cli mate and resources. But the light that is hidden under a bushel will not shine far, and the advantages of Georgia must bo made known before they will attract immigra tion. If the constitution of Georgia prohibits such legislation, the soon er it is amended so as to allow such legislation the better. Let our legislators look into this matter and see what can bo done. This is the age of progression, and the state or section which fails to keep step to the muaio will have to fall out of the procession. One patriot in Washington City won a large amount of money on the election by betting on Cleve land. He was convinced that the Democrats would succeed soon after tho second Chicago Conven tion by ascertaining the position of all the leading papers in the country. He found the large ma jority favored Cleveland, and he began to take all tbs beta he could get and even after the election he got a good many beta while the Republican Committee waa claim ing New York. He ahowed his faith in the general truthfulness and influence,of the presa, and bis alth was not In vain. One of the shrewdest business men in the country is ex-Governor English, of New Haven, Conn. He is about 70 years of age, and has accumulated a fortune estimated at ,j *7,020,000. The present business depression, he says, -is not Excep tional in Presidential years. Speak ing of it a day or two ago, be said: "I have been an observer of the effects of Presidential elections since Jaekeon waseiected in'1828, and my observation leads me to say that in all Presidential years the general business of the country has been unusually dull. After the eleotlon is over there is almost in variably a revival of business to a marked extent. I do not see why the present Presidential election year should be an exception to this rule. So far as my knowledge ex tends, business is already improv ing,^ and by the coming spring I expect that tho usual amount of business will be done by our manu facturers. I am eonfirmed in this opinion by the fact that consump tion ot all kinds is going on, and consequently reducing the stocks of manufactured goods on hand. You see, supply and demand regu late not only production, but price as well, of ail material. Manufac tories, some five ot them, in which I am personally interested, are al ready receiving increased orders to a considerable extent for the sev eral kinds of goods which they are producing. Those who want to borrow find no trouble to get what they require on first class property at 6 per ceut. interest, and on an other class at 6 per cent.” WEqUOTETHEFOLLOlVISG PRICES One Hundred Men's Cassimere Suite. cgnlar price $10.00, for $5.00. 250 Pairs of Fanis.

Surveyor Pinchback, of New Orleans, tho most prominent color- cJ man in Louisiana, put the truth in a nutshell when he said that the election of Cleveland would do more to destroy race prejudice than ten thousand civil rights bills. He says that the story, circulated among ignorant colored people, that the chango in tho national ad- mtnletratibn will bo injurious to tho colored people is the work of mtau and hoartioss men who aro trying to crcato bitterness and trouble between the races in older to manufacture political capital for themselves out of the strife.. He thinks the color line in poli tics will be completely obliterated finally through the effects of the political revolution brought about by Democratic aucccss, and that new parties wilt he formed com posed of both races, equally di vided.
