UlCTLl STALL-FED BEEF
1” 0.1- D A Y.
lYO’S GEORGIA BEEF MARKET.
From ih« Atlanta Confutation,
Ashevilbe, N. C., November 25.
— the immigration convention
which is to assemble in this city on
the 17th of December, deserves
more than passing notice. In fact,
it Is one of the most Important as,
semhiages ever called together in
the South.
The Ifrst Southern interstate im
migration convention was betd in
Montgomery, Ala., on the 12th of
December, 1888, and was composed
of delegatee from the States of Vir
ginia, West Virginia, Maryland,
Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas,
Tennessee, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georsia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louslanp, Texas
and the Territorlee'of New Mexico
and Arlzoua. Among the promi
nent gentlemen present, and who
now compose the executive com
mittee were: B. F. Kolb, Alabama,-
W. L. Giessuer, Georgia; G. W.
Carlisle, Mississippi; John T. Pat
rick, North Carolina; J. IC. Gwynn,
Missouri; TempleBodley, Kentuc
ky; A. P. Butler, South Caroli-
J. E. Ingraham, Florida; T.
W. Poole, Lousfana; T. F. Nelson,
New Mexico; B. M. Hord, Tennes
see; F. B. Chilton, Texas; G. W. C.
Hale, Virginia.
The putpose ot the Montgomery
convention was to secure the
united aDd harmonious action of
all the southern states in the mat
ter of “added population and capi
tal fof the south.” Much has been
accomplished, and the prospects
are that the move made at Mont
gomery will result in the speedy
development of the south’s great
resources. So important will be
the influence of this second con
vention upon the prosperity and
growth ot the south, that it should
impel every official to whom the
call is directed to take such prompt
and effective action as will result
in a grand and influential conven
tion. The spirit ot the Montgom
ery convention was breathed in the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That we the members of this
Him there Interstate Immigration conven
tion, at Montgomery, Ala., assembled,
pledge ourselves, Individually and collec
tively, lo support and encourage any and
nil effort. that may bo Inaugurated by the
Southern Interstate Immigration bureau
to make known onr resources and to ex
tend our hearty Invitation to Immigrants
and capital to settle among us? -
In the call issued by General
Manager Chilton, of Austin, Tex
for tire Asheville convention, the
basis of representation is announced
as follows:
Two delegates from each senato
rial district, to be appointed by the
governor of the state or territory.
Four delegates from the state at
large, to be appointed by the gov
ernor. Two delegates from each
oounty, to be appointed by the
board of county commissioners, or
by the chairman of said board.
Two delegates from each chamber
of commerce, board of trade or cor
porate body in the various states.
One delegate from each city or
town, to be appointed by the may
or or the president ot the trustees
of suoh town. Two delegates from
each editorial association in the
states aud territories Interested.
One delegate from passenger de
partment ot each railway doing
business in the United States of
America. One delegate from each
chartered land compauy In- the
Southern States. In all cases
where* delegates are appointed an
equal number ot alternates shall
be appointed by tbe Bame author
ity.
In the appointment of delegates
it ig urged that earnest, patriotic,
public-spirited citizens be appoint
ed, and thnt only such be commis
sioned as will attend. For tbe pur
pose of estimating attendance, se
curing proper accommodations
and arranging adequate transporta
tion, it is requested that all dele
gates be appointed as early as pos
sible, and that General Manager
Chilton should be supplied by all
appointing, powers with a full list
of names of delegates commission
ed by them. It Is necessary to ap
point delegates at once on account
ot the time being short. ;
When the Montgomery conven
tion was called, its. purposes were
rather vague, and beyond providing
for subsequent action, it cannot be
said to have accomplished much.
Since that time, however, events
have happened' which give point
aud emphasis to the necessity of
filling up the waste places in the
South. As a meant of maintaining
her political status in tbe Union
steps mast at once be taken to In-
create the population of the South
ern states. The admission ot the
Northwestern territories to state
hood, at well m the evident pur
pose of the Republicans, under the
recent census, to gerrymander the
Southern states out of the place to
which they are entitled present
grave reasona why the question of
immigration should be taken up
with vim. That the fairest portiou
of the'Uuion, where soil and oil
mate unite in attraction, should re
main waste, while tbe blizzard
afflicted West should be built up so
marvelously, Is an anomaly which
should not exist.
The spirit of Improvement has
already touohed Virginia to' ttw
north. At nearly every station can
be seen piles of brick and lumber,
while the immense receipts of ma
machinery show that the craftsman
is becoming an important figure.
In many parts of North Carolina
may be seen the hand of revival
but tbe influx of people is wantiug.
Ye*, here is a state with the re
sources of an empire.
In every vqtlety of wood; In
every mineral deposit knowu to
industry; iu production of soil and
diversity ot yield, North Carolina
stands unapproachable. All she
wants Is population—brawny nrms
to delve out her resources; willing
hands to turn the looms of trade.
In a different degree Soulh Caro,
lina presents claims to attention
Tbe country along the Richmond
and Danville Is especially worthy
of attention, and even further
south, tile state presents rich fields
for the thrifty Immigrant.
RUINED BY A PRIZE.
Old Han Is Dead—How a Happy Homs
Wat Broken Up By a Lottery Prise.
Special to Rkcorpkh.
Atlanta, Nov. 20.—Old man
Edwards is dead—Major Grant F.
Edwards!
He died this morning about
three o’clock.
The story closing with his death
is a strange one. It’s pathetio in
Its way, too. .
About eighteen months ago, the
message came to Atlanta one morn
injj that one-tenth of the capital
prize had been drawn iu Atlanta.
What a commotion and excitement
there was amongst the people that
bad tickets! What a comparing of
numbers, and speculating!
The next morning the story was
printed about this old man Ed
wards, an engineer in the Journal
press room, bad drawn $15,000.
He had been all his life a poor
man. He worked ha'rd, lied ac
quired a litUe home of his own,
and was steady, quiet and home-
loving. His children were all
grown and married; but the old
man and his wife were tenderly
cared for, and there wasn't » hap
pier little home in Atlanta than
mat of old man Edwaids.
That lottery ticket ruined hlml
The $15,000 brought domestic trou
ble; It bred intemperate habits;
brought on scandals aud gossip.
The home was brojten up; the lives
of the children were made misera
ble by the treatment of their moth
er, culminating finally iu Buit for
divorce.
The old man eat his former ac
quaintances, was insoleut and over
bearing toward his relatives,squan
dered money lavishly upon women
and horses, drank all the time.
He famished talk for the boya
about town; bis puerile escapades
and ridlculoua adventuYes -would
make a book.
His money tost him his home, his
friends, his happiness. He was a
miserable man. Ho lived <Ju me
chanically, growing grayer mud
feebler.
Now he la dead!
Preachers might search in vain
for a better text than that old man’s,
life.
He will be buried to-morrow
Westyiew.
To tbe Suffering.
Over one hundred columns of
voluntary certificates have been
printed in tbe Atlanta Journal from
such people a* Rev. J, B. Haw
thorne, Rev. Sam P. Jones, Hon.
H. W. Grady, MuJ. Chas. W. Hub-
ner, late of the "Christian Index,”
Gen. James Longstreet, Col. W.
Avery, late editor Atlanta “Const!-
tiou,” and hundreds ot prominent
divines, editors, doctors, specialists
and others, certifying to retnakable
cures performed by Dr. King’s Roy
al Germatuer, after eminent physi
cians and all known remedies had
failed. Send two-cent stamp to
King’s Boyal Germatuer Co., At
lanta, Ga., for hook of particulars.
It is truly a great remedy, and
surely cures when all else falls-
