During the last few months sev
eral dozen land agents rrom the
Southern Stot-s hav- appeared at
Ellis Island, trying to get the newly
landed foreigners to accompany
them to the South, either to bu>
land or to work for the agricultur
ists there. Some few hundred immi
grants have listened to their stories
of wealth to be made in the South,
but comparatively few have gone
there. . ,
Most of the Immigrants entering
this port have come after already
choosing the place where they will
cast their fortunes, the immigration
officials say. They have friends or
relatives living in some part of t In-
United States and come either to
join them or go to some locality ad
vised by persons whom they know
and can trust. Hence the false light
of bunko steerer under which sonic
of the Southern land agents have
fallen. .
I)r. Zander Trowbridge Chamber
lain, Vice Chairman of the Immigra
tion Department of the National Civic
Federation, in discussing the subject
of distribution of the immigration to
the United States ri few days ago.
•'Only one man in 400 arrives at
Ellis Island who does not know ex
actly where he is going. And if you
undertake to tell the Italian of the
advantages of the South, of its clim
ate, or its fruits and flowers, and he
is bound to Montreal, for instance, it
is a useless task to try to dissuade
hint. Not long ago an interpreter
asked one immigrant if he would
not like to go South to locate. The
immigrant said he was going to
Montreal. .
•' •But,’ said tile interpreter, Mon
treal is frozen half the year and you
are from Italy.’ And then he des
cribed the South and compared the
South and Montreal, and what do
you suppose was the impression he
made? Why, the Italians took him
for a bunko steerer.
“If the South or any other place
wants immigration, it would be wise
to take a few families and convince
them that they can get employment
throughout the year at good wages.
They do not come here for climatic
reasons. They come here to better
themselves.

Mrs. M. M. Davison, of No.
Gifford Avenue, San Jose, Cal., says:
“The worth of Electric Bitters as a
general family remedy, for headache,
biliousness and torpor of the "ye**
and bowels is so pronounced that I
ant prompted to say a word in Its
favor, for the benefit of those seeking
relief from such afflictions. There
is more health for the digestive or
gans in a bottle of Electric Bitters
than in any other remedy I know of.

••What makes you think It was the
spirit of your husband that was ma

been any mistake alwut it. When I
got up and called Henry he kind of
shriveled up and then disappeared,

Americus, doubtless, wil be repre
sented at the annual meeting of the
League of Georgia Municipalities,
which assembles In Albany early in
October. This information has just
been given out by President
Sints of Richland, nnd is of general
interest throughout the State.
As Is known, the league is com
posed of the mayors and members of
councils of all cities, towns and vil
lages in the State. It has for its ob
jeet that collation and dissemination
of all information touching municipal
matters. The mayor of a city that is
a member of the league, can, for
two-eent stamp, secure any informa
tion desired on paving, waterworks,
light plants, sidewalks and everything
fconnected with muncipallties.
President Sints desires to make the
next meeting a success in every way
any Albany- will do all that a live,
progressive city can do to entertain
the visitors.
Usually tile league meets in June,
but owing to the sickness of the
president, and the general desire on
the part of tile members to meet la
ter in the year, when there Is every
probability of having a larger atten
dance, it has been decided to hold the
meeting in October.
The last meeting was held in
Athens and it was voted to be one
of the most enjoyable of all. but Al
bany, after a hard fight, having secur
ed the meet for this year, promised to
do even better than Athens.
Under direction of Gpntractor Hall
the new Cotnty building is being
pushed to completion ana will be
ready for occupancy on schedule time.
The front wall, built of granite and
pressed buff brick, will be solid and
substantial and handsome withal.
The brick used in Its construction
are rounded on the outer surface,
giving to the building an unique ap
pearance. These brick, composed of
cement nnd Band, are made by the
Americus Tile and Artificial Stone
Co., and are far more durable than
other brick used in finishing work.
