Special to The Georgian. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 13.—Just the llvest sort of proposition the second an nual session of the Immigration and Quarantine Conference of the South ern States Is proving. Big men are here, brainy fellows, and they are here to handle without gloves, and with an eye single to securing the best results. The keynote of the conference was struck hy Governor Cox In his opening address of welcome on yesterday, however, when he said, among other things: “,We have a white population the equal of-anv that Inhabits the earth, but we arc confronted with a race prqblera that is a hindrance’to our de velopment and prosperity. The na tional government tins conferred upon the negro civil and political rights not warranted by the standard of his man hood and his relations to society. These farts deter the class of immigrants which wo desire from coining and making their homes in the South. But we must realize that the negro Is here to stay; that the race problem must be solved by fhe white man of the South. Isjt us hope that In this rruclal test we will have the sympathy and aid of our white brother of the North. If they will not help us, If they will not repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to our federal constitution, then let us here resolve that we write In'the fundamental law of every Southern state guaranteeing to the ne gro protection to life, liberty and the pursuit of happlnes, but forever deny ing the vicious and Ignorant all polit ical rights." Bureau of Immigration. Continuing, lie said: "We should Induce each Southern state to establish-'a bureau of Immi gration with sufficient appropriations to send agents to European countries, to England, to Ireland, to Scotland, to Switzerland, to France, to Germany, to Wales and to Sweden, to Induce the Intelligent, the honest, the Industrious citizens of those countries to come and locate in our midst, to have them brought direct to Southern ports. "Individuals cunnot solicit foreign Immigration. Our state can." Governor Blanchard Not Present, Governor Newton Blanchard, Louisiana, who was unable to attend the conference, was represented by Dr. C. H. Irion, of New Orleans. Dr. Irlbn apologized for the absence of Gov ernor Blanchard, who, he said, was de tained by the press of public business. Dr. Irion termed the conference "a meeting of men with a purpose—the fulflllmen of the destiny of the South.” He said the question of Immigration was the paramount one, as the prob lem of preventing yellow fever had al ready been solved. Ho said Louisiana would not lie found lacking In helping to fulfill the destiny of the South. Further welcome lo the delegates was extended by President Leland Hume, of the Nashville board of trade. Governor Hayward Speaks. Governor Heyward, of South Caro lina, touched upon the subject of the deportation of the negro during the course of his remarks. He said the project could not be attempted, how ever, unless It became a national rather than a Southern movement. He thought such a thing could not bo attempted until the negro problem was more acute In the North and better under stood there. "In the course of time," he declared, "the negro, who Is now rapidly Increasing In certain cities of the North, may be his fulluro to meet the expectations of the people of the lasting '.benefits to bs .achieved from them, j A lilnnber of prominent Southern men were unable owing to business matters to attend ' the conference.

The present meeting, which will be In session several days, is to consider the draft of a statute which the congress will seek lo have adopted In livery state of tile Union. The statute was drafted by a committee of emlneot lawyers and jurists mid prominent clergymen, all of whom are conver sant with the so-ealled divorce evil. Three Chapters of Act.
