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 by Governor Cox In his opening
address of. welcome on yesterday,
however, when he said, among other
things:
"Wo have a white population the
equal of anv that Inhabits the enrth,
but we are confronted with a race
problem that is a hindrance to our de
velopment and prosperity. The na
tional government has conferred upon
the negro civil and political rights not
warranted by the standard of his man
hood and his relations to society. These
facta deter the class of immigrants
which we desire from coming and
making their homes in the South. But
we must realise that the negro Is here
to stay; that the race problem must
be-solved by the white man of tho
South. Let us hope that In this crucial
test we will have the sympathy und 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 will
write In the fundamental law of .every
Southern state guaranteeing to the ne
gro protection to life, liberty and the
pursuit of tmpplnes, but fower deny
ing the vicious and Ignorant all polit
ical rights."
Bureau of Immigration.
Continuing, he said:
“Wo should Induce each Southern
state to eatablish a bureau of Immi
gration with sufficient appropriations
to send agents to European countries,
to England, to Ireland, to Scotland, to
Switserlnnd, to France, to Germany, to
Wales and to Sweden, to Induce the
Intelligent, the honest, the Industrious
cltlxens of those countries to come and
locate In our midst, to have them
brought direct to Southern ports.
'Individuals cannot solicit foreign
Immigration. Our state can."
Governor Blanchard Not Present.
Governor Newton Blanchard, of
Louisiana, who was unable to attend
the conference, was represented by Dr.
C. H. Irion, of New Orleans. Dr. Irion
apologised for the absence of "Gov
ernor Blanchard, who, he said, was de
tained by the press of public business.
Dr. Irion termed tho conference "a
meeting of men with a purpose—the
futflllmen of the destiny of the South."
He said the question of Immigration
wns the paramount one, as the prob
lem of preventing yellow fever had al
ready been solved. Ho said Louisiana
would not be found lacking In helping
to fulfill the destiny of tho South.
Further welcome to the delegates
was extended by President Leland
Hume, of the Nashville board of trade.
Governor Heyward Speaks.
Governor Heyward, of South Caro
lina, touched upon the subject of thp
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 be attempted
until the negro problem was more
acute In tho North and better under
stood there. "In the courso of time,"
he declared, “the negro, who Is now
rapidly Increasing In certain cities of
the North, may be his failure to meet
the exiwctatlon* of the people of the
North,-and by his own consequent re
sponsibilities, become such a hindrance
und menace that our Northern friends
will be ready .to do something more
thnn simply give advice to the South."
Condemns Mob Violsnct.
Governor Heyward condemned mob
violence In every form, and .likewise
did he condemn the tendency on the
part of negroes to overlook certain
crimes' on their part of members of
their race. "If there were neither mur
der, arson nor criminal assaults,'” said
he. "It can be sufely said there would
be no lynching. These crimes do not
receive anything like their Just meas
ure of condemnation from the negro
race.”
Du.lng the afternoon session M. V.
Richards, of Washington, D. C., who Is
land and Immigration agent of the
Southern railway, urged that all stiitea
in the Union should establish depart
ments of Immigration and all should
make appropriations to sustain the
same on a useful basis.
Hon. J. C. Hemphill, editor of The
Charleston News und Courier nnd who
Is thoroughly conversant with the
Smith Carolina law und the depart
ment of Immigration In that state,
which Is a creature of such law, ex
plained the workings of the system to
the delegates and the practical and-
lasting benefits to be achieved from
them, t, -

clergymen and men of affair*, repre
senting many states, 1 assembled at the
Bellevue-St'ratfnrd, 1 In this city, today
at the opening of the second meeting
of the National Congress on Uniform
Divorce Laws. The attendance
larger and of u more representative
character-Ilian that of the first meet
Ing, which was held In Washington last
spring,
The present meeting, which will be In
session several days, is to consider the
draft of a statute which the congress
will seek to have adopted In every
state of the Union. The statute waa
drafted by a committee of eminent
lawyer* and Jurists and prominent
clergymen, nil of whom are conver
sant with the so-called divorce evil.
Three Chapters of Aot.
The act Is divided Into three chap
ters; the first consists of Jurisdictional
provisions; the second, procedure, and
the third, general provisions, and Is en
titled, "An act regulating annulment
of marriage and divorce." While little
or no change Is made In the given
causes for divorce as now existing,
certain provisions were evidently made
with a view of arresting the Increas
ing demand for legal severance of mar
ital bonds. -
Under these provision* secret, or
"star-chamber" sessions for hearing
divorce cases before masters or other
representatives of the courts are done
away with, und "all hearings and trials
shall be hail before the court. . . . .
anil In all cases be public." It Is also
provided that "a decree dissolving the
mnrrlsge tie so completely as to per
mit the marriage of either party should
not become operative until the lapse of
a reasonable time after hearing or trial
upon the merits of the case." The Wis
consin, Illinois und California rule of
one year Is recommended.
Divorc* of Two Kinds.
Another part of I he proposed law
prohibits the solicitation of a divorce
case by advertisement, circular or oth
erwise, and prescribes for such an of
fense a fine of not more thnn Sl.nno und
Imprisonment of not more than one
year. Annulment of the marriage con
tract, us distinguished from divorce,
will be inode for the following causes:
Jmpotoncy. consanguinity, existing for-
msr marriage, fraud, force or coercion,
Insanity and Illegal uge.
Divorce, It Is provided, shall be of
two kinds—absolute and divorce from
lied nnd hoard. • Under the first classi
fication the grounds shall be adultery,
bigamy. Conviction nnd sentence for
crime, followed by two years' continual
Imprisonment; extreme cruelty; ••Ifl-
ful desertion, and hit bit mi I drunkenn-s-
for two years. The same'cause util
prevail In the second clnss with tin-
nddltlonar cause of "hopeless Insanity
of the .husband." No divorce shall lie
granted If It appears to the satisfac
tion of the court that the suit hits been
brought by collusion or that tin- plain-
tiff has secured or connived at the of
fense charged, or has cundoned It pr
lias been guilty of adultery not con-

QUALITY AND PRICE TO PLEASE EVERYBODY
__ _ E are selling hundreds und hundreds of heating stoves—selling them to all classes—because we have a stove with a price that
VV suits every stove purchaser. If you want a high priced stove, we have it; if you want a cheaper stove, we have it—or, in a few
words, we are prepared to suit everybody in both quality and price, and the most economical buyer can feel sure that he gets his
money’s worth when he trades with us. Many people buy BASE BURNERS; the “Radiant Estate” stands without a peer, and
they are iii use in many Atlanta homes. Our leader in high-class stoves is the “Estate Oak”—we ean refer to hundreds of people
who are delighted with them. Should yon not care for a coal stove, look at our “Gem” Oil Heater, just the thing for bathroom and
extra sleeping rooms, and the price is very moderate.
