Where Are We Drifting No. 2
It is with much indignation
that we are obliged to read every
few days of some new scheme to
get the best of the Georgia far
mer. A short time ago the buy
a-bale of cotton scheme was
hatched up by the Atlanta Jour
nal and paraded through the state
as the only thing that could re
lieve the farmer of his cotton at
a good price, and the innocent
farmer saw visions of his table
loaded with all of the delicacies
money could purchase. But how
did it turn out? Thousands of
dollars were drawn from the
pockets of northern people who
thought they were helping the
Georgia farmer, but the help ail
went into the pockets of the un
scrupulous speculators who or
iginated it and the farmer got —
left as usual.
And now they are hatching up
another scheme with their flow
ery arguments that is going to
be of so much benefit to the
whole state of Georgia and learn
the farmers something thev nev
er knew before. And what is it*
They want to import several
thousand catholic foreigners over
here to teach our people howto
farm and at the same time sow
the seeds of Catholicism broadcast
through the state. It has been
accomplished in the Northern
and Western states and is rapidly
drifting southward.
The foreigners, as a r U le, al
ways bring a large per rent of
paupers and criminals with them
wiio as soon as they land b“gin
t<> prey upon the good nature of
the American people-
Many states have been trying
for years to have laws passed re
stricting this class of immig'-a
tion, but to no effect, as there are
too many catholic sympathizers
among our law makers.
These so-called farmers they
want to import have no money
but will come here as paupers to
be f id and cared for by our peo
ple- It is proposed to turnover
thousands of acres to them free
for the sake of their company and
learn us how to farm.
Oh pity the ignorance of the
poor Georgia farmer that doesn't
know enough to plant a bill of
beans and has to send to Belgi
um to get some one to learn him
how. And they must be ignor
ant. for doesn’t these inteii
g«nt (?) papers tell us so, and the
papers ought to know, as they
have inaugurated so many wild-
Cat schemes to fool the farmer,
and it has proved successful ev
ery time.
It is true Georgia has many
thousand acres of land that could
be made to produce bountiful
crops if it was brought to a state
of cultivation, and if the govern
ment would give us a share of
the money we are helping to con
tribute toward reclaiming the
land along the Mississippi and
other rivers we could get along
without help from across the
pond.
It ie not ignorance on the part
of the Georgia farmer, for he can
clear a forest or dig a ditch to
drain the land as well as any
Belgian. What is needed is cap
ital, as it taaes money to do these
things, and that is something
these foreigners do not bring.
The south is the coming coun
try, both in agriculture and
all other pursuits, and if we
will follow the example of the
Western states who are now in
the midist of thrift and prosper
ity, and induce the Northern and
Easier n farmers who have money
to come here and locate, and if
there is any teaching to be done
let them do it, the south will he
far better off than with this horde
of paupers some of the papers are
trying to make us believe is our
only salvation.
Therein a scheme behind it
all, and our people should watch
that they are not caught before
it is too Iqje.
We can do no better than to re
peat the note of warning from
the columns of the Jeffersonian,
which covers the case exactly,
and should put a bug in the ear
of those who are trying to fool
our farmers by introducing for
eigners, of which this country
now has far too many:
“The State that will deliber
ately try to lower its standard by
making a bid for this class of
immigrant, is making for itself a
misery that will fill its jails, its
pauper homes, its free dispens
aries, its free hospitals and its
potter fields,
“The peasant class of Europe
is not the class that this country
was settled by, and it has no
pride of race, no sentiment of
high morals to be maintained,
and nothing but the living for to
day, with the needs thereof
“Under a very speciously
worded circular, a bid is being
made for a demand for a influx
of Bavarian immigrants to the
State of Georgia. As sure as this
move on the part of the big busi
ness interests and the big land
owners to secure cheap labor, is
made a certainty, just so surely
will Geo r gia take her place with
the other states that are plagued
with the tremendous percentage
of the professional charity men
dicant
“There are enough complica
tions now, without injecting this
one, and before adding his stamp
of approval to this move, the man
who has the welfare of his State
at heart will do well to look at it
from all sides and learn what
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado and
New York have gained by this
brand of immigrant.”
The North has been the dump
ing ground and is overrun by
Dagoes, Italians and nearly ev
ery other nation under the sun,
who are stepping in and under
ming the American people with
cheap inferior labor, and sowing
the seeds of anarchy and Cathol
icism, and in nearly every town
of any size can be found their
church with its trained military
company and the basement tilled
with arms and full equipment for
the same.
Now will some of our knowing
ones rise up and tell us what it
all means? Must Georgia Jay
down and let the state become
tilled with the off scouring of oth
nations, or in other words,
“Where Are We Drifting?”
The threat to disfranchise those
who voted the Progressive ticket
in the recent election was all a
big bluff The primary election
law is a state law and all vote *
must be allowed to participate.
Election managers who refuses
to let a man vote, who is register
ed, will be violating the law.
