The South’s Opportunity.
Concerning the question of im¬
migration and its encouragement
in the Southern states, much has
been written and said recently.
Efforts to foster immigration by
advertising the South have been
greater than ever before during
the past few years. The Wash¬
ington Post, recognized the need
of this section of the country for
strong, intelligent recruits for
farm hands, points out what it
e;nceives to be a great opportun¬
ity to supply this need.
The federal government is en¬
gaged just now, notes the Post,
in opening for settlement some
9.000,000 acres of public lands in
Nebraska, Wyoming and South
Dakota, the result of treaties be
tween the Indians and the cong¬
ress by which these lands have
reverted to the government. Re¬
ports from the Rosebud Agency
country shows that thousands of
applicants will be disappointed
in their efforts to secure home¬
steads or the right to purchase
any of the agricultural lands that
will thu3 be thrown upon the mar¬
ket. Officials of the Rand De¬
partment state that never since
the close of the civil war has
there been such a demand for
homes, for farm lands of all
kinds. Many of those who have
been looking for homes in the
newly opened country and have
been disappointed are turning
toward the lands of the Canadian
Northwest. Already more than
90,000 Ameiican homeseekers
have located in the Canadian
country, and indications are that
fuliy 10,000 more will be added to
the colony this year. With the
disposition of the lands now of¬
fered for presemption or sale the
government’s part in furnishing
free homes will be about ended.
The public land available for ag¬
ricultural pu poses has been
about all disposed of, and any
additional lands that will be pla¬
ced on the market will come
through the operation of the irri¬
gation law and by sale of irriga¬
ted lands. The property reclaim¬
ed by government, expenditures
in irrigation enterprises, will cost
more than improved lands in the
South, and the area of them will
he very limited.
The opportunity would seem to
be ripe for the South to take ad¬
vantage of this demand for farm
lands and the inability ot the
North and West to supply it. The
great need of the South is for a
generous inflow of the white set¬
tlers of the thrifty, enterprising
sort, The men who are now go¬
ing into the West and to the Ca¬
nadian Northwest are the restless
pushing, busy, enterprising class
just the kind needed for the de¬
velopment of the rich, latent re¬
sources of the south. There is
no further promise for the home
seekers in the West and North¬
west unless tney are willing to
battle with the climatic conditions
that make every penny secured
more than doubly earned. The
South offers many superior ad¬
vantages to the men who jhave
their fortunes to make and the
will and grit to matte them It
only remains for the railroad or¬
ganizations and the commercial
bodies of the South to organize
a systematic campaign for the
purpose of securing desirable im¬
migration. The railroads of the
West led in this work years ago
and carried their campaign into
Europe. They displayed maps
of the United States with the en¬
tire south printed in black ink
and labeled ‘’the black belt” and
accompanied by warnings to
prospective immigrants to keep
away from that country. The
damage done by that kind of
railroad rivalry can never be cal¬
culated. The South has suffered
from it for a generation by see
ing desirable immigrants hurry¬
ing to the cold and semi-arid
plains of the West and Northwest
and shunning the attractive
Sou.h as though it were a plague
infected district. It is high time
that the South take steps to coun¬
teract the ill effects of this unfor¬
tunate kind of advertising. It
can be done by united efforts and
persistent, energetic action, and
without resort to any mistepre
sentation.—Macon News.

The readers of this paper will he pleas¬
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the on¬
ly positive cure now known to the med¬
ical fraternity. Catarrh being a consti¬
tutional disease, requires a constitution¬
al treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the founda¬
tion of the disease, and giving the pa¬
tient strength by building up the consti¬
tution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

Taken With Cramps.
Win. Kirmse, a member of th‘ bridge
gang working near Littleport was taken
suddenly ill Thursday with cramps and
a kind of cholera. His case was so se¬
vere that he had to have the members of
the crew wait upon him and Mr. Gifford
was called and consulted. He told them
he had a medicine in the form of Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remeday that lie thought would help
him out and accordingly several doses
were administered with the result that
the fellow* was able to be around nest
day. The incident speaks quite highly
of Mr. Gifford's medicines.—Elkader,

he said: “You better not eat

Harriet; grandma says that red
pepper kills aunts.”
Violent Attack of Diarrhoea Cured by

rhoea Remedy and Perhaps a Life
Saved.
“A short time ago I was taken with a

would have died if I had not gotten re¬
lief,” says John J. Patton, a leading cit¬
izen of Patton, Ala., “A friend recom¬
mended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera

twenty-five cent bottle and after taking
three doses of it was entirely cured. I

Save All The Hay Possible.
Hay promises to be worth its
money the coming season. The:
weather -has been unfavorable!
for the crop over a large area in
!be South and there will hardly
be a half crop made, It will pay
to save everything that can be
made into the shape of hay or
“roughage.” Hay or long forage
is absolutely essential to the well
being of stock in the winter time,
when there is no g rass nor graz
ing. A farmer had better be
short on corn than to lack the
necessary ration of hay.
Thousands of horses and mules
are lost in South every year, the
result of the excessive feeding
of corn without hay or long for¬
age, Prom indigestion to fatal
colic is a short step frequently,
and corn without hay promotes
cnronic indigestion.—S. A. Cook,
in Savannah News.
