Me PD, Tobin, one of Anguatals delegates to the New York qriyyation on the Internet of Southern Immigra ton and development, to an inter view in Ue Chronicle, said “It was a Highly representative body of W00 delegates from the South and is 47 cm well pressed with the work of the convention, and believe that that impresson was made upon each deler|' wate, “Thy permanent committee appoint ed in compated of twenty seven repre sentative men from the South and East in about equal numbers who,with proper cupwork from like organizations in the Southern States and china, are ative to bring about the development of our abundant resources of water power, mines and forest, and the til ling of our fertile farm lands, 50 per cent, of which are not under cultivat ion any year .TV am convinced that the desired end can be best reached, and in the +Wiortest Unie, by each State appropri ating, through their legislative bodies, a sum of money acnually to be ex pended by a Staite commission com posed of business men, non political, who will keep In dlog touch with the permanent committe of twenty sever: for It must be admitted that if Georgia or any other puttion of funds nor had an argentaation through which her claring for great possibilities could be conveyed to this head committee, and trough them to the balance of the world, so would most likely be amongst the last to receive attention ; and what is true of the States in that respect is equally true of each coun ty and city in the State, Our Young Men's Business League in a living illus tration to us in Augusta of the truth of this assertion, and ihs membership should be increased at once by each patriotic citizen enrolling his name. 4P found that Georgia was on the tongue of nearly every person I met, and that she in belog looked to retake the initiative in this matter, and by it keep the lead she has 90 Jong main tained in progress and enterprise. “I believe I may mention with per fect good note that the president of one of the leading banks in New York, with a very large list of Southern ac counts, told me that his Augusta bus iness had been more satisfactory dur ing the period of depression the past twelve or eighteen months than that of any Southern city; and the cashier of another bank said that if the tariff bill could be passed very shortly, so that importers and manufactures could are a basis upon which to work, we would see, in his opinion, long period s of prosperity and as the country has seldom had. “Further like with men of means and position regarding the develop ment we so much desire convince me that the next greatest, if not the great ext, factor in the upbuilding of any country in the railroads. T'was told that persons in Europe desiring to locate on farms in this country could go 0 bureaud in most any prominent city and get the information they needed about lands in the West, and when T asked Low 1 was done, I was told that the railronds in this country leading to the West did it single-hand ed, except in isolated cases where anil or ia migration companies contribut ed unde, and when they did so they got a driver beneft from the sale of their funds, engineered by the rail roads. ‘Therefore, how very important that we of the Southern States should not shut our doors to such aid by hos tile legislation; on the other hand, we should encourage promoters and builders of railroads in every possible Way: “Woe can, through the permanent committee of twenty-seven, eatablials in this country and in Europe bur eaus of information, and employ agents with restricted powers granted by the commission, and by the aid of the railroads bring a class of people acceptable to cach a committee of twenty-seven being ai executive body and expected to direct the expenditure of the funds rather than leave it to the bureau to place in favorite advertising papers and syndicates, would preclude the possibility of a misuse of funds on the part of the bureau agent, which, I am tell, is an important point to guard. “Of course we have gotten a great s eal of free and valuable advertising. + ‘but unless active steps are taken out the heels of the convention the good 1 resulta can too be forgotten. “Augusta has taken a moat promi nent part in this movement, ndil it}! our young and enterprising seminees; to io general doy embly, goon to con vene, would vie them aslves na lively towards or desired ey ‘unt i a dug: | ented tout ; ——— ee Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder ‘World's Fair Highest Award, + Bee the World's Pair Por Pistoun ‘tents.

He felt that a wrong had been done them in rush ing them uoto trial without witnesses, yet he had no fault to find with either judge or jury. Branley further stated that he did not see how that jury found Cox guits ty. Bam Gwynne, the grandson, had sworn that he recognized him (Bran ley) by his voice and escape, yet he never could identify Cox. He believed that Bam Gwynne had been forced to awear all he had, for he had already told these different stories on the atandbout the affair. Both the men again declared their annocance of the murder and reiterat ed that they never heard they were charged with the crime until after reaching Boyd county, Kentucky from a trip into Illinois, ‘They surrendered ‘themselves because they knew they were innocent.
