Few Foreigners Have Loca
ted in the South So Far.
HE STATES’ CO-OPERATION NEEDED
Industrial Experts Predict That
the Movement of Immigrants
to Southern S ales Will Beg n
About October.
Washington.—The next act in
the drama of the nation’s events will
be a flood of immigration into the
"Bouth not only from the North ; n 1
Middle West, but from countries of
JCurope, especially those bordering
on the Baltic and North sens. In
quiry at the legations of Norway,
Sweden and Denmark elieits the
fact that the representatives of these
countries are making special efforts
to head their immigrating citizens
into the country south of the Ohio
and Potomac and east of the Missis
sippi. These foreign ministers have
gotten busy on the matter and are
seeking all information regarding
special advantages offered immi
grants in the different localities of
the South, especially m the states
along the South Atlantic seaboard.
The immigration into the Soutli
from Europe has of late years been
most meager. While the foreign
settlers for the ten months ending
May, 1910, were in New Jersey,
51,000, and nearly 25,000 in little
llonnecticutt, there came into Geor
gia from this source less than 500;
North Carolina got a scant 800, and
South Carolina but 156. Tennes
see got just one over 500, while
Virginia absorbe^l only 1,800. Ma
ryland, with one-fifth the area of
Virginia, got 5,000 of them. The
small District of Columbia, a scant
five by ten miles in area, received
as many immigrants practically as
the combined states of North Caro
lina, South Carolina, Georgia and
Tennessee.
Now all this is going to be chang
ed if the Southern states will co-op-
crate with the efforts of the foreign
representatives here in turning the
tide in their direction. The class
of immigrants to be thus obtained
are of the most desirable type, the
sturdy, hard'working, law-abiding
men of North Europe. These men,
when settled on the present waste
lands of the South, will not only
make good citizens from the start,
but will rear up a breed upon the
fertile acres full of stamina and vi
tality.
Industrial experts predict that
the movement into the South will
begin about October 1. Large tracts
of land are being figured on ir
Georgia and Florida by several pro
moling companies as homes for the
expected immigration, and in the
Southern states farther north there
are m.ov. ments of like character
taking place.
for physical reasons alone there
would be little likelihood of Mr.
Tillman ever again being able, to
take up actively the work of a polit i
cal leader. Before this last attack
he had an illness that sent him
abroad for months in an effort to
recover, and since his return, though
he soemhod about normal, he has
dropped into the background.
“All through the tariff light he
seemed to be drifting along.
'JTno truth is, Tillman has lost
his grrip on the state. Ever since
lie defeated Hampton for the Senate
his position lias I e si undisputed,
but at bis last election when there
wai no candidate whe dared oppose
him, 15,000 men scratched his
name on the bal ot just to show
tliep didn’t like him. That was a
straw in the wind, it’s strange but
even at the bight of his power he
had never been able to make office
holders in the state and the dispen
sary, which was his favorite issue,
has been legislated out out of exis-
teuence, in spite of his strenious de
fence of it.”

Remarkable Feature ol Porter
Charlton’s Character Shown In
Documents Written to Rela
tives ol His Dead Wile.
New York, Sept. 24.—Letters
written by young Porter Charlton,
after he had slain his wife and
thrown her remains into Lake Como,
Italy, according to his confession,
which contain light and breezy com
ment and reference to his wife as
though she were sitting at his side
while the espitles were being penned
w'll 1 e submitted to Secretary of the
S ate Knox by counsel for Captain
H. H. Scott, brother of the murd
ered woman,
Captain Scott and his lawyers
claim that the letters show that
Charlton was sane. The letters
were written to relatives of Mrs.
Mary Scott Castle Charlton and
contain airy commonplaces as though
the writter’s mind was vexed by no
care in the world—least of all the
consciousness of murder. The most
remarkable of the letters was written
to Captain Scott, who was then
stationed at Fort Morgan, Ala.
This letter was mailed after the mur
der had been committed.
“This is a bully little cottage,”
wrote Charlton in an enthusastic
manner. “It will indeed be hard
to go hack to business after an idyl
like this. It is very delightful af
ter the throb and the strife and the
damning routine of ihe city.”
In a postscript he said: “In
reading this over to Mamie she says
that I have told you about honey
suckles, but have entirely omitted
that we live on Lake Como, where
we will be for the next two months
One of the letters is written to
Miss Kate Scott, a sister of the
captain, living in San Francisco
It started in this way:
“No doubt you think that ,>we
two have fallen on some unfenced
place on this old world, but such is
not the case. Merely is a very sick
little lady—Mamie—and the honey
moon.”
Mrs. Charlton was dead when
her husband wrote about her so
lightly. Another of the letters
was mailed to Mrs. Frederick Lcwin
of 2868 Park, ave., Montreal, an
other sister. Chariton in this letter
spoke of his wife-as “a dear sweet
girl.”
