I do not saythat the negro is incapable of development. I make no such assertion. But I say that the present need of my section of country is that we should have white immigration from every quarter. The statement to which I alluded a moment ago reads as follows: It may be well taken as a confirmation of -what the Manufacturers Record has persistently and emphatically claimed for the South and the strength of her position before the world today that every effort to decry Southern industries and development has its foundation in purely fictitious conditions that vanish into thin air upon the most casual investigation. For a single examph. of thii take the absurd talk of a few critics. who are endeavoring to show that the building of new towns in the South has gone as fares it can with -afety. .Tut while this idle talk is being intruded upon unwilling listeners and rcadcro. the figures of the present census show that the population of the South has not vet reached the point that will make it necessary to fill in the water coursesJ n Olor to accommodate those who desire to find sites for homes.
