A Prominent New Englander called
Sou'h
For several years It has been known that
ho Southern sectloof the Union was be
ing rapidly pushed to the front, but few
people of the North iviilly know how much
enterprise, pluck nnd determination those
people have. Before the Civil war between
the Stntes their surroundings nnd customs
Were different to ours. They were so much
a different people as though they lived In a
foreign country. They were surrounded
by slnves who did all t he work nnd It was
not necessary for thorn to exert themselves.
The young men grew up as largo land
owners with hundreds of slaves. Enoh
had ns It were a little kingdom of his own
over which he prevailed. They thought of
nothing but ootton and rloeoulture They
made cotton to be shipped to the Northern
ninrkets to lie mnde Into cloth and reship-1
ped back to the South nnd elsewhere They
were farmers, we up hero tho manufactur
ers.' But tho freeing of tho negroshnvo
changed things. Every mnn was depend
ent upon his own exertions. They were
left without money nnd without menus
and for thirty odd yenrs it was n hard strug
gle for those people with nothing but the
soil ns their Capitol, but this hard life Jtm
sho vn that the Southern people nro made
out of the same material, with the same
energy of the Northern men nud. all they
needed to develop into first class business
men was the opportunity.
'The climate Is not as many suppose, tho
cause why the whlto people did not work.
The fact Is that thoy did not have to work
hile they had slaves and even now It Is so
easy for any one to make mouey down
there that they do not have to work as hard
as wo do up here.
The Southern people are not so slow to
catch on. They are not npposod to Yankee
ways ns some say. nnd this prove, by the
fact that they nre getting Nothern men
and women to go down and teach them
how to do things in the Nothern way and
this shows they nre np to the times and
ready to lenrn all they can .
Among the foremost people In the work
of development are those along the great
Senboad Air Lino Knllroad which travers
es what Is known ns the Piedmont section
from Portsmouth nnd Norfolk, Va
through Virginia nnd the two Carolinns
Into the heart of Geoegla, Atlanta. To
guide peoplo In the work of development
the Seaboard Air Line has at considerable
expense aeoured the services of a former
citizen of New England a real live hust
ling Yankee Mr. E St John, a nntive of
Connecticut who went West with n young
mnn nud built up a reputation as a Kail
road Mnnnger nnd a developer, for above
other persons that hadnurthiiig todowiih
the development of tho great Western
States. The fact that those people are se
curing tho services of such a man Is pos-
tlve evidence that thoy are not behind iu
the inarch of progress. Mr. St. John-Is
located at Portsmourh, Virgiula, aud has
put Up at the Soeboard Air Lino nnd he is
Inducing many peoplo from tho North to
go down South. Ho has opned officers In
Boston at 3(16 Washington streot, in New
York nt371 Broadway, in Philadelphia at
80 South Third St.. In Baltimore nt 2(17 E .
Germnu St., In Washington at 1434 New
York Ave , and at each of these places
North, men are ompl yod to give different
Information to those who deslro to go
South; nnd during the past twelve mouths
more thnn four thousand persons have set
tled along the Seaboard Air Line, aud
those who think the Southern people nre
slow nre badly mistaken. The Senboad
Air Line Is owned by Southern uion nud
they nre showing by their acts that they
are going to have tho territory developed
In tho most substantial wav, and they nre
employing competent Northern ieoplo to
help them.
