Herbert, chairman ot the reception, committee of the Southern Industrial parliament, which will convene here May 23, Saturday nignt, in discussing the avan-tages afforded in the South, said: "Heretofore-, two factors have mitigated against desirable immigration into the Southern States.

The trucking resources of that part of the Atlantic slope-, from Virginia to Florida, carry annually many thousands of dollars into that territory. If the governors of the Southern States, accompanied by intelligent delegations competent to speak of the sanitary conditions, agricultural and mineral resources and maunfacr turing opportunities, would assemble in Washington and pronounce authoritatively upon these subjects, their States would be benefitted and it would attract attention from the investment world."
