HEYWARD TALKS ABOUT MEETI THINKS CONFERENOE AT NA VILLE ACCOMPLISHED MUC ,Real Need of the South-EmpI Laid Upon Iunigration and Ste Taken by This State. Gov. Heyward has returned f Nashville, where he attended Southern conference on immigra last week. The part taken by governor in the meeting and his dress touching ont the race prol and immigration matters have I noticed from one end of the coui to the oth.er. Many congratula letters have been received commo ing hi mon his speech and man3 the leading papers of the com have coinented on it editorially. Heyward was elected president of convention, a fact which grati him very much, coming as it did tribute to the part he had takei the proceedings. In talking over meeting, Cov. Heyward grew q enthusiastic about the possibilitie the South working out the prol now before the people. He con mented Mr. F. H. Hyatt of Colun and Maj. J. C. Hemphill of Cl'ai ton for the manner in which I represented. South Carolina at conference. ''In reveiwing the work of the vention,'' said the governor, ''I it is needless for me to say I am much pleased with the results of deliberations.' This is the second vention which has been held in South for the purpose of discu: immigration and kindred subjects I am sure that real work has 1 done and good results will fol The convention was called for pikrpose of the upbuilding of South and no consideration what< being given to matters of a polif nature. ''I found among the member strong sentiment looking toward practical solution of the econ( problems of the South as relatei the best interests of the countri large. I found in this body of resentative Southern men a full r< zation of the fact that the Soutl States from that section of the 1 ted States which is one of the r valuable of the producing section our great country, and that we I only to work together as a unit our common interests upon pract business lines in order to make South what fle is entitled to be, in order to benefit the people of entire United States. This. was key-note of tle vonleention and is (lie key-note of our- future wo This State's Initiative. ''It was partiicularly gifyina ie that (he initiativt- lakenm by St Ca rolinma in est ablishing a State part ment of agricim- tie, coimmi and iimmigration, was end(orsedl by convention, and that thie poalicy lined by our department two y ago as the only thiing to be don achieve practical results was the reej. policy.. ''I am turthier gratified that poilicy cariei(d withi it the reliet entirec country has been deman din its effort to wrestle with the evil iimmigratiorn ini the congested eeni of population.

''It it not our purpose05 tQ introi cheap labor into the South in pet,ition with .native labor. Cau has been taken by our State dep ment to throwv every protec around our native labor, and to ter their condition, as wvill devi more fully later. There is no q tion about the fact that on ace of its wonderful industrial gro and marvelous resources - the Sc today has not sufficient labor to rc that state of development which il its grasp. ''The true purpose of the immi: tion convenition at Nashville is toi vide this additional labor supply, I what is more impoirtant, increase white population of time South, w out in any way injuuring the1 class of our negro race, who have, by their work, filled an important place in our economic system. , '' Thle inifluenices behinid this move mnent are in nio sense antagonistic to SH- organized labor. The success of the H. work in which we are eniraged will on the contrary broaden the felid of [asis industrial effort, and by changing ps existing conditions in the South will result inevitably in enlarging the op portunities of those who work for rom their living; and will, at- the same the time, establish in this part of the tion country a better understanding be the tiveen the people who direct the great .ad- industrial enterprises of the country. ilem ' "For a good many years the most ee careful and conscientious students of try economic problems have been exer tory cised by the'congested conditions of ,d- the socalled ''labor market'' in the , of large cities and populous States of itry the North, East and West, to the ex Gov tent that during the past year the the United 'States authorities, even the fie(I president himself, have been giving as a the matter most careful consideration. 1 in 'This congestion is so great that labor the has not had a square deal, and the uite condition has )een seized by those s of who live by unwholesome agitation to darn iscover differences which in any 1l1- well organized cominunity do not ex ibia ist.
