The “back home” movement inau gurated by my company last August has grown step by step and with great rapidity until noW. In less time than six months it has ovei- spread all the county east of the Mis- iissippi and south of ihe Ohio and Potomac rivers. That territory has for years been sending a constant stream of emigrants west and north- w^est, and the “back home” movement is simply an effort to draw them back. Abstractly considered that would appear to be a very difficult undertaking. Indeed some of the of ficers of my company could see no practical results in the plan; and it was openly scoffed at in many quar ters. Why, indeed, should people w'bo had gone into the Western and north western states and prospered come back to the South? Haven't they gone to better their coiutition, as they thought? Nevertheless we con tinued .tratheriog the names and ad dresses of Southerners in other states, and asking them to come “back home." We also sent them lit erature and pictures descriptive of changes which had occurred since they left, not failing to add the personal interest touch. We began receiving replies right from the be ginning, and in less than a month applications were coming from them for homeseekers rates; for informa tion about land and prices, and for all a homeseeker w’ants to know. Our regular advertising in western pa pers w-as not bringing so many in quiries by half. Therefore the plan was beginning to prove its value to us in finest results. But here an In direct, but very valuable feature of it began to show itself—that of pub lic interest. Being somewhat novel, it soon attracted the notice of new's- papers here in the South and, through them, a number of their subscriptions in the West (people whose names we did not have) w'ere apprised of our plan, and began waiting both to us and their nev,*s- papers about it. This, however, was confined to the small weekly papers. The large Southern dailies were very slow’ to see the “human interest” phase of the movement. Indeed the first big daily to cover the story w’as one entirely outside. Gradually, though, public interest was aroused, and its effects have been, first, to increase the number of inquiries for lands, and, second, to discourgae the outgo of people from the South. The latter has been furthered by the publication of let ters from people (Southerners) in the West advising young men to stay in the South. Inquiries now' began coming to us from people who had gone West from sections on other railroads and remote from our lines, asking for rates “back home.” At this point we decided that more people in any part of the South moans moreb usiness in all parts of tlie South, consequently ■>ve invited the other roads of the South to join us in extending the movement to cover all the states of the Southeast v/ithin the limits above stated. When we did this the press of the entire country took notice of it, and letters of inquiry now’^ com menced coming from people w'ho had never been in the South at all. Boards of trade in the South began gathering lists of people gone West from thsir seotions and giving us, after sending them an invitation t« come “back home.” In thew hole course of our work we have not stepped aside to the orize and conjecture. Nor did we at tempt a w^arfare against the West. We believed our people there w'ould tell us the facts about conditions in the West, and they have. A large number of them say the oppor tunities for young men are now prob ably better in the South. They agree that those in the West are by no means what they were. But as to that, their actual return and buy ing land in the South is the best proof. This they are doing. Of course the “back home” move ment is an immigration plan, pure and simple. In almost all we have said about it that fact has been em phasized. Our territory and that of most other Southern railroads is sparsely populated—very meagerly indeed, as compared to the Northern states. Therefore, like the Western railroads, we want more people. To get them it was apparent, from facts show'n bj' the 1910 census, that some thing different from former methods was necessary. The “back home” .plan is different, because it has a direct personal interest for the people themselves—the rank and file of peo ple. It has made a “hit” with them, and Southerners everywhere are dis cussing it. When we have sent the call to a million former Southern- erns there will be a million people all talking about the South at one time; and it is probable that at least a million other people will hear something favorable to the South. Moreover, the sending of a million special Invitations, with literature, will be mighty apt to be made known to at least ten million newspaper readers in the United States. Some of them might be thus led to in quire w’hat changes have occurred in states w’hich can so confldently call upon their own people to leave the West and come “back home.” Indeed we have already had letters making that inquiry, , difllculty heretofore has been the indifference of the Southern people towards immigration. Indeed tnes ubject has been unpopular In some quarters, primarily in respect to foreigners. In Georgia a slogan —"Georgia for Georgians.” inis Indifference or open opposition has largely aborted previous imml- grauon plans. Even where there was no declared opposition to forelgntiers, there as no popular interest in oringing more people into the com- inunity. The returning home of one of the neighbor’s boys was of more local concern than the coming of into the community. The “back home” plan, already hav- The Badge of Honesty Is on every wrapper of Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery because a full list of ingredients composing it is printed there in plain English.

The man who comes “back home,” after some years absence, usually becomes a leader in his com munity, and his influence tends to alter local opinion and distrust of strangers. If he has been in the West he is likely to particularly favor the bringing of more people into the community. From every angle of vision the ‘back home*’ movement is good, but its one clear, incontestable merit is that it gives the intimate, personal Southern immigration.
