Tb« Joint nrf nnont of The New* and Courier and Commlaetoner of Immi gration, WaUon, la given In h»ir be* tow. We publWh l« with pleaenre, be* «aaee it la the beat preeentation of their contention poeetble, and In diwl- fatteg their mirage. In crumbling their oaatlee In theatv, at We aball do to their own conviction, we will render the State and her people acme good Ctrvloa. Their argument remind* na of a etory banded down from the good old time# In Barnwell. Ovar alxty yeara a very popular and competent, somewhat aooentrio, gentleman Wai clerk of court, lie bad been read* log Sterne’* work* and when In the trial ef a Cause he wae asked to swear a tit. TrUtara'UbvIngton ^ a witness he, the clerk,'directed theeourt crier to call TrDtart Shandy Covington This was done, Mr; Covington came lh. was sworn and gave hi* testimony. On quitting the witness stand ifr. Cbvlrtgton approsched the clerk’s table and wblapored to that official: “Mr. Clark, my name Is Trlstam Covington and not TrUtam Shandy CotJngton dnd you oughtn’t to‘have me celled that.” Clerk :“I know you, and yoUr name’s fyistaM 1 Sliandy, ,, Mr. Covington : “My father and tny mother told me my name’s Just TrUtam and they knew better tlttn' yott.” rt Bot,’’ answered the clerk testily, M your name la Tnstam Shandy Cov ington, for I saw It in a book.” Similarly Commissioner Watson bad peon on a book, either of the census or «f the comptroller gsnersl’s office, that there are about 13,000,000 aorea of land In this State not undor actual cultiva tion, and he straightway deetared and publlshad to tha world that the said grand total U available for Immigrants and The New* and Courier gave a ^Jilok second to the motion. With all possible charity and cour tesy we beg to enlighten the ooui.sel for the affirmative that they hsve not caught on to tba real Issue between us. They have expended their strength (n lb# first round In proving, from teeing It la a book, that there are about 18,- 000,000 aorta of land in South Carolina hot Under aotual cultivation, a figure not as yet denied or questioned by this paper* That (tope to thslr satisfaction fliey bare Imped to the conclusion that. All these acres not under actual culti vation are available for Immigrants. this State a continuous village of homogeneous people from the therms to tide water. To illustrate, we quote the remark of an honored, wvtt Informed oltlacn made to us this morn* ing. “When 1 came to Barnwell twenty six years ago there were two children In town, now there are three hundred attending the Graded School, and the same rate of progress obtains throughout Baruwell and Bamberg counties. ^ Tbe News and Conrler rainbows its opinion that the coming of such a peo ple' would so Improve agricultural con dltlont that the acres under actual cul tivatlon “would yield vastly larger crop* than they have ever yielded.” We have felt the public pulse and we kneW the public temper from- the Edlslo to the Savannah, and the people In that blesaed belt are unanimous In their conviction and conclusion that they can work out their own material salvation, and that they do not need an overflow of immigrants to teach them how to farm or live or run poll tics, and their decision is wise and final. How soon our esteemed contempo* rary has forgotten the tale of woe it told In the tweet spring thus of the hard times that had fallen on the farm* ars of Its own bailiwick, because they bad made more truck, potatoes, cab bage Ac. titan they Could sell and how all their work was profitless! With-greater rapidity It has blotted from Its memory the earnest effort eo dorsed by all business men, from tbe titan belting the plow and hoe to tbe bank president holing the purse [.strings to cut down the cotton acreage and use of fertilizers to that tbe aupply of tbe staple might be limited and Its price made profitable! The suggestion that “we should be able firms Is a possibility too remote for serious thought. Should Immigrants ^ come without the race caste existing here and coalesce with the descendants of Ham, our last estate would be worse than our first. Leave that problem to Providence. sbvti'd the poilrr of the «d pno *iif.v.nf Immigration prevail and prove a sue* cess this State would soon be brought to the old world condition Where over crowded population forces emigration, and the children and grand children of this generation would have to hunt homes In other lauds. ROOM FOR IMMIGRANTS. * Tin Haknwbi.l Vkoplk is disposed to doubt the accuracy of tbe statement recently made by the New* end -Gon- rler, that there are “over 13,OOU t 0o<) acres “of available land capable of -the highest development of agriculture” in South Carolina, and thrifty homeseek- ors would find here lands for sale at moderate figures, and a disposition on the part of tbe State Government, through Its Commissioner of Immigra- hungeriog and thirsting for new own- tlon, to aid them in’successfully estab- - "jhllt make VOUr selections Art.

Come early ■fj* The News and Courier was made upon tha anthority of Col. E; J. Watson, Commissioner of immlgi'Rtlon, and, In suit* of the “doubting Thomas” in Barnwell, ITwaTtrue to all intents and purposes. We Inquired of the Comp- • trollcr General at Columbia several days ago how many aorea of land are now under cultivation In SriuUi Caro lina, and received last night from Com misaiouer Watson, to whom our In quiry was referred, the following very clear and altogether adequate state ment: The State has a total of 19.808,800 acres pf land. The total number of acre* In so-called “farms” Is 13,980,014. Of tbls 8,7715,711 acrea are classed as Improved (under actual cultivation) and 8,209,273 acres as “unimproved” (In forfst and lying idle.) There are I5b,856 ‘’farms” in the State, and of these ^,38! are “operated hy nejrro farmers” and 112.822 derive their prin cipal Income from cotton. These were the actual figures on Juno l, 1900. Allowing a liberabaver- age~ of Increase as compared to past decade reooorda, omitting, of course, the decade after -the civil war, we should have today under actual culti vation not more than 0.330,000 acres of land. It Is probable that the Increase has not been so great. Owing to the withdrawal of so many people from he fields to-engage in manufacture* the increase may be not more tjiau to give a total of stemUHow aorea.^ ^., Of tHo total of 19.308 800 acres of land In the State 18,315.042 were re turned for taxation In 1901, in- ITOUKS FOR GREAT BARGAINS,- 33.
