He left the Thornwell or? phanage the sum of $5,000. Another noble bequest was that to Mr. William Boyer of Marlboro.

At a largely attended meeting of business men yesterday at the Com? mercial club, more than half of the capital stock of the proposed Charles? ton-Georgetown Steamboat Company I was subsc ribed, and the remainder of ! the s?ojcJs will probably be subscribed, 1 *- ' . the company organized and the re supmtion of the line undertaken. The j capttal s?oek is to be $20.000. } It '^as been hoped and expected that j Dr. AYoo?row Wilson, president of Columbia next week to attend the celebration of the South Carolina col? lege centennial, but the college au? thorities are destined to disappoint? ment, for two weeks Dr. Wildon has been ill at a hospital in New York city. A severe operation was there performed and it will be two weeks or more before Dr. Wilson will be able to resume even his presidential duties at Princeton. Policeman Knox, in the Columbia mill district, on Friday arrested D. W. Ward and Willie Mims for soliciting labor for the Graniteville mill. The presidential electors of this state will meet next Monday to con? clude the business for which they elected and to select a messenger to carry the vote of this state to the electoral college which meets in Washington next Tuesday.

Whitney as president of the Saratoga Racing association, and a steward of the National Rac-, ing Association, also owner of a prom? inent racing stable, is spending the winter in Aiken the guest of his. broth? er, Mr. Thomas Hitchcock, Jr. An important capture was made Thursday afternoon by Magistrate's Constable T. A. Mills in the arrest of Will Springs, colored, charged with the killing of officer S. E. Coles of Mecklenburg county, N. C., and the wounding of H. M. Nabors near Sugar Creek church, just across the North Carolina line, last Sunday afternoon. Immediately after the killing, Springs fled from the scene of his crime and came to that section where it is sup? posed he has since been hiding. For the arrest of Springs, Constable Mills, will receive a reward of $340-$200 from the governor of North Carolina and $100 from the sheriff of Mecklen? burg county. Constable Mills took his prisoner to Charlottee yesterday after? noon, where he was positively identi? fied as the man wanted for the killing of Cole and the wounding of Nabors. Four Italians, Thomas Scandini, Tuzo, Capsalata and Gualto, were ar? rested Friday at the rock fields near Pon Pon and carried to Charleston to answer to the charge of peonage un? der United States revised statutes 45526, 5527 and 1990. The arrests were made by Marshal Adams,. office Deputy Adams and Special Deputy Button with but little trouble. The United States officers \ would have probably-had a serious time but for the fact that Mr. James Lawton, su perintedent of the works, but having no connection at all with the' peonage, kindly assisted the marshals and in? duced the Italians to submit to the arrest. The' warrants were taken out on the affidavits of four Italians who escaped from the pen in which they had been housed. The affidavits allega that they had been imported and put to work in the rock fields, being fre? quently beaten and receiving no re? muneration for their work. Scandini, the boss, and his guards say that the men were simply working out the cost of their expenses and would have been paid for their services later. The preliminary will probably be held. Monday. Two well known young Charleston ians are dead, Dr. W. H. Prioleau, Jr., and Edward Shubrick Hayne. Dr. Prioleau was in failing health for sev? eral years and his death was not un? expected. He practiced in New York after "graduating from the South Car? olina Medical college, achieving dis? tinction, but was "forced to return south on account of his health, prac? ticing in Summerville and later ii. Asheville, N. C., in both places build? ing up a large and lucrative practice in (a short time. Mr. Hayne recently left Charleston to engag in business in Yazoo City, Miss., dying after a brief illness of pneumonia. It is a coin? cidence that his brother died in th? same city a couple of years ago. A young negro, Arthur Paine, was shot and killed Wednesday night in Orangeburg. The negro who did the shooting was a stranger in Orangeburg and immediately after the shooting he got away. It is said that the shooting was the result of a dispute in a negro pool room of the city.

Busybodies Who Are Even Interfering With Things That Do Not Con? cern Them-Complain That White Settlers Will Drive Out the Negroes. By W\ H. McCaw. Columbia. Jan. 5.-Inquiries that have recently been received at the governor's office from northern mag? azine and newspaper publishers in? dicate a fear on the part of that sec? tion of the country that the new move? ment that has been inaugurated to bring immigrants to tba south to de? velop its agricultural and industrial resources and incidentally to solve- the negro question, will result in-flooding this section of the country with ah un? desirable class of foreigners and in the end do more harm than good. Thl3 state has nothing to fear along this line inasmuch as the law which the legislature last year passed establish? ing the bureau of agriculture and im? migration requires that preference of the Latin races, such as Italians and the like, several colonies of which Im? migration Commissioner Watson has already refused. Commissioner Wat? son, therefore, has no, fear of the out? come of the recent conf?rence* held in Washington for the purpose of divert? ing southward the tide of immigration that has been flowf?g into the con? gested northern centres. But in his opinion other states which are neg? lecting to establish similar bureaus are jeopordizing their safety in this respect. Having a bureau this state is in a position to protect itself through the. federal immigration laws. Commissioner Watson has had much trouble from time to time get ting^desirable farm laborers satisfac? torily established in this state, because of the cheap negro labor, but a num? ber of good white farm hands, have been placed, generally as superin? tendents or overseers, at from* $15 to $30 a month and board. His efforts have been to place the agricultural immigrants on small farms of their own sold to them on reasonable terms; those who have gone out td hire have been given places that would not throw then in direct competition and association with the negro. A few have become dissatisfied and returned to the north. Mr. A. R. Stewart, who has just re turned fo Columbia from an extended visit to his old home in Scotland, in conversation with your correspondent Oday expressed surprised at. how well/ known 'abroad . the movement for im? migration to the south ' already be? come. He heard about it and was ask? ed for particulars by prospective^ im? migrants or those who had. sons al? ready in this country, at Glascow, Liv-, erpool Edinburg and the Highlands of Scotland. At these points, delegations waited on him and eagerly plied him with questions in search of details. "Those people opened their eyes in wonder," said Mr. Stewart, when I explained to them how we made four crops a year down here. They were then gathering turnips in six inches of snow in Scotland, and some of their ' sons had written back of their dissat- i isfaction with the rigorous ' climate j they had come in contact with In the northwest! "The transportation people have been advertising the northwest abroad for many years and those people have airead heard of the south. They told me they had an idea that there was nothing in the south much but rich planters and negroes. "Anoher thing-?gainst the south for immigrants from" that portion of Eu? rope is that those people are kind of foolish about the English flag; when they cometo America they prefer Can? ada or those portions of the Unite J States near Canada." The work of the South Carolina im? migration bureau the coming year will be concentrated almost entirely in ef? forts to bring desirable farmers here from the hard climates of the north? west, where lands are high and scare. Applications :*or positions in the en? grossing department of the legislature are still coming in, which evidences that there is no abatement in the fever? ish appetite for public jobs. Although there are only sixteen positions to be filled, and most o? these will be given to those who held places in the de? partment last year there are already on file over 300 applications glowing with eloquent delineations of the qual? ifications of those . who would serve their country in the handwriting lin?, and over a thousond letters have been received recommending these various applicants. Although the fact that the board o? railroad commissioners will today se? lect a stenographer at $4.00 per, has been regarded as practically a secret, already half a dozen applicants from various pa.ts of the state have devel? oped a red hot campaign for the posi? tion, and the wire pulling that is goinpr on has that usually exercised in a leg? islative election stung to death when it come to strenuosity.
