Tf there is one thine more foolish than
all tbe rest, 1Mb to talk about Importing!
choice foreigners to tbls country that they I
may become farm laborers. Labor Is cheaper
In tbe South an J more abundant than In any
other section of this country. Tbe tarm laborer
who may be fooled Into coming here
will soon find his way elsewhere. Our own
people are quitting tbe farms and flocking to
the towns. Tbe wages paid on tbe farm is far
below the figures which are paid by tbe great
Industrial and manafucturlng establishments.
Tbe man who Is dependant upon his musninnnn
Hiarwafl nf his labor to better advan
tage Id town.
In proof of this It Is only necessary to state
that the 80,000 cotton mill operatives now employed
In South Carolina quit the farm. Tbc
Railroads bava given good wages to bun
dreda and thousands. In all the industrial
enterprises are to be fonnd men who have
quit the farm In search of better pay for their
time and their services.
That there are hundreds of thousands of
acres now going to waste Is too apparent.
That, there la room and Inducement for tbe
Immigrant, If be baa a little money and some
executive abllfty, no one will deny. But
when onr people talk of bringing French,
Scotch and Irlab getlemen to tbe Soatb to
work for S7jto 810 a month, to eat dirt and go
naked while they are blacking our bootPf
they are simply talking through their bats.
If we understand wbat that expression meansa
Tbe revival of tbla talk about Immigrant*
reminds us of tbe time when some of our
good people tbongbt tbey would Bend off hdcJ
get Irish chambermaids.
Tbe negro would have to go. White sei
van ts were better. ,
Three of tbe Irish maids came one day on
tickets for which the money had been advanced.
Tbey went to three separate houses Id
town. No. 1 was assigned to a household
where there was sickness, and no time could
then be given to training her In her new du
ties. She was banished to tbe company
room to await orders. In tbe night she became
111, and In her sickness of stomach, sbe
threw her supper on the finest oarpet In tbe
house. Tbe bottle on tbe mantel ;board and
"i \ tbe smell of whiskey explained tbe trouble.
Sbe was sent home the next morning.
No. 2 went to work cheerfully in another
borne, and all seemed;well. Everything was
lovely until tbe mistress addressed the new
maid as "Bridget." Bridget stood this tbf
Hma nrlfhnnf *ODAntmPnt."Her lndlfiTDfi.*
tloD escaped all bounds at tbeseoond offense,
and she let,the mistress know her name wat
Mrs. O'Keefe, and that she would have do
more of Bridget In hers. Mrs. o'Keefe watpoaltlveon
this point,and she.would forbid
her employer from addressing her otherwise
than as Mrs. O'Keefe. Mrs. O'Keefe took the
train next morning.
No. 3 got along very nicely for three or four
days, when she became offended at some innocent
remark, and not only talked "sassy,"
but talked It lood. When her employer remonstrated
with her for tbe pitch of her voice,
she added that tbe neighbors would bear
rber. This exemplary maid simply pat her
Ik arms akimbo, and shaking her head, said,
W "What In tbe h?I do I care for the neighbors
?" She was furnlBbed transportation
day, and we have heard of her no more.
The Openings.
Tbe millinery stores were most beautifully
decorated last Tuesday and Wednesday
Prettier goods In a more graceful profusion
were never seen In thla city. Hats that were
pretty enoogh for tbe gods were here In sncb
variety and such numbers as to make sad tbe
bachelor's beart because be bad no one for
whom, to buy tbe best of earth's creations.
Tbe dresses and dress goods would have given
an added charm to the choicest aDgels that ,
ever appeared in the vision of tbe bachelors (
most rapturous dreams. A man with grown (
daughters mast be in ecstacy. ,
Bat besides headgear and tbe dresses and ,
other things that are nsed in nphoiBtering ?
and adorning the female form, there was an ,
other opening which sent ltsexhlbltSBtralitbt ,
to tbe spot whero they would do most good. {
We refer to tbe ooffee and Innch which those ,
wbolesooled and enterprising merchants, j
Messrs. L. T. & T. M. Miller handed out to
their friends on their opening days. Some of ,
the prettiest yonng ladles in town helped tbe ,
Messrs. Miller In receiving their friends at as ,
pretty a store as could be found in this part
of yoar Unole Sam's domain. Fretty store, ,
oolite olerks. Brood merchants and tbe best
men on earth Messrs. L. T. and ,T. M. Miller
will please every body that calls at tbelr
tore.

Tbe above expressions are In line with
what Henry Ward Beecber onoe said. In
nrglng young people to buy s home, among
Otber things. He said, tbat a man who owned
land was in partnership with God blmself.
If any body in all this land wantB to buy
a good bouse In Abbeville, and he takes tbe
money to pay for it, be mnst learn something
to hia advantage by applying to tbe Press
and Banner Office to learn from whom be
can buy a good bouse on a credit of from
sixty to one hundred years.
