The Immigration Fe
Breaks Out Aboi
Years, Scaring the
' Ghost.
Hon. Wyatt Aiken and Hon. Isaa
H. McCaula, candidates for Congre9i
spoke in the Court House last Frida
morning. This editor was busy witl
the most importaut problem now* b<
fore the American people, that is t
say, the preparation of a hall for th
Knights of Pythias, and he did not a!
tomi the meeting. For thi9 reason ou
mind is not well stored with the iates
and best information on the subject o
the immigration of foreigners to thi
land of cotton.
But we presume the decision of th
old question of immigration stauds o
falls on the merits or the demerits, a
presented in solid facts or as may b
pictured in the fanciful imagination.
We understand from other source
than the speakers that a small tempes
I has been raised in a small tea pot b;
this recent proposition to induce im
migrants to come South Carolina.
| " the stars, or other heavenly bod
[ ies ny off into space, so a foreigue
who has lost his wajr, may land ii
South Carolina, where be always findi
aheartv welcome to the country am
to the homes which we all love si
well. There Is, for instance, MaJ
|. Below, Nicholas Schram, E. C. Mes
chine, Ed Kei6er, J. W. Breihahn, D
Poliakoff, and many others who flev
out into space, and by some accident
| landed with us. They are as goo(
people as we. could find. Mr. Mes
chine was well off* in this world'i
goods when he came amongst us,. L>u
the others came without money
Like brave and worthy men, they se
to work in their adopted country t<
carve out their own fortunes, and thei
are succeeding. All are prospering
Some are already rich. And if yoi
wiil trace your own record bad
you will find that immigrants are i
valuable accession. So we welcomi
immigrants. They do good for us atx
the country, while they themselvei
grow rich and prosporous. The Lori
rtM AKrom tn crat himuplf out O
the land of his nativity, and he wen
to a new country, and in his nev
home he prospered. The advici
which the Lord gave to Abram stand:
good for the people of today. And al
who come this way will learn to lovi
us and they will become loyal to tin
country which offers superior advan
tages, or better opportunities for tLn
educated mind and the traiued hand
As we understand the situation
there is a diversity of opinion on thi
immigration business. The senti
ment in favor of shipping car loads o
assorted lots of foreigners to till ou
fields, like the measels, breaks ou
about every ten years. And, as ii
case of the measles, the same persoi
seldom suffers from a second attacl
of the immigration fever. While th
immigration fever is seldom or ueve
attended with serious results, yet it i
a good thing with which to en'ertaii
the inexperienced. The peculiarit;
of the immigration fever is the diftei
ent effect it has on the patient frou
that exercised over the ciiizen wh
stands in fear and trembling at tb
mighty results tbat may follow*. Th
timid citizen sees in immigration tb
destruction of his best iuterests, whil
the hopeful citizen pictures in a vivi
imagination the most glorious r<
suits.
But the immigration fever?agai
like measles?proves to be neithe
glorious nor disastrous. The fon
mother who saw in her gloom and Lt
despondency half a dozen little grave:
all filled with children which the grit
monstej had gathered from her ow
fireside, finds that measles is not fat:
and that those who escape the malad
. are no better nor any worse than tbo;
who had an accute attack of thedrea*
ed disease.
So it is with immigration. Tb
immigration business is positivel

If our Commissioner were anxious I
have immigrants come to South Can
lyia, he could not get them, and shoul
not get them. While there may I
individual instances where he coul
honestly and in good faith ask imm
grants to come to South Carolina, yi
when he tells working people that tl
farmers in South Carolina can hi;
an able bodied man to work the
farms for $S a month, will th
foreigner come here when he can g
$25 a month for his labor in anoth
State?
The idea of ahipping farm labore
to this country by car load lots is n
to be seriously entertained.
Any idea that foreigners are comii
he re to take the place of farm hanc
or that they may possibly come for tl
purpose of taking the place of cotti
mill operatives is too preposterous
be seriously considered by anybody.
So certain are we that no mill op<
iF FOREIGNERS. ]
ver Like the Measles (
it Once in Every Ten
Ignorant by a Harmless
c ative will loss bis job because of any
i, influx of foreigners, we ask the first
y operative who should be so unforh
unate as to lose his job to notify us by
telegraph at our expense. Ou the o:
o other hand, we will, if he sticks to his SJ
e business and becomes more etticient,
promise either a raise in his wages or at
r a promotion to a higher place. tl
t The excitement on the immigration la
if business reminds us of a debating so- J
s ciety which discussed this question :
"Is it wrong to cheat a lawyer?" tl
e After able and learned arguments ?
r on both sides, the judges decided : ^
s "It is not wrong, but you can't do E
P it." U!
Immigration may be right or it may w.
s j be wrong, but you can't do it. * JJ,

y A in line me > (n for Picnics. j
During these days of picnics and
barbacues when the pleasure seekers &<
are at a loss to know what to do with ^
r themselves; when they sit around in a(
I buggies and whip the tops from grass re
8 and weeds or squat at the roots of hi
i oaks and dig holes in the sand; when ^
they walk to the well or spring and jc
t drink water whether they want it or di
- not and march back again wondering ^
if it is not the longest day since Josh
>* ua made the sun stand still, on such
i occasions it would not be amiss to tc
have some kind of entertainment to si
- while away the time. Here is a clipping
from C. S. A. in the Adversing
t World, giving a few ways to interest a je
party of picnicers: "
t For the first, the requisites are an jD
3 elevated platform not less than 12 feet
, square, a large red apple, half a dozen tjpairs
of roller skates and half a dozen 8C
boys (contestants.) An upright scant- js
II ing is erected at each of two opposite ja
i sides of the platform to the height of p|
i ' ai least 1- ieer, ana a norizontai crosspiece
allixed to the tops thereof. A
e stout hempen twiue is passed through ?]
1 the core of the apple and knotted, and j0
s the apple is then suspended from the fi
j crosspiece so that it hangs at about gi
the level of a boy's nose?not his jr
mouth. The contestants are mounted ()j
t on skates, their hands tied behind f
7 their backs, and the prize goes to the fr
e boy Who first succeeds iu getting a c{
_ bite out of the apple. It may be well n
s to surround the platform with a low c
1 railing to keep the kids from tumbling 0|
b off.
e Perhaps the foregoing doesn't sound fe
funny in the reading, but iu practice w
' it is about as funny a contest as can be ar
e imagined. ct
The other contest is an obstacle race, th
in which every contestant must pass jU
' under, over, through, around, across, 9j,
Hior between such hindrances and diffi- '
- culties as may be devised. These hin- cj
f drances may be of auy nature short
of insuperable obstacles. Several are pt
suggested here ia
1 Froru a high "trestle" like those w
j used by carpenters suspend a small, at
3 stout barrel minus both heads, in such 0{
a way that it will swing freely in all
* directions. It should be at a height 3C
e about midway between the waist and 0|
i shoulders of the average man. Each f0
^ racer must go through the barrel, x
[ t well to have about two of these. tl
J Fix a plank about a foot wide and ti
Y t wo inches thick about eight or nine ge
- inches from the ground, so firmly that
a it cannot be raised up when the con- 01
testanta try to crawl under it. w
n With each end resting on a trestle tl
e five or six feet high, place a slender
e sapling lengthwise of the course, and p
e require each contestant to "coon" the u
length of it?and the longer the better, tl
e If it sways and bends, that helps the L
tl sport.
?- Set up two parallel 2x4's narrow g
edge up. on posts three or four feet d
high, and not more than ten inches p
B apart. Place croquet balls at inter- h
'f vals along these rail, opposite each n
d other. The contestants must pass be- n
,r tween the rails without knocking off o
any of the balls. If any are knocked I
s- of!', the knocker must replace them p
n and start through again. o
h A high-barred gate may be erected,
. thp hnr? nf whinh ara rnnnd arirl
smooth and turn readily in their
y sockets in the side piece. The gate
?e ought to be at least eight feet bigh. r<
J. The racers must climb up one side d
and down the other. c
As the promoter gets to studying the y
is matter, other ingenious obstacles will
v occur to him, and the race may be u
made to provide an immense lot of t
amusemeut for a large crowd. t

Mr. Editor : At Carswell iDStitu
n the 10th instant I found ill conve
ition with different persons that pu
osely or unwittingly the public hi
sen given a wholly incorrect unde
andingof the scope and purposes <
leactof the legislature, passed at i
,st session, creating the department <
jriculture, commerce and immigrj
on.
The idea has gaiued currency th?
le purpose of that act is to flood th
tate with foreign pauper labor. ' A
le caadidate said, ''the riff-raff <
ussia," as another.said, "the scum (
;urope." That this cheap labor wi
3urp the place of the farm laborer an
ill drive the mill hands out of en
loyment. Whether consciously c
consciously, thoBe who are teachin
icq views are deceiving and misleai
ig the people as to the purpose of the
gidation.
The law if? found on page 449 of th
;ts of 1904. The followiug extra(
om Section G of that act shows wilt
Jt any sort of doubt what it was er
;ted to accomplish, and completel
ifutes the misleading statements ttu
ave been made and are being made
"To promote agriculture, mannfa<
irlng and other industries, cattle raif
ig and all matters leading to the ir
jstrial development of the State, wit
la collection and publication of info
lation in regard to localities, charm
sr, accessibility, C09ti?ud mode of util
uion of 901IS, ana more specuncaii
the inducement of capital and d<
rable immigration by the dissemm
ation of information relalive to the a<
antages of soil and climate.
There is a clear statement of the ol
cts to be attained and the method
Y which they are to be accompllshec
iz.: to induce capital and desirabl
immigration, not " riff raff" an
scum," by displaying to the world
le incomparable advantages and rc
urces of our State, of which the worli
at present uninformed because of
ck of judicious and extensive e>
oitatiou by us of these resources.
Now as to the character and clans c
amigrauts to be brought in Sectioi
L of the act is specific. It is as fo
ws: " That immigrants shall be cot
lied to white citizens of the Unite
lates, citizens of Ireland, Scotlani
ngland, Switzerland, France an
her foreigners of Saxou origin,
hat is, of the same origin a9 thos
om whom we are descended, and wh
ime to America as emigrants. Th

tese and th.se alone are sought to b(
duced to come here, and no provi
du is made by 'he act Jo pay them j
bonus " to come, as has' been widel;
rculated.
Mr. Editor, those who are giving th
?ople the wrong construction of thi
w are " sowing the wind to reap th
hirlwind." I have an abiding fait!
id belief in the good common sens
our people. As Mr. Lincoln said
You may fool some of ttie peopi
me of the time, you may fool som
' tbe people all the time, but you can
iol all of the people all of the time,
hey will look into this matter fc
lemselves, and fiinding that the

aey have presumed tnat we are to
jnorant to find out the truth and hav
layed upon our credulity. We wi
ot stand for that. If the second, the
ley are not competent to represent ui
.et them day at home."
Now, Mr. Editor, I have no axe 1
rind in this matter. I am not a cai
idate for any office; but I have
ride to see my country, one of tb

Anderson Daily Mail.
We are beginning to believe the
newspaper of the State are losing their
inflnence upon the people by their violent
and intemperate utterances upon
JC public questions. People can be led
into almost anything, bftt they cannot
be driven.
We have in mind the manner in
which some newspapers have condemned
tbe people for the crime of
lynching. We have no sympathy, of
course, with "mob law" save in one
instance, and in that the proof must
ly always be clear and unmistakable.
But, while we cannot sympathize
with the lynchers, will it do any good
to condemn them bo unqualifiedly, to
hold them to public scorn? Can ,
( not the newspapers stand for law and
order more effectually by some other
method? i
~ Juries fail to convict criminals of <
* crime. We all know this and all de- i
f plore it. But does it do any good to i
L advertise our shortcomings, the errors
and faults of our courts and ju- |
riee, to the outside world?and to our i
selves? i
t Cannot the newspapers find instan- |
ces of where the law has been upheld,
1 where justice has triumphed over <
wrong, and right over might, and tell j
f the people about these things, rather i
,, than naint forever the dark side of the <
picture?
A people or a community are not i
' likely to have a very high regard for the
majesty of the law after they have been
I denounced as outlaws, cuthroats, fiends,
I etc.
Of course, when wrongs are commite
ted the newspapers must speak out
with no uncertain sound. But are
J. they not going too far with their bit- <
" ternees and vituperation ? Are they not
v doing harm where they are trying to
do good? Are they not adding feul to
the flames rather than helping to i
quench them?
J. And In losing their influence in this ]
j. one particular are the newspapers not i
^ losing their influence in other directions?
i
c" These are unpleasant reflections but ,
they are forced upon us by recent events.
Newspapers have denounced j
^ lynchings and lynchers in the most j
j* bitter terms, have denounced juries i
j" and jurors for failures to convict in ,
language as harsh as can be found in
} the dictionaries. And yet lynching
8 continue anu juries are uu ueitor tuau i
I they have been for years. i
g A duty cannot be shirked. No hon- ,
j est newspaper can afford to temporize j
ormake terms with wrong. But cani
not we editors who want to be leaders;
j of public opinion and who ought to be
a leaders of public opion in fact as well j
as theory?can we not find some better ,
and more efficient mannerof discharg(f
iQg our duty than we have been practica
iQg? i
I. If evils exist, if wrongs are commited ]
?as surely they are?can we not din* j
j cuss them in calmness and reason, and j
I point the better way by appealing to ]
(j men's better judgement and better nat- ]
? ures rather than inveigh against the ?
ie wrong and comdemn the wrong doer j
0 to everlasting damnation without a
e hearing? Can we exert a good ind
fluenceupon the public after we anger
s the public, hold it up to scorn and ridicule,
and declare it to be wholly bad
[. and depraved because in one unfortunate
moment some wrong thing was
' Hm.o? r
} The newspapers of the State can J
lead the people to better things by
j temperate methods, hut they cannot t
. drive them by standing off and hurl- c
a iug denunciations at them. That has I
y been tried time and time again, and it v
has never succeeded yet. Newspaper.*,
e while on the right side of public ques- j
s tion, have alienated the. people from j
e them and have lost their cause and a
h weakened influence besides by ine
temperate methods aud violent methI
ods. ?

AN HEIR IS BORN
TO RUSSIAN CZAR.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 15.?A son
and heir to the Russian throne has
been born. The empress and the
child are doing well. The accoucb*
raent occurred at 12.30 o'clock this
afternoon. The child will be christened
Alexis.
The announcement from Peterhof
was immediately followed by a salute
of 101 guns from the imperial yacht
lyinp at anchor off the palace, but it
was 2. 45 p. m. when the guns of St.
Peter and St. Paul fortress opposite
the winter palace here conveyed the
glad tidings to the people of the Russian
capital.
The effect was electrical. With the
boom of the first gun the people in the
3treets, who had been momentarily,
expecting the event for 24 hours
stopped to listen and count the guns.
Only 31 are fired for a girl. When
the thirtysecond one boomed and the
people were aware that at last an heir
to the throne was born there were
scenes of rejoicing everywhere and
before the salute was finished the
whole city had been blossomed out <
with flags and bunting and the shippi
ug in the harbor was dressed. Then
the bells of the churches began to ring
svildly. ,
The christening of the heir will
take place in a fortnight. It will be a
ceremony of the most elaborate sort, i
In accordance with Russian imperial ,
custom it will be performed in the
imperial chapel of the Peterhof palace,
credited with being the most magnificent
chapel in Russia.
The hearts of the Russian people
are likely to be more deeply touched
by the good fortune of the imperial
family than a dozen victories or defeats
iut the far east and the superstitious
Russian character will read iu
it an argury of a better time. St. :
Seraphim, who was canonized last
summer by the emperor at Saroff, has
now become a favorite patron saint
as the birth of the heir is attributed
chiefly to his interposition. The emperor
will signalize the event by some
gracious act, like the remission of i
arrearages of taxes and amnesty and
the next two weehs and until the i
christeuing there will be a holiday
and public fetes ofall kinds.
There is already a reviv.-1 of the
talk with the succession to the throne
assured the emperor will follow the
example of the house of Romanofl
and go to the front.
The heir's name will be Alexif
rsiKojaievitcn and it re reigns he
probably will assume the title of Alexis
II. The last Alexis was emperor
rfMoscovy, in 1645.
Berlin, Aug. 12.?The Kleine Jour- i
aal says it expect9 that the birth of an !
hieir in the Russian throne will be
followed in a few days by the proc- <
amation of a constitution, claiming to
save been informed that Emperor
Nicholas vowed he would give a con- <
stitution to Russia if the empress gave !
jirth to a son.

tian virtue, or recovers one fellowcreature
to God, builds a temple more precious
than Solomon's or St. Peter's
more enduring than earth or heaven.
