.. The Abbeville Press and Banner.| BY W. W. & W. E. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1904. ESTABLISHED 1844l|| SENATOR LATIMER ON IMMIGRATION. Gives his Views on a Subject Now Much Discussed. MATTER IS MISUNDERSTOOD, ' Discussion 4iI Public n Privilege to he Eseroisccl ami f* I>iity .Not to be Shirked." Senator A. C. Latimer came up from Belton yesterday and spent the day in the city with his friends. A great many people were in from the country in attendance upon the Farmers Movement and on business, and, as is always the case when Senator Latimer is in Anderson, lie was the center of crowds ; during theday. He discussed national and State politics iu his accustomed manner, and everything he said was J listened to with attention. Senator Latimer is very hopeful of democratic success this fall. He is a ' Strong advocate of Judge Parker, and 5? tlio vurv hpsr man that 11J1UA9 AO vwv ? . could have been nominated. He waia Parker man long before the conven- , tion met. ' The senator was seen during the day 1 by a reprosentative of the Daily Mail and was asked for an interview. "Well, what do you want me to talk ! about?" he replied. "Sup;>ose,"*said the newspaperman, ] "that you give your views on the imimmigratiou movement. This question seems to be discussed a great deal just now." ; "Well," replied the senator, delib- i erately, "you know I have never been I back ward about expressing my views. ? That is a privilege I will always exer- ' cise, and it is at the same time a duty < that I will never !-birk. But I do not < want to interfere in a campaign in 1 which I am not interested, and I d<> ' not want what I am going to say to be ? construed as being for or against an> ' candidates or set of candidates. It ' would not be right for me to interfere in any other race, and besides, that i.? < y a job that I would not .relish if the j way was open for me. "But, as you say, I am a public oili- ' cer, and a public servant, and it is my : duty as such to give information on ' /-..louti/Ani: mlmrovor if is in mv I puuiiv Vj U VC uvyjio ?? UV. W. ? power 10 do so, and I will willingly I comply with your request." 1 Senator Latimer tben dictated the i followiug iuterview- for the Daily Mail ' to a stenographer, and it is printed ' just as it fell from his lips: I "The subject of immigration is one ( that is attracting the attention of all of ! our people at this time, and is a subject that I feel sure is not thoroughly un- I derstood by the people. A man who 1 would make the argumeut. that the 1 'riff-raff and 'scum' of Europe are to 1 be dumped in upon our people in Au- ' derson county, or South Carolina, or any part of the United States, shows 1 his utter ignorance of the national law ' upon this subject. Congress and the 1 legislature Ot South Carolina have ' passed acts prohibiting the Chinese s from eoming to America, and also all < foreigners who are not Anglo-Saxons, 1 or who are not able to pay their expen- ' ses in coming to this country, and who have not sufficient means to prevent ! their becominga tax upon the people. All foreigners ?vho come here must : have a knowledge of our language or of our institutions, and our form ol < government, ana oe ao:e to aeiuou- f etrate to the Americari irnmigration 1 commissioner the fact that they are lit 1 to make American citizens. The law 1 is very strict iu its provision against ( aiding foreigners in coming to Ameri- 1 ica; iu other words, there is a heav.y ptnalty agaiust corporations or inditi 1 uals furnishing money to pay the trans 1 portation and expenses of those who desire to come into this country. So 1 this national law prevents the rifl-rafl < of Europe from entering upon Atuercan soil. I speak with some authority for I am a member of the committee 1 on immigration in the senate. " In my judgment, the only hope, undtr the threatening situation, to preserve our representation in congress and in the Electoral College, is to increase the white population of tin 1 South. Although Mr. Cruinpackei ; has been trying tor four years to have his bill for the reduction of our repre sentation in congress considered, the leaders of the republican party have strenuously opposed its consideration. The president's attitude on this subject, ; forcing the plank in the national republican platform over the opposition of most of the republican leaders demontsrates to my mind, that if the republicans are elected in the present 1 i U'nilWl UUI IC|/lCOClItailV'u 1U w/n^irocj will be reduced in proportion to the disfranchised vote of the South. In a word, we have in South Carolina 140. 000 negroes of voting age, or between 700,000 and S<)0,000 negro poputatiou, upon which we now have representation in congress aud the Electoral College. If our representation be based upon the actual voting strength of our people, as is proposed in the Crumpacker or Roosevelt plan, out of the seven members of congress that we now have we will lose at least three representatives from this State, and the representatives in the Electoral College will be reduced in the same proportion, thus destorying our voice and vote in the house of representatives Electoral College to one-half of what it now is. If this reduction is accomplished there are but two ways, in my judgment, to restore our influence in congress and the national election. One is to restore the ballot to the negroes of the South. This we as a people, can never consent to. The other is to import or encourage white im I migrants to come into our miast. ruts policy I am heartily in favor of for the following reasons: ; " First, we can replace our thriftless negro population that can never be assimilated by white races, nor who will never make American citizens, in the true acceptation of this term, and who are gradually every year growing worse | and harder to manage, with a white ; population of thrifty people, who will ' aid us in building up our land, diversifying our crops, and who will not come in competition with us in the; products of the farm, us they will j largely be interested in the raising of j cattle and other crops besides cotton. This class of people in our tnidst will aid iii building good schools, support ins; our churches, building good roads and making our Southland prosperous like other sections of the Unio?. "The negro has been a curse on tlx South since his arrival from Africa and will remain so as long as he pre dominates in numbers as at present." "The tendency of all our immigration laws, both State and national, is t?i keep out the kind of immigrants that our people seem to dread. In fact it is practically impossible for them to come in under any 'circumstaces. The object of these laws is to provide for the inspection of people who come from other countries to America, and if they are found to be unsound or unsatisfactory in any way to keep them from lauding. Everybody admits that we need the right kind of people, aud as the laws prevent the wrong kind of people from coming iu any more there is nothing for anybody to be so alarmed over. "The impression that seems to exist in the minds of a great many people is \-ery harmful, and if I have been able to say anything to correct this wrong imnrpwimi T consider that I have done no more than my duty. I ?m sure tliat as soou as the people refiect over the matter, and study it and understand it, they will see the error that so many of them have been led into. Our people _'an always he depended on to be right and do right whenever the facts are placed before them." SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE, Expansion of Its Work and Its Splendid Facilities. For three generations of men the South Carolina College has wrought its great work for the unification and prosperity of the State. For three generations her sons have honored their dma mater by useful lives aud splenlid citizenship, and to-riay, in the character and strength of the members of its faculty, and in the variety ind thoroughness of its literary, scientific, and law courses, it stands eminent; in the quality of its work it is :he peer of any university of the South. A variety of courses leading to the several baccalaureate degrees in Arts, Science, Law, Engineering (Civil aod Electrical,) and Pedagogy, is ottered, tvith the most liberal choice of studies md the widest possible elective opportunity. The faculty has recently enlarged aud increased the facilities for jost-trraduate work, and has placed :he opportunity for such advanced jniversity study within reach of all ivho may desire it, and who cannot go >ut of the State to obtain it. Every year tbe College has a number of stuJents working for post graduate dee scholar-hips are not accepting charity, but ire simply being partly paid in advance for the hard work, the self-sacritice, the grind to which they subject then selves for the good of the State. The teaching force of the faculty uumbers seventeen professors adjunct profesM>rs, and instructors, each of whom is a specialist in his own department, and has enjoyed the linest advantages offered in the trreat universities of this country or Europe. The president, faculty, and students are working together harmoniously and lis a unit for the good of the College. On the 12th day of last March Prof. 11. Means Davis, Professor of History and Political Science, the ureat teacher, the big-hearted man, the model citizen died. His loss to the College and to the State is incalculable. At its meeting in June the Board of Trustees elected as his successor Frof. Gordon B. Moore, a Virginian by birth and a South Carolinian by years of service rroiees'ir Jioore is a genuemau ana a scholar, a man of high character, of great mental strength and vigor, and of long experience in successful teaching. He also has a worthy reputation as a great Baptist preacher. The Chair of Adjunct Professor of English has also been establised, and Mr. H. C. Davis, a South Carolinian and a gaaduate of the South Carolina College, and last sessson a teacher of English in the University of Washington. at Seattle, \va3 in June elected to (ill this chair. The College is to be congratulated upon securing his services. His success as a teacher is assured. The advantages offered to the young men of the State by such an institution are invaluable. Let no future things disturb thee, for thou wilt come to them if it shall be necessary, having with thee the same reason which now thou usest for present things. There is no self-complacency in feeling ourselves in harmony with the divine, for the more you feel so the more you ieei inai 11 is uou inai woiketh in you to will ami to do ol His good pleasure. It is well to tread in the steps of thost who have gone the riuht way before us, It is even better to tread in a way thai will lead others aright, as they are inHue need by us. It is worth realizing that there is in thing as commonplace life or uninter esting circumstances. They are so on I ly because we do not see into them, d< not know them. I ; MR. LEWIS W. PARKER ON MILL SITUATION ; Discusses Several Phases in In ; teresting Way. CONDITIONS IMPROVING. Denies lie Might Import Knll Rivet on Foroit;n Help?S?*yn Help Here Bent In tlie World. Columbia State, 21at. Mr. Lewis W. Parker, president ol four cotton mills here and head of several other mills iu the up-country, talked freely and in an interesting way yesterday to a representative of The State concerning the cotton mill situation aud the prospects for the coming season. "I do not think," said Mr. Parker, "that there is an excess of production in the same sense that there is any considerable accumulation of goods. At the same time, buyers of cotton goods have become impressed with the thought that there is a large accumulation of goods aud have been indisposed to make purchases, believing that the large accumulation which they thought existed would have the effect of caus iug lower prices of goods. "The last season has been one of the mosi remarkable in the history of cotton manufacturing, and probably the most difficult to the manufacturer. In the last year cotton has advanced eight cents a pound, to fall again nearly a? much. Cotton goods for awhile responded in a measure to the advance in cotton, and considerable sales were made at prices seven and eigut csuts a pound above those now existing. The result is that, with the considerable fall in price which has occurred, buyera find themselves with more or less goods bought on a very high basis. In consequence for the last few months they have bsen pursuing strictly either a hand to mouth policy, or when buying in any quautity, have been, as the phrase is used, 'averaging downin other words, each purchase of goods is made simply with the view 0f reducing the price of goods previously purchased, and, by low purchasing, securing an average upon which it was hoped some profit could be made. "In certain lines there is now some improvement,and of heavier goods for export, considerable purchases have been made for fall delivery. In the meantime, pending this demaud for goods, it became very important to make public the curtailment in production being made hy the mills, in order to have the buyers appreciate the possibility of a short supply when de inanu muse. "I do not think the curtailment ha? been any hardship to the cotton mill employes, for there has been during the whole season more or less scarcity of help amongst the mills, so that all employes who desire work have been at all times able to secure it. At some mills the.employes have welcomed the temporary shut down as giving them a short rest. "No efl'ort has been made in most of the mills to change the wage scale at all, cansequent upon the low price of good9. In some communities where wages were unusually high as compared with the wage scale generally, reductions have been made to bring these communities to a parity with the general average, but a distinguishing feature of southern cotton mill work in contrast with that of Fall River is that the work is steady and the pay consequently constant. For many years Kail River and other eastern manu laUlUlIU^ uciJiic.i uavc utiu auciuait periods of production and shut down. No such conditions exist with the mills of this State, which, with few exceptions, have run constantly, though at times, of course, without profit. We have during the last month reduced our production to about threefourths of the normal production, but this has not been a disadvantage to the employees, for many have been aiven thereby an opportunity to rest, which was needed. We expect in a few weeks to again put the mills to full production. 'Personally, I anticipate a good season this fall. The cotton crop of this community, it seems to me, will be large, though the prices will be fairly high as contrasting with the prices existing prior to the last two years. "I am glad to say that all suits involvjug the mills have all been dismissed and satisfactory settlements made with all litigants. I see no reason why the mills of Columbia should not be successful if the mills in other communities in the State are." NO FOREIGN LABOR WANTED. "There is a report current that you are going to introduce foreign laboi into the mills here, and it is currently reported that you are about to bring 100 families from Fall River. Is thert any truth in this report?" '"None whatever. We regard oui employes, who are natives, as a rule, ol this community, as the best class ol cotton mill employes in the world. Wt certainly have no desire to displace them with any other character of help, and such a question has not even been considered by us. There is a greal contrast between the relations or tut . southern cotton mill corporations tc their help and that existing in Fall River add other eastern communities. 1 am glad to say that the relations between the employer and employee art generally most pleasant and free from friction. Even if there were no othei ' reasons, we should consider most care' fully before introducing help from Fall ' liiver or other such points. '"As a matter of fact, however, there is no desire on our part for such help, ; and there has not been the slightest ; effort, nor will there be, to secure it, We are satisfied with the people now I in our employ, and, as stated, regard them the best class of employes in tin , world." MR. l'ARKKR AN AUTHORITY. No man stands higher thau Mr. Par ker in the cotton mill world, as he po3 sesses the confidence of the manufac ) turers, the operatives and the publi* -!generglly in an eminent degree. H< -j has had unusual suiwess, and his opin ) i Ions are most valuable on all subject! pertaining to the ccuon mill business SIR. A IKE'S POSITION AS TO 1.11 MI ORATION. Mr. Editor: I have learned that tb< national immigration bill, and m; speech in support of it, are subjects o comment and some criticism in cer . tain sections of this district at this time Some of those who see "spooks" ii the bill claim that its purpose is t< bring in a foreign element who wouh compete with our mill people. A large proportion of Anderson's po pnlation is engaged in manufacturing They have made this county one o the first in the South, and they de serve in great measure the commen dation of the whole people. I am op posed unalterably to any measure de trimental to their interests, but in thi spirit of fairness we must first be con 7 vinced that such a measure isdetrimen . tal to their interests. Careful examination of both the bil and of my speech on immigration re . veals not one lice indicating a policj . which is in any sense detrimental t( ; the interests of mill people. Thewhoh tenor of my speech advocates the in troduction of farm laborers and farn owners, and that, too, in sections o country which are wasting away foi lack of sufficient intelligent white la bor to properly cultivate the soil. Th( i bill has no bearing on immigratior . further than to guard against the in I flux of worthless immigrants, and tc s provide a means of selecting the bes ; amongst those whom the U. S. govern . ment has already admitted. While th< measure is an excellent one, and coulc i result only in good in selecting a higt . class population to take the places o i those who have turned from farming i to the manufacturing field, still it doei ; not and cannot compel any State t< i take advantage of it that does not elec . to do so. In case a State should elec > to avail itself of the provisions of suet . a l?w the bill reauires that the U. S i government shall furnish the State'i ! agent with quarters and such informa > tion as will enable him to guard agains . worthless immigrants in his selections i The bill is iD every sense discrimina i tive and restrictive in its provision! i and narrows rather than widens tin doors to immigrants. The fact is, th< . good people who now operate our cot ) ton mills were once the main stay o t our farming population and in conse i quence of their change of occupatioi . farm lands are idle and unprofitable . In many sections of the State we an . advancing in manufacturing, but it i: ( too ofteu at the expense of declining agriculture. The necssity for whit ? immigrants is not so apparent in An derson county if indeed it exists at all > but Anderson county serves as a splen > did object lesson when it is compare* with other counties of the State whicl > have a thin white population. Ou . land is owned mainly by small whiti i farmers who look to its preservatioi . and upbuilding, and the consequenci . is it is three times as valuable commer cially as tnat ot counties ie?s mvuia i in the matter of white citizens. Woult any man in Anderson county say tha . the county would be more prosperou: if half our white population moved ou . of it? Would thi9 not oe considere< , an absurd proposition? Then it fol lows that a county that has less thai . half the white population per squari mile is just to that extent poorer am less prosperous than we are when 01 that population production depends , If Anderson county does not neec them you may be sure they will no . come here. f If you do not want then . they cannot occupy your lands. Yoi are not obliged to give them place, i Is it an open qusetion whether 01 not we need more white farmers ii Anderson county? If we do not which is by no means conceded, w< should not act the part of the udog ir the manger" and undertake to bloc! i the way for those counties which coulc . utilize to great advantage intelligen i Anglo-Saxon immigrants in convert iug barren waste into productiv* i fields. The Pill in question is best interpret J ! ~ i:?Uf T ho wo nraviniikj , etl 1 LI lilt? liguiui HUMl JL uu* V ly said on- the stump. The closes . scrutiny of my speech does not revea . a word advocatiug the introduction o , any people other than agriculturists. . The immigration Jaw of this Stat< provides (Sec. If) "that immigrant! shall be confined to white citizens o the United States, citizens of Ireland Scotlaud, Switzerland, Frauce and al other foreigners of Saxon origin." It will be seen, therefore, that th( i object of the act is to prevent any ex i cept the best people from coming here The bill provides for the selection o i worthy immigrants by an agent of thii State, and, of course, under tne restric . tions of the laws of this State, and doei . not, and necessarily could not, impos< i any regulations not sanctioned by ou: . own legislature and approved by ou; [ votes. But let us see if immigration doei not actually benefit in great measun our people engaged in manufacturing When production is adequate and wel i regulated mill people have steady em ployment twelve months in the year Mills cannot run regularly when th< ; supply of raw material is short, ant > the consequence is that thousands o hands must be idle. Then is not th< producer of raw material the besi f friend of manufacturing people 1 f Agriculture, like the roots of a tree ; gathers its substance from the soil anc : distrsbutes it through every branch o , industry. When it languishes depres i sion is felt in every nousenoiu, am t when it flourishes every department o : business Hourisbte with ii. The ag > riculturalist and the mill man wort [ in entirely different fields, they d< . not compete, but the best interests o . both depend npon a proper care of thi > interests of each. i The federal law, Section 2, of act ap proved March 3, 1903. expressly pro . liibits the importation of paupers and I persons likely to become a cliargi upon the public; it also expressly pro > liibits the admission of any immigrau! ( whose expenses are paid in whole o: in part by any other person unles , such other person is a relative already ' resident in this country. 1 A study of the congressional enact J ments on the subject of immigratioi shows that the purpose of national leg islation was first to restrict the num ber of immigrants, as in the Chiuesi exlcusion act, and later, not only ti restrict number, but to select the bes * class of immigrants by providing tha 2 paupers, etc, should not be brough i here, the latest act being that of 1903. One of the most serious blows aime< 3 at the South in recent years is thi - Crutnpacker bill, which provides for Pr< a reduction of the South'a representation in congress and in electing the T e president of the Uuited States. This tee P act is aimed to punish us for the dis- vill f franchisement of the negro. We can T - successfully fight this by bringing con . here desirable white voters; and this ma i is one of the causes of the awakening ma "> of the Southern statesmen to the im- bat I portance of this question. mei In conclusion, Mr. Editor, let me T1 say that I am in favor of everything edf th.it will build up this country, mor- tioi ally, educationally and financially. I A want to see the third congressional F district the mo9t populous, the richest, Wa the most progressive section of the S State; I want to see South Carolina Mil the most populous, the richest, the A most progressive State in the Union; Job I want, to see the South the most ma: powerful section of our country, and S 1 I want to see our country started at A.! - the forefront of the nations of the A r world.
