The Press and Banner Bv W, W, and W, R, Bradley. 1 HUGH WILSON, Editor. ' ahujl:v?. u. i-Pabllshed every Wednesday at 82 a year Id advance. Wednesday, Jan. 29,1908. Immigration. i Senator Tillman delivered an address In the State House last Thursday night onlm- I WP migration. Senator Tillman, like the late Mr. Calhoun, has a hobby. Calhoun's hobby i nearly always bore directly or Indirectly to slavery. Tillman's bobby Is the cultivation i of race antagonism. < All admit that Calhoun was able and hon- < est, but the cause for which be contended wjntdown. Tillman Is fully as able and equally as honest, and Is perhaps more aggressive than was UttlUUUUt A ILUU OIUUO Tf III TT-W.uvi ? better fate awaits Tillman and bis pel scheme, than that which came to Callifcun't* With much that Tillmann says all Soutb Carolinians mast agree. It is certain that Booth Carolina could furnish homes to thousands of other citizens, and it is equally certain that we need the kind which TlllmaD described in his speech In Columbia. We need home seekers, not mere hewers of wood and drawers of water. Laborers can do better in the newer Slates where labor Is scarce and high, and where there are fewer of the luxuries, and not so many of the necessaries for comfortable living?where there are fewer ol the comforts of life, and where there are fewer ol the blessings of civilization. But home-seekers, who can buy land and cultivate the soil will find this the best part of the United States, Good land, the best money crop in the world, good water, good health, good schools, many churches, plenty of peaceable and vlrtaous neighbors, all go to offer inducements to the best of home* seekers, and tbose who would not wish to carry their families Into unknown lands among the wilder and more, uncertain citizenship. Mr. Tillman dwells much on the race Issue, and sees spooks in every highway. While agreeing with him most thoroughly in the desirability of having amongst ns more men of the white race, we do so, not from fear ol negro denomination. The white race Is able to take care of itself, and will do so for all time to come, even as it has done in the past. We do not agree with Mr. Tillman In his reason for urging the presence of the white men. We think the better way for white men to do 1b to get ab many others to oome as possl__ ble, and then treat the negro fairly in all dealings wlta Dim. And do bo Id such a way as not to encourage race antagonisms. It Is better for all that each should live Id peaoe and Bleep In security. Even 1( South Carolina had a majority of whlteB, the negroes In the South would hold the balance, as they do In some of the Eastern Statee. And as the negroes ol the South become more educated they will become strong er and more assertive. One difference between the whites and the blacks is everywhere In evldenoe. No blacks expend their energy In educating their children, while being lees careful than they should be about their morals. On the other hand, the great aDd chief aim of every white mother is to preserve the morals and character of hor children. Iu her mind, morality and respectability Is the crowDlDg glory of womanhood, even If education is neglected. On the one handed Is blunted morals, with a keen desire for education. un me other Hand, parity of morals, with some negleot of education. Another difference Is In the borne life. The negro, In many Instances, will crovd tbe whole family Into less living room than that In which the average white citizen would Imprison an equal number of pigs. The UvlDg and the sleeping together like cattle or In the manner of swine has a tendency to produce like characteristic^ in human beings. On tbe other band, the average white man Is ambitious for the good opinion of his white neighbor, and desires to live in tbe beat house attainable. Tbe living In good houses, where the sexes and the different ages of the family are separated into different living or sleeping rooms has an elevating tendency and encourages the mother in greater effort to preserve her Jewels in purity and | honor?to be shining examples in the Christian character. It is our opinion that Mr. Tillman, Instead of exciting race prejudloe and race hatred, would serve his country better, if be sought to allay ill-feelings on either side. There is no 1 occasion for the well behaved white man to oe airaid of tne well treated negro. It would be better for our people not to oppress the negro too much, and it would ba better for him, if he cultivated a good feeling for bis white neighbor. If we separate much further, the danger is, that Congress, instead of giving us a wider reign, may Itself Interfere In behalf of the negro, and put a further restraining hand upon the South. That there is much sympathy in the North for the negro Is evidenced by tbe large sums which the people raise by voluntary contributions for negro education in the South. As an evidence that they have little sympathy for their poor and struggling white brethren it is only necessary to point to their total lack ol Interest in our needy neighbors of tbe white race. The fear is, that tbe country, instead of repealing objectionable laws, mav enact fnr. ther acd more oppressive legls'atlon.' The motto should be give the negro Justice la bis sphere and keep him In that sphere, < Showing Pictures. i The Atlanta Georgian . publishes alleged pictures of Mrs. Thaw, District Attorney Je romeand the slayer of Wbite as these persons appear today. To make the groupe compete, why not publish the present appear" anoft of the dead man as he lies mouldering In his grave? If Mrs. Tbaw and Jerome make a good picture, and if Mrs. Thaw and her husband make an interesting scene, why. not reproduce a likeness of the dramatic or murderous act when White became a corpse and when Thaw became ih? T* ?-w omjcu All" might be well enough to give us the whole]1 Bcene at one glanco. The idea ol the unwrlt- e ten law being a delense lor the slaylDg of a 8 man about a trifling woman should not be B entertained. If a wire is untrue to her hue- c band she is the proper one to suffer. Where is the husband who would live with his wife after be had slain a man because of her infidelity? -MM. g C Henry Watterson says Bryan, that la to j say, William Jennings Bryan. Is sure to be t tae Oeuaooratlc nominee when the conven- ( tion meets in July. He goes on further to v say that Governor Hughes of New York tba cnly man who could beal Bryan under the wire. Democrats everywhere, who will be glad to hear of his nomination, will thank the great editor for the luformailon. But wbat.will they think of his act in telling the Republicans who they Bhould nominate to e defeat him? u n Prohibition Is working well 4a.

The Lower House of the State Legislature roted to kill the Lien Liw hy an overwhelming mnjorlty. It Is said that the Sec- . ?te will alio vote to repeal It by a majorUy or ibout Ave votes. It developes from the meeting of the Farmers Union In Columbia that many of the representative farmer* desire the repeal of tbe law; and tbey have expressed that desire lu no unmistakable term p. It le uncertain wbere tbe patb of duty lies, between a representative's personal convictions, and tbe demands ol bis constituents, and when bis convictions and tbe publlo demand are In accord tbere can be no doubt as to bis dutyr W'bat is said herein, then, is not wltb tbe purpose of affecting the views of any representative, nor of changing the policy of the Farmers Union. Tbe Farmer's Union has had and will have the heartiest support from this paper, but tbe right Is reserved oi free and Independent expression of opinion. The repeal of the Lien Law destroys tbe sole basis of credit of four-dftbs of the,agrlo iltural people, while it takes the basis of credit from a majority of tbe white farmers. By making the poor white tenant dependent solely upoa the landlord, tbe tendenoy *111 bo towurd prevailing conditions in Eng- . mnd wbere tbe tenant is virtually bought *nd sold with the land. J?or is tbe .prosper- 1 dus landlord greatly benefitted thereby. VVhfifft 1 hfl mflrohanr. nnw hurirrla h 1 a tmcu\u ind enables the farmer to get bis root absolutely without risk, under the changed oonlltlons, the farmer must go to tbe bank and :oad himself down with debt, with all the chances of bad orops, and this debt must be paid before be gets bis rent. Tbe wealthy farmer, whose credit Is good it tbe bank and at the stores, will have the selecting of tbe best bands, while tbe middle class farmer, who can hardly stand alone, *111 go without hands or get tbe refuse after big guns have loaded up. The still poorer white farmer, with bis bands tied, stands shivering at tbe gate of his wealthy neighbor until that neighbor has passed the word up to the merchant or banker that tae will stand for him. Independence to tbe smfeli "White tarmer Is worth more than a paltry amount of Interest raved. Several cottoD States have no lieu law; South Carollna taM. lt Is asserted tba^ otir lands are going to the bow-wows; and $et South Carolina produces more ootton lb* proportion to Its area than any State lu the Union, and that too, wltb hundreds of ibousiuds of acres'of ber land lh swamp and uncultivated. And this Is true, despite the fact that there are more cotton mill operatives who have been drawn from tbe ootton fields tba'n in any State In tbe South. More than 33,000 white people have'left the farmp.for tbe factories, and none have come In to take (.heir places in the fields. As undesirable as It may be to have tbe places filled by negroes, It Is negro or nobody. . ir tbe Idea Is to oontrol the negro, It Is an idle proposition. We can not legislate to his detriment, when his labor la in suob. ^reat demand. It is a two sided proposition. While be Is dependant on ub for supplies, if things don't suit him wltt^ one laafl lord there are plenty of others ^anxious for bis labor. t ,v Tbe people bad better pause and think. This State is doing well, and all tbe talk about doing better is mere speoalatlon; we might do worse. The Court House aud City Hull.' Tbe work on these two pnbllo bull dings progresses with tbe passing weeks,.and tbe walls go higher every day. . ; *v Tbe work goes on almost like the building of Solomon's temple?without tbe sound of saw or hammer. Tbe hewed stones In Solo mon's temple and the prepared timber were shipped In from a distance. In like manner tbe stones for our new buildings were quarried In distant states, the brloks came In from ibe country, tbe Irons are assembled from distant foandarlee, and the timbers have been manipulated In other forests and la other shops. And so It Is tbe temple which King David was not allowed to balld because of tbe fact that he had Jjlood on hts hands, wfts built by his son Solomon, who brought (the material from abroad.

A HEALTHY MAN. ( i l_ Here Are the Point* That Go to Make a Centenarian. .r Here are tho points of a healthy man. 11 you have them all you may, barring i accidents, count on being a centenarian. f If you have most of them, you'll reach a B ripe old age, but even if you have only a * few don't be alarmed, for many apparent' ly crazy human machines last a surprisingly long time. '* First, your body and limbs should be !l plump, but the plumpness should be of 5 the firm and muscular, not the fleshy type. *' Your figure ought to be erect, and, whether you are tall or short, well proportioned. 1 Length without breadth is a very bad "* thing in a man, for thero is no room for b vital organs large enough to thoroughly f perform their duties. Ir Your step should be springy and elastic, 7 your gait firm and easy. These things in0 -dicate muscles of g'ood quality and nerve of good tone. Your eye should be bright n and neither prominent nor hollow. Bright " eyes show that tho circulation of blood in ? tho brain is good. i- Your complexion should be clear and > fresh. It is usually not well with you i? when your face is pale, sallow, florid or s- subject to sudden flushings. But Jn this 0 matter your occupation has great influ1 ence, and you might have the worst possiii ble complexion and bo in perfect health. But that, of course, is tho exception, not Iia mila I- suu J. IUU. i- Your head should not bo very largo, or g at least if it is large your neck, shoulder* :g and chest ought to correspond in sizo. If ,o you feel your pulse, it shauld be regular; if it drops a beat now and again or beats very fast and excitedly after the least exertion or emotion then tho heart is weak ?
