TO CHECK IMMIGRATION.
Commission Urges Ute Restriction of
Importation of Unskilled Labor.
Washington, Dec. 9.-Sentimental
consideration in restricting immi
gration should be waived In lieu of
tho economic problems arising from
adverse effects on wages and living
conditions which the large number of
aliens have had In recent years by
their entry Into basic Industries, ac
cording to the final report of tho
Immigration commission transmitted
to Congress to-day. The commission
unanimously urges the restriction of
unskilled labor immigration.
The commission, created under the
immigration act of 1907, expired to
day and tho results of Its three-year
investigation into practically all
phases of the immigration question
make about forty printed volumes.
"Tho present immigration move-j
ment," says the report, "is in largo
measure due to economic causes, but
emigration I" .om Ku rope ls not an
absolute economic necessity, and as
a rule those who Immigrate to tho
United States are Impelled by a de
sire for better conditions rather than j
by tim necessity of escaping from in
tolerable ones. This fact should
largely modify the natural incentive
to treat the Immigration movement
f om the standpoint of sentiment and
permit its consideration primarily asl
an economic probkm."
The commission pi cseu ts for the
consideration of Congress several
proposals by which rest ric'ion of im
migration might be effected, includ
ing a rcadng and writing (est, the
exclusion ol' unmarried, unskilled
laborers, limitations in thc number
ai riving at any one pori, and from
particular races, as well as in the
amounts of money rou ul red to be in
their possession on arrival.
The Immigrants now coming, it is
agreed, do not furnish any more
criminals or subjects for charity than
the native born, but the tendency to
ward industrial and city life remains
unchanged in spite of the fact that
statistics show the Immigrants to
have been more successful in agri
cultural pursuits. In connection with
these findings, th<> report urges
that the division id' information in
the bureau of immigration be so con
ducted as to co-operate with the
States and various societies in a more
beneficial distribution of immigrants
among agricultural sections where
they aro especially needed.
Efforts to exclude all British Kast
Indians through an agreement with
Great Britain, the continuance of the
p osent Chinese exclusion laws as
well as present regulations with re
gard to Japanese and Korean immi
gration, the passage of the House bill
for the deportation of alien criminals
with changes In the immigration law
to make it applicable to alen seamen
and the appointment of an additional
assistant secretary of commerce and
labor to determine Immigration ap
peals, are specifically recommended.

COHN EXPOSITION SUCCESS.
Will (ionio to South Carolina Next
Year-A Corn Dinner.
(The State, 9th.)
The second South Atlantic States
Corn Exposition will he held in South
Carolina next year. This announce
ment was made yesterday hy the com
mission In charge of the exposition,
following a conference with the Co
lumba Chamber of Coniinorce. At
lanta was represented at tho meeting
and made a cash bid of $5,000 for the
exposition, whic.i was refused. There
was much discussion at tho meeting
as to whether to make the exposition
an all-Southern altair. The several
plans for the exposition wore dis
cussed, but nothing of a def?nate na
ture was decided, other than that the
exposition will be held again next
year In South Carolina.
W. W. Finley, president of tho
j Southern railway, after a visit to the
corn exposition, has the following to
say in a letter addressed to the Slate
Department of Agriculture:
"lt ls the most impressive thing
that 1 have seen in a long time, lt
marks what I believe to be the most
important development in Southern
agriculture since the invention of the
cotton gin led to the growing of cot
ton on a large scale.
"You and your associates In this
movement for raising the standard of
Southern corn and Increasing the
yield per acre are entitled to the
gratitude of every man interested in
Southern progress. 1 congratulate
you most sincerely."
"Queen Corn.*'
Dy acclamation of the several
thousand that have attended the ex
position, corn bas been proclaimed
"tineen of tho Southland," to go hatld
In-hnUd wit li "king cotton."
From every standpoint Ibo South
Atlantic States Corn Exposition bas
been much larger than was expected.
Over 1.000 people attended Ibo show
yesterday. Approximately $10,000
in prizes bas been awarded for the
best corn shown al tho exposition.
Farmers an attending from North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
Corn Dinner.
There was a dinner at Craven ball
yesterday thal was almost as much
an epoch making event as the corn
exposition. The dinner was a corn
dinner, strictly, lt was prepared by
six students ot the practice home
school of Wlnihorp College, under
the direction of .Miss Carrie Hyde. D.
li. Johhson, president of Winthrop
College, was present.
In introducing the several speakers,
following tho serving of the courses,
he told of the wonderful progress
that had been made in the South and
predicted a great agricultural future.
Ile spoke of the work at Winthrop
and the object of the institution.
Following the introduction of Dr.
Johnson, there were ringing addresses
by Commissioner Watson, Ira W.
Williams, I). X. Darrow and James
A. Hoyt.
The dinner was tho finest and the
most exclusive corn dinner ever
s rved in South Carolina, or possibly
in the South, and demonstrated tho
fact that there are mans delicious
and palatable dishes that may bo pre
pared from corn. All of the speakers
praised Hie girls who helped to make
the corn exposition a success.
Corn Judging School.
The corn judging school was con
tinued yesterday. This is a most im
portant feature of tho exposition. The
farmers of mature years who are at
tending the exposition are taking
much Interest in the work of the corn
experts. They are asking questions
for tito purpose of learning some
thing of the science of seed selection,
corn judging, fertilization and culti
vation.
Drainage.
"Drainage" was the subject of the
address ol A. ti. Smith, of tho Uni
ted Statos office of farm manage
ment, He is a drainage expert, and
it luis linell through his efforts that
Interest in tho question bas been
aroused in this State. Ile told the
farmers of South Carolina what bad
been done in the Stale of Illinois and
what can be done in this Slate.
Jerry .Moor?'.
"I want to see bis corn."
They meant .lorry Moore.
They were three South Cand?na
'? '-' had boen raising
cotton and corn and all kind of
"truck" for liO or 4 0 years, judging
by their apparent nge, and probably
50 or mure. They bad been success
ful, they thought; but Ibis boy
Jerry Moore;-had stirred their ad
miration and wonder, and they want
ed to seo him and his corn.
Hut Jerry is snell a little fellow,
and so quiet, that ono would bavo a
Hmo picking him out of that vast
crowd of people at tho corn show.
"Hut ] ll tell you ho has a good
grip," brod ono enthusiastic woma i
who had tho honor of slinking bands
with tho champion boy farmer,
"Of course ho has a good grip,"
said a man who knew. "That comes
from gripping Hie plow."

The Rose Property.
I have secured an option on the Mrs. John Hose 31-acro
