THE IMMIGRATIOIN CONVBN'101.
Earnest Men Assemble In Columbia and
Adopt General Plan of Work for
Securing Settlers.
Patriotic men of South Carolina
organized in Columbia oi Tuesday
what in time may be one of the
great agencies for making the State
as great comtnercially and agricul
turally as it is inl its manufacturing
interests. 'This object they hope
to accoiplish th rough immigration,
the engrafting upon the citizetiship'
of this State of sturdy settlers froml)
the old country who will populate
the agricultural section now being
deprived of its citizens in order to
give thei eiploy-ienlt in the cot
ton mills.
The attetidance was gratifying,
deleg'ates from ieary ha!f the couni
ties in the State being present, and
the persola! interest of the delegates
inspires the belief that the meetting
together will Inot 1e in vainl; that
there is a lofty purpose and that the
representative men who were pres
ent will (do what they cain to bring
to South Carolina st ttlers who in
the yeals to conime will become a
part of the State's best citizenship.
