The Press of the State seems to have gone into rapture about the com ing of the immigrants in the Witte kind last week. We confess that our foggyism does not permit, us to be thrown into cesasy about the matter. We are willing to watlch this experi mcl)t, anid to hope that it, may result in all that. is expected of it. by its pro motors, but we are not going into fits about its siccess 1111il we have some assurance that it is a real success. We have no objection to a reason able flow of, desirable iminigranlts ill to our 11111idst, but we want. these peo ple to com1e here fully realizing the condition they are to contend with, and without having lalse hopes raised in their minds by over zealous inimi grant agents. The moveient to sue eeed permanently, umu1st he laid in a true representation to these people off our condit ions, our scale ofN wages and all that. May be, tle coting of the Witte kind means tihe solution of our labor problem, each day becoming more and more vexed, and may be, it means the beginning of all kinds of social econ omic and political ills of which we are now coiparatively free.-Lexing ton Dispatch. We have never been enthusiastic in this im,migration movement. It may work out alright but we have always had very seriou douibis.

The State a few days ago had some ditorial paragraphs criticising Slier IT Buford and his constable in the fart I)avis case. These criticisms ,ee very injist inl that Mr. Buford Or his deputy had anything to do -itli tle arrest of )avis, and there Io, could not have applied to him. As to Mr. Floyd, hie is a good cit well amd it was 11njust-to Crititise him 11 Oh lit' nl er ill whiih these critie Ils appeare<l.

When within about fi miles of .town the prisoner' was tak fr'om him. The constable is positi ill lis assertion that lie (loes not kn< whlo the men who took the pirisoi from him were, and I have earnesi endeavord to discover their names as to have them prosecuted, but lit utterly failed. I have been on the al< to get all the facts concerning t matter ever since it happened, al with the exception of one tday spent -Columbia at the unveiling of Hampton monument, have been e -stantly at wvork at it. I have beer the neighborhood where the priso I was taken fi'om the constable, I hi -been to the home of the pr'oseent iof Davis, I have been- to the hei m (If thie father of Davis and have m a evei'y iquiry possible concerning -unfor'tunate affair. I am thorong a convinced that the prisoner was f killed. My iinformiation is that tI1 >, uniknown) men gave him a whipj f and turned him loose. When a prisoner wvas taken from the consti a no shots wvere fired and nothing ;, done to indicate that the prisoner e killed. The prisoner's father, Ye o Davis, is positive in his assertion I a his boy is alive. The bey wvent to house Sunday moranng a bout dayli - remained ther'e all day Sunday t Sunday night and left Monday m< jng. This was about 12 miles f the p)lace whore the prisoner was en from the constable. The following is a copy of an ' fdavit made by Young Davis, father of Mart Davis: South Carolina-Newberry county. Personally appeared Young Davis and being duly sw,orn says that his son, Mart Davis, that was reported to be lynched Saturday night,- is still living and going, about. Mart Davis, my sou, was at my house on Sunday evening and Monday morning, Nov. 18 and 19, 1906. his Young X Davis. mark. Sworn to before me Nov. 22, 1906. J. B. Smith, (L. S.) . Magistrate for No. 6 Township. My opinion is that Mart Davis is evading arrest under the warrant Sworn out, by the Dorrolis, charging him with shooting at them. Now, Mir. Editor, you have spok en of this matter editorially and you have said this prisoner was taken from my deputy. I feel sure that you do not. want to do me an injustice or to be unfair in your criticisms. I do not care to even appear to boast of my record in the offlee of sheriff for this county, but I can with truth say that I have endeavored with all my might to suppress lawlessness, and 1 can add that no prisoner has ever been taken from me or my deputy, and I doubt if any sheriff in the State has arrested more criminals than I have. I have taken pains to give you the details of this matter not only in jus tice to my county, but to myself, and, as you have always treated me with so much consideration, I am anxious that you should have the true facts. M. M. Buford, Sheriff for Newberry County. Newberry, Nov. 23, 1906. Pat Proved It.
