AS TO IMMIGRATION.
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

We have never been enthusiastic in
this im,migration movement. It may
work out alright but we have always
had very seriou douibis. We'rememn

The following is a copy of an

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,

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.

Sheriff for Newberry County.
