IMMTGRANTS FOR THE SOUTH. conmissioner Wotson states that he will seenre iaother ship load of c immigrants this fall and that he has a a hope t.hat a regular line may be established between Bremen and charleston. A dispatch from lremen il :o agents in New Orleans gae the inforation that no encouia'iement W0ould ho '"ive: to their people to -'ro to the S'uthern States on account o T the tre;let~ rec:vcd here.

Take a one horse tenant on a good f.arm1. If he at can1 work the land that one horse canai plow, a full average crop would be 10 hales of cotton, 100 bushels of corn and some fodder and hay. His half, with cottoti at 10 cents and1 corn at 75. would he $287.50. Add for cotton e seed, extra potatoes and fowls and s hay and fodder $50.00. That would b make his whole income for himself anid family 337.50. One of these im migran ts vould ask $250 with board i and washing inelided.

The question with is has been, do N we want thai class of immigratits who would simply be satisfied to work a( at as frm laborers. The class of immi grants, as we have repeatedly said, that would he of henlefit to the south - are those who desire to come here and purchase their own hoies Cither as t individual families or in colonies.

The News is glad that it is ereatinig mi interest in a trolley line from Edge 'ield to either Newberry or Green vood. Thte matter has comniced to ake slaple. Steps will be taken next latuary whe the legislature meets o seetire a charter for the line. Of ourse, the toute has not yet been Jeed upon but Edgefield is g)*ng to ave a trolley line a stated to either 'ewherry or Ureenwood.

This we probably should hav known also, but it had Iot ocurre( to us that .the farming 9oerations a Winthrop were so extensive on cost ly. It may be that the yOung ladie are taught farming. ther' also. Th Advertiser concludes thus: "There fore it seems advisable that the fan be sold to the highest blddij' and tha Winthrop be put. in. the class witi other seminaries for young ladies si far as the farming business is con eerned.'' This conclusion is all righ and proper if the Advertiser is cer tain that, this farm at Winthrop iE not used for the ptrpose of telciini the young ladies the science of farm ng as well as for furnishing the tooth iomke delicacies to which it refers. Before we can agree to the conclu 4ion by tile Advertiser, we must .4at isfy ourselves that the only purpose :)f this farm is to grow delicacies foi Ilhe youg ladies, and even thlen wh3 ;houl not the young ladies at Win IhrIop have tlese dIelicacies.

Spartanburg and Anderson coun ies are both about to begin perima ient road building and the money to >e expended will be raised through arete bond issues.

Harmon v. J. L. Cook, in which a verdict for $7,00 was rendered for the plaintiff, Judge Purdy has refused a new trial. His order is as follows: It is very difficult to settle such questions as are raised on the motion for a new trial in - this case. While the act of the defendant may appear to be trivia'l, and, too trivial to war rant so large a verdict, yet just such acts as this bring about disturbances of the peace of a community, and, soielimes deathli. That tile plaintiff took a peaceful method, instead of a violent mlethiod, un1der thle circumistanl ces, is most fortunate. If the defend ant deemed his right a proper one. to 'he exoreis41, he should not have t1hroateiied its enforcement with a siot-iiun. The jury heard tihe whole case, knew the parties, their surround ilgs anld t1heir Imleanls, an1d have put u1poln the deldant a heavy pelailty in the shiape of a vertdiet, to deter him and others from doiag acts which tend to lead to a breach of the peace. It ought to be a salutary lesson and I will not disturb the verdict. The motion for a -iew f rial i-, re fused. R. 0. Purdy, Presiding Judge. Jnie 25, 1907. The July McClure's.
