E. E. A t1LL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New 'rry. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, November 29, 190~. RBSTR1CTED IMMIGRATION. In another column we print an in terview from Mr. J. A. Patten on the immigration question. He reviews certain proposed legislation by con gress and discusses the questivn i telligently. We hope those of our readers who are interested iii this question, and all of us are iitere.ted, will read ,what Mr. Patten has to say. We have never taken to the idea that we should go wild on the sub ject of immigration or that there was any necessity for us to be seeking im migrants at all. Of course, if good people warat to come 'among us there should 'be noth ing throw:i in their way and we should bid them welcome. But we have never been able to see the wis dom of running around hukating peo pie and begging them to come to South Carolina. It is a little strange that we should say that it is necessary to have more white people to overcome the large negro majority and at the same time pass laws which practically prohibit any- one coming here to take from South Carolina any of the negroes. A state as dld as South Carolina, it does not seem to us, should have any necessity to _, out begging peo ple to come. Besides we are now as prosperous as any section of the globe acid why as Mr. 'Patten says should we want to be seeking other conditions that we know not what the result may be. We desire to quote from Mr. Pat ten's interview the following and to commend it to the thoughtful con sideration of those who think that we shall go to the bad if we do not get a large lot xf the immigrants who are being dumped on our shores. It seems to us we had better cut the whole business o:t and go on with our own people and our Own civiliza tion. Speaking of this subject Mr. Patten 'says: * "In a short time you could probab ly settle every cultiv'atable acre of * ~ land in the south, and in the course sof a fewv years quadruple the pres ent eotton erop and cut the price in tavo. In an even shorter time your forests cotld be turned into lumber argd your ;minerals mined. But what is the use of all this rtad, hot haste * to develop every one of your resoure es? You are now. after many years of. hard and self-sacrificing effort, a happy, contented anid yr&sperous peo = pie. Why fly from the present labor ills, whatever they are made out, to be by the selfish interests, to ills you snow not of?' Why not leave something for your own posterity' - and not jeopardize your institutions, ideals. end very eivilization itself, by bri:aing in other alien races which are now beginning to cause in the Northeast the very economic, social and racial evils -which are known on the Pacific slope as the "Yellow Peril' and in the south as the 'Ne gro Problem?'" As stated Tpuesday this issue of The Herald and News is printed on Wed nesday afternoon so that the force snay have Thanksgiving day. NOT MANY TBTOTALBRS. Only 15 Per Cent of the Adult Males Ranked as Such. -Per cent of men who drink, 85. Per cent who drink to excess, 30. Per cent who are inebriates, 12.. Per cent who are ineurable, 7. -Per cent of women who drink, 65. The man who is respons,ible for these figutres is Dr. W. D. Lawrence of Minneapolis. "Fifteen per cent of the adult mal : es in this country are teetotalers,'' said D)r. Lawrence to the Des Moine-s correspondent of the Clinton Herald, "wil 5 per cent are what may be termed privilege. drinkers: that is. men who claim the rig~ht to take a drink as it pleases them. 'out. who do not drink to excess. "Thirty per cent are diseased through the use of drink or drugs *these statisties relate to the use of drugs as well as the use of liquor. Thiey are inebriates and have acquir edl the~ habit. whiebl Ls bey ond their control. Of these 12 per cent are submlIerged. - "They are dipsomaniaes, and re' (quire the attention of the public, aid of benevolent societies, and organiza t:l'llm l :\l't'p1 il -i ;ule an d letum i thema. humane iy and at work, if i)os, sible." Childhood's Blunders. Religious Herald. Is there anything after all quite so naiveiy and deliciously humorous as the unconscious blunders of chil dren? Here are a few samples taken from answers given in a school ex amination in England. That they are <_enuinle there cannot be the silglitest doubt: The equator is a. menagerie lion running round th.e center of the earth. (The transformation of "im aginary line' into "ne:iagerie lion'' is positively de.ightful.) Then look at these happy turns: A vaceuum is nothing shut up in a box. The zebra is like a horse, only striped, and used to illustrate the letter Z. The climate of Bombay is such that its inhabitants have to live else where. Simon de Montford's father was a I Crusader, and from him he inherited religiousness, which was very use ful to him afterward when he be came Archbishop of Canterbury. But after all we think the follow ing will strike the editors as the richest of the collection: Etc., is a sign used to make believe you know more than you do. Basily Turned. Youth's Companion. A small boy was asked to take dinner at the home of a distinguish ed professor in Priniceton. The lad's mother, in fear lest he should com mit some breach of etiquette, gave him repeated directions as to what he should not do. Upon his return from the great oc casion, the mother's first question was, "Harold, did you get along at the tAble all right?" "Oh, yes, mamma, well enough. "You are perfectly sure you did not do anything that was not per fectly polite and gentlemanly?" 'Wh.y, no-nothing to speak of "Then something did happen. What wasit' "But I filed it ..11 right, mamma." "Tell me at once.'' ''Why, I got along pretty well un til the me'at came, but while I was trying to cut mine it slipped off on to the floor. But I made it all riht ".What did you do?" "Oh, I just say, sort of careless ly, ''Dhat's always the way with tough meat.' ''. L 1 Losing the Opportunity. Marshall P. Wilder told a stutter ing story at a dinner in Chicago. "I hate stuttering stories as a rule'' he s'aid. "but this one is rath er good. It is about two black-] smiths. hoth stutterers. The first snatcned a lump of red-hot iron from the anvil and then beg'an this conver sation: 'N-n-:; w. th-the-the1, st-strike! \- ;:here shall I st-strike?' J-j-just at the end. H-h-hurry 'Th-th-this end?' Te. f ese-c-ourse. Mind you, hit - -r j 'h t. N--n ! Shall I - --let her g-z-go?"' on f..f-fool; the iron's --cold.' "'Washington Star. Could He Have Survived? Ha'oper 's Weekly. "It is a rule to 'which good law yers unusigally .adhere,'' says *a Philadelphia attorney, "never to tell more than one knotrs. There was an instance in England, not many years ago, wherein a lawyer carried the rule to the extreme. "One of the agents in a Midland revision court objected to a person wose name was on the register' on the groundl that he was dead. The revision at torney declined to accept' the assurance, however. - and de ma nded conlusive testimony on the poit. "The ta'enit o:1 the other side arose and grave corroborative evidence as to the decease otf the man in ques tion. "' 'But, sir. .bow do you know the mna's dead !" ' demanded the barris ter. '''We'll.' was the reply, 'T don't ikow. It's very difficult to prove.' "'As I suspected.' returned the barrlisteyr. 'Y ou don 't knowV whether ,\"Whereupon the witness coolly *-o'iuedl: 'I was sayivnz, sir. that I lonm't know- wh1ethier ihe is dead or ot: bult I do know this: They buri edl him ab)out a miontlh ago oni sus Even His Dentist Finds Fault. 1>osti:t lierald. Secretarv William Loeb, who car ries as many official secrets under a tall silk hat as antv other man in \ashington. walk4d back to the WVhite House offices the other day smiling in spite of the fact that he had been visiting the dentist. "You must have had a good time." was suggested to him. "'The dentist told me I kept my mouth open too wide," said tha faithfal secretary, "and I told him it was the first' time I had ever been accused of it." Showing a Bad Example. Stray Storii. A g'roe'r who was noted for his arefulness had an advertisement in serted in a. local newspaper for a messenger boy. and a young fellow who understood the kind of a gen tleman who was advertising came to apply for the situation. and, while the grocer was teling him how eareful he must be, a. fly settled on a bag of sugar and the grocer caught it .a.nd threw it away. The boy then said: "If you want *ne to be careful you are showing me a bad example." "Why?" replied the former. "Belcause," said the boy, "ou iave thrown that fly away without brushing the suga.r off its feet!" End of a Friendship. "I saw a pretty hosiery display just now." "Where? Where?'" "Say, Snooks, you may consider' ] rourself a humorist, but I do not. Eenceforth, we are strangers. In j ,ase you have any future communi- ( !ation to make to me, put it in writ ng and address it to my lawyer." "Smoking is an index to charac :er," says an English physician. In the hereafter, smokingg will mean ;hat your .chaacter on earth failed - :o come up to the required stan- 4 lard. A Plain Man. "Have you a coat that would fit 2y monkey'?" "Can't say that I have."'' "You don't seem to care particu arly for my pet's sustom.' "No; I don.'t want any monkey usiness.'' It's easier to be sensitive than itI to be' sensible.
