The Wittekind with her cargo of human freight has at last ar rived, and we hope the experi ment of bringing to our South ern shores these peeple from across the Atlantic will result in being the beginning of a tide of i-st class immigrants to the South. where respecta ble and in telligent white labor is so sadly needed to take the place of the shiftless negro who is fast leav ing the fields to loaf in the towns and cities. Col. E. J. Watson. commis .sioner of immigration. deserves the well done of his fellow citi zens for the valuable service he has rendered the State in this,the initial step of a great movement, a movement which if successful, will be the material salvation of the South. But while Colonel Watson has done much. and de serves the major portion of the credit. for he will be expected to see to st that the people he brought from their far away homes are given proper treat ment, there are others deserv ing of praise for their encourage ment of this great work. The News and Courier, and the Co lumbia State have at all times strongly advocated the holding up of Commissioner Watson's hands, and we believe the many well written articles in these two newspapers on the subject of immigratiou had much to do with allaying opposition in the State, and was a factor in aiding the Commissioner in his work of showing to these aliens the ad vantages the South had to offer them. We rejoice with the News and Courier in this progressive movement. and -find pleasure in reproducing its first editorial af ter the arrival of the "Witte kind." wATSON BRINGS IN THLE WITTEKIND. Hats oE to Col. E. J. Watson. Com missioner of Immigration for South Carolina. He has performed the most valuable service for this State. a ser vice that entitles him to the thanks of all our people. He camne into this port - ve'sterday morning on board the North German'ship Wittekind, bringing with him about five hundred desirable peo ple for settlement in South Carolina. A more carefully selected~promising com pany of immigrants has never been janded at any port in theUnited States. There was not one anarchist among them, not a single pauper or dependent person, not one who will find the pro cess of assimilation into American citi zenship other than a pleasant exercise. They came with their trunks and boxes and'baskets, filled with such store of household goods as they could trans port with them to this land pf promise, not as contract laborers, but at the in vitation of this State. and with the as surance from its ottcial representative that they would find abundant oppor tunity here for profitable employment. Coming under such auspices the! are entitled to receive, and will receive, ample protection and encouragement from the State. Among the immigrants there are men, women and children, entire fami lies and single persons, all intent upon becoming citizens of this State and country and aiding in the development of our marvellous material resources. There were skilled operatives in the cargo yesterday, all of whom have al ready found work in the cotton mills of the State. gardeners and farmers,work ers in iron, machinists, glaziers, car pentcers, laborers and servints, men and women who have been trained in their callings and who will find work exactly adapted to their several talents and a fair reward for their services wherever they are placed. One superb family of nine persons was laided as soon as the ship reached her wharf that, in the opinion of the UnitedStates Commissioner of Labor, are worth at le'-.st $10,000 to the State of South Caro lina, and' there were other families in the lot who will make ideal citizens. They were all in the best humor and it was noted by those who saw them how many refined faces there w'ere among the vovager-s and how many well-dressed people came ashore. They did not all speak the same tongue, but they were all evidently moved by the same spirit 0f enterprise, the spirit wvhich has built up the great West. the spirit which will build up speedily the greater South. One of the immigra tion omeiers who came to Charleston to show us how to manage the business, said yesterday that he had never seen a finer shipload of immigrants and he rejoiced with the people of this State that so many potential American citi zens had been added to the population of this Commonwealth. There was a great deal of animation at the immigration pier yesterday. The adjoining wharves and all the ap proaches wer-e filled all day with an in terested crowd of spectators and on the' head of the pier at which the Witte kind lay there were groups of men who had come to Charleston from different points to talk to Commissioner Sargent about further immigration to theSouth, manufacturers in search of weavers for their mills, the Immigration Commis sioner of North Carolina, to take notes - of how eas'- it is to handle immigrants at this port, housekeepers in search of good servants, farmers looking out for intelligent foremen for their farms, lumber manufactu.rers -ready to give employment to any competent men who would like to engage in this industry, and men who were ready to liud profit able employment for all who wanted to make a new start here. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon Commissioner Sargent and his ac complished assistants. The South, and particularly Charleston and South Car olina. ai-e under lasting obligations to him for the intelligent interest he has takeni in this first experiment at direct immimration to the South. His splen did spirit has proved infectious. He has worked with Commissioner Watson most ear-nestly and with the best in fluence upon the situation and to him we owe the most sincere thanks. To Dr. Stoner and Co:nmissioner- of Labor Neill and Assistant Cominn ssioneri Stump and Inspector- Paul andi inter preter Itothe an~d interpareter 'Spur bet eame.to Charleston to nelp in making tismovemlent a success we wish to ex press the thanks of the people of this city and the South. It is the beginning really of a new South and these pion eers are richly deserving of our most profound gratitude. If we could only make Commissioner General Sargent and his aides permanent residents of Charleston there would never be any doubt that the South would be filled speedily with, the best of the peoples in Europe; but as we shall not be able to keep them here very long we must give the most earnest heed to their good counsel and try to live up to the promises they have made for us and the faith they have in us. 'Special trains left the city last night for different points in the State carry ing 441 immigrants to their new homes. They were all very happy and content ed with their reception and the prom ise of the new life which they will be gin today. Just before the train left the immigration pier, the people in one of the coaches burst into song March on" March on: All hearts re solved: It was a delicious bit of sentiment. People who love their native land and who -an sing about it with spirit on for eign soil will make good Americans and good South Carolinians. The bet ter the Frenchman and German and Dutchman, the better the American. Welcome to all of our new neighbors and in a little while our fellow-citizens. Police Protection. The many crimes committed in the rural communities in this State deserves serious attention. and while it may seem that there is a plenty of statutory law to reach these crimes, there is not that distribution of protection to meet the demands in order that crime may be prevented as much as possible, and where committed, the lack of a proper machinery to execute the law quickly, affords opportunity for escape, thus emboldening the criminally inclined. It has been suggested that the legislature provide a rural police, and it is argued that such officers will be largely instrumental in preventing criminals . from es caping, but the advocates of such a system do not reckon up ,on the cost. A rural police to be efficient must be mounted and on guard duty all of the time. It would not be practical for the lack of means to support it. In stead of a rural police force in each county doing patrol duty, it has occurred to us that the legis lature might give authority to the three township assessors, making them justices of the peace. authorized by law to com mand the peace in case of a dis turbance and also giving to them the authority to issue warrants, and appoint constables to exe cute their warrants, having it so the constable making an arrest under a warrant issued by one of these justices, must take the prisoner before the nearest magis trate. This plan would provide three law-officers in each town ship with power to furnish the means for the immediate- appre ension of one who has commit ed a crime, and by being thus supplied with protectors, the ru al communities will have almost as much protection as the aver ge- small town. It is very sel om that we hear of certain rimes being committed in places* where there are plice, or near where there is a magistrate; the presence of these officers has a deterrent effect, anti it is our judgment that if we had more officers scattered about in the country,the effect would be a de crease of all manner of crime. We would not advocate the mul tiplying of officers where the same would drain the public treasury, and in suggesting the of c]othing,three township acces sors with the power to issue war rants, we would not have them to get additional pay, this addi tional power any patriotic citi en would accept as a pretection for his community and the con stable serving the process would gladly do so for part of the fine or other compensation based up on conviction. There should be some means romised by our laws that will Insure safety to those living away from incorporated towns, and aside from what we regard an impracticable theory--the ru ral police, on account of the ex pense, the plan of making mag isterial officers of our township ssessors, strikes us as being worthy of consideration. We should like for the press of the State to take this matter up for iscussion before the general as sembly meets. Let Every Texpayer Come. There is no gainsaying it, the pennywise and pound foolish idea is demonstrated when we onsider~larendon's wooden and fire menaced court house. If this court house was to be de stroyed,the probability is the rec rds would go with it, and we :oubt if many persons have thought for a moment what the destruction of our records would mean to those who have proper y to pay taxes upon. Let the records of this county be destroyed and there would result untold litigation, claim ants would arise to property they have no interest in, possibly property their forefathers sold, r property taken from them un der order of court to satisfy debt, r perhaps through the contin gent fee system claims would be: ade to property with a view to: extort money from the innocent. here are many who would rath-| r submit to a "holdup" of a few: ollars rather than undergo the tnxiety of a law suit. They vould submit to the imposition ven by doing so they lay them-. clves liable to another "hold-] There are many inconvenien .es the public would be liable to f our records were destroyed. 'he question then is, are our peo ue willing to be thus menaced1 y continuing this unsafe, un-1 pository for the records. when a strong. safe and comfortable building can be erected which will be a protection and an orna ment. It will be an index to our out lying sections, to show to the home seeker there is surround ing the county seat a country of thrift and progress. The court house belongs to the people. The records in it are theirs also, They, and they alone have a right to say wheth er or not thsr representatives shall make provision of safety for the future. If a court house is to be built, we feel satisfiedr the cost of erecting it will hard ly be felt by those who will have to pay the tax. Let us come together and have a heart to heart talk with those who will represent us in Co lumbia, and to do this we sug gest the first Monday in Decem ber for a mass meeting. UNSATISFACTORY VERDICT. A reading of Judge Hydrick's reasons for refusing to grant a new trial in the cases of "Camp tire Bill," and George Spivens, convicted of the murder of J. E. Gaillard, does not impress the reader as being a contident de cision. The juryafter seeing the witnesses and hearing the testi money, rendered a verdict which does not do Sumter county credit. J. E. Gaillard was the victim of an unprovoked murder, no excuse whatever was shown at the trial for taking his life, that his killing was the result of a devilish sirit of wantoness there is no doubt, then his alleged slayers were either guilty of murder, or innocent, no room for extenuating circumstances upon which to base a recom mendation for mercy,one or both of the prisoners was guilty of murder, and should suffer the death penalty, but the fact of an intelligent jury, the foreman a man of prominence, returning a compromise verdict, leaves room to suppose the jury were not al together satisfied with the proof that the parties on trial were the men guilty of the crime-there was doubt, and it must have been a strong doubt, or, under the circumstances the jury would not have spared the death pen alty. That such a doubt existed is affirmed in Judge Hydrick's remarks in refusing to grant a new trial. He intimated that testimony was suppressed be cause of fear; and that the whole facts had not been brought out, and yet, from his own remarks witnesses may have been intimi dated and the verdict was a com promise to appease public senti ment. He, after virtually inti mating that the prisoners had not had a fair and an impartial trial, would not rise above the public sentiment and give the prisoners another chance. We regard the verdict as un jst to the dead as well as the living, tuo the dead, because his murderers should be hanged, the living if their identity was not established beyond a reasonable oubt, they should not be made to suffer, for 'tis better that inety-nine guilty escape than one innocent man be made to suffer. We also regard the re marks and action of Judge Hy drick unjust. He heard the testi mony, looked the witnesses in the face, was in position to form a judgment, and if in his opinion the case was shrouded in mystery and anything was withheld hrough fear or favor as he in imated, it was his duty as a matter of even-banded justice to grant a new trial.

Its Signiftcance Dates Away Back to Early Greek Times. From very early times one bf the dis tinguishing marks of a slave, both in Greece and oriental countries general ly, was the lack of gpy covering for the head. Accordingly the cap came to be considered the insignia of liberty, and when slaves were given their free dom they were presented with a cap as an emblem of it. In Sparta the helots wore a cap of dogskin, and this was reckoned a badge of servitude, but upon gaining their freedom this was xeplaced by a cap of a difterent ma terial, of another shape and ornament ed with flowers. A similar custom was observed In Rome, where the pres entation of the pileus. or cap, was al ways a part of the ceremony of manu mitting a slave; hence arose the prov erb, "Servos ad pileum vocare." Also on medals the cap Is the symbol of lib erty and is usually represented as be ing held in the right hand by the point. When a cap was exposed to the peo ple's view on the top of a spear, as in the case of the conspiracy against Cae sar, It was intended as a public invi tation to them to embrace the liberty that was offered them. The Goddess of Liberty on Mount Aventime was represented as holding a cap in her hand as a symbol of freedom. The Jacobins wore a red cap during the French revolution, and In England a blue cap with a white border Is used as a symbol of liberty. The custom which prevails among university stu dents of wearing a cap is said to have had Its origin in a wish to signify that the wearers had acquired full liberty and were no longer 'subject to the rod of their superiors. RESTAURANTS. The First of Them Was Established In Paris In 1765. For a. long time inns and eating houses in Fraree were only Intended for the benefit of traveling people, for the people took their meals at home and restaurants were unknown. The first enterprise of the kind was found ed in Paris in 1765. A citizen by the name of Boulanger opened in the Rue des Poulies an eating house where soup, meat, fowl and eggs were serv ed. A chronicler relates that meals were served there on small, round marble tables and everything was scru pulously clean. Over the entry to this first eating house the proprietor had hung a sg upon which were the Latin words, ' +e nite ad me omnes quae stomacho labo ratis, et ego ritaurabo vos" (Come unto me all ye whose stomachs need attention, and I will restore them). This is a parody on the well known Biblical quotation, "Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," only in place of labor and heavy laden he said, "whose stomachs need attention." The word "restaurabo," from the Latin "restau rare" (restore or refresil), was the main char'acteristic of the new estab lishment and gave it its name. Bon langer amassed a large fortune, for his enterprise proved emineny sue cessful, but he was soon imiltat ', some of ais imitators becoming more famous thau..he. ____ _____ -us Child Wonder. The French Academy of Sciences In 1729 examined the case of 'a French lad only seven years old who, in all respects save that of intelligence, was the equal of a man of twenty. His re markable physical development began when he was two years old. At four he could do the farm work of a boy of fifteen or sixteen, and at seven he'was a fully grown .man. Although his physique was thus remarkably devel oped, his intelligence was no greater than that of children of the same age. He died before he was twenty. As Is usual, In such cases of premature de velopment, his strength faded away, and he became prematurely old before other men would attain maturity. The Pandects of Justinian. The pandects of Justinian, the most complete body of Roman laws ever collected, were supposed to be lost, but in 1137, when Amalfi was taken and plundered'by the Pisans, a private sol dier found a copy, which he sold to an officer for a few pence. The value of the discovery was soon apparent, and the precious volume was taken to Pisa and stored in the city library. When Pisa was stormed by the Florentines in 1415 the precious volume was cap tured and taken to Florence, where It was placed in the library of the Medici. Needles. Needles are all made by machinery. The piece of mechanism by which the needle is manufactured takes the rough steel wire, cuts It Into proper lengths, files the point, flattens the head, pierces ie eye, then sharpens the tiny instru ment and gives it that polish familiar to the purchaser. There is also a ma chine by which needles are counted and placed in the papers In which they are sold, these being afterward folded by the same contrivance. True Wealth.
