The immigration movement in this Stato has assumed such proportions that its iiportance has been recogni7ccd by the United States government to the extent of appropriating a large sum of money for the erection of buildings at the Charleston uln migrant station. In our judg ment, this is but the beginning of a new era for the city- by-the sea: we look forward to the time when. as the shiploads of people from foreign countries are em ptied into Charleston, the pro mioters of industrial enterprises seeking labor to develope their investments, will locate in and around Charleston, and in the course of a few years that city will become a manufacturing center. The real estate in Charleston is no longer a buried investment, and from now on property values will enhance in leaps and bounds. Not only will Charleston become a great manufacturing center, but her iobbing interests will in crease, as the greatest of South ern ports is developed. The ship ping will take on a new and vig orous life, and this will be fol lowed by more and better rail road facilities. There is nothing to hinder a great progressive movement, but everything points to a magniticient development. While we have every confi dence in Charleston's growth and prosperity, we have an equal -confidence in the effect reaching -throughout the State. As the tide of immigration strikes the port at Charleston, the different elements arriving must seek their varied vocations: those from manufacturing cities of Europe will seek employment in factories, artisans will go where their work is in demand, agricul turalists will not-be content with city life and they will seek the farms. The whole country will feel the effect of the arrivals, and ajli will soon recognize the advantage and the wisdom of this movement. The State of South Carolina cannot of itself do all that is necessary to make this move ment a success, but there is every reason to believe, the other Southern States will do their share. The South'ern 1mmigra tion Association of which ex Gove-nor Heyward is the head, will bring about legislation in several of the Southern States that will finance an immigra tion bureau which will invade those rural sections of Europe where a most desirable class of peasantry is willing to come to America to seek their fortunes, and encourage the ambition of their children. This class dis tributed throughout the State, and the South, will prove of de cided advantage, industrially, and socially; in a comparatively short time the vexed racial problem will be relegated, and there will be a cosmopolitan population competent to handle with intelli gence, all situations and condi tions. The movement is in its infarncy and, like all progress, it must overcome obstacles of opposi tion, its greatest danger now comes from an element of politi cians who, to further their poli tical ends, must rely upon fan ning the flames of prejudice. There was an attempt to cripple the immigration scheme in the recent session of the legislature by withholding from the de partment the necessary means. The arguments of those try ing to cripple the machinery was altogether without reason ing, and only intended for future campaign thunder for stump consumption. Whenever we hear any man advocating any thing which tends to prevent progress, we regard him of nar row calibre and not the proper person to advise an intelligent people, therefore when we hear politicians endeavoring to stir up a prejudice against our im migration movement, we have no patience with such, because we believe they are not prompt ed from patriotic motives. OUR TAX SYSTEM WRONG. Our attention has been direct ed to* the present method of mak ing tax returns, there is no doubt that the present system has much to do with the inequal ity of taxation, and by this sys tem there are thousands of dol lars of taxable value which escape taxation entirely. In orr judgment, the system "can be re medied by relieving the auditor from receiving the returnls and put this duty upon the town ship assessors. Let the town ship assessors have a certain number of days in their- respec tive townships to receive tihe re turns and when the time is up, turn the retur-ns taken over to the auditoi-, thus i-elieving the auditor from a lot of work which can be more pr-ofitably spent mi his office, at the sametime put ting theasmessors in a positior to be in closer touch with those liable to taxation, and thereby through their knowledge of the taxable property in their respec tive townships secure all of the taxable property. Under the present systei there is nuch tax-dodging, and the assessments are so unequal ithat many honest taxpayers are being burdened unjustly. On ac count of the unequalled assess ment of property an Act was passed at the recent session of the General Assembly, permit ting a reassessment of property in Pickens county, and the argu ment for this unusual proceed ing was to the effect, that 1i certain sections of that county property was assessed in accord ance with the Comptroller Gen eral's instructions at its full value, while in other sections it was not so assessed, and thereby over taxing those who had com plied with the law. If, however, the township assessors had been engpuwercd to assess the prop erty, 1o such discrimination could have occured, and all of the property would have been more equally placed upon the books. To change the law in this respect would entail some addi tional expense, but the additional amount of property placed upon the books for taxation would be far greater than the cost. STATE OFOi1P.

Hails Family Pills are the best The seating of Senator Smoot or rather the failure to unseat him, is a victory for consti tutional rights, and a rebuke to an "holier than thou" element, which is constantly trying to force their narrowness upon the American liberty-loving people. The evidence showed Smoot to be a man of pure life, and we doubt if some of the Senators that voted to unseat him can show such a clean bill of morals. yet, they would stdne Smoot to appease a popular demand, and hug to their virtuous (?) bosoms men of whose walk in life and example to the world is black with suspicion.

We are much oblige to the editor of the Columbia Record for putting us in the company of the most distinguished editors in this State, at the sametime "such politicians" have never at tempted to seek any political posi tion, where their motives could be questioned. Of the editors mentioned, we are the only one holding office, and if we consid ered our personal interests, we would not hold office. Had Gov ernor Ansel tendered us an ap pointment on the commission, we would have declined on the ground that we did our full duty in killing the dog, and it would be too much to expect of us to help drag it off.

There is not an express office in the State but what has had an increase of liquor hauling since the 16th day of the present mnonth, and this business will increase as long as the dispensaries are closed. The new law to regu late the liquor nuisance should be given a fair trial, and if with first-class management it cannot be conducted without scandal, then it will be in order to adopt some other plan. Several years ago, an eminent sur gon removed the entire of a woman sutring from Cancer. The patient srvivedl the operation and lived several months.

Large size con There are many newspapers and individuals at a loss to un derstand the silence of Senator Tillnan, since the enactment of the Carey-Cothran Act which abolished the State dispensary. It expected the Senator would giv very emphatic expressiol of his opinion, that would make his interviews warm reading,but in this respect he has been dis appointing. It may be the Sena tor has reached the conclusion that. to offer opposition to the new law before the same has been put into operation would be more of a display of peevishness than wisdom, and then too, it will be impossible, for at least 'two years, to reverse the action of the General Assembly. He is taking the repudiation of his pet institution with a remarka ble good grace, and for thus sit ting up and looking pleasant he deserves commendation. Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought signatures of It is amusing to watch the editorial columns of the Colum bia Record since the enactment of the Cary-Cothran laxv. That paper, in and out of season, de fended the integrity of the State dispensary and everybody and everything connected therewith. It got the habit. and it just can not break itself. It stood off in amazement because Governor Ansel did not appoint politicians to wind up the State machine, and it is equally amazed because the reports from the county boards show a tendency to turn the affairs of county dispensaries over into the hands of business men who have no political as pirations. We believe the Record will tind many things for it to be amazed at, and when the Cary-Cothran Act has been in operation twelve months, it will wonder how it ever gave itself consent to offer such stub born opposition.

I promise not to buy drink, sell or give Intoxicating liquors while I live: From bad companions Ill'refrain And never take God's name in vain." Here and There. A State W. C. T. U. president recently spoke on the evils of Peruna. Later one of her faith ful members told her that she had decided to buy a bottle be ing ignorant of the evils of it. Could she have been a reader of the "Union Signal?" We may not realize that the fearful story which the Thaw murder trial is now bringing to light brings upon one glass of wine. If the beautiful and whose husband is on trial for his life had been reached by total abstinence teaching and had never taken a first glass that one fatal glass of poisoned cham paign would never have passed her lips. In some Southern States many of the cities are Prohibition, especially in North Carolina and Mississippi. It is not unreason able to believe that within the next twenty years there will hardly be any State in the South which is not almost wholly un der Prohibition. Whether this is the best way to handle the liquor traffic is a debatable ques tion, but it is quite evident that the people believe that it is the best way. A young man seeking with deepest earnestness of soul to get rid of his fearfully overcom ing thirst for liquor, went to a beautiful spring in the woods, and prostrating himself upon the ground beside the cool, fresh fountain, he implored the Lord to take away this terrible appe tite and give him a love for the water. It was all honest prayer and God answered it. He arose and drank refreshing draughts until he had taken almost an im moderate quantity. He lef t the spring with a love for- the nat ural pure, God-made beverage of earth that he had never known before, which remain .with him. He has never wished for liquor NOT IC E, Notice is hereby given that the Boar d of County Commissioners will receiroesealed bids on Saturday, the 16th, day of March 1907 at their office for the completion of the causeway acr-oss the north prong of Black River in Clarendon County at the new cross ing near- Sardinia.
