Has the action of the new or ganization known as the Farmers Union had anything to do with the position taken by Senator Latimer on immiigrationY In his recent interview, shortly after his arrival from abroad the Sen ator says he favors restrictinI immigration to the extent that he is "opposed to the State or corporations furnishing money to pay for the transportation of immigrants into the United States," but believes "our best policy is to be content with the natural growth of population." He also thinks "our mills would be better off in the long run to let a few of the spindles stand idle and sell their goods at the high price they are now getting in the United States than to run all their spindles and take a lower price for their products." With a proper deference to our distinguished representative, we do not think his junket abroad has broadened him in the least, but that in his interview be ex hibits himself as more of a caterer for votes from the easily inflamed ignorant rabble, than a statesman seeking to better the conditions of our country. If Senator Latimer hopes to main tain white supremacy in South Carolina, he will do well to visit the schools of the State, and see for himself the advancement be ing made by the colored race, and then cast partisan politics aside, and calculate how long will it be before our oresent constitutional protection will not serve us. He will also do well before trying to cater to the whims of %n organi zation which is being led by men who will eventually work it for political prestige, study the operation of South Carolina's immigration bureau, and learn that the purpose is to bring here a desirable class of immigrants who will build up our citizenship, and to keep from allowing dump od upon us the undesirable ele ment that he speaks of. The Senator's remarks are rather surprising to us, because we were under the impression that he was a believer in development, and not of the class who would be content to "be content with the natural growth of popula tion," when he knows, that so far as this State is concerned the ."natural growth of population" must necessarily be a slow pro cess, and that by being thus con tented, and doing nothing for our development we would be heaping up the white Man's bur den upon the shoulders of our children, and leave . to them a legacy they would not bless us for. We are also opposed to have among us the class known as the "riff-raff", but the efforts the State is making for an increase in white populationi is not to secure this class, and although the Senator recently spent sev eral months in Europe, the greater part of his time was spent in the cities where the "riff-raff" huddle, to live by their wits to avoid honest labor, but in the interior where lives the honest tiller of the soil, who would, with the assurance of proper treatmeut be glad to seek a new home, because the oppor tunity in his native land for de velopmeut is restricted on ac count of over population, it is -different; there the Senator will find peoples who know nothing of the ways of the "gutter snipes" and "celler-dogs" of Liverpool, Venice, Hamburg, Paris, London, and the other -crowded cities recently visited by the government junketing party, the people born and rear ed upon the farms are of the stock from which our best Amer ican citizenship sprung, and they are worthy of our best efforts to induce them to be of us. It is the heighth of folly to say it would be better for the spindles in our mills to stop to wait for a high price for their products, we might as well urge a "rest cure" for farming and merchandizing, let everything' become stagnated until every thing is consumed before start ing work again. What's the matter with the prices of manufactured products now, are they not higher than ever before, and is not the de mand growing more and more? No the trouble is the Senator lives where the organizers of the Farmers Union are, and he im agines this organization will spread over the country as did his "Ocala platform," "and he is holding himself to take their views, if the thing goes, should it howeuer fall flat and opposi tion to South Carolina's plan of securing immigrants is popular, there is in the Senator's inter view enough room to side-step.

The Columbia Record seems to think ou. comments on the conduct of the Blair case was unwarranted, and did the at rornevs for the defence a grave wrong, all because we gavc it as our opinion, based upon the pub lished report of the trial, that the defendant's attorneys were too certain, or rather they were over-confident of an acquittal, and they did not exercise that great caution and care they usu ally do in cases of such gravity. Possibly the Record is right, we should not have attributed the woman's conviction to over-con - fidence on the part of her at torneys, and now that Mrs. 3lair has been given a new trial her case becomes of more general interest, and the conduCt of it will be watched the closer. We hare no interest i the case one wa ranother excpt the in terest of com on fairness, and notwithstandin.g the Record's opinion that we niust have been half asleep when we read the testimony in the case, we say Vet. there was a very reasonable doubt in that testimony which should have been given to the prisoner. The doubt, was not as to who tired the shot that did the killing, but as to that shot be.ag tired with murderous in tent. We believe there was a scuffle over the possession of the pistol, the woman trying to keep her husband from getting it, and in the struggle the weapon was accidentally discharged, whether our theory is correct or not. there was a very strong substan tial doubt of the woman's inten tion to shoot her husbaud, and in the interest of justice, we are gratitied Judge Johnston has given her another chance to es tablish her innocence.
