8[CR[TARY WANTS
IMMIGRATION STOPPED
Recommends That Congress Tighten
Up Laws and Keep Out Un
desirable Foreigners
THOUSANDS POURING IN
Great Bulk of Them -Not Fit Material
for Making Future Ameri
can Citizens.
Washington, April 19.-Rigid re
striction of immigration was recom
mended today by Secretary Hughes in
official documents transmitted to
Congress. They were interpreted by
House and Senate leaders as reflect
ing increased need for the immediate
passage of the immigration bill re
ported today by the House committee,
limiting admission of aliens for four
teen months beginning next May 10
to 3 per cent of each nationality resi
dent in the United States in 1910, De
bate in thei House will begin tomor
row under special rule.
"Our-restriction on , immigration
should be rigid," Mr. Hughes' report
said, "that it would be impossible for
most, of these people to enter the
United States." Particular reference
was made to undesirable classes from
Balkan cities, Armenia, Russia and
Georgia.
606,292 Passports
The report said 60(,292 passport
vises were granted by American con
suls in Europe for the year 1920, re
flecting a stimulated desire in most
European countries to emigtate to
American before anti- immigration law
were passed. The principal restrain
ing influence was said to be lack of
funds due to depreciated currency
values.
"The director general of police of
Roumania," the report said, "has is
sued an order excusing all Jews from
military service and permitting their
discharge from the army ii they (e
sire to emigrate to America."
In Roumania, 1,500 persons were
awaiting examination for permission
to come to the United States, it was
said, while "tremendous pressure" for
passage was reported by officials in
Poland, where 35,000 awaited third
class accommodations.
Letts and Lithunians leaving the
Balkan States. Mr. Hughes said were
largely people from the slums, the
vast majority of them "Jews of an
undesirable type."
Trying to Reach America
In the Russian caucasus "it may
be accepted as nearly literally true,
Mr. Hughes said, "that every Ameri
can family which had enough money
to get away or is not impregnated
with Bolsheivsm will ultimately en
deavor to emigrate to America. Rus
sians and Georgians are likely more
and more to emigrate to the same
haven.
"The great bulk of emigirants to the
United States from this district are
highly undesirable as material for
futme American citizens."
The report said 5,000 Armenians
and 20,000 Syrians were awaiting pas
sage friom Bagdad and that despite
difficulties of emigration from Ger
many, the number desiring to come
from that country had doubled in tho
last year, compared to any similar
period since the wa- ended.
Senator Jones, Republican, Wash
ington, introduced an amendiment to
the immigration bill in the Senate to
(lay which woul compel all immi
grants to the United States to take
passage only on vessels flying the
American flag.

MICROBE Of LOVE"
DRAWS BIG CROWD
Bright and sparkling was "The Mi
obe of Live," a musical comedy
iven at the School Auditorium last
lednesday night undcr the auspices
f the American Legion. Some scien
sts maintain that there are friendly
erms as well as deadly ones, but the
uthor of this clever I rodJuction,
lollie Moore Godbold, went the scien
sts one better and wove a charming
Lmdy about a microbe which was
iore than friendly-a real love pro
ucer. Miss Caryl Brigham of the
Vayne P. Sewell Lyceum & Produc
ig Company of Atlanta, Ga., who
bly directed the comedy, and starred
s Madam Hymen Cupid, injects a
>ve virus into the most chroinic
achelors and spinisters with rapid
entimental results that lead straight
a the miatrinonial altar.
Thle performance was remarkably
Acking in amateurishness and it
loved in a merry quick step, one
musing scene following another, in
erspersed with catchy melodies and
horuses which were pleasing alike to
lie ear and eye.
The local hits added greatiY to the
ierriment of the evening and the lead

1O BUILD SWEET
POTATO HOUSE HERE
Ilovenient Now on Foot to Hulid
House to Dry and Cure Sweet
Potatoes For The Growers
It appears that the farmers of
iClrendon county are preparing to
flant the largest crop of sweet pota
,oes that has been grown in many
ears. This conclusion is drawn from
-he reports that many farmers who
ave never planted more than an acre
re setting the land aside for three,
Four or five acres. Sonic are prepar
ng to put ten acres in sweet pota
mes.
There are many reasons for this in
nreased acreage. First, perhaps is
that the failure of the cotton crop to
bring adeiunte returns has made it
necessary for the farmer to produce
rood products. This has also increas
d the aereage in corn and stimulated
the raising of hogs. Secondly, the
need of diversification of crops that
has so urgently been brought to the
attention of the farmers in years past
being realized. States adjoining
Sou th Carolina, where diversification
has been the rule, are not feeling the
financial stringency in the degree that
we are.
Reports from growers of sweet po
tatoes of good prices this season
when all sorts of produce has been
hard to dispose of has been encourag
Ing.
'1he practical work done by the
South Carolina Potato Association in
securing the attractive name of
"Sugarspuds" and insisting upon
quality shipments has greatly increas
ed the demand in northern markets
where, until recently, such sweet po
tatoes as the Porto Rica have been
unknowi.
It is to be hoped that the efforts
now being made to build a sweet po
tato house in Manning will be suc
cessful. Surely the increased acre
age wvould seem to guarantee the suc
cess of such a venture.

Mr. A. L. Luce,
Dear r
We have your letter -of the 15th
with ceference to prices realized for
South Carolina sweet potatoes. They
have s(11 this season for from $1.20
to $1.140 per five peck crate f. o. b.
shipping point, and we expect 'will
averag- about $1.35 per crate at the
close of the season.
As yo:t know this has been an it
usually 1)001 seasoln, and practically
every kind of vegetables have been a
ilrug on the market. We fetl that
sweet potatoes have sold rem:irk -il y
well considering the conditions. Us
uilly we have a decided ad'nee in
price about April 1st. This has not
developed this yeair, as the markets
are loaded down with old potatoes,
aid the buyers have lost so much
money on all les that they ari'e sloiw
to take hold.
We are optom istic with regard to
the futir'e of the Southern sweet po
tato, and have our money invested in
warehouses in (ieorgia. Ilowever, it.
is going to be absolutely necessa rv
for th. South Carolina shippers to ge't
