' Authorities say that the ports1J of Europe are thronged with im? j migrants eager to oome^to this^ country, but that most of these! are undesirables. seeking to dodge the burdens of their own 1 people and likeiy to foment ' trouble if allowed to come here. For this reason greater restric- , tion of immigration is urged. ( / Badly as America needs labor, | there is more need of a protect- ] ive immigration policy if the 1 abuses of America's hospitality j are not to go on. I The first step in such a policy is the shifting of these people in ] their own countries, through the ( establishment of bureaus in the 1 great centers abroad which shall 1 examine every applicant for im- 5 migration to Ameaica so carefui- y ly as to prevent the questionable ^ from even heading this way. The next step is a better handling of the situation here. It is } suggested by some who have had ( experience with alien population t that there should be such a distribution of immigrants when r they arrive here as will prevent the formation of large racial settlements. This, hower, is easier said than done. The natural trend of any human being is toward his kind. Even if separated originally they will tend to get together, and the prevention of this leads to big questions of y rights of restraint. Probably a better solution is more vigorous Americanization work right here in these settlements. The aljen is not the only one who does not mix. What of his American host who handles him with tongs because he is an alien, instead of grasping him by the eand as an embryo Americnn? Who calls him "Guinea," "Wop," and "Hunky," and exploits him to the limit? The im- " migrant will cling to his old nationality until somebody shows < him a better one. i Get only the good ones here i and make them glad they came, < Then, ii in spite of all efforts, i they remain obnoxiously alien, i send them home. " 1 If You Had a Million. \ Human beings delight to dwell \ upon the possibility of great < wealth. Most of us, when we < are young enough, think of the i advent of fortune as if it were < liable to become an accomplished i fact shortly. Few of us ever < stop 10 measure our character by ^ considering just what we would \ do if we had a million dollars. \ If you had a million dollars, \ would you enjoy it to yourself, \ spending it lor what, you liked \ while you were living and leav- J ing the balance to your heirs? 1 If you would, you are of the 3 common, ordinary type of hu- < mun huincr Mao? nw.n ? I. ? " < mvoi, men tan uiaac >j money; otten the size of the pile 1 of wealth means surrender of 1 character. The money god is a jealous savior. Put your trust in him and you soon come to worship him more truly, more fully than the pagans of old worshipped their graven images. Of course, you haven't a million, but if you had that much money, would you leave your church a little, or give some of it while you breathed? Think the matter over, reader, and see if you can't decide that money is responsibility, both to God and man, and that you would give freely of your wealth, if? but there's the rub! The man who won't give liberally today with what he has will r.ot give tomorrow, no matter how fortunate may be his financial luck. The man who is ready to give when he gets a millign, rarely gets that much, because he gives now. iinriiwrnrwrfTw? Majestic Theatre Monday, Win. S.

It will probably be tried at the November :erm. Lieut. James C. Dozier, of s Rock Hill, who was awarded the c Congressional Medal for great oravery, displayed while serving 11 with the Thirtieth Division overseas, went to Washington this week where he received the French croix de guerre. He c railed at the French embassy n Washington Wednesday and received the medal together with L i cordial letter from General 3ollardet of the French army, rearing on the matter. j; Congressman Stevenson on t ruesday introduced bills pro- ? /iding lor the erection of five rublic buildings in his district, >ne at Rock Hill, one at Lancaser, one at Winnsboro, one at e ^heraw and one at Yorkville. s Che Rock Hill bill provides foi 1 he sale of the present lot and i he erection of a Federal court milding at a cost of $150,000. c \notPer bill would increase the :ost limit of the building ahead} luthonztd at Lancaster to the s ;xtent ol $25,000 and the other fills each provide tor an ap- v jropriation of $75,000.
