The candidates for Governor a'nd all less exalted odices will add to the hur rah. - - For our part we hope that nli the caloric of the campaign he confined to the candidates, the men who .arc hungry for the pluttiikiUja. giuw on ttm polit ical trees, and that the people at large, llie jury, keep cool and so be enabled to reach the verdict on men andr.ieasurea that will bo bebt for them and the btate.

CHAPTER II D The experiments which have been made with Italian farm laborers on Xuniiyside Plantation in Arkansas and In The cotton field* of Texas have been altogether satisfactory to the planter* who have employed Italian labor, and we are sure that he would do ns well In |S(Mith Carolina as he has done in the great cotton producing Stales of the flouth.—New* and Courier. Admitting that the Italian has given aslDfuotiou to the land ow ner of the West, wktere fields would have rested and gone to grass hut for the Introduc tion of the immigrant we submit that the Italian there has-not given satis faction to the other business enter- prlses of that section The cotton that he has msde has henefltted only him- •elf and hU landlord and employer. In the West the Italian has, we be lieve, worked on large plantation*, where there is ample room for colonic* of that race, with priests of lligir own religions belief to give them at least occasional religious service. The soil * there Is so fertile that no expenditure for commercial fertilizer* is necessary, every cotton seed beyond the quantity Heeded Tor planting being aotif to Ibe oil intlls amF the .money received there for paying a large part of his farm aufl family expense* In Mils State it would be far differ ent.

There I* another fsetor that ha* been entirely overlooked hr everybody In .South CHrolina, from the esteemed Legislature down—the natural in crease of the white population. To Il lustrate we quote from a conversation w ith a leading citizen of the Fairfax community several months ago. Dis cussing the growth and development of the county he remarked that the white population of that section was three times as npnierou* ns it was forty year* ago. A like rath* of Increase exist* In every neighborhood having a rallrmd station center, and there are few homes In this county over an hone’s ride from 1» falTroad depot.

The success of the Italian experi ment in the West is more than a men ace to the prosperity of the South.
