We need good streets and sides' v?alks and waterworks a blamed sight i more than we do a watering trough |?? and fountain on the court house fifeisquare. We see that the State department > of immigration has asked the legislature for an additional appropriafjition of $10,000 for the coming year. kv<Vfe presume this is to pay the transV;' portation of people from Europe ^whom they want to bring over to ?wortt 1L1 Uie UULWJU 1111110. iiaib uiv cotton mills become so poor that |p?>they must be fostered by the ^?State? It doesn't look a bit like "equal rights to all and special privileges to none" to use the money of gfetiie tax payers for any such purpose. ^ - Evidently the department of immi^ migration needs new and different Pp management. This newspaper has never been ex&& actly enthusiastic over the departpg ment of immigration, yet we have jg&t never opposed it. We are heartily P~ in favor of immigration, but whether the South Carolina department is doing anything worth the money is j^gthe question. After a trial of several years, we must say frankly that we *"*- *? A 1 MSV.rk AV+Anf O "Poll? *f-'- v DdlCYC 11 15 tU <X IOigc CAKiii/ c* xnttJKV. ure. One ship load of immigrants have been brought over, and we unlp: derstand that the State of South gfeCbrolina paid the transportation of pr those who were brought over. These fe people went to the up country mills r^>very largely, there being few domestic servants or farm hands among |pf than. The State has no right to tax PJ: all her citizens and use that money fe' 'iqr the benefit of the large corporafe-; tions. It is an outrage, and we think the time has come to abolish the defe*:partment of immigration. Waterworks Again Our people have gotten stirred up prv on the matter of fire protection for j&^yMain street again, as a result of the recent fires. Tuesday afternoon Mr. Jho. H. Cope, president of the cotton mill, who has taken much interest in this waterworks matter, circulated a petition to city council asking that | f^v'' they put waterworks on Main street, | the signers pledging themselves to| pjbjta one mill extra taxes if necessary. I rail Tlw? rvifitinn was mimerouslv siemed I and was presented to council the same j Sp evening, this being the regular fejpmonthly meeting. It was discussed p;| by the body, and it was decided to SpPfsH legal advice on the question begy fore proceeding. .

Portland, Me., Jan. 31?Mrs. Jessie Steele, a daughter of Bret Harte, and, like him, an author, is an inmate of Portland's poorhouse. She was taken there four days ago and the city overseers of the poor are trying to get into communication with her husband, Luther Steele, to notify him of her condition and ascertain who is to be responsible for her maintenance. Mrs. Steele is believed to be mentally unbalanced. She spent the summer of 1905 at a hotel on Chebeague Island, Portland harbor, accompanied by a woman attendant, Her husband paid her board. After that summer Mrs. Steele boarded in hotels here and rented a cottage on the Cape Elizabeth shore last summer. Then she returned to Portland hotels, and last week the city authorities were informed of her mental condition and her inability j to pay her board. | Mrs. Steele spends practically ail ! her time in her room in the poor| house writing on paper pads. She says she is writing a play and intends to earn enough money to go on the stage. She says she thinks her husband is in the West, but she does | not know where. Colleton County Out of Debt. | Walterboro, February 3.?We are informed by Supervisor Moore that Friday, January 25, was made a memorable day because from it Colleton county can date being "out of debt." When Mr. Moore took charge of the office four years ago Colleton owed $78,000. Sixty thousand dollars bonded indebtedness, $18,000 past indebtness, to say nothing of $14,000 which had been borrowed for that year's current expenses. Through the good mangement of Mr. Moore and the county commissioners this debt has all been paid and Colleton county will have a surplus of several thousand dollars when this year's taxes are all in. Besides paying this indebtedness a handsome addition to the court house and a number of much-needed and costly bridges have been constructed. Too much praise cannot be( given those of our county officers who have contributed to this consummation so long devoutly wished. When you go to ring up for your groceries, think of us. Phone 41.

Washington, Feb. 2.?Representative Legare's friends are congratulating him upon having been called to the chair to preside over the house by Speaker Cannon yesterday. This is the first time in many years that a Democrat has been so honored, and, Mr. Legare's colleagues are wondering what it means. While he was in the chair the house was considering the rivers and harbors bill and a hot debate was on between Chairman Burton and a number of members of the house who thought that they had not received as much out of the bill as they should have gotten. Mr. Legare presided during this time with all the ease and poise of Speaker Cannon, although he was minus the cigar the speaker invariably carries. While the Charleston congressman stands high in the house with both Democrats and Republicans, it was never believed that the speaker would so recognize any Democrat by calling him to the chair and presenting him temporarily with the gavel and authority of office. Dempster Out on Ball. Charlotte, N. C., Feb. 1.?Mr. J. M. Dempster, the young man who is charged with the abduction of Miss May Foster, of Greenville, S. C., was Kir South Carolina lUV bA/U KTJ V*?v WWVM W? authorities Wednesday on $500 bond. Mr. Dempster, with his attorney, Mr. Marion Reed, went to Greenville Tuesday morning-, and owing to the fact that the prosecution was not ready the case was posponed. The defendant gave bond without the least difficulty. Mr. Dempster returned to Charlotte Wednesday night and has resumed his duties as a traveling salesman. No time has been set for the trial. Robbery at Allendale. Allendale, January 30.?The store of the R P. Searson Drug Company was broken into last night and about $200 worth of watches stolen.
