IS BEIKG CARED FOE Tbe WOEBOH Is aa Immigrant from Pelaad and Comisiioier Wats a Hat Taken Chnrge of Mar Case Although She Wag Not Brought Here by Him. Alone In a strange country; deserted by the man who".had taken -.with her | the solemn marital3vows;lill with the dread which a woman alone can suf fer; and unable to couverse with those iround her. Such waa the pitiable jllgbt of a woman who was fouod ?veak and starving in Columbia Fri lay. Applying at tho bornes of the K-ople of Columbia, she was unable to j nuke known ber wants, until Anally bc sank exhausted upon the step of i lie home of kind fhcarted people who | ive in tho most respectable part of he olty. The following particular.* j f tho sad case we ..take from the I tate : Mr. E. J. Watson, the commis doner f Immigration, waa communicated ri th at once, and although be was en ?g*d in moving his office effects from ho State house to a temporary cOloe i the 12-story building, he gave Im ledlate attention to the wants of tine inering woman. With Mr- Frank tyers for an interpreter, Mr. Watson ent to the borne where tho woman as being cared.for temporarily, and i be had suspected, tho unfortunate eature proved to be a natl Te of Po nd. Mr. Myers engaged her in conversa on, the tirst time since ber desertion t bc r husband that she had beard ?r native tonguo. Tho woman tedd story wbiob cannot be disbelieved, io Is about 30 years of age and rather mely in appearance, although she is seen, muob anxiety and suffering cently. She was unable to write, en in her own language, and ber me, as well as could be guessed om her pronunciation, is Stepbanki. This woman and ber husband, to lom she was married two years ago, me to fais country from tho prov e-e of Galatia in Poland three jotlis: ago. Two months ago ttey ire brought to Greenville j\n,wnrk.in il;ro^"u^vYK".w,rr A the m.11s there, ai- husband obtained work at a re uncratlon of 85 a week, and the two pt>ared to be living happily in ex ctatlon of approaching events until ree weeks ago when she was desert and left penniless among people ith whom she could not even cou rse. After a period of soul-harassing ixtf-ty, the, woman set ont on fool r C ilumbia, and walked all the way. ie was.given assistance by the kind sart-.d farm people alcng the way, id one family gave ber a pair of shoes I hich she needed badly for the eather baa been very severe. When Mr. Watson ?as untitled Fr'. ?y, he found tbe woman in a state j?j ' collapse and exhaustion. She was (j i weak that she could not keep V1 .vake and kept dropping off to Bleep. Q] f'hen through the Interpreter Mr. kitson had s cur-.d the story of ber lfferlnga he s.-t a' out to lind a place a] here she could bo cared for until he t? ?uld communicate with the govern- ^ lent authorities. For the fedoral overnment mikes prorison for such n nfortunate people as this and Bhe ? 'ould be cared for at the hospital at JJ I'.hs Island as soon as he could make p he arrangements. a Thc "Door of Hope" ls crowded, D nd there was no place for ?ho poor a coman there. Finally Mr. Wats in ft Liund a boarding place for the unfort nate creature at a house near the a inion depot, and here she will stay 'j intil she eau be sent to Ellis Island, g Foe woman's gratitude was a moving ^ pootaolc, and Mr. Watson feels many 8 i mos repaid for the three hours he pent in try;ng to get ber located tem >or illly. Tile romantic part of tho story ls Jj his: The arrival of the Polo, Frauk ; Jobletsky, In Columbia a.few weeks ' LS'O corresponds with tho time that ? ,be woman wis deserted by lot l lUshand, and lt ls m >ro than probable c hat ho ls the vagabond wh ) deserted ' ils wife. Tho woman's condition did I lot permit that she be allowed to con- f 'ront toe unfortunate Po'.e who ls lying I n a hospital in this city with one leg < ?ut off as the result of an accident on |1 ?be Southern railway lost Sunday when ie was caught walking across a long trestle a few miles north cf Columbia. lt will be recalled that when Sohle ski came here ho was unable to speak lo English. He was engaged to work for a farmer in Richland county and was running away when ho waa knock ed off the trestle. 11 ls barely probable ! that ho was trying to get 4baok to1 Greenville when he was caught-pro vided of course he ls tho renegraetel hu noami of tho suff ring woman. In re gard to this case Mr. Watson Bald last night: "The State department of agricul ture, commerce and immigration has been placed at a decided disadvantage I by reason of such a case us this. Tul? ! woman was not brought to South Car olina by reason of any action of the] department, and I regret' that li. h. Impossible for me, because of her laok of knowledge of the.E.igllab.language to ascertain by whom she wasbrougat to the State. When,the oall came tn mo lu the shape that it did and I saw the p^or creature and talked with ber] through an Interpreter lt would have ! been ueccessary for me to havo hud a j I heart of Htone not to have attempted to do somothing for her. Tue poor1 I creature was In sucha condition that 1 did not believe she could have kept her eyes open another half hour. "After trying several places where I thought lt would be beBt for her. to bc, I finally took her to a boarding st cc er cc tc w qi H mi ill.

This is a class of Immi gration that this - departir?n* has studiously avoided, our efforts being confined to the higher olass of people wno speak English and who become after a short time good citizens, asslm illating readily with our own people and adopting their views, politically and otberwlse. "At the same time when such oases as th's and that of the Polander, who came here recently, are brought t > our attention it la right tbat we should, acting as South Carolinians, see thab these people do not suffer. At the same time others, who are act ing outside of the State department in the matter of immigration, while meaning well, are only doing barm to a great movemoot for the upbuilding of the State, without Interfering with acy existing conditions. The low price of cotton that now prevails ha. served to check the movement of our own people back to the farms, and cousequ ntly the demand for ether labor In the mills has been reduced.ft "1 hope, therefore, that those who bavo been bringing in these people of i type that the department does not ind will not handle, will restrain themselves from further independent jfforts and will leave lt to the depart neut to meet their need judiciously vith due consideration of the welfare >f cur own working people and tbe nanufacturlng interests as well. Such ?ases as this aro not only deplorable, iu? eaoh one of them serves to retard he work of this department ls de igned to do for the good people. 1 incerely truit that thi3 will be naen nd appreciated."
