CM August HI, 1004. Immigration Agniu. Twenty-live years ago the fine farm ing lands m Hunters and Cross Hill bovl ushlps were wortb about what they eve Worth now. The time was when tho Spring Grove plantation, sold in smull divisions a year ago, would have brought better prices. Moauwhllo tho ridge lands In Dials and Youngs town ships w. ro in tho old days worth from $3. to $ti. the acre. They have come to be worth from $15 to $40 tho aero. The explanation is that tho proportion of white people in these upper townships is much larger than iu the lower. Churches and schools have moro rap Idly multiplied whore tho sottlemont of inrhltn fn more denjo and conse quently Monies in these sections are moro iu demand, No v it is history that about 100 years ago most of the people in tho upper township! were immigrants. In the lower townships was a larger olement of wo Itb'y planters with great bodies of slaves. lato the upper townships in the years following the Revolutionary Woe numbers of immigrants from Ire laud, Scotland and more especially people of Scotch and Irish descent from tho N r'be n States Hooked. Those facts are only approximately true, but they are sullleient'y aceurato to estab lish the proposition that the immigra tion of a good class of whites owning small farms has made a woalthy and prosperous'seotion. Wo doubt If uny [whero in South Carolina or In tho South I o o found a greater avorage pr ? ?. than in the whole of Dials and in parts of Youngs und Sullivans I u iships. If the cry bad been ralsod In Laurehsa century ago against tho cv dug of '.he S;otch and Irish and tho peopl ? of o bors'.ntes the developement Ions would have been hin nnds in the lower town ' ships are generally us fertile as are those i ! til! upper townships. Immi grants who come here will nuturally settle In octlons where farms can be bought ror the least money. An irami gr n w th $1,030 will chooso a $10 an acre tract of land in Hunters Or Jacks ra her lhan a ?:iJ an acre tract In Dials. Thus If t d of im migration can bo turned to the South again as It was bnrned io> years ago, wo may expect tho same sort of development as has taken plaoa in our richest sections. Our Immigration law contemplates assisting and inducing to sottlo In South Carolina only the best class of With this in view the law dis tinctly for ; 13 the Invitation of immi grants from Southern Europe. Tub ADVERTISER holds the view that no harm would result In bid iging Italian) Swlsfl '.|^^^le h (hat they lid make u^^t/?d w irthy citizens, but the -tu o's immigration bureau is limit d by : v ?' to inviting northern Eu ropeans,. If I succeeds in the course of the nexU tenor liftojn years in ia duoiag ovon throe or fmr thousand families to S >uth Oa o'ina it will have p lid for Itself hundreds of times over. \Vo do not bolieve that tho people of Laurens county are ready to take tho position that the wasto lands In South Carolina shall no< have tho benefits of such Irani Tation us Dials township for f.x un/ ' hud In if > oarlior his'ory .rryi jg further our suggestion of ti / week that the Anglo-Saxons aro . ,i tho "only pebbles on tho beach," l/t ua consider for a moment tho un spgakablo Japanose. We laab there is not in South Carolina a white man who duos not consider hlms if superior to the Jap. Neverth dess within half la century tho nation hns.como from pro foundest obscuiity to tho forefront of powor, civilization and culture. To say that the Japaneso are not shrowd in n pit she 1 in the arts and sri mole and soldiers and sailors of ex braordlnary excellouro would be to confess one's ignorance. Wo do not de sire an influx of Japanoso immigrants to Laurens. We do not wish this news paper to pass Into the hands in a fow years of Japaneso owner;. Wo do not Wish .to bo o'lL-wi'tpd, overrun and oaten up by the enorgetlo, unsparing and never tiriug Japs. Hub when wo ? insider these s imo Japs, ho lately de spised aud laughed at, we luvo little ^ Ffspoot for too uproarious demagogue * Who i- alarmed lest we South Carolin ian? are to.j good 'for ussjclatiou with grangers who might wish to r-omo here from other parts of the world. For racial reasons Immigration should be confined to white people-, but wo pect that ono white man is about ns good as anoth r, rogardlcss at loast of whore i'c was born. * The Brlco Bill Agllatlou. Tho most signiflotmt feature of the Domooratl oamp^ljcjr'ln this stato h..s boon tho tjt?lratl(Vn in f ivor of tho Brio* bjl] as Introduced in tho logisla yoar. H will bo roaiembsred rlkftfc the bill permitted iho counties to vt l?e dlsp n sari es out of existence; in short, it permittod the people to have Iocj! option a. I)"' ween the dispensary ?pTi'd p. (illicit on T, e bill became a law wiih nmendmonbi which fixod hea 'y pecuniary fines upon counties which cxiiioped tho audacity to voto aga.nst ti'o dispensary. It the 'OligjUes of York, Fairflold, Saluda, Chester and Horry as well as numoroos other! iogielative candidates have spokon generally in favor of tho original bill, and we lako It that an earnest effort will bo made, in the next gonoral assembly to repeal tho amend ments. There Is nothing in this to cause surprise. The simple truth is that the majority of our pooplo, in cluding probably four-fifths of tho couniry people, arc and havo always bcoii prohibitionists. They aro dot/dy religious pooplo and thoy hsvo iii/hoir hearts no toloration for tho WMisk \v trad,! whether conducted by State or individuals. [n i8P2 tho prohibition cause woo a decisive vie toiy at the polls, ou' of which tho peo ple were grossly bw in tied. In those days tho majority if ihe townspeople were In favor of high license. The ma jority of the country proplo in thi ir ln? tonsu devotion to Senator Tilln a ac ceptcd the dispensary idoa because ho fathered It. It is possible that even now, were ho to tako the stump iu Its favor, J[they would vote against tho Brlce idea rather than desert his In terests. Nevorthelass tho spontaneous uprising in so many counties for tho Brico bill, which in effect would mean prohibition, indicates that the people, temporarily ivl'oved ol Senator Hitman's Interference, havo swuDg back to their original prohibition faith. Tho sltuu tion merely Illustrates tho wonderful power which this man Till man wields by reason of his ability as a stump speaker. That ability is substantially all that Senator Tillman has, but here tofore it has proven amply sufliolont to maintain tho Tillman supro . acy. Sotno of the people in the eitios ami towns wore largely iulluenecd against the dispensary by their antagonism to Tillman and tho townspeople were not so generally opposed to the whiskey trade. Now it has come about that the dispensary has grown vastly In popu larity in tho towns and the 'owns as a rulo would vote to retain the dispen saries. In tho city of Columbia wboro a large rovenuo is derived directly and indirectly from tho dispensaries, tho moral institution Is Infinitely more pop lar than one would havo predicted ten yea'-s ago It ever could b?. As the sent ofthosta'o dispensary, with Its tri tuoudous volumo of business, Columbia has bad great gains. Such Industries as bottle factories and distilleries hive grown up In Columbia as a direct < IV sprlng of tho stato dlsponeary nnd the loss of the dispensary business would mean a far severer blow to the we .Ith and business of Cctumh'a thai the abolishing of the barrooms did in an In 1803 We bolievc that with So J a too Till man eliminated from tho situation, prohibition would rosttlt through locul option in every county in South ('no tion not containing a large town within two or throe years, lu this th > State would simply follow tho example of Georgia, Texas, Totincssoo and all tho Southern States, where whiskey has be?n ou'lawed from the rural countios. It remains to be toon how long tho commanding personal Influence' of Sena'or Tlllam will oontlnue potent to prevent the expression of the real will of the pcop'o. A little forethought mav save yo-i no end of trouble. Anyone who make i it a rulo to keep Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy at hand knows this to be a fact.
