Are we Ready for Newcomers?
A recent issue of The Morning
Star, Wilmington, N C, carried an
editorial under the above caption,
which should be of vital interest to
all commercial bodies, land owners
and every public spirited citizen interested
in the development and settlement
of our undeveloped land;
and in the building of homes and
better farms in the South by a
sturdy agricultural type of people I
from the North, Middle West and
Canada.
Following is a liberal quotation
from the editorial mentioned, with
some variation:
The first thing that newcomers inquire
about is the health conditions
of the community which wants them
?8 citizens. Then they want to
know what the school and church
advantages are, that is, if they
are the right sort of men. Next
eornes an inquiry about the tax rate,
and then come those vital questions
of good roads, nearby markets and
m?i-aookinff thp metroDol
lilCllluca IU1 ivuvw..*B .? .
itan markets. Counties which cannot
answer these questions had better
get ready for them.
Are we ready for newcomers? Is
this particular county prepared for
settlers who do not belong to the
strictly pioneer class which goes to
a new country and hews its own
way? There are still some of that
kind of people but the are few. Most
people are not only looking for opportunities
but they want advantages
and facilities along with them.
We have plenty of opportunities
in South Carolina, but there are disadvantages
that must be cleared
away. There are advantages here,
of course, but there are other imperative
advantages that it is well
to provide as soon as we can do it.
We surely need newcomers to develop
this section, but we have to
prepare the way for their coming.
Each county in Eastern South
Carolina will have to make a survey

ticulars it is lacking in order to satisfy
new settlers. Many are coming
South all right, but they are not
coming just anywhere.
If some counties desired to advertise
their opportunities and advantages,
just what would they advertise?
Besides opportunities, what are their
inducements in the way of advantages?
One of the truisms in this edito-j
rial is?many are coming South al
right, but they are not coming just
anywhere.
In immigration work it is found
that almost every community is desirous
of securing settlers, but when
we ask about inducements we are
told of large areas of undrained and
uncleared land, or of a few desirable
farms on which a maximum price is
placed.
The inducements for immigration
are cheap lands, good transporta
tion, good water, good schools, '
good climate, etc. The price of
land has largely to do with the immigration
question.
In speaking of immigration I re
fer to our own people moving irom i
one section to another, and not to I
-.foreign immigration.
-No man should be encouraged to
- come from one community to an-1
other unless you believe the oppor- J
; tunities in the new section afford
?him a reasonable chance for making
'a success. A satisfied settler is
worth a hundred dissatisfied ones.
PeoDle get homesick. They are tak
en from an old community where
they know practically every man,
woman and child in the place, and
?0 into a community where they are
strangers. It depends a great deal
on the manner in which the immigrant
ia received, and how those who
went ahead of him have succeeded,
whether he likes the country or not.
If we really?want settlers let us
A.
I
i
i
ask ourselves this question. Is ou
anxiety for settlers strong enougl
to lead to the offering of any rea
inducements?
If we truthfully answer this ques
tion in the affirmative, I believe w
can, by active cooperation, achiev
success, and heap blessings upo
many families who now reside be
yond the boundaries of the "Nation'
Garden Spot."
A cow running at large on ou
streets last week was, we under
stand, the cause of a very painfu
accident to a little girl. Who is t<
blame?
Mexicans continue to murder Am
erican citizens with a relentles
hand while Carrnza and the Admir
istration at Woshington look on wit
apparent approval. Wonder how Ion,
the people of the United States ar
rroinc to nut ud with the attrocities s
frequently committed upon their fel
low countrymen by this neighborin;
nation of cut throats, thieves an
bandits.

J!! HOW YOU GET SICK
i
n l Sometimes you overload your
' stomach with rich foods. Your
? life may be an active one, and thus,
; you may care for all you eat. But
I a few days of inactivity show your
Ls system does not call for so much.
. You awake in the morning tired.
!t Your body feels heavy; you know
you are not up to the mark. Your
digestion has not cared for the
10 overload. Part of it remains. It
generates gas that inflames the
r- delicate linings. They fail to pour
f] out the digestive fluids and neglect
to absorb the life-giving el? n ents. I
ie You kun-.v something is w, ng. j I
Your, body gets weak, and soon I
n I opportunity is otrerea ior some oc
<? I ver? illnc-a. i
I Taken in time, the Indigestion I
n would not become serious. First re- I
move the overload: then soothe the I
sore membranes: then build up the
_ weakened body. It's simple to say,
? but not tooeasy todo. Youneedhelp.
A tonic that will quicken digestion.
help remove waste, soothe the
soreness and arouse the system?
that's Just what you need.
Peruna has an enviable record in
this respect. It has aided many
l- 1 thousands in the last century to
overcome just these conditions, and
thereby prevent serious sickness,
