ONION, S. C., OCTOBER 13. 1905.
THE AUTOMOBILE.
It is the startling ami alarming
histon of the automobile since it
was first invented, that it is an infernal
machine, better calculated to
cause death and disaster, frighten
animals and afford loss pleasure,
comfort and convenience and facilitate
travel than any other thing ever
designed for the purpose of travel
in' r-n\iil tivinsit It w!i?j orinrinnllv
built for tin* rich fad fanciers who
had no use for his money, (Mr.
Hyde of the Equitable for instance, 1
and has never ceased to he a nuisance
in a community of sober,
well balanced minded people. There
is absolutely no beauty in any one
of these machines that has ever
been built. These machines are
b.'tter suited to travel through the
streets of some large city where the
horses are accustomed to meeting
fright fid objects, hut no where else.
The motor bicycle is almost as bad
8} far as frightening animals is concerned.
The introduction of an
automobile heralds the coming to
pass of more serious accidents by
moving objects than any other one
cause can he credited with. The
automobile is not in our way, but
for the safety of the community
great precautions should he observed.
UNJUST CRITICISM.

comment and criticism upon
the troubles of the Cnion and Jluffalo
Cotton Mills, so far as their
power of exaggeration could go to
cripple these industries. With

ilaming. Haunting, sensational announcements
such as the "Duncan
mills Hooded with debts," "live

"Mr. Duncan plunging," all of
which was without foundation, in
fact; but these papers seem to catch
at every Heating rumor, magnify
and enlarge upon to such an extent
as to mislead as to the; true em d tion

joy were these statements and editorials
penned, no attempt being
made to conceal the real pleasure it
gave the writer. The tirecnville
News took Col. Duncan to task

to sell to the Greenville mills all of
their cotton at the prices fixed hy a

speaking of the former president of
these mills, it is evident that tin
opportunity allorded by the troubl*
was gladly seized to say something
detrimental of the president. It is
always advisable first to get the true
and authentie facts before giving
out anything to the public. At
this day and time truth travels verj
slowly, and is as sadly unappreciated
as a prosy recital; .therefon

taste of the common rabble
rather than to the better class of
readers.
UNWELCOME IMMIGRANTS.
Insufficient ami inefficient attention
lias hitherto been given by the
proper authorities to foreign immigration
to our land of liberty, free
speech and easy living. We have
in our feeble way sounded a note of
warning upon the question of immigrants
from foreign lands. Most
notably has the influx of the unwelcome
and undesirable class of
immigrants increased during the
war between Russia and Japan.
Smart enough was this class to take
advantage of the disturbance in the
Ivast when there was less vigilance
on the part of all nations as to the
departures and arrivals of citizens.
Not only did this class take advantage
of this opportunity offered by
the war, but also caught on to graft
being practiced by the officers who
were entrusted with the duty of enforcing
the law with reference to
immigrants to the I'nited States,
the deals marie in naturalization
papers, for a few dollars any foreigner
could get in, by which means
those who by our laws are excluded
from our shores have doubled any
other class.
Mr. Brandenhcrg of New York
says:
In this brief article I wish particularly
to summarize some known
11?mas. /J J V,' vw IH wr?-w w< 1 j>
of my recent investigations. With
hut twelve million foreign-born out
of eighty million i>eoplo in the
I'nited States, in round numbers,
more than half of the objects of
charity are aliens by birth. At
present immigration is responsible
for seventy-four per cent in the increase
in population, and ninetylive
per cent of the beggars rounded
up on the streets in Philadelphia
were found to he aliens. Nothing
more need be said to command the
alert attention of honest charity.
Last winter when the steerage
rate war was on, the greatest masses
of scrap material for nation building
reached this country that were
ever loaded upon a good-natured
government. Hut they, as a first
effect, were as nothing to the greater
effect of that rate war, and Roosevclt's
election, combined with the
llusso-.Japanese struggle. A mighty
impetus was given to a hotly of
millions of immigrants who have
not as yet begun to arrive. For
years they have been intending to
come to America, hut the rate war,
Roosevelt's election and the troubles
in Russia have precipitated them,
and they would he swelling the tide
this very minute if the rise in rates
ar.d the absolute refusal of subagents
to sell tickets to less desirable
persons until the annual rush of
Italians is over, had not temporarily
checked them. By the same,
process of calculation based on information
from foreign cc rrespondents,
which allowed me to predict
last fall that this year's immigration
would run to a million, a statement
generally ridiculed at the time
1 ut verified since, I am convinced
that there is going to be a heavy

we linvc ever received, with a sustaining
of the winter trailie and
another big year in HKHi if industrial
prosperity in tie; I'nited States
continues.
First I should state what I mean
hy a "good" or "poor" immigrant.
An immigrant is more or less good
according to his or her ability and
willingness to earn his or her own
living, now or in the future, and
oliey the laws. That covers the
whole case. That shuts out the
criminal, diseased, physically and
mentally deficient, immoral and
j politically undesirable classes.
Every |x>or immigrant is sooner or
later, directly or indirectly, certain
to become a charge upon society.
While two-thirds of our national
material resources remain undeveloped
there should lie no thought
of shutting out good immigrants
who are willing to assist in the development
of them.

The cotton market was quite
lively the lirst part of last week
while the price was ten cents but
when it dropped below ten cents
the selling was in a measure cut.
short. I made a drive of nine miles
through the country today and I
was surprised to see so much open
cotton in the fields. Some fields
had never been picked and in most
farms the cotton was letter than 1
expected to see it and much of the
corn was fine and the pea vine crop |
was never l)etter. After all the

evident to an impartial and hopeful
observer that there is a living in
the land and no eause for complaint.
Mr. T. M. Littlejohn has lx>ught

Strong and Eloquent Sermon.
Last Sunday morning at the First
Presbyterian church l)r. A. G.
Wardlaw, pastor, delivered one of
the most eloquent and powerful
sermons that has ever been heard |
irom the sacred desk. His text)
was from Mathew, Kith chapter,!
1 Sth verse: ''And I say unto you, j
That thou art Peter, and upon this
roc k I will build my church, and
the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it." Upon this assertion
rests the hopes and assurance of
the. establishment of the Christian
church and the foundation of the
kingdom of God on earth, evolving
from the church militant to the
church triumphant. The subject
being the true church, Dr, Wardlaw
said in part: "The church is
an organization with delegated
power in which the pure word of
God is preached and the sacraments
duly administered. Christ is the
head of the church. In the synoptists
the idea of a kingdom is clearly
presented the greatest good to the
greatest number. In the gospel of
John the chief conception is that of
the greatest good to the individual,
that is eternal life. In the militant
church there must be a government,
a visible kingdom. All government
depends upon three things. First,
| Unity of purpose. Second, Fure
j administration, which includes
pure ministry, righteous discipline
and pure church membership.
Third, Loyalty to the King. Ix>yal
subjects, such as will not desert the
cause, even though called upon to
make sacrifices. It was sacrifices
that the Christ established his kingdom.
The church's success depends
on the vigorous preaching of the
word, the sirnnle truth it. i? in
Christ Jesus. The church will triumph
because truth is indestructible.
Right will not always lie 011
the scaffold and wrong on the
throne. The walls of Zion shall
stand forever. The 'gates of hell
shall not prevail against it."
Each of the foregoing points were j
most beautifully, forcibly and convincingly
elaborated upon. He
soared among the stars, heaven's
literature, who arc ever eloquent in
their appeal to man for the worship
of their creator. The establishment
of Cod's kingdom on earth through
the instrumentality of the church
militant as founded by Christ when I
he said, "Itik>u this roek I will ]
build my church and the gates of
hell shall not provail against it." |
