Immigration in tho District Of Newborry.


Immigration in tho District Of Newborry.
Immigration IN the District Of New.
berry has reached gratifying height.
The number ofimmiyrsnts for the month
Of November was 83, for December. .4s,
and il VIC include the 40 who oauo into
The district previous to tho Il of Novem.
bet, the result will show tho gratifying
number of 27immigron.s; in every re.
spect very good beginning fol the first
year.
If The visible increase Of immigration
on the one hand shows, that the society
i'm thi* place is succeeding IN removing
further and farther the prejudice, which
has hitherto been hindrancc IN the way
OF Immigration 10 tho Southern States,
the numerous applications Of farmers for
foreign 'aborers OF the other hand prove,
that the former prosperity cnn te re.
stored only by an increasing supply of
migrants and the working power
thereby introduced.
Ilavc rapidly accommodated themselves
to the new circumstances, and their per-
tor'nHnccs with very few exceptions, have
fully met tho demands upon them, so
thut both parties, employers and labor.
crs, have good reason to be content. Ii
Is not to be denied that the German i'm.
migrant especially, when he chooses the
South for the founding Of new home,
has to give up more Of tho habits aud
customs Of his old home, thun if ho were
to go to the Northern or Western States:
for, aside from the fact, that ho' finds
more Of his countrymcn in the latter, the
usual food and manner Of life are more in
accordance with those Of his native coun.
try. than they arc in the South If the
Southern farmer wishes to obtain tho
proper advantage from the immigrant,
It is absolutely necessary, that he make
few concessions, and that he do not
consider him, like tho negro, merely Il
rough working power. There must he
yirldingS on both sides. The Immigrant
must especially seek to adapt himself to
the new manner Of life as rapidly, as pos.
Sltlr, and the native must cndcavor to
make this task rs easily as possible to
him. Only in this way can the Just al
rantagcs of immigration be obtained in
the shortest possible time.
The immis grants, who hnve been Cor
some length Of time in the Sonlh. an.!
then prefer to so to tho North or West.
(|nch instances have not occurred in u,i,
District, but they have in otLv":,( rive,
a their reasons for SO doing, rarely hard
work or unfricndly treatment, la; most.
iy, that they could not become accus.
toned to tho fuod given to them, and
that they were assigned half ruined ne.
gro'hn'S rs dwellings. when these two
causes Of the discomfort OF immigrants
exist, they can in my opinion easily he
removed. The cost Of furnishing immi
grant" with s"od dwellings, would not be
great. as he uses arc usually built at the
S"nth an,l Ms to inol, il Is fresh meat
and coffee, to which they bavc been &C
cns,"med from youth; do tot deprive
them Of these all a! nee, Lu, let them
accustom themselves gradually TO the
prevalent fnud and manner Of life, and
you will bc richly rewarded for the slight
extra expense at first, by tho content,
greater activity aud working power Of
your laborcrs.
The undersigned will always cndcnvor
to impress upon the immig, ants the alb
solntc necessity and great Lcncfi, to them
selves Of leaving off many of their earlier
habits and customs, and of acco.nmo.
dnting themselves as rapidly rs possible
to the manner Of lie here prevalent; and
if farmers will ndd their cntlcavors, in
the manner indicated, am fully con.
vinccd, that this section will soon richly
reap The full advantages from immigra-
ton, which, by proper management can
be gained thcrefrom,
