NEWBERRY MIGRATION SOCIETY.
IMPORTANT CIRCULAR.


The Immigration Society Of Newb"rry

tanned. The society Can promise with
certainty tt fill. between the 18th of No
yrmber, 1860, and the 18th of March,
1870, only the first 800 orders; therefore
it hehooves those who really desire to
obtain laborcrs to send their orders as
soon as possible.
The. money, TO be advanced, which
must, without fail. accompany the order,
is twenty five dollars for "A family.
The actual expenses of travelling from
New York to any'point on the South
Carolina and rhe Grcenville and C"lum-
bia Railroads-sixteen dollars for grown
persons, eight dollars for children be-
tween three and twelve years old. (no-
thing for clildron under three years)-
will be paid from the wages Of the im-
migrant.
The society will charge, for contin-
gent expenses, four dollars for single
laburer, aud six dollars for a family
Besides this, the society will set aside
from the money advanced five dollars
from each order-whether for a single
laborer or family-to establish iurd
to secure from l"ss, resulting from fail
ure of the immi grant to embark, after
his passage has been paid, &c. This
fund is also for the purpose of r"inburs-
ing any employer who can satisfactorily
show that lahorer has left him b fore
he could refund the money prepaid for
his travelling expenses. The rontribu-
ton for contingent expenses is not ILL.,
cluded in this fund
Any amount Of the fund remaining
at the end of the year 1870, will he re-
turned to employers in proportion to
what they have paid.
The contingent expenses and the con-
tribution for the fund against losses,
which the society might sustain, must
be paid by the employer aud not be de-
quoted from the wages Of the emplyee.
If the society fails to FL an order, 1t
will return the money advanced, deduct
ing only the postage.
The society has appointed agents on
" at Charleston, Columbia ard New
berry if, however, the orderer desires
immigrants to be forwarded to other
points, he must appoint some one at
such place to take charge of them, and
the name of such person must be COM
municated to the subscriber.

penses only at stations along the South

WARNING TO AIorHERs.-On Il

WARyiNG TO MoTHERs.-On the
4th instant, Mrs. Baxter, who lives four
miles east Rock Hill, was washing at q
spring on the premises, accompanied by
two small children. These wandered
off in their playing, and the younger, a.
bout three years old, got lost about .
o'clock in the morning. The parents
began to search for their little one as
soon as it was missed, but not being snc-
ccssful, they called in the assistance OF
their neighbors. The search was con-
rinued all the day, and it was not until
6 o'clo"k in the evening that the foot
prints ofthe child were discovered. a
mile or so from lone. 1t was finally
found at Mr.. G. Benefits, about two
and half miles from the Catawba river,
on the Patton's Ferry road. Tho atten-
tinn of Mr. BENEFITS family had been
called to the little wanderer, by its cries
as it came along the road, and the bark
ing of their dogs. They at once took
the child IN, and cared for it until de-
livrred into the arms of its agonized
mother. 1t must have walked FIVE or
six miles before it was found.

BETTY NECK, Sept. 2l, 1869.
Mr.. Editor Il take the liberty of
sending you for publication letter from
Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, on the cultivation
of oats, rye, barley and wheat. 1t is
in response to enqniries on the subject.
I was especially anxious to learn some
thing of barley from one who had grown
it successfully in South Carolina. Pro-
per attention to small grain-oats and
barley in particular-will relieve, to a
great degree, the dearth of corn, 10
which upland farmers are subjected,
almost every year, for ours is poor
corn country.
Col. Aiken speaks from experience.
lie is practical farmer, of enlarged
views, and fully alive to the progressive
ness of the age. As we are all Of US
desirous of acquiring information on
agricultural subjects from every quarter,
| feel that it is no intrusion to present
his letter on this most important item
to the farmers of this county. 1t is an
ampli6cation of the one which recently
appeared in the Charleston Daily Neus.
Yours Respectfully,

dug only as they were used. Vegetables
can be raised during most of the year;
our usual plan for cabbage, is to SOW
the last of October and set out the
plants as soon as large enough, and we
have cabbage in February and March,
as firm and large as are raised in the
mountain country Game, such as deer,
bear and turkey is abundant; the deer
can be seen in droves from Is to 20
at a sight, the lakes furnish fLe trout,
and perch. Another thing in reference
to this county or section, is that it is
emphatically white mans country;
there are but few negroes and those
who are here behave themselves well;
this scarcity, however, produces one
difficulty. Laborcrs are hard to be got,
and there is plenty to do at fair wages,
for those who are willing to work.
This ncghborhood is quiet, peaceable
aud honest; I think in a circuit of four
teens miles there are sixty families, and
I doubt if dozen locks can be found
upon corn cribs, smoke houses, or sugar

dist preaching several times month,
also, a Masonic Lodge, Sunday and day
schools. Stores are convenient, and
goods can be purchased at reasonable
prices; corn is SITS per bushel, bacon
25 cents per pound, good flour $3.50
per barrel The country is well watered
by clear water lakes, from tw, acres to
those of larger size; there are but few
running streams; We have steamers rum

The wages Of the immigrants will be

sents to a reductions:
FIELD LABORERs.
lst. Single laborer-Sl0 mnnthly.
with board, lodging and washing. (Not
required to do his 'cooking.)
I'd. Families--For man SO monthly;
for working woman S., with provisions.
The employer can either have the cook
ing done, or he can give them rations
and allow the wife time to cook.
The following rations have been
proven by last years experience to be
sufficient for man: Six quarts corn
meal, three and half pounds wheat
-four, three and half pounds meat, hall
pound coffee, one and half quarts mo-
lasscs week, and some milk daily
Fer a woman: Four quarts corn meal,
two pounds wheat -four, two pounds

Should the employer prefer giving
the family money with which to procure
provisions the amount fixed up"n Is
about six d lns and fifty cents me tn
for man, and four dollars for woman,
with a small garden, which must be
worked only in spare time.
Children, capable of work, must br
paid according to their services; and the
wages must be arranged between the
employer aid their parents.
All persons desiring mechanics must
define what wages and conditions they
are willing to enter into with employees.
Unless differently expressed III the

themselves engaged until Christmas

The immigrant, in cases Of disagree.
meut with his employer shall always be
allowed to make lis appeal to the the So
ciety, which, if the complaint is well
founded and cannot be adjusted, will
proceed to obtain him another place.
Employers would do we'll not to excite
expectations by ,Iaking the immigrants
any promises, about the ful6illment of
which there can be any doubt, and thus
avoid one great cause Of discontent'
1t is advisable, the society thinks. TO
place the laborer at the very commence

he is to do, and see that he does it
properly. This would do much towards
Securing a good and faithful laborer.
