The society can promise with certainty to fill,
between the 18th of November, 1869, and the
18th of March, 1870. only the first five hundred

without fail. accompany the order, ls s25 Tor
single laborer and $50 for family.
The actual expenses of travelling from New
York to any point on the South Carolina and
Greenville and Columbia Railroad-$16 for a

from failure of the immigrant to embark, after
his passage has been paid, DC. This fund is
also for the purpose OF relmDurs1ng any en-
ployer who can satisfactorily show that labor
er has left him before he could refund the
money prepaid for his travelling expenses.

Ii the society fails to flll an order, it will re-
turn the money advanced, deducting only the

warded to other points, he must'appolnt some

ed to the subscriber.
The society pays tho travelling expenses only
to stations along the South Carolina and Green

pectations by making the immigrants any
promises, about the fulflment Of which there
can be any doubt, and thus avoid one great
cause of discomfort.
II is advisable. the society thinks, to place
the laborer at the very commencement OF his
service upon the very work he is to do, and to
see that be does 1t properly. This would do
much towards securing good and faithful
laborer.
