CHINESE LABOR FOR THEEOUTH
From the Report OF Committee on
chinese Labor to the South Caro-

Your committee arc Of tho opinion that the
introduction Of Chinese labor would bo OF
great benefit to q large portion Of South
Carolina. In the lower part OF the State
and on the islands, where Iice and long cotton
arc cultivated, and where it is supposed white
labor cannot be permanently or profitably en-
ployed. it would seem to bo a great acquisi-
hon. The Chinaman is reported to enjoy al-
most perfect health On the low river lands in
the most unhealthy regions Of the South and
Southwest Chinese labor is not an experi-
imeut, because in Louisiana it has been tried
faction OF those who hare procured it. It
is Important, however, that this labor
shnnld ha ,roGrred from the rural districts,
since tbs labor brought from tho seaport
towns is likely to be very much dernorailzed,
and not likely to give satisfaction. The
Chinese lAborer has shown himBe1 industrious,
frugal, obedient, and attentive to the interest
Of Els ernployer. He is By nature mild and
pacific His shrewdness and wonderful lulta-
tive powers enable him readily to acquire the
ucccasa1y information, and to perform with
facility every kind OF farm 1abor. We
think TINT the Chinaman cannot be surpassed,
either as servant or laboler, by any othor,
whether you place him in the house, the gar
den, the field, the workshop, or on the rail-
road. It Is gratifying to be able to report, on
reliable information, that the Chinese laborer
can be brought into our State at price within
the means OF most Of our planters-say at m
EXPENSE Of not moro than S125 per head, the
whole OF greater part of which would be re-
