The Barnwell Sentinel, comm entine
upon the immigration Of a large par,
ty of young men from Charleston to
Venezuela, makes the following prac.
tical and sensible suggestion to those
who are desirous Of leaving the cities
and who really desire employment
~ IL savs. i'"' Hhsorirur = = ,..a
If the young men of our citieslao
employment they can find it in the
country. Let them launch out into
the interior Of the State, begin plant
ling on q small scale, or, if possible
form o colony for the cultivation Of
some large plantation, which can be
had in almost any section Of the State,
az there arc thousands Of acres lyips
idle'for wnnt of capital and labor. Ii
is sud reflection to us that the young
men who constitute the hope Of oul
country should be foroedpb by necessity
to abandon tho State of their birth t
try their fortunes in foreign land.
