WHITE LABOR IN South CAROLINA
The Agricultural and Mechanical Society Of
South Carolina seem determined to intro
duce reliabfe. labor into the State, and ac-
~cordingly we find that one of the most gi-
gantic enterprises ever undertaken in the
South is now on foot in Charleston. As
will be seen by an advertisement in another
column, an immigration Association has
been organized fortthe purpose of securing
settlers upon their lands, and in order to
raise the necessarily large capital required,
they have adopted the expedient Of a
s~eriesof Gift Concerts, to begin in Charles
ton in October; the ticket holders Of
which will be participants in the grandest
opportunity ever offered to become rich at
a small risk and with a clear conscience.
The number of Tickets issued is $50, 1000, and
the price is five dollars each.
The first prize is the Academy of Music,
including stores, music halls, &C., built at a
cost of 230, 900. The second prize is one hun
dred thousand dollars in cash the third is
twenty-five thousand dollars ; the fourth is
ten thousand dollars, and the fifth is five
thousand dollars besides which, there are
twenty-four hundred gifts, varying from
ten to one thousand dollars. The scheme
has the unqualified endorsement Of the best
citizens of South Carolina-men known in
all parts of the United States.
Generals Butler and Gary were both distin-
euished officers in the Confederate service,
the former having lost a leg at Brandy STA
ton, one of the most holly contested cavalry
fights of the war. Both belong to old families
in Carolina, and have been doing their best
since the war to restore peace in their State
under the United States Government, Gen.
Butler having been a candidate for Lieute-
nant Governor under the Reform party,
which acknowledged the political equality
of the races.
The publisher of this paper is authorized
to act as Agent for the Association, and will
forward the money Of any Of Dur readers
desiring tickets.
