gus, copied elsewhere, that twenty-five
families have just arrived in the neigh
borhood Of Jacksonville, Marshall county,
from South Carolina, is an example worth
noting. These families of prosecuted
white people have come IL the State by
the assistance of immigration agencies,
or citizens who have realized the neces-
sity Of accessions to our population from
that class The movement is dictated by
the highest consideration Of humanity
and public policy 1t is now evident that
the scheme of the federal Administration
TO Africanise South Carolina has entirely
succeeded. That unfortunate state Is
doomed to the anarchy and misgoyern-
ment of San Domingo and other " est
India communities that have suffered a
like fate. Her industry Is blighted. she
Is plunged into inextricable debt. The
process Of confiscation Is going on. And
the people Of the Caucasian race are the
doomed victims. The African influence
predominates over every other. Four
fifths of the present Legislature is com
posed Of that race In the next Legs
Iature, it will be worse. That element
has declared war against every other, and
retribution sure and swift-footed Is exc
cutting vengeance even on the mean white
adventures and scallawags who first
combined the blacks into race organi-
cation to rule and ruin the State.
With all intelligent South Carolinians
Of the hitherto governing class, this con
dition of things is painfully evident. 1t
is hoping against doom itself to expect
change for the better; and having lost
all, they must needs look elsewhere for
place Of refuge Our own State of Mis-
sissippi ought to do a vast deal in secur-
ing accessions from the prosecuted class.
We not only owe it to humanity we owe
it by a yet stronger motive-self-preser-
walton. There is no denying that Mis-
sissippi, like South Carolina, has been
marked for Authorization by the Radi
cal rulers They have set themselves
deliberately to work to accomplish this
object 1t has gone out that they have
determined that Ames, who was their
chief instrument in establishing local
carpet-bag misrule in 1870, shall be
elected Governor at the next term;
or some other equally facile tool for OBJ
tanning the end in view. His associate
on the ticket is to be Of the African race,
and is to succeed him in the Executive
chair as the present Acting Governor
succeeded Gov. Alcorn, who resigned it
to take his seat in the Senate. 1t is a
lamentable fact that the only recognized
competitor Of Ames is another carpet

idea of an African for Lieutenant-Gov.
ernor with prospective Gubernatorial
honors. Nothing could more palpably
show the purpose of the dominant
party to Danish white control from
the State entirely and to convert it
into an African colony, than the
election of a negro Commissioner of
Immigration. 1t is a part of the general
plan to Africanise the State VIII her
citizens, who have her welfare at heart,
and who have a proper sense of their own
peril, permit this scheme to be carried |
into execution without struggle to avert |
it? As we have said, South Carolina is
lost. Nothing but emigration
holds out prospect Of relief for her OPP
pressed classes. Loving liberty as they /
do, they will realize the fact as time
proves it; and dear as the home of their |
fathers is, they will be compelled to
abandon it and seek shelter elsewhere. |
The announcement which we have copied |
from our North Mississippi cotemporary
is lesson to be studied and acted upon
without moments loss of time. Let us
make hay while the sun shines.
