WHITE INMfNE.iTION.
Somc Valuable Suggestions as to Organized
Efforts,

Nessrs. Editors: White immigration
is, we all admit, our only salvation; as
we cannot Increase The white race
rapidly enough by natural laws to
meet the necessities Of our situation.
Immigration should be encouraged by
every so od citizen. The time has come
and the tide has commenced to roll the
stream to our honcs--to bring to us Il
race of people with pure white blood
III their vcins--to help us to build up
our waste places and develop the re-
sources Of our land. 1t is true that
the means at the command Of Colonel
Butler is limited, but he is to be much
commended for what he has done, and
we should do all III our power to aid
him. All cannot be done BIZ hired sud
paid agents. Those Interested, and we
all are, should lend helping hand
ana give such volunteer assistance us
can be rendered. At present the best
thing to do, perhaps, would be to have
public meetings at each Court House
and appoint n committee in each coun-
ty consisting of one or moro of the
Ver! best citi3clls in each township.
which committee should select Il cen
tral or executive committee at each
Court House for the purpose Of aiding
the commissioner.
The executive committee should re-
ceive and care for immigrants arriving
uhtll tney procure employment. Such
Immigrants might be consigned direct
to them by the commissioner without
stopping over in Columbia.
2. TO see that immigrants arc en-
ployed by proper parties, to advise
them and to aid them in procuring the
best wages and the best homes.
.. The committee at large should
stand pledged to advise these strangers
arriving amongst us, and especially
those not speaking ouv language, and
to Interfere and protect them in cnen
Hf ''-..ifes. inPooitiou.
4. Applicants for Immigrants should
be expected to pay the expenses of
such immigrants as they employ while
awaiting employment after their ar-
rival; and preference should be given
TO those employers who would refund
the passage money from New York to
Columbia, as this would much increase
the number Of arrivals.
O.. Tue county executive committee
might keep register Of lands for sale
or icnt, together with the names of
parties applying for hired help and
rates OF wages offered.
If such committees were organized
they would readily DO recognized bv
Colonel Butler who could supply each
Immigrant going to such county with
the names OF these committeeman,
written IN the characters Of the irn1uis
grants own language, also with q note
stating that the Immigrant is at liberty
to apply to such committeeman fornd-
vice. BY the way, the commissioner
should supply the Germans, on first
arrival, with q card containinS few
hundred worto. in German with Eng
lish translation opposite, so as TO cn1-
ble them to live tin they learn more
English. Such books or tables are
found all over Europe.
And lastly Of all, it should be the
duty OF such committee to SEQ that
newly arrived Immigrants promptly
take ont naturalization papers, and
more important still, this committee
should make it an especial care to in-
slruct these newcomers as to the
relative status of the two races here,
ana 70 SNOW them that they can re-
main white and be white among white
men, or descend to tho level of the
negro, and become lower and blacker
than negro amongst negroes.
Let us be understood by the terms
'Immlgrant,' "citizen' and sour pco-
ple.' We refer to the white race ONLY.
The negro has no interest in this mat
ter, save that the head Of this column
OF W hite immigration means to him
the beginning Of his end; and be it so.
