THE CAROLINA EMIGRANTS.
Colored People Induced to Go to Other
States to Better Their Condition.

-Four more car loads of colored emigrants
from upper South Carolina and North Caro-
lima passed through Columbia Saturday after
noon, all bound for the southwest. The col
ored people give as their reasons for leaving
their Carolina homes the poor crops that have
been raised for the last few years and the
scarcity of money. This emigration is profit
able chiefly to the railroad Labor on the
large cotton plantations in Louisiana, Mississ-
ippi, Arkansas and Texas is very scarce. There
is an immense amount of land that lies idle for
want OF hands to cultivate it. The railroad
authorities sent an agent among the western
planters to find how many hands are wanted.
The planters agree to take certain number Of
hands and place with the railroad money suffi-
Gent to pay their travelling expenses, the
amount to be returned by the emigrant in work
before he receives any wages. The railroad
agent then goes to North or South Carolina as
the most fruitful field in which to ply his vo-
cation. Last year the farmers tried to stop the
emigration. This year, however. they are en-
couraging the colored people to leave.

exercises, whichconsisted of singing. led by an
orchestra of eighteen pieces, prayers led by
Postmaster General Wanamaker and Bible
studies led by the several teachers. When Mr.
Wanamaker had finished the lesson with his
class of four hundred in his room he came out
on the main platform TO give the pupils of the
Sunday school a talk on "How to start the New

He said the chief thing was to build up n
foundation at once that would bear all weight
of trouble and perplexity for years to come
In speaking of adaptation of building and Of

of the American line of steamers that once

trade and, therefore, were not successful as
such carriers. and naturally adjusted them
