Yes, We Want Immigrants.

Of the 375, 900 immigrants who landed
at New York last year it is said that
much less than the one hundrcdth part
came to the Southern States Only 1855
OF them came to South Carolina. The
Memphis Commercial makes the point
that sit is not altogether an unmixed
evil that the South has shared but little
of the great and increasing tide of for
egn inning ation," and this is very true.
We need more people in the South.
There is an empire here for development
and there are opportunities possessed by
no other section of this great country,
but If we would develop the South on
the right lines-if would preserve the
civilization Of the South and the homo
gently Of the Southern peoplc-it must
be accomplished by the proper regula-
ton of the people who are brought here.
1t is stated that colony of Waldsnses
have determined to establish settlement
ia western North Carolina, and they are
the kind Of people who are worth having;
we can well spare the pauper Immigrants
to the Northern States News and
Courier.

President to Have a Country Home.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The President
and Mrs. Cleveland are going to have a
home in the country as they did four
seaIs aga. BY tho end of the present
month it is expected that the Middleton
house on the Woodley lane road will be
ready for their occupancy.
The house is large ld-fashioned
structure, Ioomy, comfortable, and oc-
cupying an ideal location. 1t is nearer
the city than Oak View, which was the
homo of the President during his former
Administration.
The house stands on an elevated knoll
surrounded with fine old oaks. 1t is
some distance back from the road, and
commands an extended view of the roll
ing country to the north, perhaps the
most striking and picturesque section of
the famous Rock Creek region. From
the windows there is one of the most
charming and striking views of the city
to be found in this vicinity.
In every way the house is larger than
the oae at Oak View. There are some
thirty acres of laud about the house, and
if Mr.. Cleveland is inclined to agricul-
tural pursu is he can have ample swing
for his fancy in this direction.

With oil the warmth of eulogy the
story Of our wonderful progress has been
told again and again, but only few ref.
serences have been made to the abnormal
growth of what may be termed the
criminal class, states the Washington
Star. Forty years ago there was but one
criminal to $500 good or reasonably
good citizens. In 1890 the proportion
was one in 1865; an increase of AS per
cent. In period during which the popu.
lation increased but 170 per cent. Never
in the Nations history has educative
work of all descriptions been nearly 50
active as for ten years past, yet In that
time the increase in the number OF those
who were confined in penitentiaries and
jails and reformatory institutions was al.
most twice as rapid as the speed Of popu-
lative growth. Comparisons with con-
ditions In Great Britain are far from
encouraging, for there the number Of
criminal convictions has decreased while
the population and the general prosperity
have increased.

erals will be placed. Under this ledge,
will rise wall of rock phosphate col
lected from different points of produc-
tion. Above the ledge are three shelves
which will hold several hundred glass
jars in which various minerals, in both q

degree is the way the Coroncr's jury
defiu es the killing of Matte Moore by

Alma Wooten remained in hiding
while her victim continued to grow
worse. Matte Moore died, and when
Alma heard Of it she gave herself up.
She says that Matte Moore told lies on
her and she warned her that if che didn't
quit she would kill her. She says. how
ever, that she did not intend killing her
when she fired the shot.
