The Augusta immigration
Gathering.
The

The Southern Immigration Conven-
ton meets in Augusta, Ca, on 3Oth
inst, and the Governors of Southern
States are expected to be present.
Many other officials and citizens will
attend. The railroad men will be
present. The question of immigration
for the South is to be discussed. 1t
will be like other bodies of the kind
that have been held from time to time.
It may do much good if wise views
prevail and a proper direction is given
for the enforcement of those views.
1t may eventuate in bringing into our
fruitful Southland many desirable
farmers-tbe kind of immigrants
mostly needed. The North aud North
west might send down several thousands
of it's tilIers Of the soil with much
advantage to the farmers and With
benefit to the South. Good lands can
be bought in the South at from
SIS to $40 an acre. and that is not
more than the interest that many
and Western farmers are pay
ing on the lands they till.
The South wants and needs men Of
farmers, aud sober, honest, we'll
disposed laborers in the various eallings
Of life. It does not need and will not
have if it can help it, Migrants and
wreckers-men of no industry and no
character-men who are restless and
dangesous-men like seme of the
importations that curse and
aflict and keep uneasy the great
section. Socialists, Anar-
destructives-these are pests to
and are as full of devil and
death as dynamite.
The twelve Of fourteen Southern
States ought to send 8 big delegasior to
Augusta. It is hoped the result of the
free interchange of opinion from men
in the several States will be to adopt
judicious, cautious. practical measures
some of the vast vacant lands
may be cultivated.

Senator Morgan on Finance,

Senator John T. Morgan, of Ala
bama, in defining bis position on silver
coinage, is to put it mildly a most
singular one, he does not even refer to
the national platform on this subject
but relies on two acts of Congress
passed in 1892 and 1887 when We had
free coinage because the intrinsic unit Of
value in the ratio of is to ! of both
metals was the same in the markets Of
the world. If the conditions and sur
roundings were the same, no democrat
could be found to raise his voice or
finger against the free coinage Of silver
now, since the silver in q silver dollar
would be worth its weightin gold as much
as the gold in a gold dollar, under such
circumstances it would be impossible
almost to have too much coinage Of
either metal. But the conditions and
surroundings are not the same, they
hsve changed somewhat in recent
years, the white metal has lost more
than half it's value and the financial
legislation on silver in the days of
Washington or Andrew Jackson would
no more 6t into the condition that now
confronts us than would the knee
breaches, silk stockings and silver
buckled shoes Of sixty or a hundred
years ago fit becomipgly the modern
statesmen who have to grapple with the
intricate questions Of modern, national
aud international 6oapce.

It is not often that a Legislature
enacts laws which legally accomplish
the very reverse of what they contem-
plated, but this seems to have been the
case in the pan-out Of the dispensary
law in South Carolina. The object of
this law was to give the State the ex-
elusive monopoly Of the liquor traffic
and now the Supreme Court unanimous
ly decides that there isn't any liquor
traffic at all, but that the State is abso-
lutely under prohibition, a prohibition,
however, which does not prohibit the
bibulous citizen from stocking his side
board or his cellar with approved
brands Of bug-juice from other States,
and hence the prohibition is simply
against the man who would like to put
up a ~dispensary Of his own and supply
customers by the drink or otherwise.
As the situation now is under this
decision, the business outlook for the
distilleries along the North Carolina
border is pretty good. Gov. Tillman is
quoted as saying that he will give the
decision his moral support, which means,
we suppose. that he will not counive
at the establishment Of "blind tigers
and that be will keep within the law by
importing his .'sperits," or helping to
destroy the residue of the dispensary
stock left on hand. Under this decis-
ion of the Court the State can't sell it =
