He Got Her.

Doc" Brown Of Morgansheld. Ky,
who represents his district in the
State Legislature, is one OF kentueky'S
UNIQUE characters. To Illustrate a
point In a recent speech he gave the
following account Of his courtshlp:
Take my advice and never give a
woman anything she can't eat and
never make love to her out of an ink
bottle. Why, when l courted my
wife l just grabbed hold Of her and
said: 'Sallie. you are the sweetest
thing on earth and your beauty battles
the skill of man and subdues his fero-
cious nature and got her"

SEOT HIM DEAD
The Conductors Life Saved by One
of the Crew,
of the Crew.

of the Crew.
A special dispatch from Rock Hill
to The State says: Cisely Rodman
was accounted by his color and the po-
lice as about the worst negro in these
parts. He was wanted here on sever
al charges and the officers have been
hunting for him for a month or more.
Friday night last they searched six
houses for him. Last night he board
ed, at Charlotte, an empty car on the
freight train which reaches here at l
o'clock. He was put off several times
en- route, but managed to get back
somehow. Some time between Fort
Mill and this place he was seen again
but was left alone until the train
reached Rock Hill. When they got to
the yards the crew went to the car
to eject him. at that time there were
two other beats in the car and Cisely
had made his threat that he would
ride that train to Chester''-he was
going to the circus" or kill the
whole damn crew." When Conductor
Trapier called him out he had some
trouble to get him to obey and when
he did hit the ground he was drawing
his gun. Mr.. Henry Lloyd, one OF
the trainmen, saw the action and was
too quick for the negro. Lloyd shot
him under the arm while it was rails
ed to shoot the conductor. He died
instantly. Officers jenkins and Mil
ler were at the train looking for blind
booze and were in so yards of the
scene. The crew was held for the in
quest, which was held here today.
The evidence was substantially as
above and Lloyd was exonerated.
LLOYD is from Savannah, and every
one who heard the evidence felt that
he only did his duty. Rodman is
without friends here. His mother is
working in New York and he has been
such character as to ALLEVIATE all who
would naturally feel interested in him.
The negroes seem to feel that he
deserved what he got and no one
claimed his body for burial.

NEW CITIZENS.
Interesting Figures Published by the
immigration Commissioner.
THOUSANDS OF THEM COME.
More Than Twice as Many Males as
Females Landed Last Year
on Our Shores.

The annual report of the commits
sioner Of immigration was made pub
lie recently. 1t shows that Of the
64S.I43 Immigrants who arrived in
the United States during the last fs-
cal year were 466. 1863 males and 1872
3I4 females. OF the entire number OF
arrivals, Italy supplied 1888, an in
crease OF 42,379 over the number for
1901: AuStria-Hungary, III, ,SS9, an
| increase Of 5S, and Russia, l07, ,34I,
an increase OF p 2,090.
| Most European countries showed an
increase, but there was falling off in
the arrivals from Ireland, amounting
to ! ,423, the total from that country
being %, ,13S. The figures concerning
Asiatic Immigration show decrease
from China OF $40, the total being
l,649, and an increase from Japan OF
9,00l, the total being 1920, or l?0
per cent. OF thesentire number 162,
1SS were unable to read or write, but
1908 were under II years Of age.
Commenting upon this circumstance
Commissioner Sargent says: 1t can
be roughly estimated from the forego-
ing figures how effective in excluding
aliens would be reading test. such
as that proposed during the recent ses-
sion of congress which would not be
applied to children under Is and
adults over So"
The total number of aliens refused
permission to land was 4,974, or about
tWo-thirdS Of per cent. OF the total.
arrivals. OF these 1874 were paupers,
100 had loathsome diseases, 80 were
convicts and 129 were contract labor
ers. Reference is made to the alien
contract labor bill pending in the SEN
ate and the commissioner expressed
the hope that it may pass during the
next session Of congress.
Mr.. Sargent finds that the sanguine
view expressed in the last annual re-
port of the bureau as to the effect Of
careful examination by the United
States marine hospital surgeons upon
the transportationS bringing diseased
aliens to American ports has not been
confirmed by the experience of the
past year. Speaking of the enforce
ment Of the Chinese exclusion laws,
Mr.. Sargent says many obstacles have
been encountered.
THE chief distractions" he says,
to the efficient enforcement of the
law arises on the one hand from the
unscrupulouS character of some Amer
ican citizens and others who finda
large profit in smuggling Chinese OF
the excluded classes across our land
boundaries, and on the other from the
constant interference Of those Jealous
persons in our own country whose con-
sciousneSs Of their own exalted pur-
poses in relation to the moral amend
ment of the Chinese appears to them
ample justification some times for dis
regard Of the law and often for the
endeayor to have its provisions WalV-
ed as unimportant in comparison with
their own designs"
