on The immigration Question and

Editor Intelligencer: Permit me
space in your paper to correct q misap-
| prehenslOn on the part of some very
good people as to my position on immi-
| grafton
have said from the beginning that
All utterly opposed to inviting into
our state the pauper labor Of Europe.
There ls no man who ia more opposed
man to any effort to bring into this
pete with our laboring people. | will
oppose with all my might any effort,
should any effort be made, to appro-
pirate any money Tor the purpose of
paying any part of the expenses in
bringing such people here On the
contrary, would cheerfully vote, if
needs be,. an appropriation to keep this
| CLASS OF immigrants out OF our State.
/, however. welcome any and every
| effort to induce bona tide settlers from
| other States OF our country and from
tho Saxon races of Europe, who have
means, TO come among us, at their own
expense, and buy up and improve the
waste and uncultivated lands of this
State. ] am in favor OF exploiting
and advertising to the world the won
| lcrful resources of South Carolina for
agriculture, manufactures and com
merce, | would invite home buyers
invite these men who have the means
to come and engage in manufacturing
or different kinds, and also the agri-
cu!tnrst or farmer, who will come and
buy lands and engage in the raising of
such crops as are not grown by our
people.
These, and tn % only, are the classes
of people ''hcm would invite. | wish
the building of more cotton mills and
more manufactu..s cf every kind.
This means moro renumerative and
productive employ ,nent for our labor
ing people. l wAh diversified agri-
culture, fruit growing and cattle rails
ing on large scale. All efforts of the
department of agriculture, commerce
and Immigration, made for this pur
pose. | will cordially support, but will
fight TO the bitter end all efforts to
Introduce pauper labor here. 1t is not
to the interests of either the manufac-
turer or the mill employees that we
should introduce into their midst the
cheap labor of Europe. A careful
reading of the Act of the General AS
sembly OF South Carolina. passed at it's
last session, will convince any intelli-
gent person that it was never the in
tentiOn of the General Assembly to in-
vite or assist in any way pauper labor
into this State.
This, Mr. Editor, is my position, and
1t Is the same position taken by me in
every deliverance that have made ON
this subject. 1t is passing strange that
some people will persist in either hon,
estly misunderstanding this position or
else in wilfully misreprtsenting it.

ADULTERANTs IN LEATHER.
Practice of Tanners In Australia That
Z Seriously Inturins
the Businaas.

The statement was recently made
in the Telegraph Of Sydney. New
South Wales, that the trade in leath-
er in that colony is threatened With
extinction on account OF the practice
among tanners there Of poisoning
their leather for the purpose OF CIV
ing It weight. though In doing 30 they
render the leather almost valueless.
To prove this 1t Is quoted that the
annual value Of the exports Of leather
at one house in Sydney has fallen
from 100000 down to $4,000 in the
last IL months. The same authority
says that London merchants hesitate
to order leather from New South
Wales for fear that they should obtain
this adulterated and unsuitable leather.
Il is also charged that the tanners
who use this compound do It for the
purpose of obtaining unfair profits,
knowing the effect Of the chemical
used on the leather. The adulterant
used, according to the Telegraph. IL
known as "normissa." q saltlike sub
stance. In side weighing. say, Is
pounds, q tanner will work in from
two to 1--WE pounds Of normissA which
costs about one-tenth Of the price OBJ
tanned for the leather.
