The BrIcn Ri Agitation.

The most significant feature OF the
Democratic Campaign in this State
has been the agitation in favor of the
Brice bill as introduced in tho legisla-
tHPe1ast year. II will be re rendered
.~tAa5 the bill permitted The counties to
vote ~dispansaries out OF existence; in
Short IL permitted the people to have
local option as between the dispenssry
aAd prohibition TIE bill became q
Flaw with amendments which fixed
heavy pecunIa5y fines upon counties
which cXn,Dlted the ~aulacity to vote
against tne Iispensary.
IL the Counties of York, Fairfield.
Saluda, Chester and Horny as well as
numerous others legislative candidates
have spoken generally in favor of the
original bill, and we take 1t that an
earnest effort will be made, in the next
general assembly to repeal the amend
ments. There is nothing in this to
cause surprise. The simple truth is
that the majority of our people, in
Guiding probably four-ffths of the
country people, are and have al gavs
been prohibitionists. They are
deeply religious people and they have
inHheir hearts no federation for the
wViskey trade whether conducted by
tHb State or individuals. In 1892 the
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1904-08-31

prohibition cause won q decisive VIC
tory at the polls, on, OF which the peo-
pie were grossly swipd ed. In those
days the majority .f the townspeople
were In favor of high license. The ma
jority of the country people ia th,ir I'M
tense devotion to Senator Tillmao.a c
copied the dispensary idea because he
fathered it. 1t is possible that even
now, were he to take the stump in its
favor, ithey would vote against the
Brice idea rather than desert his in
! terests. Nevertheless the spontaneous
uprising in so many counties for the
Brice bill, which in effect would mean
prohibition, indicates that the
people, temporarily relieved of
Senator Tillman's interference,
have swung back to their
original prohibition faith. The situa
ton merely illustrates the wonderful
power which this man Tillman yields
by reason of his ability as n stump
speaker. That ability is substantially
all that Senator Tillman has, but here
tofore it has proven amply sufficient TO
maintain the Tillman supremacy.
Some of the people In the cities and
towns were largely influenced against
the %dispensary by their autagonism to
Tillman and the townspeople were not
SO generally opposed to the whiskey
trade. Now it has come about that the
dispensary has grown vastly in popu-
larity in the towns and the towns as Il
rule would vote to retain the dispen-
saries. In the city of Columbia where
a large evenu is derived directly and
indirectly from the dispensaries, the
moral institution Is infinitely more pop
lar than one would have predicted ten
| years ago 1t eve could be. AS the seat
of the sta'e dispensary, with its TIRE
mendous volume of business, Columbia
has bad great gains. Such Industries
as bottle factories and distilleries have
| grown up in Columbia as q direct on
spring of the state dispensary and the
loss of the ~dispensary business would
mean a far severer blow to the wealth
and business of Columbia than Tie
ahoii4hing Of the barrcoms did IN an
in 1898
We believe that with SeGatot Till
man eliminated from the situa'ion,
prohibition would result through local
option in every county in South Caro-
lioa not containing a large town within
two or three years. In this tho State
would simply follow the example of
Georgia, Texas, Tennessee and all the
Southern States, where whiskey has
been outlawed from the rural counties.
1t remains to be seen how long the
commanding personal influence Of
Senator lillian will continue potent to
prevent the expression of the real
will of the people.

state to be Encouraged.
The South Carolina Federation OF
Women's Clubs at its recent meeting in
Newberry, made an "Arts and Crafts"
Department., for the purpose of stimu-
lsting interest in the Home Industries
among the women of the State.
This work will consist OF handy-work
OF any description, made by the hands
of q South Carolina woman Laces, en-
broidery, basketry, Woodworking, de-
signs in wall paper. woven rugs, car
pets, quilts, reminding books, etc.
Every effort will be made to create a
demand for this work, and orders will
be solicited. All women ia the State
are urged to send samples OF their
handy-work.
1t is especially desired through this
movement, to reach the women of the
rulal districts, showing the possibilities
open to them, both as wage-earners
and home teachers along these lines, to
revive, ii possible, the old fashioned art
OF weaving, which even in its simplest
form is susceptible OF excellent results.
Woven rugs, for example, when
wrought into artistic designs and har-
monious colors, are in great demand
and bring high prices.
1T is the hope and intention of this
department to have a large and fine
exhibit in the Woman's Building at
the coming State Fair; therefore, we
wish to urge all parties who anticipate
sending work, to communicate with us
ut once in order to have time to work
up a good exhibit.

Immigration Again.

Twenty-Five years ago the fine farm
ing lands IN Hunters and Gross Hill
townships were worth about what they
are worth now. The time was when
the Spring Grove plantation, sold in
small divisions q year ago, would have
brought better prices. Meanwhile the
ridge lands In Dials and Youngs town
ships We're in the old days worth from
SO. TO So. the acre. They have come TO
be worth from SIS to $40 the acre. The
explanation is hat the proportion of
white people in these upper townships
is much larger than in the lower.
Churches and schools have more rap
idly multiplied where the settlement
of %hj@aS-is more dense and conse-
quently homes in these sections are
more in demand.
Mo- il is history that abou. 100 years
ago most of the people in the upper
townships were immigrants. In the
lover townships was u larger element
OF wealthy planters with great bodies
of slaves, Into the upper townships in
the years following the Revolutionary
Wan numbers of immigrants from Ire
laud, Scotland and more especially
people of scotch and Irish descent from
the Northern States iiocked. These
facts are only approximately true, but
they are sufficiently ccurate to estab-
lish the proposition that the immigra-
ton of y good class OF whites owning
small farms has made q wealthy and
prosperous section. We doubt If any
where in South Carolina or in the
South is 10 lie found q greater average
prosperity than in the whole of Dials
and in parts of Youngs and Sullivans
townships. III the Cry had been raised
i'm Laurens q century ago against the
coming of the Scotch and Irish and the
people of other states The development
Of these SECTIONS would have been him
dered, Tho lands in the lower town
ships are generally as fertile as are
those in the upper townships. Immi-
grants who come here will naturally
settle in s~ections where farms can be
bought for the least money. An immi-
grant with $1,000 will choose q $40 an
acre tract OF land in Hunters or Jacks
rather than q $50 an acre tract in Dials.
Thus ii th9 tide of immigration can be
turaed to the South again as it was
turned 100 years ago, we may expect
the same sort Of development as has
taken place in our richest sections.
Oar immigration law con!emplates
assisting and inducing to settle in
South Carolina only the best class of
people. Wish this ia view the law dis
ttnctly for0ids the invitation of immi-
grants from Southern Europe. The
ADVERTISER holds the view that no
harm would result in bringing Italiany
Swiss OF FrenS@SaS1Ie here, that they
would make ue,.Sra6d worthy citizens,
but the sta'e's Immigration burean is
limited by law to i%nviting northern Eu-
ropesns. If Ii succeeds ia the course
of the next tenor fifteen years in TO-
ducing even three or four thousand
families TO South Carolina il will have
paid for itself hundreds OF times over.
We do not believe that the people of
Llucers county are ready to take the
position that the waste lands in South
Carolina shall mo- have the benefits of
such Immigration as Dials township
for example had in its earlier history

, .rryiog further our suggestion of
week that the Anglo-SaXons are
t the 'only pebbles on the beach,"
tt US consider for a moment the I'M
Speakablo Japanese.
We Suppose that there is not in South
Carolina a white man who does not
consider himself superior to the Jap.
Nevertheless withjn halfla century the
japanese nation has come from pro-
fonndest ~obsculity to the forefront Of
power, civilization and culture. To say
that the japanese are not shrewd in
business, accomplished in the arts and
sciencie5 and soldiers and sailors of ex-
t~raordinary excellence would be to
confess ones ignorance. We do not de-
sire an iDtluH of Japanese immigrants
TO Laurens. We do not wish this news
paper TO pass into the hands in a few
years OF japanese owners. We do not
wish 10 be out-wi'ted, oyerrun and
eaten up by The energetic, unsparing
and never firing Japs. But when we
consider these same laps, so lately de-
splsed aud laughed at, we have little
respect for the uproarious demagogue
who is alarmed leat we south CAROLYN
ians are too good for association with
strangers who might wish to come
here from other parts of the world.
For racial reasons immigration should
b. coniiIed to white peoples, but we
suspect That n white man is about as
good as another, regardless ut least of
whore re was born.

LAYING OFF NfACHINIsTs.
Said That the Southern Pacific Is
Wedding Out Union Men.

The Los Angeles Express says: Ma
chinists employed by the Southern Pa
cific, in Los Angeles as we'll as else
where on the system, declare the COM
pany is not acting in good faith toward
them. 1t is alleged the order recently
promulgated, in which the force was
ordered to be reduced for reasons of
economy, had for its real purpose a
wedding out process.
According to a story that reached
here today, the company has planned
to adopt the tactics that were success
full on the Santa Fe, and has begun the
erection of stockades at several places,
where nonunion men will be housed and
fed until all trouble is ended. The
Bakersfield shops, it was said, already
had been equipped with such a stock
ade, and new men were being employed
there as rapidly as it could be done
without exciting suspicion.
In Los Angeles there is no evidence
that trouble is expected between the
company and its employees, and it is
said the Bakersfield story is without
foundation. Each side is watching the
other, however, and developments are
looked for in both camps.
