Only Desirable Immigrants Needed.
Columbia State, Wednesday: The
immigration convention which met
here in November attracted a great
deal of attention to the proposition to
bring sturdy Scotch colonists to South
Carolina. But some think that the
idea originally presented by Mr.. A. ].
Matheson was lost sight OF. Mr. Math-
eson wanted to send man to Scot
land to induce a colony to come over
from that country OF sinew and OF
courage. However, the entire matter
Is in the hands Of an executive COM
mittee which may yet send an agent to
Europe. In writing to Gov. Hayward
In regard to the proposal to bring an
element Of farm laborers here from the
northwest, Mr.. Matheson says: my
position is now the same as when this
movement first started. We do not
want a certain class Of immigrants to
come from the north and northwest
to South Carolina. That class referred
to would demoralize the negro laborers
we now have, and in my opinion we
would be in O worse condition than we
are now. I do not think 1t advisable
at this time to divide our large landed
estates into small tracts. The present
condition is what caused our prestige
in agriculture. What we want Is a
high class of immigrants who will set
tie among us and become citizens,
The class Of immigrants I suggest are
thrifty and would make citizens or
whom we would be proud, and they
would add greatly to the prosperity OF
our state"
