South Carolina Wants Immigration.

The South Carolina legislature a few
weeks ago established a department of
agriculture. and immigration, the
principal object of which was to induce the
immigration of healthy foreigners from
northern Europe to that state to replace
the decrease in the colored population. The
exodus of colored men to the northern
cities to railroad work and similar occupa-
tons has brought about a scarcity of labor
that is beginning to be seriously felt. Ed

taxed Our facilities for the

the great popularity of
Rich's shoes among partieu-

the appreciation of the elite"

variety shown here.
Next to exclusiveness of
styles it is the large assort-
ment we carry of footwear
for all purposes that makes
this store SO extremely popu-
lar. Full and complete as
sentiments are carried OF ev-
cry line, and in every instance
styles are strikingly different
from those shown elsewhere,
and have that character" so
much desired by those who
care to dress distinctively.
Just now, at the beginning
of social festivities, we desire
to call special attention to
the evening and reception
footwear, and also to the line
of sporting boots for riding,
hunting, golf playing and
other outdoor sports.
Ii it is your desire to have
evening footwear made to

idea found favor in all parts of the

a carnation in their button hole.
The carnation was a favorite flower

Against Parcels Post.

The State Grocers Association
of California is another body that
has come out strongly in opposl-
ton to the new parcels post law.
All the small merchants through
the country find on investigation.
that their business will be affect
ed adversely by this bill.
The movement is the work OF
two large catalogue houses IN
New York, each of which gets
out a million catalogues a year.
These catalogues weigh nearly
four pounds each, and the new
bill would save for them at least
20 cents postage on each cata-
logue.
This means saving to these
two firms alone of more than
$500, 900 year. How many
Oregon merchants, in small
towns, would it take to make up
this amount in the entire prohts
of their business in one year?
When the United States Gov
ernment, in addition to this saw
ing, also pays the bulk of the
freight on the goods sold from
these catalogues, it is easy to see
where the business of the coun-
try merchants will go to. Our
merchants spend money in our
town, and help US pay our taxes.
Let US help them by denouncing
| the bill.
