Immigrants.

The people seem to be wide-awake on the
subject OF immigration, and many landoWn-
ers would be willing to part with. some OF
their real estate at figures which are 80 low
that the buyers would think 1t was given to
them.
If we understand the situation. the try
needs citizens who have the capital and the
executive ability to conduct farm or other
business. For men OF this kind the opening
in South Carolina is exceptionally good.
Land that will produce half bale or more OF
cottoE to the acre can be bought for less than
$40 an acre. We have the advantages OF q
fine climate in summer and our winters are
not severe. Our lands will produce almost
any crop that is grown out OF the tropics.
Wheat, oats. corn, potatoes, rice. and hay, can
be grown anywhere hereabout.
But this is not the place for unskil'ed labor.
When the man has nothing but muscle to put
into his work he had better 60 elsewhere.
The fact Is, labor is so plentiful here that 1t
Is the cheapest commodity that we have. NO
man In this country can afford TO carry on
his farming operations by the foreign white
labor that may come here.
, In other agricultural communities white
laborers live in the house with their employ
or and receive wages far in excess of any
wages which are paid in South Carolina.
II an immigrant has trade, or an educa-
ton which fits him for work above that of
the average laborer he may do we'll here.
Some of the best citizens of this country are
descendants Of immigrants. But, II any body
expects an intelligent immigrant to come
here and work for man who is poorer than
himself. and who must pay him In orders TO
the stores at lien prices he will find out his
mistake. This, OF all places is the last place
for day Iaborer. II we are not In error. not
so long ago quite q number Of foreigners were
brought here. They had nothing but their
muscle and their hands. In a little while
they were all gone.
But for the man with little money, or with
business qualifications, who is willing 10 take
the lead in work. no place TN earth would
suit him 80 we'll as Abbeville County, South
Carolina. With executive ability and
good character, the poorest man can soon get
all the credit he needs, and with credit, be
can utilize the labor that can be found lying
around loose. The man who can lead willing
and agreeable labor, and pay what he prom.
ises, will find this country the best on earth
for him.
Judge r. E. Hill has been interviewed on
this subject. That interview and the letters
In reference to the same make interesting g
reading, and We hope that the agitation may
continue until good results are brought about.

The house was put US under the manage
ment OF Mr.. WV. White, Of Atlanta, who IL
skilled Workman.
The house which he built for Mr.. Ellis ls
one OF the prettiest In the city. No house has
been more admired for both its attractive ap-
pearance and for Its modern construction.
Mr.. White is building fine dwelling house
for Dr. l.. T. Hill. In addition 10 this he Is
now recnnstructing the store rooms belonging
to DR.. F. E. Harrison and President John A.
Harris New fronts are going into each OF the
stores, and the plans and the execution are
first-class In every respect.
Later on Mr.. White will build an elegant
home for Capt. L. w. White, end then will
build for Dr. Neuffer dwelling which will be
an ornam ment TO the town.
Along about the same time that Mr.. White
is putting up the latter buildings he will take
down his old house and make for Mr. l.. T.
Miller a beautiful home on the lot, where be
now lives on Main street.
There may be other new dwellings, IN con-
temptation, but which we have overlooked.
Among the handsome new dwellings that
have been recently built is that OF Mr.. W.T..
Bradley. He Is 80 m odest that we had almost
forgotten his new home,
Mr.. James Taggart and Mr.. c. A. Smith are
making for Messrs. l.. r. & Il. NJ. Miller as
nice a store az has ever been seen In these
parts. The counters, the shelving, the wiD-
dows and all the other appurtenances are as
pretty IA mechanical skill can make them.
When flushed this store will be thing or
beauty.
