WILL THE SOUTH FAVOR TIE
CHINESE.
State department officials pri-
vately do not blame tho South
for urging faircr immigration laws
for the Chinaman inasmuch as the
South's cotton business abroad
for many years must be in China
and the far east. Then, too,
there arc suggestions that the
Chinaman would be The best i'm
migrant the South could get TO
take the place Of the disappearing
negro. On the Pacific coast the
experience has been that the
Chinaman is an excellent and faith
ful farm worker on the farm. He
i, also intelligent. The argument
is advanced that he would make
the best farm hand the South
could get, far better than the ne
gro, and that he would work for
as little money. The only obicc-
ton he might make, and that
would be serious, would be to the
Southern system Of working a
farm on shares. They would cx-
pect weekly wages, however
small, and would be content with
this. If the Chinaman, therefore,
should be allowed to go South us
farm laborcr he would do much
to change the existing system of
farming there.
Of course the South can not
get the Chinaman as a laborcr,
even if desired, unless the present
exclusion laws should be changed
by Congress. This would require
a long and hard fight and might
make new issue in American
politics. The outcome will be
closely watched in politics.

State Department Against Agitat-
ing China's Boycott.
Special to Grcenville News

The State department frankly dis.
cottages any further agitation in
the South and elsewhere ON tho
question of the threatened boycott
by China Of American cotton
goods. 1t is realized that the
matter is of deep concern to the
cotton mill industry of the South,
ont right now agitation would be
the worst thing that could hap
pen.
had an important talk today
with Acting Secretary Loomis, Of
the State Department, and spoke
to him about the contemplated
conference here next Monday Of
cotton mill presidents and other
mill officials Of the South, follow
ed by a call upon the president to
urge his aid in keeping the friend
~ ieellng of China so far as it
pertains to cotton goods. MIR
Loomis unhesitatingly stated that
he believed the matter would adj
Just itself and that he REGARDED
any further agitation as unwisc.
lie thought it would be a good
plan for the Southern cotton men
to wait until they were hurt before
they began to made plans for re
ilct. l am not at liberty to con-
tinue quotation of the Views Of
Mr. Looms, butI can say that Mr.
Loomis has had several conferen-
ces with Sir Chentung Liang
Cheng, the Chinese minister, and
that he believes the Chinese au-
thorities will advise against furth-
er efforts in that country to retail
late commercially upon the United
States because Of our exclusion
laws, leaving to the sense Of r;pht
OF the United States the question
OF doing what is fair by the Chi
nese as soon as this can be done.
there is no shielding of the
fact that the Chinese government
realizes that it has an immense
club in its hands with which to
retallate against the United
States and that ifit should desire
to show venom it could proceed
in a manner that might bring a
change in the exclusion laws, but
the Chinese government remem-
bers some of the friendly acts of|
the United States in the boxer
uprising and is not disposed to |
take too much advantage Of the
situation. Mr. Loomis believes
the government will discountcn-
ance continued agitation in China
In favor of boycott and that
this will settle things for awhile,
or until China sees that it is the
intention of the United States to
rlgldly follow the exclusion that is
now in force.
CHINA HAS THE BEST OF 1T.
State Department officials un-
hesitatingly declare that the treat
ment of the Chlnaman by the
United Srates is disgrace and q
shame and that it would not be
stood for by another nation of
consequence on earth. 1t is recop
nlzed that il China should put in
to effect a boycott against Ameri-
can goods, and especially against
cotton goods, Of which she pur-
chases more than anything else,
little blame could be attached
under the circumstances in the
minds of fairly disposed men here
or elsewhere. 1t is realized,
though, that at the present time
the politics of this country oppose
relaxation of the exclusion laws
and that it will take a mighty firm

Department of Mining.

So much has been said and written
on the subject of the necessity OF a cabi-
net officer being appointed to represent
the mining industry at Washington,
that there is very little new to be said
on the subject. We do think, however,
that much can be accomplished by aei-
tating the question in Il reasonable man
ner and il, the right quarters. Until an
organized attempt is made by mining
men, we question ii the end desired will
ever be accomplished. In this agitation
the Sestern miner must seek the cu-ol-
Grafton of his eastern brethren. About
two-thirds of the mineral production of
the United States comes from east
of the Mississippi river. Coal, IRON and
petroleum are responsible for by lar the
greater portion of the wealth produced
by the miner, and we must nave the and
OF those men engaged i'll the production
of such materials to secure Ii national
department of mines, organized along
similar lines as the Department Of Ag-
riculture. Looking at the matter IN ii
reasonable manner, we do not believe
that the western miner can accomplish
this end by his own efforts; that should
not, how, yer, prevent us ON orSanlZ-
ing and setting To work in the premises.
