ITALIAN MIGRANTS.

The Society for the Italian Immi
grants have written to Governor Hey
ward. "That the Society for italian
Immigrants will be glad to receive
printed matter relating to the ad-
vantages of settlement in the South
and will distribute such printed mat
ter both in this country and in Euro
pc where 1T will do most good in in
ducing emmisrants in this country to
settle in the Southern States. 1t will
make no charge for doing so, except
actual expenses Of distribution, which
will be normal. The Society is en-
tirely charitable one and seeks such
information, in advance to the starting
from home of the immigrants, as will
truly give them all needed data, such
as climate. cost OF living, wage rates,
hours Of work &c.
If the better class of Italian immi-
grants can be secured, they should
prove Of value to the South. These
people come from country where the
sun shines hotter than here, and they
should be, therefore, specially suited
to our needs, without having to pass
through periods of acclimation of
more or less lengths. If any way
offers by which the better class of
these people can be taken, without
having to take the scum, let us have
them by all means.

PRIDE OF ANCESTRY SHOULD BE
PREVENTIVE OF CRIME.

Pride of ancestry is by no means
false pride. for the more honored the
lineage, the greater the obligation is
upon the man, to keep it unsullied.
The man, to whom his antecedents
are unknown, has only himself and
his family to regard, when commit
ting a name befouling crime, but the
man, who looks proudly upon the
past, when he falls by the way side,
more than furnishing himself and
family, breathes the breath of shame
upon an honored line of ancestry;
greater to him, and rightfully so, is
his degradation, as it stands out Il
damning blot, upon the SHOW whit e
back ground OF ancestral purity

country have more rightful grounds

is South Carolina's by birth right, all
is to the manor born. Here, unlike.
in the wild and woolly West, there is
no accumulation of the worlds ad-

AT WHITE STONE.

The annual meeting OF the State
Press Association has come and gone.
So much has been written and said
that there is but little left to COM
ment upon. While there were several
opinions as to where the meeting
should be held next year, there was
but one in reference to the beautiful
way i'm which Mr.. Sheftall, the genial
proprietor of White Stone Springs
Hotel, honored each and every one of
the .vielders Of the pen.
White Stone is truly a beautiful
place, located on the apex of dimin-
utive mountain, not too high to make
it wearysome journey to reach, but
just high enough to give one an appe-
tite, after the mild form OF exercise it
req uires to climb the elevation.
The hotel is strictly modern in all
its appointments; the service is be-
yond reproacb; the rooms and beds are
all that could be desired: the ball
room, located on the top floor, is al
ways cool and airy. The band rem
dered numberless numbers, three or
four times day, and the only one ex
ception that could possibly be com
planned of, was the fact that the rep
ertoire did not include Dixie. 1t was
useless to ask from what part of the
world they hied.
1t is a huge treat to meet all the
- men and great women Of this, the
greatest association in the whole
world, for telling the great public

immediate vicinity, but from ocean to

EARTHQUAKES CAUSE RUIN
Scores Die in Ruins of Dharmsala, In
dia-Seventy Natives, Nine
Europeans Killed.

Lahore, India, April 6.-The hill sta
ton of Dharmsala was practically
RACED to the ground by the earth
quakes. The native quarter was en-
tirely obliterated, many of the inhab-
itants were buried in the ruins, most
of the houses in the European quar-
ter were wrecked, and nine persons
were killed. The people are sleeping
in the open air, food is not procurable,
and the great distress prevailing is
accentuated by keen frost. The entire
population is homeless and encamped
on the adjoining hillsides, without pro-
lection and practically entirely without
medical aid. A relief party was dis
patched from here to Dharmsala.
Among the Europeans killed at
Dharmsala were Mrs. Robinson, wife
of the colonel command n the troops
there, and her two daughters.
Seventy natives were killed and
many were injured when the native
quarter of Lahore was demolished by
the earthquake.
