ducing emmi1rants in this country to

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 chan here, and they
should be, therefore, specially suited
to our needs, without having to pass

these people can be taken, without
having to take the scum, let US have

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 when his antecedents
are unknown, has only himself and
his family to regard, when commit
ting 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, oreathes the breath Of shame
upon an honored line of ancestry;
greater to him, and rightfully so, is
his degradation, as it stands out u
damuing blot, upon the SHOW whit G

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 we're several
opinions as to where the meeting
should be held next year, there was
but one in reference to the beautiful
way in 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
requires 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
