The government estimate and
that of the New Orleans Times
Democrat only differed 1900
bales. The T. D. for several
years has been issuing very re-
liable reports and is now looked
on as one of the most reliable
authorities on crop estimates.

We Are Opposed to immigration


The legislature will be asked
to create a department of agri-
culture at its next session, the
commissioner to have charge of
immigration. We are always
ready to support any measure
that will add to the advancement
of the material interests of the
people Of the state but the exper-
fence that we have had with the
agricultural department in Wash
ington does not indicate that
much good would result. A
politician at the head of such a
department would present a
farce that would make the en-
tire state blush. Ifsuch a depart
ment could be placed in the hands
of a good competent man whose
experience in agricultural pur-
suits had fitted him for the place
well and good; but if the place
is to be created for a mere pol
itician who wants a job we could
get along better without it than
with it. Asto the immigration fea-
ture of the proposed department
we feel sure we need that. The
work of bringing people into
the state should be a matter of
natural results rather than a
business. The good man who
comes amongst us seeking a home
should be welcome, but the bring
ing of the low class of foreign
ers here should not be encouraged
and the state should certainly
not be taxed to hire a man for
that purpose. The man who
feels that he needs the Italian
or other foreigner with which to
cultivate his lands should pro-
cure them at his own expense as
best he can, but an organized
effort by the state to bring them
in as laborers should not be en-
couraged. We are satisfied with
the class of people we now have
in the south, which is growing
higher and better as the years
roll by through superior moral
and educational influences, and
we cannot improve by bringing
in a foreign element of the lower
class. The population of the
state is increasing rapidly
e enough through influences that
do not need legislative support or
encouragement and we should
let we'll enough alone. We want
this country for our selves and
our children and we should not
leave to them as a heritage a
sharp competitive fight with
cheap foreigners for a living.
The country is ours, we furnish
the best and only pure class of
true Americanism and we should
preserve it as a priceless heritage
for all time to come. We are
opposed to immigration and it's
attendent evils.

last on Wednesday at her home
near Cleora.
This good woman and her hus-

earthly career. Mrs. Moss will be
greatly missed by neighbors and
friends but nowhere will her ab-
sence be felt more keenly than IN
the home.

Death OF an Exemplary Citizen,
Who..Whether in Time of
Peace or War..Served
His Country Well.

Captain Erasmus H. Young
blood is dead. On Monday morn
ing at his home at Winterseat
"the vital spark of heavenly flame"
became extinct on earth to shine
more gloriously, more resplendent-
ly in that better lard. His body
was laid to rest beside the graves
of loved ones IN the Edgefeld
cemetery Oh Tuesday at noon, the
services beirg conducted by Rev.
T. P. Burgess.
The long life of the deceased,
extending over a period of seventy
four years, had been we'll spent.
While eschewing publicity and
every phase of public life, yet he
was a positive force, a safe leader
and wise counselor, whether In
peace or war.
When the strife between the
states resulted in resort to arms
Mr.. Youngblood was a cadet at
West Point. He Immediately
came home and enlisted IN his
country's cause, for which he
fought for four long years, being
promoted to the captaincy of Co.
D 14th S. G. His entire record
was one of distinguished gallantry
and bravery.
At the close of the war he
studied law and practised at the
Edgefeld bar for some years, be-
ing associated with Mr.. Cicero
Adams. Later he retired to his
farm where be passed the remain
der Of bis life. Not only among
his neighbors and in his imrnedi-
ate community has be been honor
ed and his real worth felt, but
when any crisis confronted our
county or people at large his
counsel and cooperation were al
ways sought and cheerfully given.
In the death of the deceased a
gallant soldier, sterling citizen,
consecrated Christian, faithful
friend and neighbor,. devoted hus-
band aud indulgenl father has
passed from earth to heaven.
Capt. Youngblood married Miss
Ellen Smith who survives him,
being also survived by two sons
and four daughters. Mrs. Manly
Timmons of our town was his
youngest daughter, and was at
the beside of ber father during his
illness and death.
