From the Minneapolis Times.
South Carolina, with 100000 acres

with a plan that seems to offer much
in the way Of solving the immigrant
problem. The State needs new white
blood to work the mines and fields,
and while this situation has been made
known Tor many years in the usual
way, it has not brought such results az
are desired. Now the state has opened
headquarters in New York city. under
charge OF the state Commissioner Of
Immigration and an effort will be
made to direct newcomers to the OPP
portunities IN the South.
IL is n fact that a very large propor-
ton OF the immigrants reaching New
York have no definite idea OF where
they can locate to tho best advantage.
land the result is that most OF them
remain IN the cities to eke out a miser-
able living. Could they but know that
broad acres awaited their willing
hands and that rewards for labor In
that direction would exceed anything
'onered by the big cities, it is believed
that they would gladly take advan-
tage OF the opportunity
The South ls peculiarly suited by
climate and resources to the people Of
