: Thomas H. Amos. president of
HARRISON negro college, Abbeviile, has
resigned his position and gotten out Of
the community. 1t is because Of fric-
tion he has raised between whites and
negroes. Some time ago Amos said In
q speech to his graduating class that
the independent action of the negro
women had brought the white women
to the kitchens and he hoped that the
white women would finally be brought
to the wash tubs. Some time ago on
the occasion Of the unveiling of the

= Commissioner Of immigration
Watson has cabled from Bremen
that the directors OF the Nord Deut-
scher Lloyd line have decided to put
ships between Bremen and Charles
ton. In explanation of the cable

Mr.. E. ]. Watson appears to have
been successful In his efforts to secure
a transatlantic line Of steamers for
Charleston. The cablegram printed
above was received from him last
night. This was the first thing that
Mr. Watson proposed to take, up on
his arrival at Bremen. Evidently he
has been more successful than he had
at first expected to be, for he thought.
1t would require several weeks to
persuade the North German Lloyds
management to make the experiment.
A Columbia business man. who heard
last night Of Mr.. Watson's successful
effort, declared that the immigration
bureau has done enough In this one
act to warrant its continuance for at
least five years. With freights to
Charleston reduced to a minimum
that city must grow accordingly, and
when Charleston grows the whole
state will naturally feel the benefit
This will mean enlarged opportuni-
ties for the manufacturing interests Of
South Carolina and when this steamer
prepares to return to Germany It
should and no doubt will find on the
piers in Charleston more freight than
can be handled in one trip. This is q
matter of great concern to the busi-
ness men of South Carolina, and they.
no doubt, will give the transatlantic
liner all the freight II can handle.
Mr.. r. Beverly Herbert who is In
charge of the bureau during Mr..
Watson's absence, stated that he had
received yesterday from Mr.. Watson
a letter stating that he had had long
talk with Mr.. Won Thillis manager Of
the North German Lloyds, and Mr..
Watson felt sure OF. Mr.. Won Thillis'
interest and support In the enter
prise. Mr.. Watson win push this un-
dertaking to a successful fruition and
will then take up some other import
ant matters on which he is engaged.
