Dear Sir: I am informed that you

about immigration, your position has

In making the suggestion that fol-

the alleged misleading comments OF
the press may have justification in
an honest failure to understand your
attitude. Second, that you are con-
sidering this matter not as a pollsl-
clan seeking votes, but as one having
the exalted ambition Of the statesman
to help his people. Third, that your
views regarding immigration are de-
cided and clear cut, and you wish
:hem told the people, without amoi-
guilty, so clearly, indeed, that he who
runs may read. Ny suggestion is that
yau give to the sixty odd thousand
readers of the State as succinctly as IS

Mr.. W. E. Gonzales,
Editor The State.

Columbia, S. G.

Ny Dear Sir: have your letter OF
the 9th ult. in which you state, 81
am uniformed that you complain thai
while you have made clear statements
of your opinion about immigration,
your position has been misinterpreted,
and that the State mas done its part
of the misinterpretation," and sug-
gest that I give to the sixty-odd thou
sand readers Of the State information
upon certain questions
First, you state conditions as fol-
lows: "According to the last census
South Carolina had population OF
557,sO7 whites and 7S2,521 negroes.
The density Of population was A to
the square mile in South Carolina, 348
in Massachusetts, and 407 in Rhode
Island. There were SO, 516 illiterates
in this state. The South Carolina
school reports for last year show that
about 10000 more negro children than
white children are going to school. "
AS to this statement, am familiar
with the figures you give and deplore
the situation as much as you or any
other patriotic citizen Of the state.
However, it is condition for which
the present generation is not respon-
sible. We are face to face with it.,
and it is our duty to deal with it in an
intelligent and patriotic way. l con-
tend that the class of immigrants that
I am opposed to coming to South
Carolina will in no way relieve the
situation. but will tend to compllcate
and further distrub existing condl-
tions. The illiterate, low-bred natives
cf southern Europe are IL no way
qualified for citizenship under a re-
publican form Of government, nor to
aid tie present white population IN
maintaining white supremacy. They
are coming to the United States with
ont their families, and to bring them
into the south, if we could keep them
here, where we have so many negroes,
will, in my judgment, result IN a
! cross breed with the negro and make
the problem still more difficult to
handle. We can not hope to aSsimi-
late these people, 2or have them to
anv considerable extent intemarry
with our white population. They do
not speak our language, and they diff
fer with our people en- standards Of
living and ideas of government. They
