Third: (g) Question: EDO you ad-
vocate making more stringent United
States laws governing immigration, 50
that this country may be better safe
guarded against inflow of the lawless,
the base, the ignorant and the pauper
elements Answer: I do. First, l
am opposed to any immigrant coming
into the United States who can not
read and write his ow1 language. He
can not take an intelligent part in
our government, nor is he qualified
for suffrage in South Carolina and
many other states. Second, [ shall
offer an amendment prohibiting any
Immigrant landing in the United
States who does not bring certificate
of good character from the proper
official of the government from
whence he comes. This will prohibit
many criminals and undesirable i'm
migrants who are leaving their coun-
try in order to escape prosecution for
crime, and it is not such require
me7t as Will prove hardship on the
desirable class Of immigrants, as IN
European countries complete re-
cord is kept Of all the people from
their birth to their death. Tnlrd, l
favor a provision prohibiting over So
900 immigrants of any one national
ity coming to the United States a
wear, which will further reduce the
number of undesirable from southern
Europe. It will not, however, affect
any Of the countries of northern Eu-
rope, as last year only $4,000 came
from Germany, which was more than
came from any country Of northern
Europe, while about 100000 came
from southern Italy.
(h) Question: EDO you believe, as
business man, that the wide publ
citv attained throughout the United
rSates by South Carolina's 'advarc-
ed or progressive movement in be-
half Of immigration, has been bene-
fetal or injurious to this state in the
estimation of the people OF the Unit
ed States?" Answer: I do not know
what estimate the people Of the Unit
ed States place upon the publicity re-
ferred b., However, I know Of no
publicity that should have worked IN
jury to South Carolina.
(i) Question: "Does your plan tor
the drainage of swamp lands III lower
South Carolina by the nationl govern
ment contemplate-as in national lr-
rigation Of Western deserts-that the
cost incurred shall remain a claim
uprr the land by the general govern
ment?" Answer: The bill [ introduce
ed in congress for the purpose OF
draining the swamp lands IS very
similar to the bill for national 1rrl-
cation. and does provide that the cost
incurred shall be paid in annual IN
stallmcnts by the owners Of the land;
Wi +hn ncncv is to be furnished with

irrigation.

tions IN tac spirit IN which [ believe

GRAPES BEING
SENT To FRANCE

Fresno, Cal, Sept, S.-That Fresno
grape growers can obtain better
profit by drying their fruit and ship
ping it to France to be made into
wine for American consumption than
by selling the grapes to the California
wine makers has appeared by the ac
tiv!ty this season of the agents of
the San Francisco commission men
who have been buying up the fruit.
A large number of contracts have
been made with small growers who
instead of selling the Zinfandel
grapes to the Cal fornia Wine associ-
alton, dry them and sell them for
shipment. That good prices can be
obtained for these grapes is assured
by the stringent laws against adulter-
alton which have just gone into eff
feet in France. And the French
growers have taken advantage of this
to raise their prices. In retaliation
the wine makers are using American
grown grapes.

CANS Tie FAvoRlTE.
But Betting is BY no Means Heavy as
at Former Fight.
To be continued.


San Francisco, Cal, Sept.S:- In
prime condition and ready for their
battle, with the lightweight cham
pionship title at stake, Joe Cans and
James Edward Britt, await the
call to the open-air ring at Recreation
Park. The sale of stats has been
large but the betting will not be
heavy. With a remembrance of
the previous meeting between Cans
and Britt which was later acknow-
lodged by the parties concerned to
have been fixed fight, the sporting
fraternity evinces no great desire to
risk money on the present event. In
what betting that is being done Cans
rules a slight favorite.
The fight will be in the open-air ball
park, and it is estimated that between
$4,000 and 10000 spectators will see
the contest Though the attendance
at the ring-side will probably tax the
capacity of the big amphtheater the
gross receipts will not come up to
the total of some of the previous
events pulled off here for the reason
that the prices have not been put so
high. The price of tickets ranges
from ten dollars for ring side seats
down to one dollar for general admis-
sion and a birds-eye view of the

"Why Girls Leave Home"

A powerful play with a moral well
worth needing, is the play produced
at the Keylor Grand last night and
which will be given again tonight, by
request. The play is a strong one and
the interest from first to last is in

With name that almost queers it
with most people, why Girls Leave

sons and without doubt many who saw
the play last night were Influenced

HE SMILED HIS WAY.
When obstacles beset his path
And grief became his share,
He ne'er gave way to bitter wrath,
To envy or despair.
Though worry sought to strike him
And endless seemed the day,
He ne'er was known 20 wear a frown-
He smiled his way.
He never fought as others will,
With bitterness Of heart;
But, smiling, travelled every hill,
And bravely bore his part.
When sorely pressed by trouble, he
The kindest words would say;
He bore his burden cheerfully-
And smiled his way.
He travelled DER the toughest roads
To reach the golden goal;
He felt the sting of failures goads,
That smarting in his soul.
But steadfastly he journeyed or,
Unmoved from day to day;
And in the end victory won
He smiled his way

LIKE AMERICAN GAME.
Many Students Of University of Cali
fornia Want a Change.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
Berkeley Cal, Nov. 27.-At a monster
mass meeting held in Harmon gymna-
SUM, the question of a change back
from Rugby to American football was
discussed. The student sentiment is
strongly in favor of change and it is
probable that vote will be taken on
the subject.
Mr.. Cameron who coached the Uni
versity of Nevada, the past two years.
and who formerly played Rugby in
England, spoke in favor of the game.
He stated that it was impossible to
learn Rugby in two years, and that he
thought there was much less liability
of injury, citing the case of the New
Zealand team which played 80 games
with only two serious injuries. He also
ventured the opinion that team could
be developed on the. Pacific coast which
would capture the championship of
the world William Reed, ex-head
coach of Harvard, spoke in favor of
the old game and showed how the pres
ent rules make the play more open.
The American game requires more
headwork, according to Mr.. Reed, and
in closing he urged trial of another
year before discarding the game for
good. His remarks were greeted with
cheers and hearty applause. Members
of the football team also spoke and
nearly all of them expressed them
selves as believing Rugby a good game
and enjoyed playing it, but that the
American game aroused more interest
and was better from the standpoint of
a contest.
G. V. Bell, captain-elect for next
year, stated that at the football BAN
que. a vote was taken on the subject
and 81 favored a change to the Ameri-
can game while only three voted for
Rugby 1t is understood here that Stan
ford does not desire a change, and
President Wheeler's attitude is not
known.
