night he was welcomed by. a large
and enthusiastic audience.
A laugh such. as only a minstrel

audience last night. The acts were
all clever and the majority OF them
original. and were seen here for the
first time.
A number Of the acts were worthy
Of mention. especially the acrobatic
feats. that were different from near
ly all others. The performers were

plain that men had been well trained
Kersands himself, was. as original
as ever, and his lecture on Capital

From the time he appeared on the
stage until his turn had ended, the
house was in a continual uprOar.

IMMIGRANTS PASS
THROUGH THIS CITY

For the past two days the after
noon trains that have passed through
the city bound westward have car
ried large numbers of Immigrants
that recently landed here from Aus
tria and other countries on board the
Sophia that arrived in New Orlea ms
last Tuesday.
Around the depot. while the trains
stopped the immigrants were viewed
with much interest by those that
happened to be near the depot at that
time.
From the train windows the travel
ers took in that part Of the city and
viewed the onlookers with much in
terest. A constant "jabbering" was
carried on among themselves.
From some of the train crew It
was learned to- the immigrants
were bound for a lumber camp near
Lake Charles, where they had con-
tracted as laborers. They looked
tired and dirty.
The men averaged about 25 years,
some being older, while others were
nothing more than boys. It was
learned that they were completely
strapped, and none had over IS in
money, while many did not have
cent. They looked ignorant, unedu-
Gated and very sluggish, which bears
out the statements already made by
men who .have given their like trial,
and who state that they are indiffer-
ent and lazy.

PROF. HAND GRATIEnED.
High School Movement Has Succeed
ed beyond All Hopes.

columbia Cor. News and Courier }
In talking about the high school
movement Prof. w. HI. Hand, of the
University of South Carolina, to-
night said: "The high school move
ment for the establishment of high
schools, where none existed, or for
the Improvement of those already in
existence, is succeeding beyond tho
hope Of Its friends and supporters.
The movement began with the hearty
and intelligent support of the col
leges, at whose hands 1t has received
constant encouragement. The high
school teachers, both public and pri-
vate, have lent their warm support.
At the beginning It was not known
Just how the people would come to
the upbuilding2 of the secondary
schools. lThere can be no room for
doubt gnow.9 OF more than two hun
dred communities visited within the
past sixteen months, in only one have
been told that the people did not
care to consider the matter at all.
Fewer than half q dozen high school
elections have finally failed.
THE following places have COM
piled with the High School Act. and

High school elections are now pend
ing at about six other places.
These schools are situated at
places ranging from rural school dis
tricts to towns of 5000 inhabitants.
In all but three places, the high
school territory embraces from two
common school districts to town
ship of eight districts. At some of
these places no high school existed
before, at others the school has been
enlarged in some way. In every
case, save one, teacher has been
added, or a year added to the course,
or some study added, and in several
places all three have been added"

Among those present at the meet
ing were congressman Lever, Finley
