LINE A CERTAINTY.
Stream of immigration to Be Diverted
to Charleston.

Announcement has been made by
Frederick Won Pills of Berlin, says a
New York dispatch of yesterday. that
he has practically completed plans for
a new steamship line between Adriatic
ports and South Carolina, and that the
first ship will steam across the Atlantic
in December. 1t is quite probable that
Charleston will be the port of entry
into this country, although Mr.. Won
Pills would not make a definite state
ment to that effect.
Mr.. Won Pills has returned from an
extended trip through the Carolinas
ard other southern states, and left for
Europe. Until last May he was direc-
tur in charge Of the steerage depart
ment of the North German Lloyd
Steamship company, and is one of the
recognized authorities in Europe on
American immigration.
1T has been for long time my am
|bition," he said, Ito divert European
immigration to the southern states, and
expect now to bring 1t about visit
ed Charleston, Greenville, Columbia,
Charlotte and other cities in the south,
and everywhere l went l found strong
desire to have immigration go to south
ern states to work both on the farms
and in the factories.
1T is known in the regions from
which come the greatest tide of immi-
grafton that more advantages for the
newcomer are to be found in the south
than in the North Atlantic states and
all that Is needed is to have some one
to tell the immigrants where to go and
how to get there. That the owners of
the new line which l have projected
will do. We shall have offices in Odes-
sa, Helsingfors and Berlin and branch
es in Vienna and Belgrade, and we
shall maintain intelligence offices in
various parts Of Europe.
II think that the rush in immigrants
to America will continue for four or
five years, but there will come slump.
The immigration from Hungary must
cease The government is anxious to
stop II.
"From Italy America may expect
great swarms for few years yet. l
am of the opinion that the streams OF
Hebrews from Russia will be rapidly
diverted TO Argentina"

IMMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.
The Fine Promise Of the Won Pills Line
to the Adriatic.


to the Adriatie.
Undoubtedly the work of the bureau
of immigration has done great deal
in the last few months toward turn
ing the tide Of immigration to the
south, where the opportunities for ag-
ricultural prosperity through thrift and
industry are very large. But another
great aid has been the work Of Baron
Won Pills, a director of the Trans-At-
lantic Steamship company, who has
been making a tour of the south and
has seen what a field there is for the
disposition of emigrants from Ger
many. So impressed has the baron
been that he has determined to estab-
lish a direct line of steamers between
Charleston, S. c., and Trieste, the prin-
cipal port of the Austro- Hungarian
empire.
Trieste is the great market for the
trade of the empire by the Adriatic.
1t is the depot where are warehoused
the goods from the Black sea, Turkey
and Egypt. Its exports are various,
including wine, oil, flax, silk, glass,
liQueurs, marole, ETC., and its imports
are principally raw and spun cotton,
dried fruits, camels' hair. and so on.
Formally one of the principal cities of
the Romans it passed into the hands
of Austria in 1882. 1t is the seat OF
some of the best schools in Europe,
and it is the headquarters Of the Aus
trian- Lloyd line of steamers. It's ex-
ports amount to S132,000.000 a year;
it's imports to $143,000,000. A direct
line of steamers between this European
port and Charleston Is bound to do I'M
mense things for the development not
alone for South Carolina, but of the
south generally.
The establishment of such direct
communication is bound to cause the
setting in of a tide of immigration or
the most desirable kind. The United
States government will do all in It's
power to foster the movement; the
make the project a success; the south
ern railroads will find here an added
opportunity for usefulness. The new
line will. according to Baron Won Pills,
handle identically the same kind OF
people as the Transatlantic Shipping
company now handles from German
ports, and intending immigrants. in
stead of being landed on these shores
far from the opportunities for labor,
will find themselves eagerly welcom-
ed. Nor must it be forgotten that the
establishment of this line means that
the cotton growers Of the south will
find themselves in direct communica-
tion with a growing market and with
out the need of intervention Of middle

Save Il.

The best advice we are able to give
to any young person, whether that
young person be boy or girl, young
lady or young man. is to acquire the
saving habit.
There Is no habit that can exert a
greater influence for good over the life
and character of any young man or
young woman, and no habit is likely
to prove of greater future benefit.
|. We would not be understood as COM
mending miserliness or niggardliness.
Careful, intelligent saving does not
imply anything of the kind.
The natural tendency Of a great ma
jority of the young people is to spend
every nickel they get as soon as they
get it. There is little thought over the
question as to the best place to put the
nickel. or of what service the article to
be purchased may be; but the thing
is to get rid of the nickel. and general
ly this idea preys on the mind Of the
owner of the nickel untfl the nickel is
disposed of. Then the next idea Is to
get another nickel to waste in SINH
lar manner, and so the habit of eX-
travagance grows.
With the development Of the saving
habit in any young person of normal
tendencies, there soon follows the de-
velopment of careful discrimination in
the use of the money, and this Is one
Of the greatest benefits to be derived
from the cultivation Of the saving hab-
it, There are grown people as well as
children, who are disposed to want
anything and everything they see
whether they need it or not, and one of
the first thing that the saving habit
teaches them to be content with the
things they actually need, and can af-
ford.
To impress a child with a realiza-
ton of the practical benefit Of acquir-
ing the saving habit, is very difficult
matter This fact is readily apprecia-
ted by all who have tried it. Those
who have not tried it, will find profit
in doing so. And as the result of the
experience it will be easy to conclude
that the longer the postponement of
practical lessons in saving the more
difficult it will be to make start.
The time has been in this country,
and not so long ago, that young peO-
pie could find but little practical as
SStance in the matter of saving, es-
pecially money. There was nothing
for them but to put their nickels and
dimes in boxes and hoard them until
they amounted to dollars. This was
better than waste. The child's realiZa-
tiOn of it's financial power would neces-
sarily grow with its savings. Denying
itself Of a half pound of candy for its
first nickel, the next nickel added
would put jack knife or a doll with
in its reach, and so on up as the saw
ingS increased, smaller things would
be discarded for larger. things until the
final dawn Of that all important princi
pie in the requirement of financial in
dependence. that the way to spend
money to the best advantage is to put
it in something that will continue to
represent its value"
But now profitable saving is more
easy than it has ever been. First
class banking institutions. that will
take savings in any amount from five

MURDERERS MUST BE PUNISHED
A Strong Plea for Impartial Justice
for Whites and Blacks.


A week ago a negro passenger on
Norfolk and Western train went into
the white coach near Martinsburg, Va,
and was accosted by two or three
young white men, who had been drink
ing, and asked what he wanted. He
replied that he was looking for white
gentleman. You get out Of here,
said one. I'VE don't allow coons in
here" Pull down on him." said an
other A pistol was discharged and
the negro fell, with a bullet In his
head The last news Of him, two days
later, was that he was alive this
morning" OF course nobody fired the
shot There were no arrests.
This recital Is one to make a just
white mans blood boil.
A short time before this occurrence
from the newspaper reports Of the In
cident, shot a negro dead in the streets
of Winston. He was apprehended and
we are wondering what will be done
with him. Self-defence? 1t is not
worth while, in the sight Of God, for
press and public to rail against the
courts when they set free white man
and condone by silence the murder
without any justification Of negro by
a white man who goes without arrest
or Is upon trial acquitted.
If white men expect from negroes re-
spect OF the law they must themselves
respect and obey it. A weak and ig-
norant race Is necessarily influenced
by the example Of the stronger and
superior, and wicked, unprovoked
bloodshed by the latter naturally in
spires lawlessness in turn by the for
mer. Punish the negro for his sins.
but punish the white man for his. The
people who believe that the degree OF
crime varies with the color or class of
the victim need to be reminded other
wise and to be bidden remember that
IL there is escape here from its con-
sequences there will come a time when
Judgment will be laid to the line and
righteousness to the plummet.-Char-
lotte Observer.

out which. She was uncertain also
what the trouble was except that the
man, who was evidently drinking,
seemed to think that he had right to
ride without a ticket. The conductor
had a round with him just after the
was put off the train. He fought and
swore; but was overpowered and had
to give in. Pistols were in evidence;
but no shots were fired.

lumbia State: Deputy Marshal God
over into York county yesterday,
where they had reason to believe that
an Illicit distillery was in operation,
and captured a negro named Miles
Stowe. who was working at the plant,
and flushed a covey Of four others who
made good their escape. The still and
the whole outfit was taken charge Of
by the officers and about 300 gallons Of
beer destroyed. They also secured
three and a half gallons of whisky,
which had just been made. The still
was of about sixty gallons capacity
and was situated in an ideal place for
making "moonshine"; indeed but for
the fact that the officers were guided
to this place, it would have been i'm
possible for them to have located
same. The negro Stowe was commit
ted to Jail to await the arrival of Dep
uty Collector Merrick, who Is expected
here today.

THE SUBLIME AND TRAGIC AT MAG
ARA.-For the first time last night
says a Niagara Falls dispatch Of yes
terday, the power of Niagara falls was
turned back to illuminate the falls
themselves, lights aggregating Lib
100000 candle power, thrown from
thirty-six great lensed refectors,
changing the tumbling mass Of water
into a sparkling cataract. Twenty-one
15-inch and fifteen 30-inch search
lights, set in batteries scattered along
the gorge and the cliffs above the
Canadian side converged their rays
first on the American falls and then
on the horseshoe. At first the light
was white, but gradually into 1t crept
a rose tint, then one of green, or yell
low, of blue until the foaming mass
Of water glittered with all the sort
tints of the rainbow.
Occasionally all the lights were
turned upward, their rays forming
great colored fan, visible on clear
nights for 100 miles. Again they
would converge on the smoke from
bomb, making Of it a slowly rising
pillar of constantly changing color.
A startling tragedy occurred on the
upper steel arch bridge shortly after
9 o'clock. Hundreds Of people had
gone out on the bridge 10 get an un-
obstructed view of the falls under the
searchlights. An unknown man In the
crowd suddenly leaped upon the rail-
ing, stood poised for moment and
then leaped into the chasm. His body
struck the water. 1872 feet below, and
disappeared in the rapids.

Casablanca, September 4: About
5000 Moors participated in Mondays
fight The Moors, who were repulsed
on all sides, made a most impressive
picture as. garbed Enthusiastically,
mounted on white horses and carrying
their banners in the front line, they
swept down from the hills in splendid
formation and charged thunderously to
within about 400 yards Of the French
camp, which for a moment seemed to
be in danger Of being overridden. AS
they advanced the MOors chanted in
unison verses from the Koran. Irreg-
ular Algerian cavalry encountered the
first shock of the Moors' assault with
out yielding. General Drude quickly
deployed his forces to the greatest ad-
vantage and the Moors were submit
ted to fire of shot and shell, which soon
left the ground strewn with corpses.
1t Is estimated that in the engage
ments OF August 2S and September l..
about 500 Moors were killed.

No BOIL. WEEvu-s In THIS STATE
F. N. Chittenden, assistant entomolo-
gist of the department Of agriculture,
on Wednesday gave 1t as his firm be-
lief that there Is not boil weevil east
of the Mississippi, with the exception
of the state Of Louisiana. So far as
the pest being found in Laurens coun-
ty Is concerned, Mr.. Chittenden does
not think there is the remotest possi-
bility Of such a thing.
"I heard Of a pest in South Carolina
and elsewhere in the SOUTH" Mr.. Chit
tenden said, but l am satisfied 1t Is
not the Texas boil weevil. So far the
pest has not been discovered any
where east of the Mississippi with the
exception of Louisiana"
When asked If 1t were possible that
the weevil could have been carried to
South Carolina in cotton seed secured
by seed crushers there from Texas and
other states in the southwest. he said:
There is only one chance in a mill
lion for such a thing to happen. 1t
could only occur through some person

bears $6,OOO,O0O, the Atlantic Coast
Lire nearly $5,O00,0OO, the Seaboard
$500, 900 and the independent lines
about 500, 900. The increase is not due
to any improvements the roads have
