wittskind Has Arrived.

Charleston, Feb. 9.-The North Ger.
man Lloyd steamship Wittekind ar;
rived in port today on her second
| voyage to Charleston from Bremen
with a number Of immigrants and d
valuable cargo, docking at Columbus
street wharf shortly after 10 O'Clock.
This big vessel arrived at Guaran-
tine last night about Z O'Clock. She
was boarded by Quarantine Officer
Baylis II. Earle, and with satisfac-
tory report upon the health of the YES
sci, crew and passengers, she was re-
leased and later she came up the har-
Dor at the head of the Columbus street
pier. The special facilities of this
wharf for the discharging Of the kal-
nit cargo suggested her docking here
rather than lower down the water
front. Several passenger coaches
were run down on siding for the
movement of the immigrants out OF
Charleston tonight and. tomorrow.
The discharging of the cargo of the
vessel will not be begun until Mon
day.
Eighteen days were consumed on
the voyage from Bremen to Charles
ton, one day longer than on the first
memorable trip of the vessel to
Charleston last November.
There were probably so people of
different nationalities, largely Ger
man, who were outside Of the line on
Columbus street, patiently waiting
the landing of relatives and frienos
and later in the day, when the immi-
grants did come ashore, there were
many very affecting scenes between
the newly arrived passengers and
those who had preceded them to this
country. The conglo meration of
handkerchief covered heads and dis
play of shawls and clothing of many
colors and designs was striking as on
the previous trip of the vessel. Many
of the immigrants were made to feel
at home when they found their rela-
'tives and friends, clothed as before,
they feeling that the new country
was perhaps not SO different from
their own after all.
While the number of immigrants Oh
the second voyage of the WitJeklnd is
less than on the former, the value Of
her cargo is about the same.
Ou CllN P1OoOAo fSy os5S, YIN w 80
kind brought 121 passengers. The
immigrants are largely Austrian with
about Is Belgians and some Hungari-
ans and are of much better class
than those of the former trip, tact
atsested to by both Commissioner
Watson and the officers of the vessel.
They are largely agricultural and
many servants are among the num-
Der, but there are also people Of vari-
Gus vocations. A notable .tact, how
ever, Col. Watson said, was in the
better condition Of the people and
also the fact that there was larger
percentage of families among the i'm
migrants. One of the immigrants, a
farmer, is worth $4,000 marks, and he
proposes to buy farm and settle in
this State.
Of the immigrants about IS people
will be sent to Columbia and the Pied
mont section and the rest will be dis
tributed in Charleston and through
the lower section of the State. Com

This session of the Legislature has
been a busy one, ard we regret that
on account of our limited space we
have been forced to leave out many
important matters that have been dis
posed of at this session. Most of the
bills, however, have been local, and
we have tried to give an insight into
all matters of general interest, and
will, at the close of the SESSION, give
general review of the work done by
that august body of men.

Last week the editor of this paper
was in Columbia at the night session
of the legislature, and while Mr.. Tai
bert, a staunch prohibitionist was ad-
dressing the house, and at a time
when you could have almost heard a
pin fail, so close did the speaker have
the attention of the audience, pint
bottle of "Fuss X'' fell from the pock-
et of a prominent Lexington county
rentleman. The incident was anus
ing and attracted no little attention.
We might add that the gentleman is
a strong anti-dispensary man.

wednesday, February 13. 1907.

We have time and time again called
the attention OF our people to the
great Importance of holding on to ev-
cry inch of the territory we now have.
Taere is new movement ON foot TO
cent OFF, a portion of Orangeburg,
Aiken and Lexington counties in or
darto form the new county of Edlsto'
the county seat of which will be Wag-
eaer or Perry.
There is no county in the State IN
better condition than Lexington; IN
fact her financial condition is the
best in the State. Last year, after
paving all court expenses and county
claims, the treasurer had a balance OF
over 5000. Why should the people
of Lexington want this change? we
contend that the little inconvenience
Is not sufficient to satisfy the selfish
design of the promoters, who only
waatto make the change for personal
gain only. we have had protests
from citizens living in the territory
proposed to be taken from US, against
the formation of this new county, and
we are surprised to see in this last
move, men who should be the last to
champion such cause.
We trust that the good people OF
this section will not heed the glowing
pictures laid before them by the pro-
morersef this scheme, but will, at the
proper time, raise cry and by their
votes forever bury the proposed new
county.
We viii later give further facts and
figures why the people of Lexington
should not favor this move.

Throat Was Cut.

Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 1o.-The
b ,dy Of John A. Finley, a we'll known
young man Of Montgomery, "a years
of age and unmarried, was found early
today in lonely spot in the south
western edge of the city. The throat
was cut and there were forty-five
gashes in the face and neck. Robbery
is believed to have been the motive
for the crime, as Finley's pockets had
been emptied. Five negroes are held
by the police as suspects.

Among the many bills o interes51n
the legislature is one introduced by
Representative Nicholson, of Ecge-

OF $500 for the entettainment OF

reunions. This is but-just and right,

Taxes.

The tax levy for Lexington county
for next year as been fixed by the
Legislature as follows: For State
purposes, 4 k mills; ordinary county
tax, 8 Il mills; constitutional school
tax, 8 mills; total, II mills. Interest
on Columbia, Newberry and Laurens
railroad bonds, Z q mills, while the
State tax is one-half mill less than
last year. Our county tax is the
same.
We have advocated and asked our
members to make specific tax for
sanding and claying our noads like
those Of Barnwell Ind Aiken ooun-
ties, which are creditable to those
counties. Lexington is greatly in
need of better roads, and it is a re-
.fectibn to find her behind her sister
counties in this much needed improve
ment. The county expenses can be
met with 8 mill tax, and the half
mill could easily be spared to drain,
clay and sand the roads, thereby
leaving the levy as it is now, and
without further burdening our tax
payers. We have implicit confidence
in Supervisor Koon and rely on his
coed Judgment in road work. Give
him the power and he will do the
rest.

OVATION IN CARACAS

Caracas. Venezuela, March 16.--by
way of Willemstad, Island of Gu
racao. March 19.-President Castro,
finding the air of AIacuto growing
hot, returned to Caracas yesterday,
|giving evidence of wonderful i'm
provement in his health. A bed had
been placed in special railroad car,
but the president refused to occupy
i. and sat up during the two hours
"trip, gazing at the marvelously beau
Itiful mountain scenery.
When the train arrived here thou
sands of people 1ined the streets and
ia regiment of troops guarded the
railroad station. President Castro
walked unassisted from the train to
his carriage, strolling on the plat
form for few moments before en-
tering the vehicle with his sister.
As presidential salute was fred
by a battery of artillery, the ear
riage rolled slowly over the rough
cSbbe stones to the music of bands
and between lines Of soldiers. Mrs.
Castro, Drs. Revenga and Baldo and
Others followed.
The resolution of the president to
cCme to Caracas was taken suddenly
yesterday. He decided to live at
the Villa Ignacio, which is situated
In a healthful part of the city.
