Efforts to Get White Labor.

II understand You are attempting to

There has been an attempt made in
that direction and the legislature has
created a bureau Of immigration to bring
into the state from Europe a white ten
antry and supply of agricultural la
borers. 1t has been in operation about
four years, with but little success so far
The reasons for it's failure are that for
eign immigration has been directed else
Where toward the northwest for more
tran half a century, and it Is difficult to
turn the tide this way. Several other
causes operate against the success of
any such system. Climatic conditions
are not favorable to white labor in this
locality and white and black labor will
not mix. Social conditions in the south
among the working classes always in
volve the race question, and that is
difficult to solve. Furthermore. immi-
grants can get cheaper lands elsewhere
The prices of desirable lands in South
Carolina are so high az to preclude their
purchase by men of ordinary means. The
valuable cotton lands on the coast are
beyond the reach of immigrants. The
same may be said Of the arabic lands
in the pine belt and in the Piedmont sec
ton. The only lands that are available
to foreign immigrants are in the malarial
portion of the state and where the soil
is poor.

Shenandoah, Oct. 14.-Found dying
in the home of her sweetheart and by
her side, lying in the throes Of death,
the object of her affections, a double
tragedy that has fairly caused an up
heaval in Shenandoah, was uncovered
last night, when officers and the neigh
bors of Mr.. and Mrs. Lebbeus Bright,
retired farmer. forced an entrances
and found their son, Harley Bright.
and Esther Cook, daughter Of neigh
Dor, lying on the floor Of a little bed
room weltering in each others blood.
Both Shot in Head.
Near by was found a small rifle.
Both young people had been shot in
the head, Bright in the forehead and
the Cook girl in the right eye. Neither
has regained consciousness, and their
deaths are certain, says physicians.
The elder Brights are visiting at
Conway, Iowa. The son. aged "a, had
been a suitor for the hand Of Esther
Cook, who, however, is only Is years
old. and mere school girl. Her
mother is a widow.
Solution in Court Records.
After searching everywhere for a
solution to the evident deliberate at
tempt at murder and suicide, the con-
clusion has been reached that the se-
quel of the tragedy is written in the
courts of this county. Esther Cook was
to have been witness against young
Bright in a case wherein he and his
sister were charged with having en-
ticed away another girl. This latter
girl and Esther Cook were chums, al
tho both were enamored OF Bright.
That they were jealous Of Rrights
| attention is said to have been we'll
known. The presumption is that Bright
had called the Cook girl into his home
and that quarrel ensued over the ma
| ture of the testimony that she was to
give In the suit about to be heard
against him The shots were heard by
neighbors, which caused the investiga-
tion revealing the tragedy.

1AFr,s TRAIN HooDooED.
Engine Leaves Rails While Climbing
Steep Grade Near Embankment.

Cadiz. o., Oct. 14-Taft's special
train met with another accident today.
1t occurred on a spur running from the
Pennsylvania railroad at Cadiz juno
ton to Cadiz While the train was
climbing steep grade the front trucks
of one of the engines jumped the rails
and went humping along the track for
two car lengths before the train could
be brought to stop. On one side of the
track there was an embankment about
twenty feet. If the tender had plunged
over it the result would have been
serious.
delay Of about half hour was
caused by the accident. Before the ten
der had left the track Taft had anoth-
er unpleasant experience. His train got
half way up to Cadiz on the spur when
the engines stuck on the grade and had
to 20 back to Cadiz Junction. where
Taft's private car and another Pull
man were detached to tighten the train.
Taft moved up into one of the COM
partment cars occupied by newspaper
men. Taft stayed in Cadiz half hour
and he spoke before large crowd in
the village square.
At wellsville Taft was taken to the
public square in an automobile, from
which he spoke. At Empire and Tor
onto he spoke to large crowds from
the rear of the train, and at the con-
clusion fhis addresses took a seat on
the lower car step and shook hands
with as many Of his audience as could
reach him during the short stop. The
arguments of the candidates used
were principally asking his hearers to
pass back to the last democratic ad-
ministration and then pressing home
the. question, "What reason is there for

The presses worked all night. Early
in the morning this literature was

Dallas, S. D., Oct. 14.-United States
Commissioner Arson Wagar of this

charge Of the Rosebud land opening.
A warrant has been issued for the
deposed commissioner on account Of
Wagar went to Sioux Falls last night
and is not expected to return to Dallas
until today.
The general basis Of action relates
to the fact that the deposed commits
sioner worked his official title too
much to foster his private interests
during the registration period. Estab-
fishing large office here, with a dozen
notaries in his employ, he carded in
coming trains with literature that was
taken by visitors to be official advice.
This advice included mild suggestion
that the "safe" plan was to go to the
commissioners office for registration
papers.
The result of the situation is that he
has been doing a big business on reg
istration besides inducing thousands
to deposit additional money for tel
egraphic news in case Of success in the
drawing.
The hundred and fifty notaries not
connected with the commissioners Of
flee, altho having equal authority and
jurisdiction, have been viewed with
suspicion as grafters. There is no sug-
gestion of irregularity and the COM
missioners handling of applications
and those who took that route have no
occasion to feel nervous.

ture aggressive men who stand for
the rights of the people will have to be-
ware.
Some of the members of the Iowa
department, c. A. r., are said to OBJ
ject emphatcaly to the effort being
made to use the grand army for po-
litical purposes and to represent that
ex- Congressman Lacey is the G. A. Il.
candidate for senator at the republi-
can primary. In the literature being
sent out by Julian Richards and asso-
ciates much stress is placed on the
fact that Lacey is a soldier, and pre-
sllmably all soldiers will be expected
to vote for him. 1t appears that about
three weeks ago q dispatch from Logan
was published telling that the Veter-
ans in that part of the state were not
in full agreement as to having Lacey
appear as the G. A. X. candidate. Some
of the old soldiers have investigated,
and the facts seem to be about as
follows: That at the last state en-
campment Department Commander
! Milliman. on behalf of his post, intro
duced resolution endorsing the pro-
posed amendment of the McCumber
pension law reducing the age for serv-
ice pensions from 70 to 90; that TINS
went to a committee of which Lacey
was a member and that it Is asserted
Lacey wanted to not report the reSo-
lution: that he made a hard fight
against it. and asked Milliman to with
draw 1t, and declared that in his opin-
ion the pension legislation had gone far
1ft
nearly all night, NIilliman sent word
that If the committee smothered the
resolution he would make fight for
it on the floor of the convention, after
which Lacey gave in and agreed 10
permit the resolution to be reported.
/ The resolution was so reported ana
adopted, and has since been adopted
at the national encampment. AS to
whether or not there is any ground
whatever for the criticism OF Lacey
made by members of the G. A. X. Tor
his alleged lack of sympathy with this
resolution nobody outside of the G. a.
X. seems to know. There has been no
effort made to use it politically, and
it is regarded as a matter entirely
among the members of the order
1t is also stated that some years
ago an effort was made to have the
Iowa delegation line up for this change
in the law and Governor Cummins
was enlisted on behalf of the soldiers.
and that he was very influential in Its
favor, but only made the objection
| that in his opinion the age limit should
be GA and not 65, the former being the
/, retirement age for soldiers.
