Appeal From Dr. Derieuy.

DR.. w. T. DerieuX, corresponding
secretary of the State mission board,
with Headquarters at Greenville, S.
c., has issued the following appeal to
the Baptists of Bamberg and vicinl-
ty:
Il am addressing you through
your community paper, as well as
through the Baptist Courier. appeal
ing to you to enable me by personal
gift from each of you-to pay an en-
barrassing debt now resting on your
State mission board.
quite a number of people have
sent contributions, varying from
twenty-five cents to ten dollars, but
the amount does not near pay the
debt. By just a small sacrifice and
some self-denial, hundreds OF our
people could send me at least one
dollar on this debt. This, l beg you
to do. Please do not imagine that
your neighbors will send theirs and
therefore you need not bother to
send yours. This is probably just
what your neighbor is thinking about
you.
"If you send cash, you will re-
ceive a receipt at once, but if you
send a check or postoffice order, you
will need no receipt. The name OF
each giver, and amount given, is put
on my book of remembrance. Act
at once, so we can settle this early
in Fehrrary"

KILLING IN AIKEN COUNTY
"Craps" Alleged Cause of Beach Is
land Tragedy.

Aiken, January 19.-Sunday af-
ternoon about o'clock Sheriff How
ard received word that a negro had
been killed at Beech Island, and he
and Rural Policeman S. E. Holley inn
mediately went to the scene. Upon
reaching Beech Island it was found
out that Joree Barrett had killed A..
B. Hart on the place of Mr.. Dawson
Atkinson, about o'clock. From all
accounts it seems that the killing
was the result of trouble which start
ed during a game Of craps.
1t was some time after Sheriff
Howard and Policeman Holley reach
ed Beech Island before the negro was
found. When arrested he had
made away with the gun and was
walking around. The officers went to-
the scene of the shooting with Coro-
ner SpEadley and found the dead ne
gro lying where he had fallen, with
no one else around. The body was
placed in an outhouse and the in
quest was held yesterday afternoon.

Suppose the Immigrants Would All
Go Back Home.

North of the Potomac and Ohio
| rivers and east of the Mississippi
river live about half of all the people
of continental United States. Within
that section, included in the forego-
ing half. are 100000 persons who
when the census man comes round
give him some place in foreign
country as that of their birth. Hence,
when starting out for the day, If one
| lives in this industrial section OF
America, one is likely to run up
against foreign born person in near
| ly every fourth, man or woman one
meets. And the stream of immigra-
ton has not dried up.
There is no danger that it will do
so, but just suppose that these 1O,-
100000 of men and women were to
pack up their belongings late on
some afternoon and that night de-
part for the lands they came from!
Reared in rural regions of Europe,
these people can have no special
fondness for our sitting tenelnents
and our unprotected coal mines.
American cities can show many quite
as unpardonable tenements as can
European cities, and American mines
are constantly imprisoning helpless
and hapless men, and t3king bsg tolls
in tragic deaths. Why should imml-
grants remain? What base of COM
plaint would Americans have if their
bakers. confectioners, clothiers, ice
men. coal beavers, railroad and cellar
diggers, their almost every form OF
manual labor, and small tradesmen,
did 20 back to scenes of their child
hood?
But the days Immediately follow
ing their departure would be desolate
ones for those of us who remain. A
bad night for America indeed!
This is the day when Americans
look to their waterpower, their soils,
Boundless in resources, Americans
! have been prodigal in the use. often
in the waste, of them. But now all
is changed. What we have we have
decided to take care of. What we
have not, but may have by proper
handling, we are training ourselves
to get. Efficiency in shop, on farm,
in mine, in publicity, in salescraft-
such is the order everywhere.
One commodity of transcendent
importance is left out Of these con-
servative considerations by a good
many people. That commodity is
American national character. Where
did America get it? 1t is unlike the
character of any other nation. For
tunately these foreign-born peoples
who might go away between some
sundown and sunrise cannot take

thought to their characters. These

ing their value, and willing to drop

The Jew is bringing with him to
America an intensely earnest and val-
liable family iife He is loyal to his
! blood relatives. He guards the nome.
Fairly free from crime, he is temper
ate and he has a passion for right
ecusness.
Italians are moral. While fond Of
dancing, there is only one dance hall
! in New York city that is kept by an
Italian. And into that hall no italian
girl goes. Mothers of Italian girls
have the conscientious cooperation Of
the proprietor of this one hall to SEQ
that Italian girls do not go there.
So this new Christian conservation,
this character making for new
America, are what churches have en-
tered upon. Tenets are that mistakes
and neglect of past immigrant years
are not to be repeated. The imml-
grants are not to be exploited. They
are not to be urged to drop their
individualism. They are to be en-
eouraged to make their largest con-
tribution of American character and
in turn America is to give them Of
it's best. No risks are to be taken.
It is to be a conservation that con-
serves and that eventually will make
an American character worthy and
lasting, one that the rest OF the world
will admit to be in keeping with our
position as world power.

with them the contribution they have
made to American character. We are
lucky to that extent These millions
more who enter at New York and
other ocean harbors are bringing
more characteristics to dump into
America most remarkable
human melting pot the world ever
knew. 1t is Pentecost repeated, but
on a scale that the original Pente-
cost never dreamed of.
, Those who know say we got our
hustle in politics from the Irish. The
English have politics, but it is not the
American kind. Our kind is the Irish
kind, the land on top quality. Cramp-
ed in a small if fertile island Irish
men had need for larger quarters and
they found them here. Irishmen came
here and taught us how to fight and
win at the ballot box. A few un>
worthy'men and methods foated in,
but by and large the contribution of
the Irish to American political char
acter has been tremendous in volume
of value. And through America as a
practice place Irishmen in politics
have Influenced the whole world,
even Ireland and England them
selves.
Politics was by no means all of the
contribution to our national traits
made by the Irish, any more than the
Christmas tree, sausage, beer and
music were all of the contributions of
the Germans. Politics, sausage and
beer were things Irish and German
brought with them over the ocean
chiefly because it never occurred to
them to leave them behind. And
America is infinitely richer because
Of their thoughtfulness. Germans
have given to American character
frugality, thoroughness and indus
trial training.
How poor would be American
character, for example, had not the
Dutch thrown in their stubbornness,
their sot in their way makeup, their
cleanliness and their missionary
zeal? The Scotch brought hither al
so their missionary zeal and threw
that in. But the kindly and canny
Scot, famed for certain drinks made
in his highlands, kept ADVERTISE
ments of them in his newspaper at
home. Such part of America as may
stand in need of the anti-saloo1
campaign on which Christian En-
deavor and others are launched can
not lay blame for their plight at
Scotch doors.
Today three great types of peoples
who arrive at immigrant stations of
American ports, bringing with them
young blood and strong character,
are Jews, Slavs and Latins. They
prepare their baggage for their pas
sages hither and they provide money

ernment engineers shows that
there is water supply in the
semi arid and the arid regions Of
the west sufficient to irrigate ap-
proximately 100000 acres, or
enough land to furnish homes for
100000 people, which is big item
in these days Of land scarcity.
The government is spending more
than 100000 a month in reclama-
ton work, and still it can not sup
ply land fast enough to meet the
demand.
The cost of single battleship in
vested in an irrigation work will
supply 1000 families with perma-
nent homes on the land, and every
dollar will in time be returned to the
federal treasury with interest.
We have spent $5O0,0OO,OOO to
construct the Panama canal.
A loan of like sum invested in
irrigation would make homes Of four
acres each for 25O,O0O families and
insure the future prosperity of l.
250,0O0 people without taking dol
lar permanently from the govern
ment treasury.
On the basis Of the present annual
returns from government irrigated
lands, the products Of this new area
each year wovld have a value Of
$250000,000, equal to one-half the
total investment.
An appropriation of $100,000,000
should be made Immediately avail
able for this work.
Under the wise and comprehens-
I'VE plans of Secretary Lane, it is
certain that with such sum avail
able the several western states
would cooperate by appropriating
like sum for the prompt construc-
ton of irrigation projects.
There are 30,000,000 acres of des-
ert that can be reclaimed and there
are 100000 families that want to
put this land in crop.
What are We going to do about itf
In order to preserve the economic
and social balance of this country,
we must during the next decaae, 1e-
vote more attention to its cSricul-
tural development.
The pendulum of population must
be swung sharply forward, and the
massing of people in centers already
congested must cease.
During the last 80 years the drift e
has been steadily cityward. In 1880
70 per cent of the population was ru-
raj; in 1910 it was only 54 per cent.
In all but two states the urban pop
ulation is now increasing faster
than the rural.
1t is up to Uncle Sam to get busy.
So should western congressman, :

There is no doubt that President
