LATIMER IN WASHINGTON
Junior Senator Talks About Good
Roads and Immigration.
The Washington correspondent of
the Charleston News and Courier
sends that paper the following under
recent date:
Senator A. C. Latimer, who is jnst
back from a visit to the Greene Cop
per Mines in Mexico, stopped over in
Washington en route to New York
on a business trip. Senator Lati
mer says the mines are doing ad
mirably under the many improve
ments which have recently been made
and are now on a dividend paying
'basis.
Senator Latimer says he is great
ly interested in the subject of immi
gration in the south. The growing
industries of the south are badly off
for reliable labor. It is almost im.
possible to develop the natural re
sources of that section with colored
labor alone. There has been. a great
change in the colored laborer of the
south during the past few years. It
is difficult to get them to work the
plantations as they used to do. They
are eager to get into the cities and
towns and pick up a living without
doing any hard work if they can.
avoid it.
Senator Latimer favors resorting to
all reasonable means to induce a de
sirab:e class of immigrants to come to
the south, but he does not believe in
making the south the dumping ground
for the off-scouring of Europe. who
are brought over to this country as
immigrants. While in New York he
intends to give some attention to the
sulbject. along the lines set forth in
the. resolutions adopted at the South
ern Industrial Parliament, recently
held in this city.
Senator Latimer is preparing to
ease up on 1his crusade in favor of
ood roids. He still believes that
the doctrine of good roads, w1hich he
has so earnestly preached in all parts
of the country is sound, but he pro
poses to leave the question of govern
ment aid to be decided by the people.
He contends that if the people in the
rural districts.'who are to be direct
ly benefited by good roads, will in
sist upon congressional action, it will
surely come.
Tlhe $5o,ooo damage suit of the
Statesville Distillery against the
Richland Distilling company of Co
lumbia came up before Judge Braw.
l'ey in Charleston Monday and a
consent order was secured, providing
for the taking of testimony in the
case. The plaintiffs allege that the
IColumbia concern has infringed upon
its patented labels and bottles and
the suit is brought in the Federal
couart on a'.count of one of the.,.art
ies being of another state. R. Ha Mc
Neill represents the North Carolina
Distillery company and Captain John
G. Capers the Richland company.
A tive-year-old girl in Chicago died
after putting some toy beads ~in e

the beads contained arsenic. They

Preliminary peace negotiations are
f believed to be under way between
Russia and Japan, and it is conceded
that President Roosevelt will not act
Sas mediator, but as a friendly channel
of communication.
Sthe fund raised by said levy for the
enforcement of the dispensary law,
shall be refunded to the state treas
ury upon tihe collection of the tax
above levied. Any county voting out
a dispensary shall not thereafter re
ceive any part of the surplus that
fmay remain of the dispensary school
funds. after the deficiencies in the va
rious county school funds have been
made up. as provided by law. .Ap.

PRAISES CONGRESSM-AN AIX11
Address by Man Well Informed on
Economic Problems.
Gustave H. Schwab, one of the best
informed men on economic questions
in this country, recently delivered a
masterful address before the South
ern Industrial Parliament on "For
eign Commerce and Ocean Trans.
portation."
Though a. protectionist in time
past, he admits the crying necessity
for a more general application of the
doctrine of reciprocity. It must be
gratifying to those who have stood
consistently for a moderate "tariff
for revenue," to hear one of such
recognized ability admit that recipro s
city, on an extensive scale, is a nec
essity; for reciprocity is a subterfuge
from the too glaring evils of protec
tion. It is the democratic doctrine
dwarfed, maimed and in a new garb,
but nevertheless an improvement on
existing conditions.
There is l'ittle wonder, however
that leading men in the republican
party beginning with the president,
recognize the necessity for taking a
few brick from the tariff wall, when
the retaliatory protective idea is
gaining such strength in England,
and when Germany stands ready at
the expiration of our present trade
agreement to strike us from her list
of favored nations. This would
mean millions of loss to this country,
but, fortunately a very small portion
of the loss would fall on the South.
Mr. Schwaib advocates the reduction
of tariff as the best means of increas
ing and expanding trade and too
without a loss of revenue.
Another feature of this very inter
esting speech was his comprehen
sive review of conditions in the South.
He dwelt at length on the wonder
ful resources of tbie South, developed
and tndeveloped, and the great future
that- is before her, now somewhat
dormant for lack of intelligent labor.
He favored the introduction of the
better class of immigrants, and we
say in passing, that he commended
in the highest terms the bill intro
duced by Representative Aiken pro
viding for the intelligent distribution
of the better class. He quoted the
bill almost entirely and also quoted
freely from Mr. Aiken's speech in
support of the bill. Amongst other
paragraphs of interest quoted fron
his speech might be mentioned the
following interesting figures --"The
land area of the South is 585,310,000
acres. In 19oo the total farm acreage
was 387,690,426 acres. The total imn
proved acreage was only 145,185,599
This leaves about 242,ooo,ooo acres of
farm lands to be put into profitaible
cultivation. The unimproved farm
lands of the South give a greater area
fort settlement an2d cultivation than
~the total area of Texas, Louisiana and
Arkansas combined. Over 100,000,
ooo acres of this 'and lies east of the.
Mississippi river, anid there is corn
paratively a small amount of it which
is not available far crops of some
kind."
While Mr. Schwab's speech was
very complimen-ary to the south, ihe
pointed clearl-. and distinctly to
those things which retard develop
ment. In his discussion of the tariff
he depricated the selfishness of the
manufacturer' in resisting necessary
general 'refbrmers because the im
mediate result would appear to re
duce the bounty given him by tihe
government. He advocates the larg-~
er policy of developing friendly rela-.
tions and open ports for our goods
abroad rather than by an unfriendly
and( exorbitant tariff have the doors of
our best customersclosed in retalia
tio'n. This from one of the oldest
disciples of protection indicates, in
no small degree. the modification of
public sentiment on tariff the ques
tion which is and has been the divid
ing- line between renublicani m and
democracy.-Abbeville Press and
Banner.
