10 Few Foreigners Have Loca ted in the South So Far. HE STATES’ CO-OPERATION NEEDED Industrial Experts Predict That the Movement of Immigrants to Southern S ales Will Beg n About October. Washington.—The next act in the drama of the nation’s events will be a flood of immigration into the "Bouth not only from the North ; n 1 Middle West, but from countries of JCurope, especially those bordering on the Baltic and North sens. In quiry at the legations of Norway, Sweden and Denmark elieits the fact that the representatives of these countries are making special efforts to head their immigrating citizens into the country south of the Ohio and Potomac and east of the Missis sippi. These foreign ministers have gotten busy on the matter and are seeking all information regarding special advantages offered immi grants in the different localities of the South, especially m the states along the South Atlantic seaboard. The immigration into the Soutli from Europe has of late years been most meager. While the foreign settlers for the ten months ending May, 1910, were in New Jersey, 51,000, and nearly 25,000 in little llonnecticutt, there came into Geor gia from this source less than 500; North Carolina got a scant 800, and South Carolina but 156. Tennes see got just one over 500, while Virginia absorbe^l only 1,800. Ma ryland, with one-fifth the area of Virginia, got 5,000 of them. The small District of Columbia, a scant five by ten miles in area, received as many immigrants practically as the combined states of North Caro lina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. Now all this is going to be chang ed if the Southern states will co-op- crate with the efforts of the foreign representatives here in turning the tide in their direction. The class of immigrants to be thus obtained are of the most desirable type, the sturdy, hard'working, law-abiding men of North Europe. These men, when settled on the present waste lands of the South, will not only make good citizens from the start, but will rear up a breed upon the fertile acres full of stamina and vi tality. Industrial experts predict that the movement into the South will begin about October 1. Large tracts of land are being figured on ir Georgia and Florida by several pro moling companies as homes for the expected immigration, and in the Southern states farther north there are m.ov. ments of like character taking place. for physical reasons alone there would be little likelihood of Mr. Tillman ever again being able, to take up actively the work of a polit i cal leader. Before this last attack he had an illness that sent him abroad for months in an effort to recover, and since his return, though he soemhod about normal, he has dropped into the background. “All through the tariff light he seemed to be drifting along. 'JTno truth is, Tillman has lost his grrip on the state. Ever since lie defeated Hampton for the Senate his position lias I e si undisputed, but at bis last election when there wai no candidate whe dared oppose him, 15,000 men scratched his name on the bal ot just to show tliep didn’t like him. That was a straw in the wind, it’s strange but even at the bight of his power he had never been able to make office holders in the state and the dispen sary, which was his favorite issue, has been legislated out out of exis- teuence, in spite of his strenious de fence of it.” HE WROTE AIRY LETTERS ABOUT WIFE HE’O SLAIN SAYS MAN'S DAYS IN POLITICS ARE NUMBERED Deveux Porter ol Horry County States this Opinion. Washington, D. C., Sept. 25 “Senator Tillman never again will take an active part in Senate pro ceedings.and he will not be re-elected when his tern expires.” Deveux Porter of Horry county. South Carolina, in the lobby of the Metropolitan Hotel here to-dav thus summarized the political future of one of the most important figures in the national capital for many years. ‘'it is omnnnui talk in South (Jmvliua,'' said Mr. Porter, “that Remarkable Feature ol Porter Charlton’s Character Shown In Documents Written to Rela tives ol His Dead Wile. New York, Sept. 24.—Letters written by young Porter Charlton, after he had slain his wife and thrown her remains into Lake Como, Italy, according to his confession, which contain light and breezy com ment and reference to his wife as though she were sitting at his side while the espitles were being penned w'll 1 e submitted to Secretary of the S ate Knox by counsel for Captain H. H. Scott, brother of the murd ered woman, Captain Scott and his lawyers claim that the letters show that Charlton was sane. The letters were written to relatives of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton and contain airy commonplaces as though the writter’s mind was vexed by no care in the world—least of all the consciousness of murder. The most remarkable of the letters was written to Captain Scott, who was then stationed at Fort Morgan, Ala. This letter was mailed after the mur der had been committed. “This is a bully little cottage,” wrote Charlton in an enthusastic manner. “It will indeed be hard to go hack to business after an idyl like this. It is very delightful af ter the throb and the strife and the damning routine of ihe city.” In a postscript he said: “In reading this over to Mamie she says that I have told you about honey suckles, but have entirely omitted that we live on Lake Como, where we will be for the next two months One of the letters is written to Miss Kate Scott, a sister of the captain, living in San Francisco It started in this way: “No doubt you think that ,>we two have fallen on some unfenced place on this old world, but such is not the case. Merely is a very sick little lady—Mamie—and the honey moon.” Mrs. Charlton was dead when her husband wrote about her so lightly. Another of the letters was mailed to Mrs. Frederick Lcwin of 2868 Park, ave., Montreal, an other sister. Chariton in this letter spoke of his wife-as “a dear sweet girl.” Bring your Job Print ing to The Progress office. We have the best equipped plant in this section. Tax Levy County Purposes.
