THE BLAME PLACEP. CtobcUr Acker u4 Engineer ■«Star Vitiated Mm and Mast Lmt* Servic«. ColawhU But*. Conductor B. W. Acker end Engineer J. H. Hunter of tke ill-fated Ogden special that was wrecked in the Greenville yards on the morning οI April 29th, and upon whom the official· of the Southern railway contended before investigation of the rail road commissioners that the re sponsibility rested, were dis missed from tbe service of the Southern yesterday. The dismissal was made on the ground that they violated Rule 1. of the rales governing the rttnning of trains by not hav ing their train under control when they came into the Green· ville yards. This rule read· as follows : "Role 1. Yard limit· are indicated by aigu boards reading 'Yard Limit,' located on either aide of Spencer, Salisbury, Charlotte, Spartanburg Junc tion, Greenville, Toccoa, Lula, Athens, Elbertou, Armour and Atlanta. Switching and other engine· and trains may work within these limits without re gard to class sad inferior trains, but must give way immediately upon their approach. Second class and inferior trains must approach and run through the yard limits under full control, expecting to find tbe main track occupied. Id case of accident, responsibility rests with ap proaching train." The conductor and engineer contended at the investigation by the commissioners that their train was not of an inferior class and had the right to eater the yard at a rate of speed which wuuiu dive oc en equivalent to that permitted a first clasa pas senger train running on ι régu ler schedule. Both Acker and Hunter were represented at the investigation proceedings by their attorneys; the former by G. Duncan Bellinger and the latter by J. T. Barron.

SOME FACTS AlfD FANCIES. —■v joam— Surrounded by every confort, a luxurious borne, · kind ana indulgent father. a noble chris tian mother, the 14-year old son of Mr. and Mir·. John A. Roeb ling, · wealthy and influential family of Aaheville, after writ ing a note in which he said that ha intended to roam for awhile, turned his back on boue, moth er. father, friends, and every thing that was dear to him, and went out into the cold world to seek his fortune. Tired of the bum drum life of school; with a longing for the uunaual. and tbc •pint of spring in his aowl—theae arc per bap· toe influences that led yonng Seigfrled Roebling to do aa many another boy haa done before. It ta the sum aad atory —a hungering and tbiratingafter those things that we have not; the reading of cheap literature— building of castles in the air: deludeo with the idea that be knew best, that his parents were all wrong and that he could pad dle hia own canoe down Uie's whirling tide, unassisted and alone. Tbl· lad of barely fifteen summers baa become a wanderer on the face of the earth. Haa beard the "Call of the Wild." It remaina to be aeen how long >k;. ι _:ii -ι—^ rove. And alter be has tasted of the bittatweaa at life, spent his substance is riotous living, as it were, he will bethink him self and do as they all do—teturu to the sheltering roof of the pa· rental domicile. The father, who by the way, is a aon of the bnilder of that world fatunur structure which spans east river, known as Brook· lyo bridge, no doubt thinks aad (eels as did Robert Iugersoll, who wrote this: "My child, go where you will, commit what crime yon may, but remember that this is your home and in me rou always have one friend left." And when the wanderer returns it is safe to predict that the fatted calf will be killed and there will ' i>e feasting and rejoicing in the household ofthe Roebhngs. There is a great deal being laid about inducing foreign la· tor to come to the southland. Why all this much ado about lothing? Me thinks it bodes ao good· Ever since the first icttlers pitched their tents on the shores of Carolina and per manetly settled in the South aearly three hundred years ago there has been very little itumi· nation other than the original icttlers,.come this way. We have net gradually bu tided our way ap without the assistance of an nflux of imigTants. But, it has reached the point Vhen some* thing must be done. We need aborers for our farms, the cot· lob mills are crying for more help, the railroads want able bodied men to construct tbeir last increasing mileage of tracks that is reaching out like the tentacles of aa octopus and touching the remotest places in ill the Southland. Industrial meetings and parlementa are King· held tad grot ta en are making eloquent speeches, and telling of tfae great need of labor, tad ill the wail* oar great cities ire full to overflowing with the Idle and unemployed. If one ioubt» the statement, all be need do is to wander down the thoroughfares on the east aide la New York any time, bnt more especially during the winter months and if yon are looking for laborers yon will be swamped with applications. The solution »f the problem is to give the Hosts of poor Ic the great cities ι chance to work', to earn an honest dollar. Send the labor Wents to the city of New York ind there will be no trouble to lecure all the labocen needed for the South. It is sakl that at the present time there is in the rity of New York alone ten thousand able bodied men with out any regular employment. Why is this? The solution of the labor problem is to give work to every man that is out of a Job. There is no need to send to the old country for assistance, we have enough people in this coun try to SU all the vacancies In the ranks of labor for years to come. Ever seen an (migrant ship come Into port? No. well, just for the novelty of the thing yo« tea]· ly ought to see the sight. Talk about excluding tke Chinese, and oh I yes, we have immigration laws. Of coarse, we have, bnt the trouble is tney are like · great many other lew·, not en forced. You know one has te have in Us pocket the sum of *30 In good American money or the equivalent before ha can fond in this country. Just think of it. $301 This is the only sht boletb, the * Magic Jimmy* that opens the door to ev«ry criminal from no matter where. It Is η custom of the Knropeen conn. — trie» to ship their rlffrsl and •cum to Am·rie» ; nod unite lik*· ly are.glad to get rid of than at do more coat tbaa $30. The writes has seen tbeac cat tle. It U a bard word, bot really one can think of no more appro· priata name to dub them as I bey land oo tbe dock·. And such a lot. Of all tbe motley crowd· the Baropean immigrant caps the climax. Tbe Poles, Russian Jew», Dokbobor·, Da goes, Assyrians, and all the rest are tberc. And such a iabber and chatter. It reminds one of a cure of monkeys. Tbcy arc all hltby, towsel-headed; it ia only a question of wbicb nation ality ia the most grimy. The " nigger" has been slandered for lo these many years «bout the odor that arises from his ebony cuticle. Zounds! He cannot hold a candle by the side of tbe " Da»©" and 1 mean by Dago any foreigner of the riff-caff element. Upon my word, I never aaw a Chinaman that was not Meek aud shining like a new dollar. Pot mine, I think I prefer tbe Jap or "Chink" to any of tbe other*. There is a desirable immi grant, tboagb. If onr people ate wise tbey will go further north than Italy for prospective immigrants. Go to Norway, or to Sweden and there will be rouna me mm cum οι would be immigrants. The reuoo for this u nol bard to solve. I have seen every Nationality under tbe no. I think, and the beat arorker, toe moat lav abid· in?, induirions and self ft· ipcctinr of tkev «11 is the Swede and Norwegian. If we have to have tbe ioTeirn labor by all mean* get the beat. I ae« soma well meaning man haa suggested the French Canadian for cotton mill help. Bless your soul, these people have all ready tried tbe United States; for through· out New England will be found thousands of them who have left Quebec looking for better conditions and have not been much benefitted by tbe change. At .any rate, the statistics abow that thousands are leaving and returning to Cauda. Tbe rea son of this is very plain. Westera Canada is jnst being opened np and thonsaada of stnrdy farmer· and mechanics arc wanted to grow np with tbe coaotry. For there is no more fertile land than that to be found in Western Can ada. In the North West Terri tories, they are called. While soioorniag in that neck of the woods, I had tbe good fortune to witness a very interesting sight : daring: one day 1 saw ten train loads of Eastern Canadians going to British Columbia, Al berta and other different provin ces. Bach train bad not leaa| than 15 coaches chock fell and : one section had twenty car loads of humanity— all "g ο i n* out West" to grow np with tbe coantry. Oh, no, my kind friend, tbe Canadian baa a better place to settle. Tbe wheat fields of Manitoba, Sunny Alberta, Brit ish Columbia, are calling for strong hands and brave hearts to till their virgin soil and right nobly are the "Canucks" re sponding too. It is the same cry that rent the air in this coantry 30 years ago. Weat M«l Hot WMMfri rH. of Bmpirea weeds it* way is u true of Canada bow as it wn of the United States in years cone by. Hwhiury. A visitor, evidently from tbe country, nnked the manager of a quick-Tench cafe at. watch he stopped to refresh tbe inner man the other day where be conld see etc· boiled bv machinery. This was a poser lor the mana ger for apme little time, as Uw visitor could not make himself clear as to the process. All he knew was that he bad been told before Leaving home to he sura and see em boiled by machin ery when ne went to Philadel phia. At last tbe <1 sick-lunch man bethought himself that he might be able to show the de sired sight la his own establish ment and took the inquirer bsck to the kitchen. There be pointed ont η contrivance whereby aa egg. placed in a wire wicker· work receptacle, was lowered into boiling water aad then'au tomatkaliv lifted ont by clock* work, which could he operated so as to boil the egg for aay period from three to she minutes, accordingly sa the clock was set. The visitor studied this for some time, while several orders for boiled eggs were being fllled, and thea left with the remark: "I guess that's about it."

Mar »~ Tb« efforts of the South to in duce immigration to that region will not dcfpe the attention of the Jtptiac, and la the comae of a lew yean theie will be aa influx of Japanese fanner· into Southern State*. The first acttlemeat of Japa· ncae for agricultural purposes will be made in Texas, aod the Jape wûl t<ow rice, with the cultivation of which they are more familiar than anything else. ICinaabnio Qada, a Danker tad farmer of Formosa, visited Texas last fall and investigated condi tions there. Ha found them to his liking and be Is now encans in collecting 1,000 Japanei~ farmers, who will cultivate rice on an area of shoot 10,000 acres, giving about ten acres to each farmer. In Japan few farmers have over three or foor acres of ground and only the wealthy ones have as much as tea acres, owing Ato the scarcity of lend.' The itw m they have, h cultivate with the greatest' c*n. a ! .a kccDiucr Ibex i^ifndkl yields at all ne coiony «nie· UMI will bring here will be the fin* of ha kind in the coiBtiy aed will «I· tract much attention in the Sooth where nse tI the States, notably South Carolina, in spend ing m obey right along to ihdoce would tccdw tbe asms walcoms aa white men from Scotland nod other ports of Ha rope is « ques tion that will have to be nettled. A sew race iaaoe (tight be In· jected into the Sooth should the thrifty Japs gain lodgment in that section, and the negro, who is fast leaving the South, might object to his place being filled by the "yellow peril" of Aeia. In an interview la a Japanese paper, which is repotted to the state department, Gada soya that fanning is abont the only enter priae the Japanese coula profit· ably undertake ia America. The Americana devote ao mod time to manufacturing, he aays, bat they do not give much time to agriculture, and willingly pay high prices for vegetables and grains. The uncultivated portions of Texas are larger than all tbe territory of Japan. The land to be taken np baa been need for gracing, and Gada has made ax- ' rangements with a railroad com pany, which owns it, to porehaae 1 the property at *■nominal figure 1 whenever be ia ready. Ha will 1 purchase altogether 50,000 acres and U the Japanese prosper, they will be allowed to cultivate ' more lead. Gada tbiahs that the Japanese could raiae nearly everything they wanted to eat, the coat of the other things ne cesanry to their axiale occ not amounting to over IS ceuta a day, ha says. Gada intends to invest some thing Khe *00,000 to start ofi and believe» that tbe profit· in a few yean would be eaormoua. He hotda out a roey prospect to tu Japanese who win coaw with Un. These are no special restric tion· against Japaaeae coning into this country. They are bound by the same i m ni frit ion laws aa other nationalities and are not sahjoct to the exclusion laws that apply to tha Chinese. On the Pacific coast the people are raisin* a howl aaralnst tbt Japanese, especially the labor ing organisations, which claim that the Orientals ara loweti^ There ««—. planta days ago some of these struck and brought about trouble oa oaa of the large plaa tatious.
