The first step toward deflecting New York’s Immigration tide and encouraging new settlers in the rural regions of the South will be taken soon when a shipload of Belgians will be taken direct to the port of Charleston, D. C., from Bremen in North German Lloyd steamer. The experiment is one in which the immigration officials are greatly interested, and although the im migrants will be forced to undergo the same rigid scrutiny at the South ern port as is required at Ellis Island the project will be helped along in other respects as much as possible. Arrangements for bringing the Belgian immigrants South were made by a special immigration commission of South Carolina. Efforts are being made to perfect a plan for the establishment for a regular im migrant line between Charleston and some European port.
