THE SOUTH CAROLINA EXODUS LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 21.- A score of negro emigrants from South Carolina reached here to-day on they way to Southern Arkansas, where they will settle. More are coming in January and February. Several hundred will leave Aiken, Hampton, and Barnwell Counties for this State. The emigrants now here say they left South Carolina because the crop or cotton has been short for some seasons past, and that their share of it has been taken by the landlords under the lien law, and also that they have no political rights in that State. They say the exo- dus will take all black labor from numbers of sections and leave planters without help. They say the black men have no future in that State.
