CAPITALIST IS INTERESTED Detroit Man Will Look Over Field With View to Building Abbeville-Anderson Easley Trolley Lino. Special to the State. Anderson, Feb. 18or-It seems that th?>| efforts to get some Northern capitalist in terested in building the electric line from Easley to Abbeville via. Anderson is bear ing fruit. E. M. Hopkins of Detroit, who has built several railroads and who has plenty of capital behind him, has telegraph ed to M. N. Patterson, who has been pro moting the construction of the road, that he will te in Anderson within the next few days and will bring with him some ex pert engineers, who will go over the pro posed route with a view of preparing es timates of the cost of building the road. The proposed road will pass though some of the very best farming lands in South Carolina. The territory is thickly settled by farmers of considerable means who have expressed their intention of contri buting liberally to the project. The length of the road will be (JO miles. SOLONS TAKING A SHORT RECESS. After its regular term of 40 days, the , general assembly has found it necessary to prolong its session, and will reconvene next Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. The senate and house both adjourned I last Saturday night at 11:30 o'cloct witn the appropriation bill still in the hands of 1 the free conference committee. It was ex t.1 nfif.tfid that the bill would be sent to the governor Saturday night, but the free con ference committee struck a "snag." As a result, the bill can not go to the governor until next Wednesday night, This is the tirst time in the lust few years that a "! Sunday morning session of the general ? j assembly has not beeu held. Very few of I the members went home Saturday, and the session Saturday night was well at " I tended. a | A joint resolution providing for subniitt 01 ing the question to the electors of amend ing the constitution of the State to pro " I vide for suffrage for women was introduc - ed iu the senate Saturday by Senator Hall. e I The proposed amendment allows women ? to vote, but says that they shall not hold 1 office. The joint resolution, which the senator from Cherokee county introduced by request was the last measure to be brought before the general assembly duriug Its regular session. VOTES FOR WOMEN'. This is probably the first time that a women's suffrage measure has been in troduced in the South Carolina general as sembly. Before the constitutional conven tion 17 years ago the champions of the woman s suffrage cause started a cam paign which amounted to nothing in the way of getting the right of balloting for the women of the State. If the recess ses sion of the senate last long enough, it is possible that the joint resolution may corse up for debate and adoption or re the senate calender is rather id unless it la taken up out of tbereif little probability S D) 5, S.

Ofte the speeches on questions of person* privilege have been mere cloaks unde which politial opinions were aired. On speech of this nature has called fort another. And, as a result, the entir session of the present legislature has bee swept by a political undercurrent, th like of which nas not happened for th past 20 years. . One of the big questions which still r mains undecided in the senate is whethe the code of 1910 shall be adopted in it present form, or -whether it be wise t take a long recess with a view to gettinj the code in better shape for adontior The .house passed a concurrent resolutio: last TMday morning providing for a reces until May 28, one object of which was t allow, indexed and printed by a law boo! publishing house. The matter Is now ii the hands of the house judiciary commit tee. The Old School and the New. Gaffney Ledger. Wo have seen schools that were as quie dp a room full of borrows. We have seei th? pupils sitting in strainfld positions with head erect, hands by side, or armi folded, turning neithod to the right noi the left, or if moving, moving slowly almost wearily with down cast eye, on tip toe, with hands claspod behind the back whispering not, smiling not, with the ligh of the eye dull, and all the joyousness o childhood driven from the faces of pupili by the iierceness of the methods of th< petty tyrant in charge. 'We have wondered whether the so-callec school was not a prison, or a reformatorj institution of some kind, and we can re member how glad we were to get out agaii into the free air and the bright sunshini of the outer world we could again see i child smile and hear the merry laugh, am earnest happy voices of those who wen free, We have heard such schools praised a: models of excellence, as schools of faultlesi discipline, whose teachers, so earnest, s< skilled, were worthy of memorials in bras: or marble. We never heard what become of thes teachers.l. They are not mentioned witl Arnold, or Froebel, or Pestalozzi. We am Inclined to think that the progressCnj waves of modern educational thought bavt overthrown or overlapped them, and hai left to us no trace of their doings or as. istence. It was not discipline, it was crualb] torture, of a weak child by a strong grown man or woman. It developed neithei i strength of character, nor nobility or pur pose. It drove out all joyousness, all love and made the child worse by far than if ii mm inuneu wiui uie kululuo ui tuo nu lu;i Who can say that lives have not boei wrecked by some pet cruelty of som< petted teacher. Who can that the mo roseness the sullenness, the petty spite 01 mean uctions of some manhood may nol havn l.oun thix rnunlt. nf ants of onDression coramited thoughtlessly by the teacher ol his boyhood. Too much discipline, too much rule anc regulation, too much of the martipet ii the formalities of the schoolroom is fai worse than the absence of all restartniiu rules. For, if achlid is guided properly carefully, thoughtfully, it will develope foi good, but If it is continually and forcibly held back, if It is deprived of all freedou of speech or action, it will place itself ii antagonism to the teacher, to the auttiorit; of the school, to society. The antagonist) wins in the contest, but it is at the expen& of society. The bad boy, so made by thi faulty discipline, becomes a bad man Who is responsible. We have, in our later days, come to se some points on child manners and mov ments, which we wish we had seen whe we were young. We might be happiei We know we shouid be proder. Many of the so-called disobediences < children are not willful. Many of the: bad deeds are the result of uncontrollabl Impulses. Very few of their bad acts ai the results of deliberate thought.
