IF Roosevelt comes South again, he ought to be satisfied to ride in the "Jim j Grow*' cars. He is with his j element then.-Ex. HON. G, W. Croft and P. H. Nelson, Esq., have formally notified the so licitor that they will apply for bail for James H. Tillman on tomorrow, the 12th inst., be fore Chief Justice Pope, at j Newberry. IT seems that the Northern colony in Aiken is not as large this winter as during former seasons and it has been suggested that a mass-meet ing be held to devise ways and means of increas ing the number. We would suggest that a mass-meeting be held to condemn the law lessness and Sabbath desecra tion of those that are already there. HE senate and House are playing tit for tat at the people's expense. The senate will pass a bill and send it over to the House, which body, instead of ratify ig or cofirming, will straight way kill it; next day the House will adopt a measure and send it to the senate where it also receives a knock out blow. Perhaps it is well, for fewer laws will be passed the fewer the better. ? FTER several years' - *,".ii?iauu?'uii? alni' pi??faCU'uiC Senate and House and after the governor affixes his sig nature it will become a law. Its main provisions are that after May ist, 5903, no child under io years of age shall bejJ employed in any factory^-after rj^?^nochifd und?r TS7 yeajr-S' of age, and aft ir May" i st, 1905, no child under 12 years of age. Provision is made for children of wid owed mothers or disabled fa thers and those children en tirely dependent upon their own work for support. THE latest bid from the Republicans for the colored vote, where such a vote is cast, was the bill intro duced by Hanna in the nati onal congress providing for a pension for all ex-slaves over 50 years of age. This is about as much a delusion as was the promise of "40 acres and a mule." It will never become a law because its passage would mean that several hun dred millions of dollars would be paid out in the south, to which the Republicans would never consent. Being a poli tical play ii was introduced to deceive the colored race and will doubtless serve its pur pose. FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILD. BY MRS. J. M. HUNTER. HE was a bright, hand some little fellow of lix or seven years, at least that was my impression as he came bounding into the cozy sitting room, where his mother and I sat engaged in earnest conversation. Catching sight of me, he paused for a mo ment, and then rushed up to his mother with, "Say, mam ma, I'm going over to see Jim Morris; he called me across the street, and Pm goin? over." I noticed that he did sk permission to go, but tention to an his g b P< in ol et H tr se dr ki Wi pil Fi sei kit to< ou Th ap: mc eai ma spc ?p, "sj are littl fim intt girl pur if exe call the Goc can ity ? say, the) ther wer have a jolly show, and he wants me to come, and going" and with that he was off, before the little woman could offer further remon strance. A troubled look came into her face as she said, "I'm sure I don't know what is to be done with Freddie ! Such as sociations will ruin him, but he pays no attention to my wishes." Ah, I reflected, another instance where family gov ernment is only "a govern ment of persuasion," and when that fails, as it usually does, nothing more is done. My heart yearned over the bo> as 1 thought what he might be made if properly re strained, and what he would surely become if allowed to go on in his own way. How many otherwise good moth ers, like this one, have not firmness to exercise the need ed discipline with their chil dren ! Often the very tone in which they speak to the child, says pkirly ; "I know you are not going to obey, but I'll just tell you what you ought to do, and then if you won't mind, I can't help it." Punishment, they say, ''is too cruel to be thought of." O, dear parents, is it not much more cruel to allow your children to go on in the evil ways that will at last lead to eternal punishment! Is it not your duty to enforce your right ful authority, and see that your instructions are carried out ? Why did God deal as he did with Eli ? Because his sons did evil and he "res strained them not." No doubt he instructed, advised and persuaded, but this was enough. He should have re strained. "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him." Inherent sin is too strong to be overcome simply by mild words of advice and persua sion . A case in point is that of a mother who gently requested her young son to bring in some wood. He flatly re fused; and then she only said : "Now, Artie, be a pretty boy, and do as mamma tells you." But Artie was not ambitious to "be a pretty boy" and so the crrn.ii-Lu criTru uT^ii?nn\KtttT~iifc'r self brought it in. That boy has grown to manhood; but he is a great Borrow to his parents^, disre spectfyj^^rrntght be expec tedjfto his mother, and travel ing the road to a drunkard's *rare. I think now of an unusually nteresting child who could be :asily restrained and made rery sweet and lovable, but lis doting parents affirm that hey are "going to control him lylove," and so about the nly reproof they ever give is 3 say very lamely, "Son, I couldn't do that." So "son" oes on having his own waj ecoming more and more srverse and wilful, and mak g himsdf disagreeable to :hers, and often painfully nbarassing h i s parents, ow disagreeable an uncon olled child soon becomes ! The following incident ems in place: Two chil en were playing with some ttens and a dog. The game as to bury the kittens in a le of loose sand, and watch do scratch them out* This emed great fun; but one :ten was allowed to remain D long, and when brought t, it was limp and lifeless ie little girl put it into her ron, and ran away to her >ther, saying, with much .nescness, "Just see here, ?fnma) a perfectly good cat iled" Are there not many erfectly good" children coiled" just because they too long let alone, when a le needed correction and nness would develop them ) very lovable and helpful s and boys ? But little lishment would be required sufficient firmness were rcised. rhat shall we answer when ed to give an account for precious jewels which I has committed to our i to be polished for etern 1 Will it be enough to "Lord, I told them what . ought to do; I instructed n in thy truth, but they e unwilling to heed, and was too tender'to chas what a sol t? have T ( J.J A. : J.
