are still sick. This was a hard lesson, but there was a rush for vaccine treatment that bids fair to secure immunity from smallpox as far as that can be secured, and this is more than any statute could have accomplished. These infected people live out of the city limits, and while thus beyond the reach of any ordinance of the council, they formed a source of anxiety. Some sages have said that "nothing short of a shotgun" could keep a Negro from a wake or a burial. The report of smallpox will compete with firearms hereafter as a deterrent in this neighborhood. Altogether the incident, while causing much fright and suffering to a few, has resulted in measures that are bound to redound to the safety of the public. ASHE-AY COCK.

The general assembly of South Caro- ] lina convened in annual session last j Tuesday and has been busy since get- ( ting down to regular work. This being the first session of the new legislature, a complete re-organization was necessary. A few bills, including a child labor bill, referred to elsewhere, have been introduced. Governor Mc- . Sweeney sent a message to both houses on Wednesday, recalling the death of Wade Hampton on the Uth or Aprn, i 1902. and recommending that a day be 1 set apart for the observance of memo- < rial services. 1 The FIrMt Child Labor Bill. < Columbia Record, Wednesday: Sen ator Marshall today introduced a child labor bill, the main provisions of which ' are: That after May 1. 1903, no child under 10 years old shall be employed in ? any factory: after May 1, 1903, no child ^ under the age of 11 shall be employed, ] and after May 1, 1905, no child under 12 years shall be employed. After May 3 1, 1903, no child under 12 shall be permitted to work between the hours of ] 8 p. m. and 6 a. m.; provided, a child ? may work after 8 p. m. to make up for loss of time owing to accidents to ma- ' chlnery and other causes. Children of ' widowed mothers and children of totally disabled fathers, the children be- ing dependent upon their own labor for j a living, may be permitted to work, an affidavit to be made by such mother or father to the facts. On an affidavit being made that any child has attended school during four months of the ' current year and can read and write, J it may be employed in mills during June, July and August. It is said that < this bill meets the approval of a large : number of mill men. Col. Marshall has given the subject much thought and ' careful consideration, and he believes that the provisions of the bill will prove : advantageous to all interests concerned. Knitting: Mill In Trouble. Blacksburg special of Monday to Greenville News: But little surprise was occasioned here Saturday when of- J ficials of the Blacksburg Knitting and , Spinning mill were served with papers asking for the appointment of a receiver. ThdLmill was projected by a Swede by the name of Miers in the spring of 1901. The stockholders were from Blacksburg and vicinity. The mill though was not completed before there was financial trouble. The cap ital stock was then increased and some northern parties became interested. The mill was completed, but never completely fitted up. Superintendents were in charge time and again. J. F. Whisonant continued president, while the board of directors continued to change. Several times the mill was closed. Matters grew worse and worse, and last week the company was sued by some concern for yarn furnished to the amount of $500 or $600. It is understood now that there had been a great difference of opinion among the stockholders, and it is said that the president, J. F. Whisonant is the one who asks for the appointment of a receiver because of mismanagement and inability to meet outstanding obligations. Mecklenburg's Good Roads.?Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, in which Charlotte is the principal city, has long been held up as a model by advocates of road improvement. That county has for many years been laying excellent macadam roads that the makers believe will last for generations. A recent statement of Superintendent of Roads H. T. Stowe shows that 118 miles of these macadam roads have been constructed and are now in use. The saving to the farmer in transportation has been great, as he can send his produce to market in any kind of weather, his teams draw several times the loads they could over the old dirt roads, and there are so few breakdowns that the cost of repairs has been greatly reduced. Farm property along these roads has largely increased in value, and the farming sections are more prosperous. The roads are made by convict labor, the county using the latest improved road making-machinery?crushers and rollers. Rock found near the road is utilized and trained men superintend the work. Bonds were issued to pay for this work, and the cost has been considerable; but that it is regarded as a paying investment is shown by the fact that preparations are being made to macadamize more than 100 miles more, so that all the principal roads in the county may be joined in a complete system.?Baltimore Sun.

HEATH & CO, General Merchandise. BetweenfsAji cnn K/VUUVAl Pick-Ups. WE carry more stock than any other Yorkvllle store?more than any other two Yorkvllle stores. Come, ( look and see for yourselves. 1 We do not carry this large stock for , the name of the thing; but In order , that we may be able to supply the numerous wants of a multiplicity of , customers. From our point of view i a modern store Is not complete unless ] It is able to supply a customer with ] everything he or she may want, and we are running a modern store. , In the effort to have EVERYTHING , FOR EVERYBODY, it is necessarily , the case that we sometimes become overstocked. We count on this. Of j course, we would rather be able to buy jusi exactly enougn gooas i?j suppiy the demands of the season with nothing left over; but that is impossible. ! It is beyond the range of human foresight. Realizing that we cannot have goods in exactly the right quantity. < the principal thing we try to guard against is not having enough. Rather than disappoint our customers, we 1 make it a rule to have just a little more of any given kind of goods than . we will probably sell during the sea- ' son. As has been the case heretofore, we find ourselves again this year with an oversupply of goods in various lines. It is not much of an oversupply; but still rather more goods than we need. And we do not want to carry them over until next season. Last year's . goods are not generally in much demand. They have to be sold at a dis- j count usually, whether they are disposed of now or held until next season, j and this proposition brings us to the point. 1 Gentlemen's ; Clothing. j ] : .1 . . ( Up to the present time we have sold great piles of READY-MADE CLOTHING. There have been few people in our store during the whole season who have been disappointed in not being able to And something to suit them. Customers who understand what it means to carry such a stock as we carry, have told us frankly that they have never seen the like before. It has been frequently the case that we ] have not only been able to fit in the style and quality of goods desired; but we have been able to offer so many fits in different weaves and qualities as to make it difficult for the customer to decide which he would prefer. To a very large extent we are still in that shape indicated by the foregoing, with one very Important difference. Prices are very much lower now than they have heretofore been this season. We desire to carry over as few goods as possible, and until the spring season opens this is the idea upon which we " are running our business. We are not counting profits now, and people who need new winter clothes can easily assure themselves of this fact by mak- ] ing an investigation. r Shoes. We have spoken time and again of the big stock of SHOES we carry. It is not quite so' large now, maybe, as it was earlier in the season; but still it counts up many thousands of dollars, and we want to reduce this stock still further. In order to secure this reduction we have MADE MATERIAL CUTS IN PRICES. This is especially , the case with numerous odds and ends, some of which are going far below the market cost. ] Dress Goods. ! As to staple DRESS GOODS, all we have to say just now is that we have them and we are giving about as near 100 cents in value for the dollar as any reasonable customer could demand. We always do this. But heavy WOOLpn PATTERNS have been MARKED DOWN LOW?so low as to astonish buyers who got prices a month or two ago. And In this same line, we would call attention to numerous odds and ends left over from a season's heavy sales. These are now being offered at such prices as will ensure their being moved out of the way. Flour That i Is Flour.
