Evans and Latimer remains stronger than ever. The strength of tbeir side bas been as twotblrda to one-third, and with oue-third divided by four against two-thirds divieed by two. it doee not look as if Messrs. Hemphill, Hendersou, Elliott or Johnetone will count for a great deal after the first primary. If the second race should be between Evane and Latimer, it is rather dlfflooltto predict which will win out. From the way Latimer haa bteu fought by all the candidates, it is evident that they regard him a? j>.?s.*e*.*ed of considerable strength, and if he gets Id tbe second primary that fact j will, of itself, prove that they were not ( mistaken. Still Evans ha# tbe ad van- i tage of qolta a general organization, , u and will pat up a strong fight for final tp aueoena. Should Meiers.

Evans and Latimer tuts been lying in that factionalism to which they will be able to look no longer. But we will see what we will see.

Vr?m of .t?f llnplojrrd In fbr | Jtill* Tbrtr TrmlMrat hy Ihr Mill ' AntMsrlllc*. (Columbia Record i The Record has received an ad vane-! ?d sheet of an article which in to aj?pear in The Tradesman, Chattauooga, the subject being the child lal>or ?| tion as it is in thegoiith. This journal undertakes to tell tlx* truth aiMMit con- [ ilitious, and it doeM mi in a specific and ; not a general way. In ho far as South Carolina is concerned it will lie ii?? doubt a great surprise to people to learu how few children under 1- years of age are employed in the mills. The Tradesman's facts were obtained this sumuier, when one of the children of mill operatives ire at school, hence their number in the mill is greater at this heat-on than &t any other. The following are some of the facta: I ye wis \V. I'nrker, president of the Victor Manufacturing company, says that there are 380 operatives in the mill, of whom there are 'Si children under 12 years of age. Mr. Parker regrets that the number in unusually Ur<rf? at this time, which is due to the fact thut the school clo?ed July 1. Tliit* will oj>e rates a Hchool nine months in the year, paying three teachers and the expenses of the school generally out its own funds. John A. Law, president of the Saxon mills, Spartanburg, says he has 275 people on this pay roll.'of these, 9 are children under 12 years old, and they will he put out as soon as school begins, he says. There is a fre? school in the village runniug eight mouths in the year. Arthur T. Smith, of the Laugley Manufacturing company, says th?t mill hss 1W0 employees .it work, of whom 14 are uuder 12 years old. This corporation runs a free school four months of (he year and the county Ave months, making nine in all. Mr. Smith states (hat every one of these children will go to school ou the reopening. James L. Orr. president of (lie Piedmont Manufacturing company, says that there are 1.423 names ou his pay roll, ot which 66 are between the ages nf in and 12 vears. All of these are sweeper* and jacket* and are children nf small families, who are depeudent upon them for a living. There is not one under 10 aud only thirteen under 12. There is a regular graded nchool, with a principal aud seven teachers, ' and running teu months iu the year, and all of it is paid for by the company. Ellison A. Smith, of ibe i'elzer and Belton mills, says in the Pelzer mill there are 2,543 operatives, of whom 20 ire under 12 yean old, and in the Helton mill there are 541 operatives, of whom 13 are less than 12 years old. He says: "At both Pelzer aud Belton we have a contract book, which is signed by tbe bead of every family we employ, and in which it is agreed that all chil ireu under 12 yean* of age are to go lo the school* provided by the mill* every day the school* are open, and children over 12 are to be employed in the mill. Our schools run for nine or ten months and will reopen on the 1st of September. 1 And that during this holiday time some of the children under 12 years of age do get into the mill to ?rork, though they are not wanted and their employment forbidden, but often the children went to work and made their wages. Of course, there ?re special exceptions made to our 12year rule in individual cases, owing to the poverty and needs of the widowed mother or the invalid father, or, in the case of orphans, to the condition of want in which the grand-parents are round to be ?" J. I. Weatervelt, of the Brandon mills, Greenville, says there are 207 employees in the mill. Xine are males uuder 12auil three are females under 12. although thev are iust a few month* removed from that 'ace. Thexe are more than usual on account of the ichool beiuff closed, which is ruu teu months. Thomas F. Parker, president of the Monagban mills, Greenville, says there ire 388 operatives in the mill, of whom 23 are under 12 yearn. There isa*chool apen for uin* months. P. C. Poag, Huperintendent of the ?~]dville manufacturing company, ?ys there are 09 operatives in thiH mill, of whom 8 are under 12 years. R. T. Fewell, president of the Ar;ade mills, Hock Hill, reports that there are 189 operatives, of whom 20 ire under 12 yearn. He declare* that there is not a mill mau in the Htate who wants to employ children under 12, but it in sometimes done from kind* uessof heart aud sympathy. This is the record for (South Carolina ?o fur as it got*, ana 11 hdowm a ?urprinting state of attain when one con* jiders the many "inve8tigations"made ?f conditions by Northern writer*. The}' have greatly exaggerated the situation, with an object in view, and bave succeeded in arousing the indignation of many of our people who bave accepted their statement* an the truth. According to the showing made there is no need for auy legislation on the subject iu this State, for the mill nwner* themselves do not want to employ children under lli years of age, mid they do not dosoexcept when they believe they are doing good to the children themselves and their families.

No Need J of Having Dyspepsia. Most physicians, especially In the f northern United States, say that fried | r?Mxi is roiponslble for most of the dys- t in sula. imperially In the south, where rryinjf In most prevalent This I.h no doubt true, in a broad and average way. but It in not necessary ihal it sbould be true. Too much grease if any kind, and in any way. is certainly bad for the digestion; but the ' onclusion must not be too hastily eached that fried food is necessarily creasy. Orcase for cooking should be looked ujw>n merely as as a medium for -omniunicatlng a high degree of heat. It is not usually {Missible to cook things !n water to a higher teni{?ernturc than .'12 degrees, and hence in many eases t i? necessary to cook meats, etc.. a long while at this temperature to get ih?-m done, ltut it is easily possible to <M?k things equally well done In grease n a much shorter time, on account of he higher temperature that may be achtd?sometimes 300 to 400 degrees. Th?- true way to cook in grease is to ;et it very hot ?>efore introducing the :ilent or other article. When it is )rop|K'<| in the liigher degree of heat tnmedlately eh:!?*s the outer surface ind closes the |M>res. so that the Krense anni>t get Inside. It Is important to \eep the hei-.t up. and not to put the trtlclei Ihto the jjreuse so fast as to g wer the temperature. When done, hey should be Immediately removed tnd laid on a cloth to absorb the adi ring grease. Many cooks take a tyitv; pan off the lire with the eggs r it - it in It. all cooked, and leave it C <> until served. This Is th- Ti?-xt best u vav to let the crease soak through to ;he . entre. The \ < ry best way to soak . !h?* Kitas" in. and the very best way ? i promote d.vMpepxia is to put the ariclcs in the frying pan to cook when he grease is not hot enough. t Frying Is generally a most wasteful naniit-r of cooking, for the reason that f t\)nu?h of the urease is thrown away fter the article is cooked. This is Ren- ( . ally unnet essiu y. If the frying has jeeti properly done, the grease hits not , '.-. ken up much front the article cooked. !"he greave may be poured from the a Vying pan into u vessel of hot water, .vh. n most of the foreign mailer will c i*ttie and the pure grease will iloat. (j fter somewhat washing itself in the ^ vatcr. It may then be used again and * igain with the Iwst results. ? There is naturally a smell from any Vying gf-as".

In this country nil are accus'onjed to the smell of frying hog lard. . Wlten !t was Unit proposed to cook 1 villi cotton oil tin* new smell was ol>- ? ' ctioliable, cS|?ecially the snifll of t adly refined oil. and thus there grew t i prejudice against Its use. Another n fiuse for had results with the oil wuh he lact that often times the cook vould not wall for the oil to get hot nough lieforo putting it in the articles. When using lard, tne cook would uatur- F illy wait for it to tnelt. and it would ret hot without provoking impatience. I'.lit the oil looks ready when it Is first e ut in the frying pan. and there is a temptation to use it t<?o soon. There lias heen much steady work done l?y I hose who make conking coin pounds " from cotton oil. witli a vieiv to reducing " i>r disguising the smell. The result has c ' ecu most gratifying. There arc sev- a rj?I concerns making a specialty of ill refined for use in cooking, without further manipulation. The Wesson Process company of Savannah. <Ja.. has * ' lnen very successful in this line and will he glad to mail cook Ixioks. tl There ure also a number of highly r satisfactory cooklnic greases mailt* v from cotton oil and beef fat. such as c "Palmatena" and "Snow Drift." both i of which products an- extensively manufactured hy the Southern Cotton 1 ON Company of the Carolina* and v (b-orgla at their works in Savannah. I; They are both high class and reliable ^ products In which the pure cotton seed (J oil is used and they resemble lard In appearance and results, but are more satisfactory and healthy, and which are 11 superior to hog lard from every point of view. That they are much more C healthful there can be no doubt. J Ureal Bargain* al A. M. Nmlrb * to We call fpecml attention to the itreal mid- ^ cummer Knlo o' Drummer * Samples by A. >1.
