There has been much talk about tbe hardship of child-labor as if there were not tw( aides to this subject. VY t? ail MUUiil IUHI IV is UttU IU UC UV1U pw. It Is bo Inconvenient, Bat as long as children choose to be born of poor but bones' parents, tbey must work or do worse. Wbei children arrive at the age when tbey are abl< to go to school tbey are generally able to g< work. In saying tbls we would not put upon a child either the labor or the lessons of b grown person. Study and labor should go hand In hand. A little labor and a little study. The labot and the stndy to be regulated according ti the physical strength and the study according to the menial streogtb. By this proces? both the mind and the body la developed Habits of physical Industry and the cultun of the mind should go together. Idleness Is the devil's workshop, and wbei a great company of boy'sand g:rls are throwi together In Idleness, the idleness Is pro* motive of Immorality.

Yours very truly, B. L. Caughman, Chairman. COPY. Columbia, S. C., October 25,1907. Mr. B. L. Caugbman, Chairman, Boutb Carolina Railroad Commissioners, Columbia, 8. C. Dear Sir: Answering your favor ol tbe 2itb, with reference'to complaint from tbe Mayor of Abbevl lie In it gard to delay to trains at Hodges. You nodouot will understand tbal the number of trains operated on tbe Abbeville Branch at present are at a loss to tbe South* ern Railway. Up to a short while ago the Abbeville Branch and tbe people of Abbeville only enjoyed four trains per day; two each way. Tbeyare now enjoying six and Inatmuch as these trains have to do tbe Irelghi work on that line at well as tbe passenger, It Is a matter of Impossibility to turn each train around Immediately upon Its arrival and send It back to Abbeville as It Is necessary to have some time to pick up frblght oars for Abbeville, however I am endeavoring to < ui out tbe delay to one train, and bave been doing all In my power to oomply with the wishes of tbe people of Aboetille, appreciate lag their kind feeling toward tbe Uuutbern Railway Company, and yet btlieve that It will be done In a nhort time. Id regard to tbe turn table wl 1 say that wben this turn table was first broken down, we Immediately sent to tbe sbop, got tbe oeoesaary miuer)?l a? quickly-as po??ible *nd made wbat we thought tbe necessary repairs, wblcb lasted for some time bai again gave way. I now bave a transfer order for a flityflve foot tarn table to be shipped from Too coa, (J?., for Abbeville which will be Installed immediately on Us arrival. I am sore if the people of Abbeville will only give me Umi they .will bave no room to kick or complaint to the Rtllroad Com mlbsloaert,as you well know I bave been doing &d<1 am now trying to arrange timetable to salt all oonoerned, and tbe turn table airangements have all been made. 1 trust you will be aole to explain this matter to the Abbeville people, and trusting this latter will be satisfactory to you, I am, Yours truly, R. E. Simpson, . Superintendent. In order that oar citizens may better nn? derstand the situation In reference to tbe desired change of schedule, we present letters from the railroad Commission and Superlnlead en (.Simpson. From the reading of .Mr. Simpson's letter, we infer that he will Interpose objection to Kraatlog of the requested favor, but we presame that nothing Is. to be lost by our cltlteos oontaddlog for the granting of their reasonable request Mr. Slmpsoa's relerenoe to tbe four trains a day is not pertinent to the subject. From our past txperience in business wltb railroad men, we are Inclined to tblnk that they are a little too sensitive, and that they fall to give the public tbe necessary information as to bow and wben we should approach them. To tbe uninitiated tbe natural Impulse Is to apply to headquarter* fok favors. But tbe fact Is, wben tbe citizen desires a favor be most go to the lower or inferior official, with bis request, and have It forwarded through the regular ohannels. Herein may lie tbe grounds for refusal to grant the accommodation. Of coarse our daodIo do not understand why bo reasonable a request should n<>t be granted. We cannot believe that this town Is dlsoommoded to accommodate a single customer. Off to Ike Fair. 63 tickets to the Fair In Columbia were sold at Abbeville np to yesterday afternoon.
