Demagogues with political aHpiratiooe, ami poor people being carried of! by their feet . 1 by their protestations have had much to say ol laws representing the labor of jx>or folks children In cotton mills. While tills class legislation was no doubt born of political or extremely innocent parents, yet it Is true that many unthinking people with the best possible notions have joined In this hue and cry In the eilori 10 deprive poor ioiko 01 ouuc ol the rights anil privileges wliicti are guaranteed to the richer and more Independent ol their neighbors. It Is alleged th't work In a cotton mill In jures the child If done tefore they are fourteen years of age and If they are torbldden until they are fourteen to do normal labor but in the next breath there is a demand that they go to school. If lt| Irjures a poor man's children to work, what etfect does the study of books have upon the undeveloped mind. Men, like this editor, who really know very little about training other people's children are ever ready to advance their theories and to call for laws to govern children in co.ton mills. We believe that mnnual labor and mental culture should not be strangers, and that the child should develope mind and body at the same time. As a child should hot be required to stud; for twelve hours a day, so he should not be required to do manual labor twelve hours a dwy. ^ As a child may profitably study lor part ol the day, we believe he may profitably work a part of the day. But a child should be allowed a time to play, whether dally, weekly or otherwise is not for us to say. To require a child to remain in idleness among several hundred other idle children is conducive to the forming of bad habits. Leaving out of consideration the resulting money benefits of lab ir, nothing Is worse than enforced Idleness. And laws to restrict parents of poor children in the management of their own children is paternalism rnn mad and a grots wrong to the less powerful part of the community. While It may be right to prevent corporations from tbe Incidental abutc of children by long bours of labor, yet It is not proper to ]eglBlate agalnBt the family. The control of a man In tbe government of bis own children In a cotton mill Is quite another thing. If you think class legislation against poor people Is right, then these poor people should have tha right to assemble and through their re^rcsenatlves, to demand that tbe children of the rich should not be allowed to go barefoot or that tbey should Dot have more than ohe bole In their Mocking?. Ah labor la In' jurlous lo Ibe poor, so la automobile or horBe. back riding injurious to the rich. Should poor people not have the right to prescribe the proper exercise for rich cnildren? II rich folk msy regulate ihe work cf poor men's children, should rot poor men have the right to demand such legislation a? wou'd regulsteibe sports of rich mfn'n chll dren? Dancing may be injurious. Why notregulate rich men's children In the dance balls? Why not legislate ; on the subject ol roller skating. In a country Jlke this rlass Ugfsla'ion Is obnoxious and violative of Ihe principles of ourform of government, and mrst be repulslveTto the better sentiment of the peopleWhat would you think If rich men's children's fishing excursions were regulated by a Jawf It Is the mill that should be looked/after and not the pareDtlal control of the children While the mill may be very properly denied the right to have children work, unless regulations, yet there is a more serious matter than child labor that needs attention. The health and the morals or a great aggregation of people needs intelligent c^re. The ventilation of the mill is of Importance. The home association is of the first and the greatest Importance. By what right Id moral or In common Justice can a mill allow a six room house to be occupied by different families i.o the number of seventeen, which ( Dumber may include men, women, and children of both sexes, of all ages. If Idleness Is the devil's workshop, what should we say of tbe enforced ldlenefs oI several hundred children In a mill village, varying In age all tbe way down from fourteen. Death of Mrs- Eleanor Dean White Mrs. iEleanor Dean White, aged 64 years, died suddenly at her home on church street on last Sunday morning about half past six o'elock. Mrs, White had been In poor health since January, but no one suspected tbe eDd was so near. On account of weakness she had to be helped each morning Into her Invalid cbalr and members of the family were In the act of placing her In her chair when she expired. Mrs. W bite was the oldest member of her Immediate family. Two sisters and three brothers survive her, they are: Mrs. Emma Kicbardson, of Jamestown, X. C.. Mrs. Sarab Maisball of GeimantOD, X. C. Mr, Loton Dean, :or uaKriage, is. u. iMr. Mattlson Dean of Walkertown, N. C. and Mi. Albert Dean of Walkortown, N. C. The funeral services were held at the home, pastor ;of the family, llev. Henry Stokes, leading, and the remains werellald to rest beside those of her husband in Long Cane Cemetery. ? ? - No Cause For III Feeling. We be brethren, and should be friends. If those of us who know that we are right as I to which Is worse, the blind tiger or the dispensary, would be reasonable and sensible there Is little reason or excusc for showing ill Reeling. There certainly Is no good to come frtm being disagreeable to those who may differ from usLet the election be as It may, It will toon be over, but we are to live and be with each other for manv a dav to come. In comuarl i hod wltbtbe love and respect of our neighbors the liquor question ^dwindles Into Insignificance. It Is, therefore, very unprofitable for those who know that they are better than others to talk to men who have made up their minds. If a man is any man at all, he will resent presumption on the part of those who would dictate. The exhibition of temper is seldom eflective in convincing others. Whatever the result of the coming election Abbeville will likely continue to occupy a place on the map, and the people will struggle in the future, as in the past, for the mastery. " The Tariff. The Press and Banner has not attempted to enlighten the country on the subject of tariff. There are some things which we do not know. We will therefore, wait results in Washington. The registration books will be open on sale day In July. If you are not already registered, suppose you attend to the matter. You might want to vote on the 17th of August. "Give Both of Them Haii Columbia." The Uart'ney Ledger on the dispensary question is mighty nearly right- The-Ledger says: "The editor of the Abbeville Press and Hauner asks: "Which Is worse? The dispensary or blind tigers?" To our mind, one ts about as bad as the other. What every good citizen?such as the editor of tbe Press mid Bunuer? should do, is to tight both wltii all bis might. There is no excuse for a man who claims to be a temperance man, support lug either the dispensary or tbe blind tiger Cilve both of them hail Columbia." What this country needs is temperance teaching. If the press and the pulpit would talk more of the dangers of tampering with intoxicants we would waste less money for liquor and we would have less drunKenness. The sensible aDd level head Ledger almost excites us to deliver a speech on the evils resulting from the lack of care in parents to teach their children temperance habits If all men were like the editors of the Press and Banner and theCJatrney Ledger couuty dispensers would lose their jobs. Without bringing charges against any body and without kuowiDg whereof we speak, we think some mothers are responsible for the druukenness of their sons. We have seen it Kiult-d by a physician of some degree of dl?. Unction that no woman who expects to be a mother should drink intoxicants, or words to that eltect. The world knows that a nursing mother Is careful of her food. If she must be careful of her food, is it not equally certain that she ought to be careful of her drink, especially when tempted to drink stump water, or beer. And then some mothers give] their coilicky babies a little whiskey to soothe them so as to bring on sleep, without ever thinking that they are implanting the fatal thirst. Can the child who takes In the thirst for whiskey in its mother's milk, or who is fed from a spoon with diluted whiskey, expect to escape drunkenness? What can a mother expect of a child that is fed upon whiskey and beer and other slops from its earliest existence? If the Infant has not sufficient natural nourishment, let the old gentleman of tlfe house buy in a cow or two. That Is the way. Bottled or catned goods, it is said, puts untold numbers of children In their graves, and those that are f(d intoxicants with their first breath can surely depend upon having the thirst for liquor well grounded into them. Let our newspapers and our preachers teach temperance, a&d we will have neither dispensaries nor blind tigers. Our testimony would be that the Illicit traffic in liquor Is thfe worst form of dialing In it, at least, as far as Abbeville is concerned. One iniquity of the proposed substitution of the blind tiger for the dispensary Is, that, as far as we Informed, no adequate provision wa s made for the enforcement of prohibition. As a rule, prohibitionists throw up the unnnpfi as soon as they vote, or as soon as they succeed in getting a prohibitory law. When laws are made for a special purpose* tbe Legislature usually elects an cfflcer for tbat purpose, and tben makes an appropriation to pay him. Isn't it eo In tbe Hallioad Coamlseior; insurance protection; child labor in cotton mills; the protection of birds, etc, etc,. But, we are unacquainted with any provision as to enforcing prohibition. It seems to us that the main dependence for enforcing tbat law is upon the treachery of a white man who might Induce a negro to sell blm a half pint. Of course tbe man who Induces arother to sell a pint of liquor is as morally guilty as the man who receives the money, and when be reports bis victim, how Is it possible for a reasonable and honorable public not to see which of the two suffers most in tbe compromise of characlei? An officer might lay a trap to catch violators of the law, but any idea that a decent prohibitionist would do auy HUULl IUIUK, IB UUL IU VJO >UUI^U| v> .VI v> moment. We do not believe that there is in tbe State a prohibitionist who would so compromise himself. If such a thing may be lawful, but never to be approved. A gentleman should neither mislead nor betray. II there was a fight against liquor tbe Gafluey Ledger would be sure to find us In tbe fore front of the ranks, but when it is proposed to substitute the beet form of liquor dealing for tbe worst and most degrsdicg system we must protest. We accord siDcerety of purpose to those who seem so anxious to restore tbe worst form of dealing with liquor. They are honest, but they are ml6t8ken. We think prohibitionists, as a rule, are as uood as anybody else. But we do not see how practical, sensslble and conscientious men can set themselves to either the flooding of this county with liquor or to tbe taxing c f llils town annually In a large sum to enforce tbe law, which largo sum should have bren legally taxed up against tbe county. Last year this town spent about S4,100 for police, including tbe street overseer who divider his time in en forcing law and order. Why did prohibitionists in the Legislature dodge the levying of a tax to enforce tbelr favorite law? ? How can they expect tbe town of Abbovllle to shoulder tbe duty wblcb tbe prohibitionists of the Legislature should have saddled on tbe people of the whole-countj? Is there an Intelligent and fair mlLded man in Abbeville county wbo would place that burden upon the town of Abbeville while evading or esf?nini> hi* own dut\? And then can reason able and sensible people ol tbe county expect the town of Abbeville to volunteer to pay a lax that Is not morally or legally their own obligation? Abbeville Is now heavily taxed for schools and fechool bouses. II the people should vote to cut off our income, does any. body think that Abbeville will pay tbe tax which tbe Legislature may have thought we would pay for othen? What would you do in or under tbe circumstances, as the case might bi? You might pay our taxes, but the act would be unprecedented. And Abbeville city may incur a debt of $1,000 a year to enforce tbe law for other people We shall see. While this town will likely have sufficient policemen to lock up and tine all such as get drunk, Abbeville may not spend any more than we ca^i collect by fines This newspaper has always contended for what It conceived to be the right. We are for temperance now and forever, bat we cannot Join forces with anybody to bring about confusion and disorder, however good and honest they may be. We may be depended upon to resent and to oppose tbe effort of all men, no matter whether they are double barreled or clerical politicians or simply designing enemies who would shirk their share of taxes which may be necessary to enforce their favorite law. Almost auyboiy can aBsumeBuperlor virtue and make anxiety for ithe public welfare. If he can have the expense charp. ed to the people whom he, with or without reason, hates and would secretly injure. We are not yet ready to believe that a majority of honorable men In this county would do such a thing, even if Abbeville wub foolish enough to submit to paying tbe expense? lu case of onr failure to levy upon ourselves the taxes which should be paid by the county how can any man outside of the lanatlc asylum expect to have sobcletj? We know that there are good men In this county. We know that there are honest men in this county. Will they vote upon us the tax which they dudge and which Is justly their own? With a single exception, as far rr we have seen, every prohibitionist outside of Abbeville county in speaking of Abbeville's liquor business, has been respectful. Why pro. hlbltlonlBts in this country cannot rise to the same degree of clvllty that characterizes the UafTney Ledger and the Anderson Mall, is more than we can understand. We have all our life believed and contended that the people of Abbeville county have been noted for their cowrtesy and lair dealing, but some protilbitionl8ts.lt seems would shatter our belief in the traditions of the past. *4^* The stories of commencement exercises appear to occupy much space In the dally papers. .
