In a dition to this 15 local bills were givi second reading. In this way the calendar is beb sifted and all necessary measures a being pushed through. The fight f the rest of the session is now cente mg on the matters of policy. The compulsory education matt was brought up On Mr. Ke shaw's bill which came over from la session but there was no time to get to a vote. The judiciary committee li: got another bump, being the thii time' this session that the house li; given favorable action to a bill wki< was opposed by the committee, was Mr. Hall 's bill to permit consta les to arrest without -arrant persoi said to have been gambling. Tl house first voted down a hostile m tion and then after further debate r versed itself and refused to pass tl bill. * Biennial Sessions. The biennial sessions propositic has been made the special order f( Thursday. There are seven bills ni der this head, one introuduced by M Beamguard last year, one by Senate Ralsor and several by the joint con mittee appointed to investigate tl constitutionality of the election t 1904 on.this subject. Since last year a great deal of o] position has arisen and this propos tion is being fought because it is ver evidently the wish of corporations t have the legislature to meet bienniall Senator Tillman said recently thi biennial sessions would bring more ai noyance and expense on the Stat than they would save for they woul probably be supplimented by speeii sessions-as was the case in Georgh Third Reading Bills. The following senate bille wei given third reading and were sent t the engrossing department to be er rolled as acts : Seuator Hough's to charter the Cen tral Railway Company of South Care lina. * Senator Stackhouse's to provide fo a two mill levy for road tax in Mario; county. Senator Brown's to pay Treasure W. H. Lawrence $50. Senator Peurifoy's to repeal the ex emption of certain portion of Coll?toi county from the stock law. > Compulsory Education. At 12 o'clock yesterday the hous< waded into the compulsory educatioi fight. It was on Mr. Kershaw's bil to promote attendance of children ii schools. The committee had made ai unfavorable report on the bill. Mr. Kershaw made a very fine argu ment for the bilk He first showet that it is-competent for the State U reach out and educate the children He also showed that the decadence oj nations Jias been due to the preponder ance of illiteracy amone: the people He then argued the necessity for i compulsory education law. There ar( 20,000 men of voting age in Soutl Carolina who can neither read noi write. This State stands seventh front the bottom in the matter of illiteracy He told of 16 white children of school age on one farm in Florence county whose parents will not make them gc to' school and they will not go them selves. He also spoke of the shame of seeing a white boy affix a cross mark to his signature to an affidavit when a colored boy of the same ace signed his name in a nice flowing hand. The negro is not waiting ott be forced to go to school. Mr. Kershaw then spoke of the rights of the children. The peo ple have a false idea of liberty if they argue that the State lias no right to interfere in behalf of the rights of thc children. It is wrong in the name of liberty to shackle with ignorance the minds of the children. . Tis bugaboo about the negro going to school is foolish. He is already go ing to school. Mr. Kershaw stated that of those who favor compulsory education to not approve oftliis bill, he would be pleased to have them amend it. He explained the terms of the bill in de tail. This is no experiment. It has been tried in all the nations of ad vanced civilization and has been prov en successful. Capt. J. W. Hamel of Lancaster made an earnest plea for. South Caro lina to bring her citizenship up to a higher plane. Established govern ment in for the protection of the peo ple. ? Under that principle of govern ment there is in the constitution a fix ed tax for schools. Is it fair to main tain penal institutions for the punish ment of snmc and not provide protec tion against ignorance which leads to that crime. There is a prodical waste of intel lect needing development. He would not condemn his child to ignorance merely to keep the negro ignorant. For the educated white man can fear noth ing from the educated negro and the clashes come between the ignorant merabrs. In reply to Mr. Richards, Capt. Hamel stated that we have been all the time pursuing an impelling pol :3>" and it is now time to try a com pelling policy. It is a mistaken idea to build many schools. It would be heller to have few schools, make them sufficient and provide means or trans portation. _- --s^i^ Mr. McCuil of Marlboro, whof^vofs" the compulsory education bill, moved to. adjourn debate until Friday as there are several other-bills on the same subject. This w^s- carried as it would be impossible : lo arrive at a vote anyway. The house took up local and uncontested second i'eading bills and passed .15 of them. ' School Holiday Bill. Thc senate passed the school holi day bill to third reading by a close vote, Discussion was begun on a bill to tax standing tjmb?r -BB personal .property. The debate on the bill to have a general holiday at the State colleges was resumed and Senator Wells made the point that he had never cared for the penitentiary System of governing girls at school. Senator Bates op posed the bill on the ground that it would hurt "discipline; Senator Hud son made a speech of Born? spirit on the bill. He was fol* it/ During his remarks he said that some institutions would flourish in spite bf the trustees also said that he did not believe the trustees would resign and if they did, ot hreocs,heslshrdl shrdlu hrrfwddww others could be elected in their places. Senator Brice was opposed to the bill. He said that some of the girls were too poor to go home . at Christmas. He wanted the question left to the faculty. Senator C. L. Bleaae criti cised a man who favored having holi days at Clemson ~and then .used his vote to cut out th? Chriattnas holi days at Winthrop, especially when he was occupying his position contrary to thc constitution. Senator Blake thought the bill would be demoraliz ing and Senator McLeod Was in f? vor of it. He made a very pretty speech in which he spoke of home in fluences. He wanted the petitions on the subject recognized. Senator Mauldin sympathized with the Win throp girls but could not vote for the bill. Clemson had too many holidays? he said, but they could not be legis lated away. Busy Day in House. The house spent a busy day clear ing, the decks for action next week. Five bills were killed, three were re jected, three were tabled' and nine passed second reading. That was about one-fifth of the entire number on the calendar. It is veryA prob able that about 30 or 40 local bills will be railroaded through. # "The heavy firing will, start next week. Col. Morgan has had debate adjourned on his local option, bill un til Monday night.. It is a foregone conclusion that the house will pass the bill, with some changes, perhaps, and the anti-dispensary forces will not' wait for the dispensary commit tee to present its bill to make the dis pensary pure and dainty. There are 18 'more working days of the session after today. Third Reading Bills. The following third reading bills were passed and sent to the senate: Mr. Yedell's to prevent railroad com panies f rom/ch;irging passengers ex tra compensation, for crossing bridges; Mr. Ottis' bill to authorize elections in any county or township on the question of issuing bonds for road improvement; Mr. Brantley's to place license or medicine venders at $500. - - ^ Petitions were pr?sented as fol lows : .

This total is realized from the sale of fresh meats (beef, mutton and pork), provisions, produce (poultry, butter and eggs), soaps, glues, oils, bones, fertilizers, feathers, casings, hides, wools, pelts and other by-prod ucts derived from cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry. Margin of Profit. Thc industry is operated on a mar gin of less than 2 cents to each dol lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell at retail. Their entire output is sold at wholesale to many thousands of dealers in various parts of the world. There are hundreds of local slaughter ers throughout the United States, who buy their live stock in competition with thc packer doing an interstate and international business. Likewise the packer must sell in competition with the local slaughterers. There are no secret processes in the industry, no complicated and expensive factories, and as live stock can be purchased in almost every hamlet and city, and the preparation of meats is simple in the extreme, local slaughtering will long remain a factor in the production of fresh meats and provisions. Economic Advantages. The large packing houses will, how ever, always have these advantages: Locations- at the chief live stock cen ters, with the opportunity to buy the best live stock; manufacturing in large quantities, at the minimum of ex pense; utilization of all waste mate rial; refrigeration: mechanical appli ances; highly efficient business man agement These advantages are re flected in the quality of the packer's output, a quality that has reached its highest development in the products bearing thc name and brand of "Swift."

The same methods of purchas ing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at all cities. At Chicago, which l's the largest market, there are about two hundred and fifty buyers, representing packers, local slaughterers in various cities, and exporters. Of this number, less than a score are employed by Swift & Company. The fanner ?hips his live stock to Chicago, consigns tiiem to a commis sion firm at the Union Stock Yards, who sees that they are unloaded and put in pens. Then the buyers inspect them, make their offers to the commis sion dealer, who accepts or rejects as his judgment dictates.
