Third Reading Bills.
Thc house of representatives spe
a buisy day, giving third readings
14 bills which were sent to the sena
and to four which were ordered e
rolled for ratification as acts. 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. - - ^

Year 1905 Sales.
The total distributive sales for 1905
exceeded
8200,000,000.
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

"After using Cuticura Soap, Ointment,

entirely relieved of that itching humor of
the head and scalp which I was bothered
with quite a length of time. I did not
use the Cuticura Remedies more than
three times before I began to get better,
and now I am completely well. 1 suf
fered with that humor on my head, and
found no relief until 1 took the Cuticura

Louis, St. Joseph, St. Paul and Fort
Worth. 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. All buying must
be finished at 3 o'clock each day, and
the buyer must pay spot cash. If the
commission man has no satisfactory
offers, he "can hold his stock over to
thc next day. He gets his commission
from the farmer, and naturally strives
to get the highest possible price for his
client
Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house is a
giant refrigerator, but instead of
shelves there are trolley rails, from
which are suspenden" hooks to hang the
carcasses. Some\>f the houses cost as
much as a hundred thousand dollars to
build and equip. As a rule they are of
pressed brick, the insides being lined
floor, walls and ceiling-with highly
polished hardwood. The floors are cov
ered daily with fresh sawdust aud all
are kept spotlessly clean. There are
over three llundred of these wholesale
houses in various cities of the United
States, and the public is always wel
come to visit them.
Packing Plants,
All the Swift & Company plants arc
located at the great live stock markets,
in the heart of the great agricultural
sections, where can be purchased the
finest grades of cattle, sheep and hogs.
We have seven packing plants, employ

Another Case of Tumor Cured
by Lydia E Pinkhain's Vegeta

Dear Mrs. Plnkham:
" About three yea? ago I had intense pain
in my stomach, with cramps and raging
headaches. The doctor prescribed ior me,
but finding that I did not got any better h?
examined mo and, to my surprise, declared
I nada tumor. -,
' 'I felt ?ure that it meant my death warrant,
and was very disheartened. I spent hundreds
of dollars in doctoring, hut the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately I
corresponded with my aunt in one of the New ;
England States, who advised me to try ' Lydia
E. Pinkham'sVegetableCompound beioresub
mitting to an operation, and I at once started
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to .
improve, and after three months I noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. I kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it had entirely disappearecl without an oper
ation, and using no medicine but Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and words
fail to express how grateful I ara for the good
it ha* done me."-Miss Luidla Adams, Colon
