in part:
' What the assurance of more

courage, and are emharking on
new and hold enterprises. Capi- 1

many kinds are springing up in
every State, especially for the 1
manufacture of cetton goods. |

uimrintie, :s. l'., there are 300
cotton facturies nearly all built j
within the lust faw year*. In
South Carolina in 1890 thara wen
only 2,38*2 industrial establish
ments. In 1900 there were 3,70*2,
an increase of 57 par cant.
The capital invested increased
from 29,000,000 to 67,000,000
1 'According to tha census of
1890 there ware over 600,000
children under 14 years of age
grinding their lives out in the
mills, mines and factories of this
country. It is the testi i ony of
statistics and of medical science
that the working of children in '
factories cute off life abrut one !
half and stunts both body and '
mind It is said that tha savage I

Australian, when pressed by want i
will cook and ant his awn children. I'
For m\self 1 cannot see that eat- j
ing a child is much worse than .
grinding out its life in a factory,
If a farmer were to hitch his| ^

still opposed to it. 1 lie priuciple
is wrong. 1 contend that we have
no iiioic right to say what one
mail's child should do or should
uot do Ihuu we have of another,
lhe very unyi who are urging
this uiutte~ would be highly in
suited should anyone attempt to
iliclate to them Ibut their children
should not no thus and so. We
have as good people it the cotton
mills us there are anywhere and
ire entitled to us much respect
is any one, aud are as competent
10 look afiei the welfare of their
children us any other class of people.
God hlcs&ed them with these
children aud luid the responsiulily
on them to raise them up
11 the way that they should go,
tud 1 for one will never vote to
lake that privelige or responsibility
out of their hauds.

Foul Attempt at Murder Near
Rock Hill? A Package of Letters
Saves Life.
A diabolical uttemnt was made
to ninnies Mr. Walter K Patton
la>t Tuesday about 7 o'clock p ni.
He is manager of the Urge branch
store of the Rrxfdey Mercantile
0?. at Roddey, six miles southeast
of Rock Hill, on the S. C.
& (t. Ex road. About the hour
named Mr. Patton walked out of
the store to'close the shutters on
the front windows and while he
was thus engaged, having bis left
arm raised, some unknown person
ctouched behind a pine tree standing
alongside the public road, 87
feet distant from the stole, tired
a shot at Mr. Patton and it struck
him directly over the heart; but
a bundle of five letters and two
business cards which he had previously
put in the inside pocket
of his coat evidently saved his
life. The ball struck the bundle
of letters and glanced, tearing a
button from his vest, but doing
no other barm. Soon as the man
tired his hrst shot be jumped into
the road and taking aim fired
again, the hall passing orer Mr.
Patton's bead. Tbe latter, who
often carrie* a piste I between his
store and home, had it on his person
that night, and pulling it out
fired onthe would-he murderer, hut
be fled into the darkness and made
I his escape.
As soon as the facts became
. known an order was sent te Cbar|
lotte for bleoohounds, and at 11
o'clock that night a Mr. Shuford
/ J
came te Hock Hill with three
1 '* ^ ' )
dogs. Accompanied hy a number
ef young men in town he
; went to the scene of the attempted
, murder, but owing to the amount
of walking that had been done, a
reliable trivi' could not be obtained,
}
but taking one of the dogs to the
place where the man had slided
: down an embankment when he
| jumped into the road from behind
the tree, the hound took his track '
, !
and followed it down the railroai
i tnwrnl th? rivar hri#li?* A
, "ll"
j tracing at a break-neck speed un:l
with certainty for about a<piarter
of a mile, the dog left tho railroad
track and took the public
i roqd, and wai soen out of hearing.
Finally, however, he could
i be heard with Home indistinctness
i about a mile up tho river, baying
some one. The crowd in pursuit
hastened in that direction, but
when they had gone ahout a half
mile the dog returned to them and
the chase was given up. ? Hock
