The prisoners confined in the

to r^ior thpmRelvfts nnfc last

singing and makiDg other loud demonstrations,

excite the suspicion cf the sheriff

investigation revealed the fact that
the negroes had made a large hole
in the cemented floor and hid the
debris under a pile of blankets.
Attention is directed to the advertisement

because it was a blow at parental
authority to rule over their children;
sumptuary laws are always bad.
Parents are responsible to both the
divine and human laws for the control
of their children; if child labor
was prohibited in the mills then it

willing to submit the question of
biennial sessions of the Legislature
to the people? didn't know whether
it would be economy or not to have
biennial sesssions. He said members
ought not flitter away so much of the
early part of the sessions, but go to
work and they would not be compelled
to stay the forty day limit.
The above is about the burden of
their song, fairly stated with no desire
to misquote or misrepresent any

A Card.
To the Editor of tne JJispatcn:
I desire to say to the voters and my
friends in Batesburg and Leesville
that I am very sorry that I could not
be with and talk to them on the occasion
of their campaign meeting,
but the illness and death of my little
grandson prevented me from being
present. I trust that I will lose nothing
by reason of my absence.
Yours sincerely.
George A. Shealy.

He will speak to our people
