E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New ferry. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, January 8, 1907. According to t,he quarterly report of the dispensary publisied in (this is sue there is an item of $20-184.20 ''due State for enforcement. of dispeiisary law in dry counties.'' In the same re port the cost of, the cotnstabulary is put down at $12,243.20 whicli is about. the average exipenses for three months. We suppotie the item due by the dry counties covers the entire year but if it does the dry counties must be charged up with nearly one half of the total cost of the consta bulary granting that nothing has been paid. We invite every farmer to read the address of President E. ). Smith, of the Cotton association published in this issue. The profits that are made out of cotton must. come out of the producer. Those who hatnde it after it leaves the producer want to get it from hi ii jist as chleap) a-s they can and no one bliames them, hut it be hoves t ie falrmlier. as .Mhr. SIiti points out, to see to it tlat lie too has a pro fit in it hel'ore it leaves his hands. The editor left. yesterday for Co huiihia to assumne I his didies as a mem her of Ile legislatiure.

The association decideld to place a copty a fthle following onl the desks of the mienmbers of the senat e and house of replreseni tat ives. A copy will atlso le mailed to the membhers oft both houses: To House and Senate. -To th li onorable Senate and 1Ilouse of R'Iepresen tat ives of the State of Sout h Carolina: The unuders im.ned coimmi tlee was ap pinited lby a meet iii: otf theit South Carolina (Cott on Mainufact urers, held at (reenville.

The thIiree siihjects will be briefly mienitionel(d in reverse order to thle above, thle intenut of thle memonrtitl be ing, inot to Clniineratel I thle man1 iy argut ment s which might hie advanced in fa vor ot thle passage of thle Ia ws sug gest ed, but chiefly toa put thle State's textile mianufact urers squarely and defini tely on record as fa voring, and earnest ly urging such legislation. Registration of Births. Te Ilack (if proiler registria tin oif births and consequentlv iniability' to ascertinii positively the ages of child ren is a const anlt liinid ae to those who are' conscientijoustly tryying to ad here rigidly to thle requirmennt s of the recently enacted law govering~ Ite cimploymneint of cliir en of tet yea rs--commonly known as the 'Child Labor Law."' In fact thtat ab sence of age record is in many in staindes a shield to grasping andt uin sortiputous parents against whiose greed the law is intended to operate. It is trueo it will take time for such ai ~; record to be of value, butt this mecre >ly emphasizes the importance of de laying no longer in commencing the accumulation of data, the need fot which is already at hand. Marriage License. Our State's position as to divorce i Swptl known. Is it not by reason there specall incumbent upon us ti '"thow safeguards around the enterinj ~ito marriage relation? The early ag at which matrimonial aliances, wre formed is in itself startling. The fre quency wilth which the relation is sev ered-merely by imutnal consent or by desortion-is i deplorable ienace to morals. We voice the sentiment, not only of the mill managers, but, we be lieve, of the more thoughtful and dis cerning mill operatives, when we urge the requiring of marriage licenses and greater watchfulness as to the viola Uions of existing laws. Oompulsory Education. -Irrevocably opposed, as we are, to ''elass legislation''-to (lie passage of any laws designated either to exer cise restraint over, or to accord special privileges to any one class of citizens, alone-we have been unable to give our support to the measure hereto fore introduced 'intended to require school attendance on 'the part of the cotton mill operatives only. We admit that the facilities now provided by many of the mill cor porations, the longer term of the mill 'schools, etc., would empliasize Ithe necessity of compelling the youth of tile cotton mill villages to accept the educational advantiages thus afforded. Still it mu-st be remembered that it is from tle farms that the bulk of our textile workers have come, and are still comingil, and that the statis ties as to lak of edluation-so esaily obtained f.rom the compact mill vil ilarge-still refleets to a .rea rver extent the educational dificiencies of the re mote rural distriets. There are already more negro chil dren than wlhites enrolled in tlie pub lie schools of our State-the pereen I.age of' attendanice of tle negro chil dHren is larger. Ibr much longer will lie senseless fear of rciein.. (7) the ieioes into sellools (eter us from re qu'iing- aln acceptaice by the elhildren of illiterate whites of tile opportuli ties of learning which our public school system offers? Through what other method can a more intelligent citizenship be obtained. We earnestly urge, the pas sage of a. law compelling school at tendanee by all children bet ween the ages of' eight and twelve, regardless of residence or avocation of parents. John A.
