The McCullough child labor bill was called up at 9 o'clock and Senator Padgett moved to strike out the house amendment limiting the bill to dis iricts which 'nave compulsory eauca-1 tion. The Colleton senator proposed to make the bill Statewide and to prohibit the employment of children under 14 years of age. Senator Padgett, in a forcible speech, pleaded for the passage of the bill and told the senate that the children should be protected. He referred to the Keating i>ill now before congress and said the State had better do something. There were several amendments offeerd to the bill and the opposition was led by Senator Wightman. Senator * Carlisle joined Senator Padgett in defense of the bill. Crowded galleries ^ listened to the debate with much in The senate amended the child labor -bill by making it apply to all children under 14 years of age.

The young ladies of the engrossing department hearing of the resolution flocked to the galleries and watched the debate with much interest. Senator R. D. Epps moved to table the motion, which was ' 'done, 24 to 11, which action met witn | a suppressed stir of approval froir the fair ones in the galleries. Under the terms of a resolution the ; 4 drawing for seats for next session I -took place this morning. 'This would J have caused a general rearrangement of the seats, the change to be made next session, and Senator Earle wanted to reconsider the action and let the seats remain as at present.

They had the engine at work with a grain separator, and blowing the hay up in the barn loft. It would have taken some hard work to have pitched the hay so high up, and they did it in half the time that way.

The Greenwood Journal says: Friends of Ralph Baker will be interested in the news that ne has been offered a contract and has accepted for a try out with the Richmond team in the International league the coming season. The deal was made with Mrr. Baker through George Wilson, a well known paper traveling salesman, wnose brother is part owner of the ; Richmond club. Mr. Wilson was given I the privilege of selecting one player I for the team and on his last visit to j Greenwood Ralph was recommended to 1 him so strong that he at once selected j the Greenwood and -Newberry star for 1 Richmond shortstop. Young Mr. Baker has made a bril, liant record at Newberry college, not only in baseball but in baske.ball and football, during his four years there and his admirers herepredict for i him just as brilliant a career in ororganized ball. It is compliment to his ability as a player that he has been offered a contract by Harbison of the Columbia team and urged to accept, but he has decided, with the consent of 'ais father, to try out in faster company. 'ihe Richmond Evening Journal under the heading, "A Sensational : Young College Star will Sign with the | Hikers," published the following: j "Ralpn Baker, the sensational young j Newberry college football, baseball , and athletic star, will sign a Richmond contract in a few days and will rrpcrt to Manager Smitn for a trial with the early arrivals. "Baker plays short and second; is ; said to be unusually fast on the base.! a snappy fielder and a youngster that will hit between .280 and .300 in prac-! J j ticallv any company.

The bill was opposed then by representatives of the Soutn, ' chiefly by Senator Champ Clark, and was not pushed. At the first session of the 64th con- j grDtc. C. jOIo. a Confederate pen. j sion bill was introduced in the house by Jno. M. Tillman of Arkansas, a Democrat. It has been received kindly, so far as appearances go; but! there is no way to tell now what the j result would be if it were brought .to a vote. The text of the bill follows: "Whereas, a large amount of money ?approximating $100,000,000, was secured and collected from the people of the South during the Civil war and i the Reconstruction pediod that follow- j ed, from the following-named sources. First, from captured and abandoned property; second, from confiscated property; and, third, from the collection of cotton tax from eighteen hundred and sixty-three to eighteen hundred ana sixty-eight; and "Whereas what is known as the 'cot ton tax' was illegally collected; and "Whereas the South prior to tae ' Cioi war and since that time abundantly proved her loyalty to the union, gamely lost without murmuring four million slaves valued at $2,000,000,000, gravp io the country much in miliary service and added much territory throuyh the genics an diplomacy of her statesmen; , "Whereas fifty years after the unfortunnte struggle between the States there exists only a scattered remnant of the gray chivalry that rarely lost a battle, many of whom are maimed and unable to work; "Whereas .it is desirable to destroy the last vestige of sectional feeling a'id emphasize i'ne fraternal spirit that should obtain in a happily reunited country and to permit a generous id j st government to recompense in part the South for her loss not justiutu by the s-.ern demands cf war; "Whereas it is practically impossible to restore the 'cotton tax' illegally collated or other property confiscated to the people from whom it was taken during and after the war; and E "Whereas the surviving soldiers of v the Confederacy are conspicuous and E deserving representatives of said sec- u tion; therefore ^ "Ee it enaoled by the senate and . 1 -e A house 01 representatives 01 me uuncu d States of America in congress assembled, That upon the passage of this j, act there shall be paid to each soldier n who served in the Confederate army and to each widow of any Confederate 3 soldier the sum of $500 and that in addition to this payment such soldiers and such widows shall be paid quar- t terly the sum of $30 per month each during the remainder of their lives. "See. 2. That this act shall be administered by the United States pen f 5itm umuc. "Sec. 3. That to carry out the pro- E visions of this act the sum of $100,000,- * 000 be, and ;the same is hereby, ap- v propriated. ; "Sec. 4. That this act shall be in 9 force from and after its passage." f A local interest attaches to this 13 subject, in addition to the very gen- ^ eral interest that is felt in it, because f Capt. M. M. Buford of this city was 5 one- of the first, if not the very first, a to advocate this plan of returning the c ? ii ? + winnow o? an a/rf of tardV I r (JUllUU Id A 111VL1V J uu . J justice to the South. Some years ago f he discussed the matter in a let:er to e The Observer, and there have been I several later comunications from him on the subject. He interested his old friend G. G. Buchanan of Oklahoma, a < former South Carolinian and a very a enthusiastic Confederate veteran, in j the subject, and Mr. Buchanan urged j c the proposition by speeches and|< through newspaper articles and at the j general reunions?all which he at-1 . tends. And Capt. Buford has urged 1 the proposition m leueis 10 uuusi COS>- | men. i The proposition is a big one, and , would draw a big sum of money into . the Southern States. In Newberry , county, for instance, there are 64 pen- . fcioned veterans under the State law l < and 74 widows, and tnere are somewhere about 150 ivererans who are not 1 pensioners, but would be included un- ' der the Tillman bill. That would mean, if the bill passes, about $175,000 to ' come to Newberry county by .the $500 paid down in lump sum at the begin- ; ning, and $30 a month following that would amount to nearly three-fourths j qc miifh fnr thp first vear. gradually < decreasing each year as the pension- j erg die off. In the State last year there were, 8,802 .Confederate pensioners?veter-; ans and widows; $500 apiece would j mean $4,400,000.
