In last Sunday's News appears a letter from Senator Tillman, in which he makes declarations with reference to the Lovering resolution looking to allowing Congress to fix hours of labor. The House committee rejected the resolution and the Senator is glad of it. We agree with him that the States alone should con trol such matters. If Congress was to pass a law regulating the hours of labor it would operate seriously against the* very peo ple such a law is intended to help; and further, it would take away the rights of States to reg ulate their internal affairs. He goes on in his letter to discuss the child labor problem, and in doing so he uses very strong lan guage- and makes declarations which, in our dpinion. is calcu lated to create unrest among the mill operatives. The question of child labor in the mills throughout this State, like all other questions, has two sides, and we do not believe the agitation is calculated to do good. The class of people who work their children in the mills do not do so from choice, but be cause they find it a better means of support than depending upon tilling the soil. If the mill own ers did not give employment to the children what would become of the thousands of children thrown out of employment? The parents of these children not being able to send them to school would be forced to sub mit to their children growing up in idleness, and consequently in vagabondage. The Senator says: I agree heartily with the idea of the South Carolina Legislature being com pelled to protect child labor in our fac tories, as well as prevent the excessive hours of labor among adults, and I shall lend my support, with all the earnest-. ness I possess to force the next Legis lature to relieve the State of the odium now attaching to it. The cotton mill presidents may clamor for the privilege of blighting the lives of the children who work in the mills, when they should be at play or at school, and they may demand the right to declare divi dends by this cannibalistic proces, but unless I'mistake the people of our State the issue has only to be presented fully and bravely to cause the Legislature to do its duty by an overwhelming major ity. It is unfortunate, conditions are such that children have to work, but we do not think the cotton mill presidents desire "blighting the lives of the chil dren who work in the mnills.when they should be at play or at school" and the fact that at most of the mills provision has been made for schools and churches and the best of teachers employed, shows that these pres idents have an eye to the welfare of their young operatives. But when parents are so poor that it takes all a family can make to live, what are these poor peo ple to do? We have given much consideration to this perplexing question and it would be very gratifying indeed if some wise solution of the problem could be brought about. The Senator's letter does not offer any remedy whatsoever,but on the other hand it is simply a condemnation of the employment of children. If he will point out a means whereby the laboring children can find a way to subsist while they are "at play or at school " he will be doing the State a valuable ser vice. A widow with two or three children with absolutely no one to reach out a helping hand, not even the helping hand of a politi cian,what would she do if her chil dren were forbidden by the law to help her provide a livelihood? To regulate the hours of labor would not remedy the trouble, for the reason, that a shorten ing of the hours would lessen the pay, and while it might work an injury to the mills, in our opinion, the laborers would also be injured. Then to fix an eight hour law as a standard, it strikes us would go beyond the cotton mills and reach every industry in the State. The labor ques tion is a grave one. and it ought not be dragged into politics, for once it gets there all classes of labor, the factories, shops and and farms will all come in for their share and there is no tel ling where it will s;top. 'The legislature should give labor protection, at the same time, in attempting to protect labor un less the greatest wisdom is brought into use, the pendulum of agitation may swing too far, and instead of protecting labor., it will be crippled.

Because the people were not allowed to have a free voice in the affairs of the gov ernment, and to have a voice in the government the primary plan was adopted with every man pledged to abide by the de cision of the majority. Under the primary system the people are given an opportuity of hear in- the issues discussed, and of making a selection between men and neasures. We would lIke to ask if by signing a pledge In a(vance of the primary for . candidate, is it not divesting the primary of one of its principal features If a majority of the voters petition in advance of the primary, what is the necessity for a campaign? We are told that those who are circulating petitions claim that the petition is not binding upon the signer; then if that is true, it should not have any weight in influencing a man to come out as a candidate, and he stands in the same posi tion as he was before he was pe titioned. In our judgment the signing of a petition for one candidate op erates to the exclusion of other men who might come out if a peti tion had not existed, it deprives the voters from exercising a choice from a number of candi dates. There have been several gentlemen mentioned in connec tion with a certain office, and all of them might stand were it not for the snap judgment taken by the circulation of various peti tions for one man in the several parts of the county. If it is made to appear that a majority of the voters have petitioned for one man the others might come to the conclusion that the voters have already signified their preferehce before an opportunity has been had to discuss the issues, and thus chill the entering of men whom many of the petitioners believe and are better qualified would prefer voting for. Every man aspiring for polit ical preferment should be wil ling to take his chances before the people and, if by his argu ments he can win, the prize is fairly his, but if our primary system is to continue, the taking of snap judgments will not be encouraging to that end, any more so, than is the practice of proxy voting, which created so much dissatisfaction in the last primary, fortunately, the evil.of proxy voting will not come again, because it is thoroughly understood all over the county that no votes will go into a bal lot box unless the same is de posited there by the voter; two years ago, the proxy voting that came to the knowledge of the executive committee, was done without intent to defraud, but only as a result of neighborhood custom, later however, it has been said there was proxy voting at other places which was not brought to the attention of the committee. but if it is repeated this year it will result in being reviewed by the courts. The people do not want any frauds nor will they submit to frauds. and as long as the primary sys tem is conducted in a fair and honest manner it shall remain the ar-biter between Democrats. Is Golf Catching on to popular favory It seems to be. A noticeable increase in sales of Pain killer comes from golf districts. The reason for this is clear, as Perry Davis' Painkiler is the oldest and best rem edy extant for sprains, strains, bruises and soreness, all of which are of com mon occurrence, either in vigorous play or through accident. Everywhere the standar~liniment and balm. The Columbia State and Sena tor Tillman are making faces at each other about the trouble at Clemson College. The State wants the Senator to lay aside his personal prejudice and elect Professor McBryde to succeed Doctor Hartzog, and Senator Tiliman regards The State's sug gestions as "intermeddling," and so expressed himself in a very caustic manner, and The State equally as caustic gives Senator Tillman to understand that Clemson College is a public institution, maintained by public taxation.s In our opinion any agitation of the Clemson trouble is calculated to result in injury; there can be no go->d in it, and as the institution is governed by a competent board of trustees, it is best that they be allowed to manage as conditions in their judgment demand. We kept close up with the testimony at the investigation and so far as we could see Dr. Hartzog had absolutely nothing to do with the affair, but at the same time, it developed that the student body lack thatt confi dence in him, as is requisite for a successful administration. This is to be regretted, that such a condition should exist in an in stitution which should be the pride of the State, and we sin cerely hope that the trustees will yet solve the difficulty, and that the welfare of the institution will be unimpaired.

For The tendency of the age is to wdrds monopoly, this we thid on every hand. There is hardly a day but new charters as issued to create corporations, some of these institutions start out with full determination to combine their wealth to force greater power and prices for the individual share-holders. In the name of business, the sin of oppression is committed. The only way it can be checked is for the people to combine and resist this oppression. If in every county an oil mill was establish ed, owned by the people, and operated for their benefit. the farmers would be enabled -to hold inl check the monster that is 0iow oppressing them severe ly, or if they cannot provide the neans to manufacture their meal, they can refuse to sell their seed and put it back into the ground just as they did be fore there were any oil mills. The demand for cotton seen meal and oil is constantly growing, not alone for fertilizing pur poses, but for food and for the manufacture of numberless ar ticles, and before many years, unless there is some check, the product from these mills will be so high that farmers cannot use it at all. The parties investing their money in corporations are not to be blamed for obtaining high prices for their product, but as self preservation is the first law of nature, the farmers should guard their interests and devise means to prevent corpor ate greed from becoming their masters.

I make this request, be cause there are many people in Clarendon who do not read the daily papers, and who are liable to be misled by false impressions some of your enemies are trying to create. When they read the interview for themselves, then the mischief maker will be out of a job. SUBSCRIBER. THE INTERVIEW. Editor Louis Appelt, of Manning, was in the city yesterday, He did not ap pear to be any the worse for wear after his recent brush with Senator Tillman, and when seen by a Reporter for The News and Courier he talked freely about that and about Senator McLau rin's recent letter to the public, Col. Appelt said: "I am here on private business solely. The people o* Clarendon are busy pre paring for a crop and they are mani festing but little interest in politics; the slim attendance at the club meet ings is an evidence of this. Possibly having attended the "Tillman rally" the day before had something to do with their not going the club meetings, which elected delegates. -"The tilt I had with Senator Tillman was my first experience of the kinj. and the reports sent out by the re porters were altogether partisan: those who heard the speeches will say that the reports do not do me full justice and that!I was not so badly 'done up' as the newspapers make it appear. 1.pre sented the case against the Senator. and it was fully~ understood that the charges were based on information and written certificates. My presentation speech occupied about one hour, totally devoid of stale jokes and odious comn narisons. and while I was not quoted to any extent, the Reporter of The News and Courier said I 'was a surprise as a speaker:' that I had 'an uphill job, but made a capital speech' Senator Till man found enough in my speech to keep him laboring for hours in an en deavor to explain why it was the State got no rebates during his administra tion and when he concluded froth was standing out from the corners of his mouth like balls of cotton. His expla nation, to say the least of it, was an un businesslike transaction, wvhichi busi ness men will be puzzled to understand. The crowd was in sympathy with him. before he uttered a word, but there were some who regarded his explana tion as vague. "The aspirants for office added much to aid him. and w~hen he commanded that I should not be sent to the Con vention, as it would reflect on him, he showed himself to be in desperate straits: his orders were obeyed so faith fully- that when the Convention met, instead of a r-epresentation for 1,00 voters, as the county is entitled to, which would give 64 delegates, as a re sult of lax methods in perfecting club rolls without any fraudulent intention. there wer-e enrolled 100 delegates, a representation for 2,500 voters. about 1,000 more than there is in the county. My name was used in the Convention against my judgment, but I yielded be cause my friends insisted upon it. Not withstanding this, I received a very complimentary vote-one-third of the votes cast. "I do not approve of Senator Mc Laurin's letter. If he wanted to retire he should have said so and no more. I think he makes a mistake to ignore the primary, foi- that institution is our only hope of keeping the white people to gether. I do not believe McLaur-in will join the Republican party, nor will I believe it until he makes such a decla i-ation. I am his personal friend. hut I regard fealty to the Democratic par-ty a higher duty than personal fr-iendship. MLaurin, in my opinion, should have waited until the State Convention act ed, and then, if he could not comply with its requirement, refuse to become a candidate and wait in retirement un til the people called for him. "The primary system is the bulwark of white supremacy in this State and in must be maintained at all hazar-ds. eveni if sacritices must be made. I simply hope the Convention w-ill not tam per with the party pledge. It is good and strong enough. I feari if once the Con vention permits changes it will openf the door to allowing politicians, who can control a Convention, to make changes for- their adlvantage and to the exclusion of op)posing ,aspirants. Let the pledge stand as it has been ever since 1890. and let us all go to woirk to inspire confidence in the management of the primairy. There is no need to invite discontent and the people can be trusted. A man who will not submit to the action of the Democratic Conven tion cannot command foi- himself the confidence of the people and they will. not vote for him. '--News and Courier, Ma- 9. Pyny-Balsazn Relieves Right Away a.,a -m.kesaspd nenofghs andlcr-ns. The Exposition During the Month of May. The Southern Railroad, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Plant System have arranged to continue the sale of the cheap tuesday tickets to the Exposi tion, as sold during the month of April, on every Tuesday and Thursday during the month of May. This will enable all who have not vet visited the Expo sition to do sc during its -losing month, and those who have visited it, to again take advantage of the low%- rate offered,! as many will undoubtedly so. There has been a great deal said through the columns of the papers in regard to the Exposition and its many attractive features. There is one how ever that has been almost entirely ig nored or overlooked by our correspon dents. and probably from the fact that I its location is.-much as not to attract general 'attention. Reference is made to the Grass Garden of the U. S. Agri cultural Department, which consists of four acres of ground. and is located just east, of the encamument of the Marine Corps. Every farmer who visits the Exposition, should visit this Garden.; Here are to be found growing over fifty different specimens of forage crons suitable for our Southern suns, as well as wheat, rye and barley of many kinds. The seeds of the different forage crops referred to have been gathered from Egypt, Africa. China, Ireland, Scot land, England, Australia and many other countries. The representative of the Agricultural Department in charge of the Garden is a practical farmer, and can give the visitor full information regarding each and every species of the crop, and it can be said to every farmer, if he can spare time to come down, everi if he spends only one day at the Exposition, let him care fully study these forage crops, get a list of such as he wants to use, and he will be ten times repaid for the expense of the trip, and for the time he may think he is losing from his farm. Like a Drowning Man. "Five years ago a disease the doctors called dyspepsia took such hold of me that I could scarcely go," writes Geo. S. Marsh, well-known attorney of No cona, Tex. "I took quantities of pep sin and other medicines, but nothing helped me. As a drowning man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol I felt an improvement at once and after a few bottles am sound and well." Kodol is the only preparation which exactly re produces the natural digestive juices and consequently is the only one which digests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble. The R. B.

And economical I should smile. This saving fellow was getting a Maine story paper, and found by sending a dollar he could get a cure for drunkenness. Sure enough he did. It was "take the pledge and l eep it." Later on he sent 50 two cent stamps to find out how to raise beets successfully. He found out. The answer "just hold and pull." Be ing single he wished to marry and sent 34 one cent stamps to a Chicago firm to learn how to make an impression. When the answer came it read: "Sit down on a pan of dough." That was a little tough; but he was a patient man and thought he would yet succeed. The next advertisement he read, "how to double his money in six months." .He was told to convert his money into bills, fold them and lie would see his monev doubled. But he was bound to get some useful secret by which he could make money, and sent $5 to find Out how to write without pen and ink. The answer was, "try a lead pencil." Then he sent a dollar to learn how to learn to get rich-"work like the devil and never spend a cent." This was discouraging: but he decided to try once more and sent a dollar bill to learn how to live without work and was told to "fish for suckers as we do."
