HE HAD CIIEERFUI COMPANY. Orandchildrcn to Watch the Clock for Time to "lake the Medicine ? Reads the Papers. This is a bright and blessed morning I feel better?a good deal better. Think 1 ...ill ...rlln o 1 ,,1'Dn r,r Iwn nf II (TV I V If a slelc man lias good surrounding it boats medicine, Hood cheerful company to call and not stay long?g od children to sympathize and watch vim clock for medicine titno, good grandChildren to conic and kiss you and go to and from and talk and make a noise ; n good wife to scold you and tell how imprudent you have been, and a good doctor to look at your tongue and choke you with a spoon handle so as to see away down the esophagus. But nature has the best of medicines stowed away in the blessed sunshine that gives life and vigor to everything animal and vegetable and revives the droouinr spirits of the sick. It has been n. loug anil Uanl winter?the coldest ana most disagreeable onn hundred consecutive days that we have had for years. How i enviey the good people of Florida while I read Tom Sawyer's rhapsodies in the Clear Water paper over the advent of spring with Its peach tre es and yellow jessamine perfuming tlie balmy air with their fragrant blossoms. But it is coming? gentlo spring is not far away now and a day like this is its harbinger. If it were not for the daily catalogue of horrible things that headline the daily papers even a sh:k nian could I e caltu and serene on such a day as this. An aged country friend told me that he had quit taking Hip daily papers for it distress- j od him to read sucii things. "I haven't ! long to live." said he. "and I don't j wish to rloiul my mind with a daily re- , cord of human misery." But most all people have to mix up with tho affairs of rations and of men and keep posted about verything that happens. We can t skip the bad and read the good only. There is a fascination about horrible things that we cannot resist. They arc tho llrst things we look for. They excite our pity or our indignation or our wonder. Our childhood began that way for wo never tired of Jack the Giant Killer an l Rawhead and BloodyBones and Robins hi Crusoe. And now the editor of the press dispatches carelessly looks over the little slips that are laid upon his desk and reads "Another explosion in the mines?one hundred killed;" "Another railroad wreck ?thirteen killed," and then regimes the little anecdote lie was narrating to a friend. We are all growing ease hardened to pain and grief and suffering for the same reason that the surgeon becomes ease hardened to the pain of his patient. But ever and anon some now horror come along that shocks humanity and nstounds the world. I read throe long columns last night about the horrors of adulterated food in Paris and how IS.(100 infants died the last year from poisoned n.ilk. How the great Incorporat< d dairy companies in the suburban towns have to deliver SOO.OOO quarts every night. It Is skimmed before it is canned and then i& watered 20 per cent htfore. it. is put on the cars. On arrival at their depots it is delivered in cans to SOO milk boys (gareons) who get $1.'I0 a night and as much more an they can make by watering the milk from the hydrants that are supplied from tlin rivrr Seine, tlie filthiest river In all France. One hundred doteetivos nvp employed to watch these hoys, but the boys have detectives, too, and aro seldom eaeght or arrested. The mine Intendent of police savs it is impossible for one hundred men to follow and watch fight hundred boys and he. now asks foe two thousand. This watered milk quickly sours and by the time it Is delivered to the retailer at day break It. has to bn watered again with a solution of bicarbonate of soda. This is the. milk that supplies nil Paris, and Is daily fed to infant children and In a brief time they take cholera Inantum or diarrhea and die. The medical faculty all testified that this milk caused the death of over 1S.000 infanta in Paris in one year and the mortality was on the increase, and this does not Include the deaths of children over ono year old. These eight hundred bova are organized into a powerful syndicate for protection and d >f :i.cv Each pays into their treasury $1 a week, making n total of f 1 1,000 a month with which to pay lawyers' fees and fines and (he wages of those in jail and to bribe the city detectives not to catch them when watering the milk. They water It while the wagons are on the go-pumping in behind with cans ot water. The milk suspect 1 is tuia* it over to the city chemists, who analyze and report that if the beys are arreted most of tlx ni escape punishment in some corrupt way. lint none are discharged. They go b:i k n? once into the company's service. P.ut Paris is ar ur.od ap it never lias been and devl.*.i'-a th.? death dealing business shall ho hi'< icc-i no if it t:tki-si t w i 1 ti Hiot. T,.1 i.. I tertivcfl to pursue tho eight hundred boys. "Our children are fed en nttcrobos from tho river Seine," is now on every tongue. Other citi?s have taken up tho cry and notion and Dunkirk show larger death rate of tnfant.sthan Paris, and now thew say no wander tho population of Franco .s decreasing Instead of increasing. We are poisoning three fourths of all tho children before they are n year old and half the . remainder soon after. Seine water, ml- j crobcs and bicarbonate of soda! I This exposure comes from late otl*cial sources ami is no doubt the truth or very near it. Just think of It and shudder?18.000 innocent, helpless babes murdered in one year in one city. Tom Hood wrote a song about the poor sewing women that aroused all London. If he wcro alive In Paris now what a pitiful subject he would have for another song. What a shame upon , our sex. for it is not women who do these tilings, but men and boys. The mothers suffer In giving thorn birth They nurse and cherish and clasp the i little things to their bosoms and love! and hope and pray, but the destroyer' comes ana men ail she can do is to i grieve ami weep. England slaughter-1 Ins the Boers and Franco her Innocent 1 children. What next? A graphic writer in The New York J Press describes a different kind of hoi -. ror that wo know not of. but is a llv ; ins. breathing, seething thing that is not new but has come to stay and grows bigger and more horrible as th? >ears move on. He says: "It would have been unnecessary for Gustav Pore to follow Dante for a text in order to picture the horrors of hell." The government has established free baths at Hot Springs, where thousands of th? most miserable of all God's creatures congregate and bathe for relief and a ' care from their loathsome diseases. These wretches leave their rags upon the cemented iloots which are an inch deep in water, then stagger or reel or crawl naked as the fiends in the chambers of hell. From thence they crowd Into a third room where the water and the air is up to 110, and the stench of foul odors is horrible. In this room are two large pools like vats in a tan yard, and the victims tumble Into them like hogs into a mud puddle. No doctor, no soap, no towels, no attendants and they are soon hurried out to make room for mere, for seven hundred u duy is the maximum. Ten. fifteen or twenty at a time soak their loathsome infirmities in the nasty, filthy, hot healing waters, and then recloth themselves with their wet rags and go somewhere to dry. All are benenttcd and 10 per cent are cured. What a picture! Their lives, such as they have made them, are not worth saving, but they cling to them and live , in hope and defy despair. One hundred t and seventy-eight thousand of these I hllT?flt1 hnlnivc 4 1 ' |>anocu I III 1 11-',!! lilt' 15'C<* baths last \car. One bath room It; for white mcti, one for white women, one for negro men and one for negro women. Not far away is a magnificent hotel, and there is a fashionable ball going on. The rule, the gay, the elite are there. One moment a man is waltzing with his wife, the next with s :mo other man's wife, the next with somcbodv's mistress. Everything goes, and all is hell. A famous physleian took his daughter there this season, but scut her homo quickly to keep hrn* from the j company of wealthy and diseased para- \ sites Almost every one who goes there I legisters under an assumed name and plays incognito during liLs stay. A southern judge was recently railed upon for a toa?t at a hotel banquet and said: "Here's to the names we left behind us." Rut the half has not been told?some of it is too bad to tell. Every night the poker rooms are in blast and thousands won and lost. The reader ponders and wonders "ua such tilings be in this Christian land, and in this Clod's country. Verily, the. humble and the poor who live around us on the hills and in the valleys or down in the piney woods should he thankful for the health and morality that comes from poverty. Burns never wrote a truer verse than that which says: "And I know by the smoke that so graceful 1> curled From among the dark elms that a cottage was near. And 1 raid to m\self if thice's peace in this world. The heart that is humble might hope for it there." ? Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.

Twenty-second Day?The House had the Trust bill under discussion during the entire clay, both morning and evening sessions being devoted to its consideration without accomplishing any tangible results. Th- amendments offered were all voted down an<l a motion to strike out the enacting words was lost by a goed majority. Twenty-third Day?The House did buf little business outside of routine business. There was much discussion '.n at.? A. A. ? * * - iivt i nit* matters 01 rc-aiBiricung tau st:\te. but tho senate bill finally passed as! given in these columns. IT venty-fourth Pay?When the nppiopriation bill cam-- up for third re'id'ns Mr. Harvey Wilson, chairman offered nil amendment to increase tho appropriation for print ng from $12,000 to $20,000. The. code must bo printed th'is year, he explained, and that will make the difference. The amcndmcr. was agreed to. The house further agreed to the amendment to provide $'J95 additional to have the code printed on strong r paper on which the acts are now p,inled. There wrro no other amendments offered and the bill pasted third readi| g and was sent to the senate. < A night session was held, but nothing of general interest was dispatched. The house adjourned till Friday. 10 a. m. Twenty-fifth Day?Doth the "supply bills" were given second reading in the j HlIouse. The proposed drainage law li as killed as was Mr. DeBruhl's bill to require all foreign corporations locating to do business In this State to take out charters in this State. The House Also passod the bill to require county hoards of education to name the teachers In the county summer schools and the several bills to give relief to certain townships which voted bonds In aid of the Greenville and Port Koyal road? | wnicn was never built. The House was in session nearly eight hours and began to got the heavy bills out of the way. There will bo ' many bills to die on the calendar, how- i ever, because they cauuot be taken up in time. SEN ATM. Twenty-second Day?There was n long an<1 at times oxcltini; debate in the Senate over the rcdistrioting bill.) The measure, as it passed the House.! finally passed its second reading in tlv Senate, with the single amendment that Clarendon is taken from the Seventh district and placed In thCFitSi district. It Is thought that this amendment will be agreed to by >the Hons" and that the bill will be ratified In this shape. Senator Gruber offered tin amend which would have materially ! changed the First, Second and I Seventh districts, but after a long debate tlie amendment was lost. When Senator Mayfleld undertook to have Edgefield and Salncla placed i n separate districts. This brought forth a spirited protest from Senator She pard, who carried his point, and Edge field and Saluda remain side by side In the Second district. The redisricting bill, as it passed the Senate yesterday, arranges the Congressional districts as follows: First District?Charleston, Berkeley, Colleton. Clarendon and Dorchester. Second District?Aiken, Bamberg. Barn well. Beaufort, EdgefleU}, Saluda and Hampton. Third District Pickens. Oconee. Anderson.

Sixth District?Marlboro, Marion. Horry. Darlington, Florence, Williamsburg and Georgetown, Seventh District?Richmond!, Sum nr.. urar.grburg and Lexington Twenty - third Day ? The Senate spent tho day on the question! of appropriations. The bill as given elsewhere in these columns was , passed without material change. Twenty - fourth Day ? The (Senate was in session more than six hours,t but during that time no great number1 of matters was acted upon? debute being the order of the day. Nearly all of the morning was consumed in the consideration of the hill to provide for a commission to settle the boundary line dispute between Greenville and Spartanburg. The bill was klllied. At the night session Senator Mayfield's bill to provide for the establishment of a state fertilizer plant was killed.as was also a joint resolution, which had beforo passed the houac, for the appointment of a committee (jo Investigate tho feasibility of so. h a scheme. j The bill to make domestic fowls subject t'? the provisions of the general stock law was also killed hv a refusal to ad id! the report of the frre Conference committee, which had tho bill in hand. The free conference committee re-, ported on the house on the "chicken 1)111." Tho committee reported in fa vor of the hill as it left the house, rejecting the senate amendment. The senate had proposed to make the provisions of the bill apply to chickens as well as other domestic fowls. *i'ho house want* d to exempt chickens. There was a lot of good n at it red discussion of tho report and the vnta nn Um committ< "'.s r spore was about to1 ho taken when tlie senate went ovpt whrrt that it had rejected the froo eon'erencr commit lee's report. The ho^iae followed suit, and the hill is daad. The following new biila were Introduced : Dy Senator Mayfleld, to amend tj^e I 1 . ; . I art regulating tho rate of interest upon contracts arising in this state for tho other commodity. By the committee on 'drainage, to provide for cleaning out the streams and draining the swamps and bottom lands of this state. The committee to which was referred ihe bill to establish I.ee county reported favorably on its passage. Tho objections which were urged against the bill, and which at one time threatened to defeat it. have been found to be i not substantiated, and the bill will now lie passe 1 without further interefcrnce. Twenty-fifth Hay.?When the Senate met an agreement was made to consider only unoontentestcd matters. By this arrangement a great many Mils that have been on the calendar fur days were advanced. A few hills oniy got their third reading, but ">7 second read* j ing hills were acted upon. THE GRAYLON DILI. I A Substitute Meisure Against Chemical Campany.
