This is a bright and blessed morning
I feel better?a good deal better. Think

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

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

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."

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

make the difference. The amcndmcr.
was agreed to.
The house further agreed to the
amendment to provide $'J95 additional

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.

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
:

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
