*?OMETHINO FOR THE ALL-IIO^E
PRINTS" TO DKiEST.
?-(From
Hnmorvllle. (la.. Journal.)
In those days of rapid strides of advancement
in every line of industry,
it Is simply foolishness for the publisher
outside of large cities to iry to print
his paper all at homo, as his forefathers
used to do, when no other way j
was open to then).
The principal and legitimate field of
the country weekly is first Its town,
county atid State, and then the outside i
world. it is now possible for the
country publish* r to r.ortire In some of
the large cities paper partly printed,
which contains the news of the day
from all over the world, as well as the
State news of his own State. Owing
Jo supclor facilities and machinery,
JhU central otilce can supply these 1
partly printed sheets made up of the '
very latest and up-to-date matter, including
telegraphic news of all Importr
ant evens*. Illustrated articles on
topics which are engaging the world's
attention, popular sermons ami letters,
and In fact every attraction that is
calculated to make the count y publisher
a strong competitor of the city
paper which becomes his opponent to !
an extent wlnn it reaches out to the j
country towns for subscribers.
This rcady-p intrd paper, while It
does all the above, also gives the publisher
more time to attend to other
piatters f om which money can be I
made, and to neglect which causes a
loss. Wr refer, for instance, to Job
printing, collection of hills, securing
new subscribers and advertisers, and
a number of other important and profitable
occupations.
Any publisher who advertises that
lie prints his paper ail nt home is male j
ing a very shallow boast, if he really
does so, alnca ho cannot give his readers
neaily as good service as otherwise.
If he Is making the claim while
using plntrs to till out with, he is
inisrt pr<.seating the facts, because the
petting up of the type to make the !
pint* s wlih'h he uses is a part of the
printing of his paper, ami the matter
js edited, srt in typo and stereotyped
away from home.
There a e few. if any. country weeklies
in this State, or any other Stale,
tvhioh do not use either ready prints
ur plates?consequently the really nllhoine-prlnt
paper is out of date almost
obsolete?a thing of the pn.*t and
surely nothing to boast of!
Over ten thousand publications i:i
the United Stat -s arc at pres. nt being
partly printed away f v>m home, and
we are pleased to say that ours Is one
of this number. We have found the
plan a material help In many ways.
ptir work Is half done f r us every i
week when we receive our paper; and
the rapid growth of our subsc iption
list and our advertising columns since
\
we adopted it form the best proof of
its popularity with both renders and
advertisers.
The editor of the Monroe .T ourmil
does not like the irrainmnticnl I
expressions of a correspondent in
one of his exchanges find publishes
the following extract to show what
blunders such writers make:
"Talking with Senator Si 111 pious yesterday
concerning the admirable Democratic
Hand B?jok issued by tho Domocmtjo
State Executive Committee, ho
said ti^ut portions of tho material hud
hoeu faraishod by Capt. S. A. Ashe, and
that t^o committoo desired to express
its thanks to him for his splendid work
lie is thoroughly informed on the questions
he handled and did so with great
ability.
To which The Journnl man offer*
this} comment:
I"Who ^vus talking with Senator Simmons
aint who can justify sneh use of
the principle which begins that sentence?
\Vpo was it that said i>ortious
Jiud been faraishod by Capt. Ashe. Who
is thoroughly informed? And what did
lie do with great, ability? And ain't
that article a dandy all round':"'
Too hn<l, for in anuthor coin inn
of The Journal we timl the following
item:
"Uucle John H. Simpson says he sold
sixteen hqgs Saturday night at >*3 for
tho drove. Tl^e swine were designed
for savings hank purposes and wen* purchased
by a eqlqred pastor for ilp> use of
hi' congregation."'
iienlly, one would havo to toe*
heads and taile to decide whose
blunder is the biggest.

]iaw been explained in these eol?

Money to be Divided.
!
The county trustee stockholders
of the Farmers' Alliance exchange j
will hold a meet iiur in the Slate
house Wednesday, October l!tt. for
the purpose of voting upon the
dissolution oT the exclianoe, says
I lie ('ol ainbia 1 lecord .
This marks the close iT the alii

about fourteen years ai;o.
when all lli?' farmers of 11? ? Si:11

or a little over. Tlie business of
tlie exchange finally dwindled
down, and then lie^an an agitation
to dissolve it and divide the money
between tin slib-allianees which
had contributed money <0 the
stoek of the exchange. \ of,.,-it
litlht was made at several sueeessive
annual meetings over this mat - 1
lor, but the exchange people always
won until tin* meeting last
spring. when they were defeated.
A new board of direetors was then
chosen and it is now favorable to I
wind inn "P the nffuirs of the exchange
and ret urni no t he money to

The money was deposited with
the old Farmers and Mechanics!
bank, which has been merged with
the Palmetto think and Trust company.
Dividing out the money
will he a difficult job, if such a disposition
of it is made, and it will
no doubt take more than a year to
accomplish t he task.

Why Children Work In iiie Mills.
The following ?'<r iele. nnent the
eliiid labor question. written for
the Man n f.iel n i ess," llee-rd hy Mr.
I. ! '. Muir. of this place, wfll lie
very inst met i\ e to those who are
not f:Thiilint* with the subject:
I ii I lii* discussion < f tIn- question
of child labor in tlic Smith there
nrc two distinct types of agitators
to lie met with. Tim first is fittingly
named the "hvalerian." who la-- |
lii s mostly what lie or sin wants
to believe without any careful invest
ii^at ion of (letails, and t he ot lu-r
is In- who. huviii" read tin- "hysterica,"
agrees with him. as no
other side of the question has
reached liiui. To the latter a logical
discussion of the facts of tin*
case ma's throw further liolit on
the subject and briii^ new convict
ions
Is it. then, that the mills today ;
employ ehild labor because of the
yaiii therein? Let us see.
('hildrcii are employed almost
oNrhisively in the spiniiino room.
The spinner's principal duly is to
mend up the t h reads as t hev break
down, and for this a stated sum
per side (..r half of each machine)
is paid. Some spinners can sue
res-sTuHy operate ten sides, others
ei^lil and so on. Now, the .-.pin
ner rnnniiie eiulit sides, wlieie the
mill pays, say 12 cents per side,
will receive '.Hi cents p< r (I V,
whereas the same sides operated
by child labor, runiiine two sides
each, would reipiire four hands.
Kuril would receive 21 cents p r
day. and the sum received bv tin
four will !>.- 1H? (*i*nls. It i-- therefore
clcjir Ilml the cost in (lolliirs
mill runts is the same in each case
for labor. I?111 this is not nil. for
< -11 i li I Inlior is nrrt ssnrilv unskilled.
Tlir rioJil-side spinner will make
less \v::slr. will nerd le.-s nitrtitioii
from the overseer, will save repairs
to (lie tniifli wiery 1 >v report ino defects
in time, mid will produce u
lietter quality ol ynrn. nil ot which
menus money to the mill nnd must
be computed in the comparison.
Therefore the child lid. >r costs the
mill more than skilled Inlior. Surely.
the frenzied talk of soulless
corporations orindine out theeliild
Inlior for their selli-h benefits is
absurd, and the shoe is on the
other foot.
It is an axiom that the "more ex
pert the workers in a cotton mill
or m any other manufacture, other
conditions bein?_r normal, the more
money that corporation will make.
Is il not. then, established that u
mill employing child labor must
do so at a loss to itself? The
question then arises, why do the
cotton mills employ child inlior?
Is is 1 iccuurc. after all, these soul
loss corporntions are the very soul i
of charily? Oli, no! It is hecause
tin* parents seeking employment
bargain with the mills for work
f >i the whole family, even to tho
eight ami nine-year-ohl child. To
run his mill the manufacturer
needs the parents anil tho elder
members of the family to operate
looms and other machines requiring
(jrinvn tip men and women, lint
in order to secure them he is
forced into employing the ehil I
dren. * * *
le closing, may I ask if the
child ia'oor agitators know the full
responsibilities (in South Caro-i
lina)from the passage of an act of
the legislature, prohibiting the em- i
ployment of children under twelve |
years of age. In this State there j
is no compulsory educational act.'
and who will take care of the i
young children shut out from the!
mill during working hours? Their ;
parents are at work, anil they must
he left to roam at will without the
slightest moral curb. Will it !)<
heller for them to grow up wild, I
untutored, without discipline, to
develop evil habits while their
minds are in tho plastic state
which the discipline of law and
order will perhaps never eradicate,
or be kept at work until the State
will compel the parent to give
them over to the safekeeping of
the school?
