The Herald now comes to us in G-column, eight page form and is brim full of good Voiding matter and well set ads. f Editor Jfijiljs a worker and the success with which he is meeting is justly deserved. Senator Tillman says that he would much rather see the negro : stay here than to bring into this country white people from the slums of Europe and riff-raff from all over the world. If the immigrants who have visited this section during the past few months are fair samples of what are to follow, we must say that ' the negro is indeed the more ?je 'sirable resident of the two. "Times are hard" to be sure , but what's the use of climbing up on a dry goods box and day after day proclaiming to the world this old thread-bare stereotyped "assertion. We sometimes thihk that times ought to , be still more stringent with some of these fellows.

It is pleasing news to the people of the South that the govern jmsnt is so >n to begin the placing "oi neaa stones to tne graves of Confederate soldiers and sailors who died in Federal prisons and military nospitals in the North /luring the Civil war and who juried near the place of 'their confinement. Col. Wm. Elliott, an olficer in the Confederate army and formerly Representa tive from this State, has been appointed commissioner to take charge of the work. The territory in which tlje graves are located extends as far south and L west as Santa Fe, N. M., and as k far north and east as Boston. It is a rare thing for a year to I pass without someone getting I into the papers as having jnventI el a cotton picking machine, but the great trouble that confronts I i ie inventor is in getting up one I that will roa.Mv ni/'U and Jeave out the trash. The 'latent machine of this kind is ' died the Pneumatic Cotton Picker, and a company with a <a ital of $2)0,000 ha; been orgnized at Columbia forthemanu-1 1'acture of the machine. The njw picker works on the princip'e of a vacuum, extracting the cotton from the ripe boll and '"transferring1 it to another vacuum through which girt and leaves arc dropped. It js planned to place . t machine on the market at 9 oice. The weight of the mic lino for one or two horses will bo about 1.0(H), and it is claimed that it will do the work of at 1 last 40 hands." This is highly interesting news and if this comkp iny has invented a machine that will actually (Jo the work that is .Claimed for it, there is a fortune on short notice waiting on the makers.

Journal of Political Eponoi*S?nt-i?sue presents some ipstruCTive ^yiir?? bearing on wcfrpan #s engaged vin the psefut dcCUDaiits. The figures were gathered by two women connected yitli the Qhlcago ^XJitivfifrsfty. They reveal not only a remarkable "invasion" by the gentler sex, of new fields, but an equally renrarkable shifting about, so to speak. The basis of the showing is the tenth census, according to which t lere a\e are 303 occupations. In two hundred and ninety-five of these women appear, and it is pnly in the United States army and navy, jn fire departments and as helpers?unskilled assis tants to roofers, siaters, steam boiler leakers and brass workers that they are not represented. In 1900 more than five million women were earning wages, and for the decade covered the number of the sex engaged in remunerative industry increased faster than the female population. while the rate of increase in respect to employment was greater than the corresponding rate for employment of men. A peculiar habit is that in some of the occupations, more usually associated with woman, man outstripped the erstwhile "domestic i slaves." For example, women milliners increased in ten years ' 20.'5 per cent: nun milliners 310 per cent. Women dressmakers in5rOr5Rf>H 17 ^ onnt wiAt* i ? ? v^iwvu A I 1 VC1 lb, I I IV I I ' dressmakers 150 per cent. Again woman seamstresses increased .04 per cent while men "seams- j tresses" increased 20.8 per cent. ! and it is also found that men have been crowding the women out of the "saloon" business, the laundries, and in a certain measure the mills. Women, however, increased in j all department* of trade and transportation 12J.d to men's27.6 per cent, and distanced the "sterner sex" in all but one if the live large groups classilied in the census. ? As a contemporary says, it is j well known that certain sociolo- 1 gists and writers on political I economy hold the theory that; race suicide, the decreasing marriage rate, the increasing di- j vorcc rate, wife abandonment, the disappearance of the cook and variolic clli.r domestic ilia arc ascribable to the tendency of the modern woman to struggle for | financial independence outside 1 homo However this may be, it is a fact that woman is becoming an ' important factor in the business | world. Voted it Down. At an election held at Lancaster Tuesday to decide whether | the council of that place would i grant to a private corporation a ; franchise for thirty years to fur-! ; nish the city electric lights, the people voted it down by 52 to 8. ! The prevailing idea of the people, j as we understand it, is that they want electric lights, but they want the town to own the paraphernalia and make a contract with the Southern Power Co. for the power and furnish it to the people at as low a cost as possible. It seems that the parties who wanted the franchise were i going to manufacture their power by a steam plant in connection with an oil mill, or at least that i was the idea in mind. - Rock Hill Record. The Editor's Duty. i The editor of to day has to get his nose down to the grindstone and keep it there sixteen hours per day and 365 days in the year, or he falls by the wayside. There I arc men who quit work Saturday night and rest until Monday morning. They lay aside business cares at live or six o'clock every evening and do not resume them until seven or eight the next morning. Not so your editor. He has no elegant leisure. Ho knows no hours, no Sunday, no night. When he goes to a party, or to church, or on an alleged pleasure t* i >. it is all in the line of duty. Yv ithal, your editor man is a cheerful, longsuffering soul. 1 going about doing good in his | humble way. He returns good for evil. He writes long puffs of church sociables, and in return therefor, accepts a chunk of cake that would sink an ironclad. lie notes the arrival of all the babies in his neighborhood and eternally i perjures ins sojI in telling how pretty they are.

RODDEY, President What Arc You Doing to Abolish Child Labor? Everywhere the subject of Child Labor is being discussed. The National Child Labor Committee has started the fires that illuminated the disgraceful conditions found in every nook and corner of this land of prosperity, until now hundreds and thousands of committees, clubs, churches and individuals are eagerly st udying this question. The Woman's Home Companion, month after month, has informed its great army of readers about these things. The discussion is not all one-sided. Men in high places leaders in philanthropy and charity, pillars of the church and high priests in commerce and finance are beginning to discuss the evils of Child Labor. What are you?the reader of this paragraph?doing to support the cause of the children, whose voices will not be heard in high places unless the people speak? In a score of state legislatures, now in session, bills are pending to give the children in the different states some additional protection. Who keeps a lobby, day in and day out, watching these bills? Who appears at hearings, trying to have them defeated or amended in such a way that they fail to regulate any evil or protect anybody? The attorneys gf cotton manufacturers, the paid representatives of the oppressors are there, but who represents you and me in our earnest desires to see justice done to the children? Whv do von not inin the National Child Labor Committee or one of the local Child Labor Committees, and give the support of your name and money to bring to an end these things? It can ho don? Instead of 2.000 members the National Committee ought to have 50,000, and then half the people who feel about these things as you and I feel would not be represented in its membership. It must have 10,000 members before the end of this year. Will you be one of them? We are counting on your help. Begin work today by signing a letter of application for associate membership and sending two dollars, or whatever larger amount you may be able to spare, for this work. Send this to the Secretary of the National Child Labor Commit tee, 105 East 22 I Street. New York City. Tell them where you have read this paragraph and that you stand ready to enlist your friends in this movement. Let us stand by President Roosevelt a .d the National Child Labyr Committee in this fight against selfishness ii. one of its worst forms. A Steamboat on the Catawba. The Catawba river is now being navigated with a dandy little river craft that totes 40 passengers, says the Charlotte News. The news comes to the city from a passenger who was on board on the first trip the boat made last Sunday. She was built and is being run by Mr R. F. Williams, of Mount Holly. She starts at Mountain Island, lands at the port of Mount Holly, and ends the voyage at the haven of Tuckasege. After a rest here she puffs away back to Mountain Tsi 11 d via Mount Holly. The little vessel has not yet been named but she has proven a success. Crowds get aboard of her. She is 44 long by eight feet wide and is moved with a six horse-power gasoline engine, though a ten horse-power marine engine is ordered to make her go faster and carry larger cargoes. As stated 40 is her maximum passenger capacity but she can nut uarry ijunt: ui it iiumutu" Willi her six horse-power engine. It is five miles between the terminal ports of the steamboat and .she makes the run from Mountain Island to Mount Holly in thirty minutes with little less time for the second trip from Mt. Holly to Tuckasege. Mr. Williams expect* to build landing \vharves before long, if his enterprise continues to be a success. He has carefully picked out a channel and his boat can get about in as shallow water as six feet.
