By the way, our friend Hull |

mode a big improvement in his
paper. The Herald now comes
to us in G-column, eight page
form and is brim full of good
Voiding matter and well set ads.

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

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

interesting news and if this comkp

Th? 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

The Editor's Duty.
i The editor of to day has to get
his nose down to the grindstone

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

therefor, accepts a chunk of cake

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.
