of u little ovor 82,000 >1. tho^oojU^
missions about which thoro in so in u oil
talk. Pr. Hates' statement is ?? '<?!*
lows:
?'Von, it in true that 1 received front
tho syndicate tha sum of $2,031. 2o,
This was for noting as their repres
entative in makiug settlements with
their subscribers, collecting ami re
mitting their premiums nud ajitondiig
to their expenso account. /
"For instance, thoro were' subHcri
borH in Charleston for $2,000,000 of
the new issue which tho (tyudicate had
eontracteil to deliver in Charleston.
Thane wero to bo paid for mostly ill j
I Brown consols, but tho holders of tho
consols naturally would require tho
syndicate to deliver to them the new
tssuo of bonds before they would part
with tho possession of their consols.
"Two courses wore thoroforo open to
the Hyndicnte. One was to pay tho
State Treasurer $2,000,000 in cash, ro
ceivothenow bonds, and then exchange
them with tho Charleston subscribers.
Tho other was to secure some repre
sentative hero in Columbia whom the
Charleston bondholders wero willing
to eutruHt with their bonds and ex
change them for bonds of tho new is
sue. I suggested to tho syndicate tho
employment of a Columbia banker as
their representative, but they preferred
that I should do the work, aud at tho
urgont request of tho Haltimoro .Lrust
and Guarantee company, the agent of
the syndicate, on or about the 21st of
March, 1893, I consented to net for
them, aH tho bondholders in Charles
ton and elsewhere wero willing toplaco
their bonds in my hands lot exchange.
"Tho public 'will understand that
thoro is a vast dit^'orenco betwoen:
First, my accepting the money
as a consideratiou for making a con
tract for the sale of State bonds; and
secondly, my accepting compensa
tion tendered by tho syndicate for
extra services as their representative
long after tho contract had been made.
Tho first would have been offered, of
course, and accepted prior to the con
tract, and would liavo deserved sevoro
criticism. The second was tendered long
after tho contract had boon made, and
was for extra services that T could not
have been expected or required to ren
der as State treasurer. Tho work ne
cessitated tho keeping of a spocial, dif
ficult and extensive account, and in
volved much responsibility and trouble.
A good portion of the amount received
went to pay for extra and special cleri
cal work.
"I am sure a reasonable public will
agree that the work I did was unofficial,
and did not conflict with my duties as
State treasurer. Nor will I bo oxpeotod
to render responsible aud valuable ser
vices for a syndicate of wealthy capi
talists without Boino reasonable com
pensation, especially as the compensa
tion was not paid bv tho State. Out
side of tho $2,031.25 I did not reccivo
one cent from tho syndicate or any one
elso on account of my connection with
the refunding of tho bonds.

( 'olumbia, S. ( ^
Dear Sir: I understand that sonlW
question linn arisen as to (lie propriety
of your having accepted compensation
from tlio syndicate which purchased
South Carolina bonds in I8SM, and wo
think it no more than fair^o state that
under the rigorous terms imposed by
your then governor, the lion. Heuj. It.
Till man, it would have been exceed
ingly difficult for a syndicate to have
carried out the termsof purchase with
out the constant presonce, in (Columbia,
of some competent ami trustworthy
person charged with the duiy of per
forming the varioua acta of necessary
clerical labor which were inecssantly
required. It was not convenient for
this company, as the agent of the syn
dicate, 1o have such a representative
continually on the spot, and you wero
asked su to act, and the compensa
tion paid yon was only fair, and
said payment camo from the
syndicate alone, and in no wise,
even remotely, affected tho interests
of your State nor the interests of tho
most insignificant of your taxpayers.
The payment for your services was
made upon the volition and by tho
sanction of the executive committee of
the syndicate. It waa entirely proper,
arid the engagement of yourself in J
such capacity really proved to bo a j
safeguard to your people, because in
the execution of the clerical duties
which the syndicate required you in
variably manifested an unutterable
zeal for tho protection of the interests
of your State, and in the exerciso of
this quality, we think, yon often im
posed upon the syndicate conditions
which would have been quite unneces
sary in the conduct of any matters
pertaining to privato business.
These conditions, however, woro
acceptcd in a cordial spirit be
cause we thought wo recognized in
you an officer whose crowning ambi
tion appeared to bo directed only in
the channel of exercising every scru
ple of ptudence in tho conservation of
tho duties involved by bis official ca
pacity.
Youfre respectfully,
RoBBwr C. Davidson,
President.

PisouKsion of human righta lia? beon
u prolific tliomo; but iutliction of |
huuiuu wrongs has boon an almost uni
versal practice in tho world's his
tory.
'/bo Declaration of Independence
holds hh self ovident truths that all
men aro oreatod equal-- not physically
or mentally, of course, but in regard
to naturul rights? and that they nro
endowed by the Creator with
ablo rights, among which are lifo, lib
erty and tho purimit of happiness.
11 lui>ks to no avors in his commenta
ries that in a state of of nature every
ouo has tho right to judge in his own
case, and tho right also to onforce his
decision. .Hut lack of powor by the in
dividual to enforce his dcoision, led to
the formation of tho social compaot,
in which the individual surrendorod to
"tho body politic" tho n^ht to judge
for him. inasmuch as through hi# ina
bility to enforce it? decisiou ho might
secuTO tho ou joy incut of his rights.
This investure of society with high
ly important rights also imposed [upon
i it equally imjmrtuut duties. Ono ol
I thofco auprcmc rights with which socie
ty in invested, i ? the riglit to demand
of every indvidual mombor that he
shall, to the utmost of his ability, cou
tribute to tho promotion of tho com
mon good, .
Another is tho light to demand of
every member that ho shall contribute
in ovory manlier in his power to the
promotion of good citizenship.
A third is tho right to euforoo the
other two demands by ovory judicious
and judicial means at its command.
Ah to the duties of society. If it has
tho right to demand Uio promotion of
the eommou good; and also tho pro
motion of citizenship, it follows that
o:.a of its most important duties is to
>1.1(100 within tho reach of every one
lh? aids necessary to t ho satisfaction or
these demands. Inseparable from the
performance of this duty is tho pro
tection of the mentally and phymoally
weaker from oppression by tho stron
ger. . tlV??i 4
An important question is What
hearing these rights and duties named
should have ou the sochd conditions
id ready operatives to a oonBidoroblo
extent among us, increasing operation
of which is foreshadowed in coming
events hopefully anticipated by our
people as soon to occur?" ^
That portion of tbo "body politic
embraced within our Ktiite boundaries
should soo to it that no individual,
combination or corporation shall placo
uny impediment in the pathway of any
present or prospective mcnibor of
society, the tendency of which is to
hinder his progress towards tho goal of
good citizenship.
A self-evident proposition is what
ever tends to woakou or dwarf the
physical system or tho mental power is
n hindrance to tho child's progress m
the race for tho attainment of good
eiti/.euHhip. ...in
I think it ii sound proposition that ho
w ho most nearly approximates tho per
formance of every duty ho owes to
society is the best, because tho most
useful or profitable momber of socioty.
This bciug ho it follows inevitably that
he who is best equipped, physically,
mentally and morally for the perform
ance of all these duties can best exem
plify all the qualities of good citijsen
ship. This being so necessitates the
concluoion that society forbid that ob
structions or hindrances bo placed iu
the path of childhood, tho inevitable
result of which is tho prevention of
those thus handicapped of tho attain
ment of the qualifications essential to
the enactment of tho role of good citi
zouauin. /
If tin bo stafemdhtH an to duties ol
Hociety bo sound, then my conclusion
i? that eocirty is in duty bound to for
bid tho initiation of any course of ac
tion, ^tho inevitable tondcnoy of which
ih to tho prorogation of ovil. That
which in wrong in tendency in wrong in
l?rincip)e, and hence eauuot bo right
fully reduced to practice by individu
als lior by communities.
That the employment of children in
factories, especially for long hours, ik
deleterious to them, and lionce to the;
public good, has been made too plain
by investigation to admit of doubt in
the mimln of anyone who ban tnkon any
trouble to inform himself, or who bah
had any observation rclntivo to its ef
fects. Having no room for extenbive
array of statistics, I will just givo the
result of one examination of children
thiiH employed. The examinntion was
oflicially mado by a committee ap
pointed for that especial purpose. Of
1 children employed in one estab
lishment, only 7 2 were found suffi
ciently normal to bo allowed to con
tinuo work. Health certificates were
refused to Ml ? 2<> per cent, of the
number employed^ Of that .14 there
wero 11 with spinal nurvatnre, 12 with
heart murmur, 6 with lung trouble, '24
with enlarged glands, '25 with defective
sight, <? with defective hearing, and 2f>
with defective teeth. Taking no ao
count of defective teeth, wo fiqd that
I'J of the 3-1 had each thrco diseases,
while tho other 15 had two each.
Should a physician in a hospital for
children administer medieinea to the
inmates proditciug such results what
should be dope with him? What
courno should bo pursued with emyloy
ecs of child labor, who will work them
uador conditions known to produce
such results as are given here? Wonld
itnot boamildoonrssof procedure and
eminently just to the children to say
to such eip^loyers, You mast stop
tUfst^~
y The evils of this system have beoome
io notorious in tho mai^nfaotnripg
States of the^forth that they have, many
of them, enacted stringent laws against
it; Massachusetts, hithorto the greatest
manufacturing State, so far as textile
fabric# _?ro .concerned, have gonc?.l.
believe, further thsu his any other
Htate on that line.
Many manufacturers wonld cheer*
fully acquiesce in such a law, bat til)
A
a pobitiro proJiibUiooizeuacted against
employing chili) run under certain ageo
in any manufacturing establishments,
competition being., so sharp 04 it is,
lho unscrupulous competitor would
havo a decided advantage over tho
moro humane man; uud this fact com
pels tho humane man to employ tbo
children, or else oompoto with his un
scrupulous rival at a disadvantage.
Fico tbo muuufucturcr from ta.xn
tiou for a series of yearn, if you will,
albeit tlu'ir proftfoiu tho South roudet*
them Abler to j>ay taxes tban are tbo
farmer#, but havo tbo oliilflron from
the cupidity of lounging, loafing, lazy
meu, who claim to bo parents without
an j tint claim to that suered appellation,
and save them to society and State.
I know parentfi who nro industrious
uud work bard themselves,
who put their children in fac
tories to work. This in all
well onougb after a certain Age, but
not iu moro childhood. Many of tho
bo*t and moat thoughtful meu aud
women, who have made a careful study
of tho situation, now claim that the
child should be taken while quite
young into tko kindergurteu depart
ment, and it^*powers drAwn out there
till old enough to go to a higher de
partment. Of oue thing 1 feel quite
sure aud that is that tho State should
provide atoj^lo opportunities for overy
child in its borders to obtain a fair
English education, placing a good
moral training^uot a sectarian one?
at tho very foundation of tho educa
tional fabric, and thorn compel tbo
paronts to acoept and utilizo tho pro
visions.
Tho State lias a light to claim a
good citizenship, both in its own pros
out interests and tbo interests of fu
turo generations. It is poor states
manship to build with an eyo only to
tho present omorgonoy, ignoring the
future. I know many thoughtless
porsons say, "Tako care of tho present
and lot tho futuro provide for itself."
Where would wo be now had tho meu
of 1770 acted upon that foolish sug
gestion ?
Will anybody say, "Wo shall ficare
ofl' Northorn capital if wo undertake to
protect tho children?" Stop and think
a infinite. Do you remember that on
ly the other dny one youth of 20 and
another of 18 years wero arraigned iu
Waltham, Massachusetts, , for incen
diarism, and ploaded guilty to tho
charge of kindling various fires, which
wo owro told bad consumed one and
one-half million dollars worth of prop
erty "just to seo tbo blaze"?
l)o ydu think Northorn capitalists
will stay away from tho South becanso
we assure thorn that we intend to twwn
our boys to better behavior than that
by putting them in school as soon as
they aro old onougb, aud keeping them
thcro till they oro fixed iu better hab
its? k
But to cIobo, with ouo other idea
about preserving the littlo ones from
tho cruel bondage of tho factory slave.
You enact luws for tho protection of
horses and oxen from tho cruelty of
ownors, and therein you do well. Is
not a child of moro valuo than a horse
or on ox? If so, why not protect
them?" Tako heed that yo despise not
one of thoso littlo ouos; for, I say uuto
you that in heavon their augels do al
