* V • jr.t vfcdfjfl )R BILL ♦ f ^ally !Mi<nmtd in the Hou»e of A«* prnentatiVM. ind Paafed. SXYSRAL GOOD SPEECHES MADE. Th«* -Bill . Oom to ItN Third lloadiiK by h Vote ol' Forty-t h ret* to KllUy'iiJiie. The child laltor bill were the special order In the House for Wednes* 'day. fUe bill that had passed the Senate was taken up. Mr. Bdmar moved to strike out the enaction words, and then addressed the house on this motion. South Carolina leads the south In cotton manufacturing and Spartanbunr leads the State. In that county alone this bill is of importance to 2f>,000 people. The Issue was a vital one in the cam paign last summer and the former representatives who favored it were left at home. Four-fifths of those in ' favor of this bill are from counties which arc not deeply Interested In manufacture. Sostlmcnt has been stirred up by honorable but misguided people and also il>y outsiders for rea sons not quite so honorable. He want on to say the bill'was not wanted by the operatives or the .mills. Mr. Bo- mar made a long-speech, holding the floor over oneTtouc a m^nly sr favor of the bill into line hy-htbor unions, but favored the bill from a sense of duty. The children in the cotton mills should have an opportunity to fit themselves* for citizenship. These children need something In their behalf. There are numbers of men who force their chi 1- •hoold have fro^tir ouldrom and luushlde— IUQ8I that they should romp and play In the open air—will physiclana dr others gainsay this? It sounds trivial to to state It. . Accumulation of wqgiltjh through our great manufacturing ib*- dustrles isa great desideratum—but a greater 'desideratum Is the building up of a robust womanhood and man hood in this State. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, let us carry out thws^lrltof the resolution pas;*ed by the Democra tic convention in May ahd place this law on otjr statute books. A : KLOqUBNT YOU NO Hl'KAKKIt. The- last speaker Wednesday 'KtS. Mr. Blackwood of Spartanburg, mi<> opposed the bill. This would be a step Of legislation downwards. It Is dangerous. Not that it affects capital, not that it affects the little children But It Is a question that strikes at South Carolina as a State. We are loUdhlng the freedom of heart, the freedom of mind, the freedom of soul. It Is going to the hearthstone of these people who are now happy and pros- TjeroHs. It is going int<) the homes of thesie people whose condition legisla tion cannot hope to mend. These, people are now in better condition than ever before. They have good clothes, they have plenty to eat, they have furniture in their 'houses and pictures on the walls, they haVfe the opportunTty to • fcdriVerse with Intellb road, gent people and the advantages of Samu 1 schools and churches. advantages, of The bill ex cepts so many classes of people that it would apply tofeut 20 per cent, of the mill people any way, then why should It be made,a law. Mr. Blackwood spoke with much eloquence and feel ing of the conditions In the mill com munities of Spartanburg. When he had concluded, the house agreed to Mr. Towlll, of Lexington, ^spokein postpone further consideration until He was not whlppeffrXhursday night at eight o’clock, when dren to work from early morn until after dark, while they themselves spend their time tn debauchery. It Is not a sickly sentiment which makes people favor this bill, it isa noble sen timent. The philanthropic gentlemen mentioned by Mr. Botnar gave to colleges and the beneficiaries were not cotton mill children. Fathers and mothers are responsible for their chil dren, bat it Isa duty incumbent upon the State to look after the moral wel fare of the children. Mr. Towlll did not speak long, but presented a very manly plea for the bill. He is proud of the progress of South Carolina and would do nothing to Interfere with material advancement, but he felt r called upon to speak for the uplifting of the citizenship of South Carolina. ANOTHER GOOD 8PUCH. Col. 1). (). Herl>ert, of Orangeburg, favored the bill and spoke in reply to Mr. Bomar. The bill Is not drastic, it is not oppressive.: It is mild in tone and yet’will till a long-needed want.. South Qarollna has not always been such a manufacturing State, and her progress is a matlr of pride. • In reply to Mr. Bomar he said that perhaps some of the people wlm are interested don’t want this legislation any more than some of the people don't want the bill to stop treating on election days. In the language of Mr. Story, “the people of the Foiled States must be protected''from the people of the United States/’ This question not only affects the^ mill owners and the mill operatives, but It affects society and society must protect itself. He was m to heitf that Spartanburg county wastdedpK well. Spartanburg might Trot need this legislation, but would not He in jured by it. So far as he,knows theie had been no objection made to this bill In the committee epom, wheaeas in years past mill men had come hefe and the journals bad been filled with petitions against the bill. On no ac count would, he injure the mills, but if these jntll men thought this would hurt them they would be here light ing it. This bill lias two worthy ob jects to force the children from the mills and to get them into the schools. The children will .govern the affairs of this State when we are; gone. Cyl* Herbe.ft declared that the very fitet that some of the mill presidents make this rule excluding children under 12, shows that the rule is sasisfactory. If the other mills will not make tills rule, why should not thc iStatc make it for them. The rar&t progressive nations of the' world have enacted laws on this subject, then why should “not South Carolina? There is a gener al demand all over South Carolina for just such a law as Uus. 11c then quoted from the mesS^es of Gover nors McSweeney and Heyward. Cql. Herliert went on to say that State Democratic convention had passed resolutions recording its appro val of this bill. The people of the entire State are intcrested. -The agri cultural people are as much so as the factory people. The legislature must look to the good of the people and its in duty bound to legislate for them. IT 18 NOT AN KXI’KRIMENT. .• ..... Vw . '/ The next speaker to defend the bill was Mf. Lewis W. Haskell of Colum- bla. He-declared that the pending question had been thoroughly thresh ed over, yet it Is of paramount Impor tance and he wanted to oall attention to some reasons why It should pass. In the first place, this matter of en acting child labor legislation is not empirical or tentative— we are not ex-, perimentlngV we are acting in the light of the best experience of most of the manufacturing State -and in line with the most enlightened foreign countries. “1, therefore submit,” be said, “that we do not approach the issue in the attitude of exploiters — but that we simply meet a condition in our State that has arisen by virtue of our development as a manufactur ing State. We have abundant evidence of the efllcacy of child labor laws In the northern, middle aud southern States--we have precedents for enact- Ing this law ^entitled tiFthe tiighest consideration—we are not seeking a the'argqnient was resumed.

At 10.15 Mr. Uankin moved to adjourn as there were several gentlemen to and a votg~'Could hardly her speak and a vote readied at that session. Those who spoke in favor of the bill Thursday night were Messrs. Carey of Charles ton, Barron of Hock Hilk McMaster of Columbia, and Mr. Gaston of Ches ter.

Mr. Kiffg replied: ‘Yes, 1 will pay you for keeping my dug and will pay in lead and 1 will give it to you now.’ He then drew a pistol and tired at Mr. K( igcrs.

Had there been more cartridges In pie gun he would have wiped out the entire fami ly, as he had stated, for there were only three—father, wife and son.” — The Rogers family lived several hundred yards from Alonzo Hewitt in a log cabin with one room. Th^v were poor people but bard working and hon est. Tlie story as told by Mrs. Rog ers is practically the same as told by Mrs. Hewitt.
