In several towns and cities of the State a crusade has begun against the "toney" gamblers. "While we are not given to boasting, we say with pride that we believe there is less gambling among the better class of people in Bamberg than any town its size in the State. The name of Senator S. G. Maytield has already been mentioned for the position of congressman from this district. We have not consulted him 011 the subject, but it is certain that should he enter the race, the other candidates would have to hustle lively to beat him. We think the legislature did well iu appropriating $100,000 for the common schools of the state and $200,000 for pensions for Confederate soldiers. However, the pension laws should be rigidly car^ ried out, and only those needy and deserving should receive this bouniy. i Wouldn't it be well for the board of health to order a vaccination crusade. In view of the fact that smallpox is prevalent in many parts of the State, we believe this would be a wise precaution. We cannot afford to run the risk of the disease appearing here, and vaccination is the only way to prevent it. The money sent out of town for fire insurance premiums does the town as a whole no good. Why not keep the money at home and spend it here for waterworks, which will benefit every citizen, either directly or indirectly. Surely our people will not suffer this insurance matter to longer be such a drain upon them. Senator McLaurin may have been wrong on some of his votes in congress, but we do not elect members of the legislature to rebuke U. S. senators or congressmen. To put it mildly, Mr. McMaster's resolution was an attempt to have the legislature take cognizance of a matter which is none of its business, as the popular vote of the people has taken the election for U. S. senators out of the hands of legislators. It is our purpose to give the citizens all the information possible on the subject of waterworks, and next week we hope to be able to present some figures, giving probable cost, etc. While our people are in favor of the project, they want to know something about the cost. Of one thing we may be sure: that we will save money by installing a water system. Thousands of dollars goes out of town every year in fire insurance premiums which would be largely reduced if we had good fire protection. Can*t our town have good sidewalks on Main street? It would not cost so much to put down cement pavements it front of all the business houses at least, the city paying a part and property owners the balance. We suggest to our city fathers that they take up the matter with real estate owners and see what arrangements can be made for putting down . good sidewalks. We feel sure that all interested will help the good cause along. We have a few good pavements now, but , they should be extended to the entire business portion of Main street. Fashions for the Spring. The modes for spring are now taking definite shape and The Delineator for the month of March illustrates and describes some decided novelties. It looks as though there might be a return of overskirts as represented by a series of two or three flounces. Eton Jackets in various modern forms of modification are to be very popular this season and there will be a tendency to show l'Aiglon collars as applied to jackets. The ripple back effect on skirts cut in habit fashion is also gaining ground, and the March Delineator contains an article written by prosecuting fertilizer companies said to be in the trust, $2,300. Relic room in Confederate museum at Richmond, $100. The levy for taxes for State purposes was fixed at live mills, the same as last year. $100,000 was appropriated for the common schools of the State, the division to j be made on the basis of enrollment. $200,000 has been appropriated for | pensions for Confederate soldiers. The bill providing salaries of county 'officers was continued until the next session. This bill roiitained the changes ! in the salaries of liambe; g county's ofli; cials which we mentioned l:usi week, j TJie senate passed the substitute child j labor bill offered by Senator MaylLeld. The oid bond question came up in the j senate again, but that Ixuly killed the bill ! which provided for a (Qmmission to adjudicate the claims of the holders. A I ill was introduced appropriating $200,000 annually to the public schools, but was continued until th? next session. The senate passed Mr. Maytield's bill J authorizing the attorney general to mark ?111 CAJK,"! a'llini .tuumuj jiun to produce this effect.

Washington, Feb. 0.?A few days ago Representative Sprague, of Massachusetts, invited his fellow-members of the house committee on the District of Columbia to attend a dinner at his house in honor of the district commissioners. One of the members is Mr. Geo. II. White, of North Carolina. Mr. White is a colored man. The other members of the committee consulted together as to the propriety of dining with a colored man, only one white member being so incautious as to accept the invitation without remembering that Mr. White would also be there. The single member who accepted was Representative Peter Otey, of Virginia, who can hardly be regarded as adverse to drawing the color Hue on all {>ossible occasions. When it began to ook as if Mr. Sprague would have no guests except Mr. Otey, Mr. White, aud the commissioners, the host was appealed to, but he was reluctant to offend 31 r. White, who had already accepted. The matter was at last disposed of yesterday by the withdrawal of all the invitations by Mr. Sprayue. The members of the committee are Joseph W. Babcock of Wisconsin, Sydney E. Muddof Maryland, John J. Jenkins of Wisconsin, Charles F. Sprague .of Massachusetts, David II. Mercer of Nebraska, Geo. H. White of North Carolina, S. W.

This is a good bill, and we hope to see it finally become a law. The senate bill providing for a State board of pardons was killed. Wise- action. The bill providing that graduates tf the Charleston Medical College may practice without being examined by the State medical board has passed the senate.

While the child labor bill was under discussion in the senate last Wednesday night. Senator Maytield delivered the following speech, as published in the Columbia State. It might be well to mention that the bill under discussion was one offered by the senator himself as a compromise or substitute measure for another bill, which was killed. The senate passed Mr. May field's bill: "Mr. Maytield said there are t wo questions to la* considered. Have we as- a State the right to pass such a law as this, and if the State has that right, ought we to do it. The State occupies the position of a oarent to its children, and there is nothing in our constitution that would prohibit such a law as this, so we clearly h ive that right. "He then explained the minority report which had been signed by him. Tiiis report provides for a 10-year age limit instead of 12 years, as Mr. Barnwell provides, and also provides for the law going into effect gradually. He spoke of the need of educating all classes of citizens. The great Roman empire decayed and fell only after the education of its citizens was neglected, and the education of English people has made that empire the greatest on earth. South Carolina, if it would keep its place in the progress of nations, must look after her educational interests. No class of our people most be allowed to grow up in ignorance?and especially must our white children be looked after if we would maintain white supremacy. He quoted the statement of President Cleveland of Whitney mill, that more than 30 per cent, of the spinning room hands in that mill could not read,and the same conditions prevail in other mills. It was this deplorable amount of ignorance that had fully determined him to support the bill. "It is a wrong that cries to heaven for little children to be cooped at hard work in a cotton mill from sunrise to sundown from week's end to week's end, We cannot allow great dividends to be declared on cotton mill stocks if by so doing the standard of our citizenship is lowered. He spoke of going down to the Cougaree bridge and seeing the little children coming over from Brookland to ......I- tiw. ? Ui iv in iijir Vi'iuiiiuia iiiiu^. i uini; children, he said, had nothing to do but obey.the orders of those over them?to obey. Shall we hold our hands from righting this wrong simply because some capitalists urge us not to pass laws on this subject? It is urged to pass this law will stop some of the machinery in the mills, but if this is true, why let the machinery stop. We cannot afford to allow our greed of commercialism to dwarf our young manhood and young womanhood?the children of the coming generation. "He drew a picture of a child working in a cotton mill all night, from nightfall until dawn, and asked the senators if they wanted their children to suffer that. He asked the senators to take the matter home to themselves. Children may have t > work 011 farms, he said, but they do not do such hard or continuous work as mill children. They do not work as many hours in a day, nor as many days in a week, nor as many weeks in a year. They have ample time to go to school. He spoke of how the negro children are going to school, and the efforts they are making to obtain an education, while the white children are being ground down and kept in ignorance. This illiteracy in cotton mill towns is congest el, and for that reason is more dangerous than when scattered throughout thee miltry, and for that reason is legislation needed. We have a duty" to perform. The responsibility rests upon us and we cannot dodge it. Let the senate do its duty and if the house wants to kill the bill the responsibility will be upon them. We have said the songbirds shall In* protected; there is no sweeter music than the laughter of children, and shall we not protect them as well. Let us not put the price of stocks or weather above human life and happiness." Will Boom His Business. S. Laval, a merchant, of Dallas, Tex., writes; "I thought 1 would have to give up business, after two years of suffering from general debility brought on by overwork and long hours, but four bottles of Electric Ilitters gave me new life, I can now cat anything', sleep well and feel like working all tiie time.

Washington, Feb. b.?*ri!<* passage at 1 tin* beginning of to-day's session of tin- j senate of a 1 >i 11 granting a pension of Sob a month to Stacy II. Cogswell, an Indiana volunteer, imiured Mr. Tillman of | South Carolina, to make a forceful com- < inent upon the house in not taking action f upon the hill providing a pension for a ( Mexican war veteran who resided in South Carolina during the civil war and was naturally in sympathy with tin- Confederacy. . . The hill had been passed by the senate. 1 but the house invalid pension committee} t was delaying final action upon it. Mr. < Tillman said that there was such section- ( al animosity in the house committee that 1 tli?? liu-nitwiv rnfiiscil to oermit Motion * 1 I upon the hill. "Is the war over or is it not?" demand- j ed Mr. Tillman, with vehemence. "Let us lind out whether it is or not.

The hour set is midnight Friday, and that will he . the official hour of adjournment, though ; the active time will he about 5 or (?o'cloc k Saturday morning. There are still a 1 great many hills on the calendars of both t houses and most, of them will l>ecome I laws. They are generally purely local t bills or those of no general interest. ( As has been said before, the legisla- | ture's chief characteristic has been what it has not 'one or what it has refused to do rathci . an what it has done, and is 1 much easier to summarize its work nega- 1 tively than otherwise. t As to cotton mill legislation, which I created the greatest interest and most \ debate, there was little done. The child , labor hill failed to pass and it looks as if the hoifie resolution to appoint a commissioner to investigate child labor conditions will not pass, though there is time enough for it to get through the senate. ( As the senate voted for the child labor bill there seems to he a disposition to 1 pass over the commission feature of the question. But an important law as to c cotton mills was passed and that was Senator Henderson's hill to declare cot- ( ton mill stocks real estate for purposes of taxation, aud thus prevent their taxation twice, Wllt'll OWHl'll uuimui* oi uic Mail-. Xo reapportionment bill was passed. ' but that will have to be done at the next session. The proposed sale of the penitentiary farms failed to pass, and so did the bill t to stop the hiring of convicts to private parties and to hire them to counties for , purposes of road improvement. And in j connection with this the broad tire bill was defeated. The annual effort to have a state in- ( suranee inspector elected again failed, as 1 did the effort to have the free pass law abolished. This, however, passed the house by a good majority but was killed in the senate by a vote of one. I The effort to regulate and systematize , the salaries of county otlicers was post- j poned until the next session. Two dispensary measures, one electing dispensers by the people and the other relating to the distribution of profits, I were either killed or postponed until next session. As is jj)innal|y the case all efforts to legislate against the ijspjess and destruc- ' tive "yaller" dog failed, ;pid the sheep a industry in this state must languish until 11 his many champions are dead or left at home. These are some of the chief things the j b legislature hasn't done. Among the few j * matters of importance it has done may | f( be mentioned the exemption of the j tj graduates <?f the South Carolina medical I b college from examinations by the state b board of examiners, and the passage of i ^ the bill relating to the domestication of railroads.
