Thursday, February 14, 1901.
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. French and Russian
effects in the garments of children
are becoming more popular.

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. Smith of Michigan, Amos L. Allen

Senator May 11 eld's Speech.
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.,

Tillman Swears in Senate.
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 *

"Is the war over or is it not?" demand- j
ed Mr. Tillman, with vehemence. "Let
us lind out whether it is or not. I swear
by Almighty God, 1 will not let another
pension bill pass the senate until this old
man gets justice."

Why He Cante.
"What I consider one of the funniest
stories I ever heard," said Col. Ilowell C.
Erwin, of the board of water commissioners,
yesterday afternoon, was tohl
me by Judge Andy Calhoun.
"While he was recorder of Atlanta, a \
small negro boy was arrested and brought! j
before him for throwing rocks. s
"'Have vou ever been here before?" '
asked Judge Calhoun. *
"'Who, me?" said the boy. 'No sur.'
" Well, I am going to let you olT this
time,' said Judge Calhoun, 'Now, don't i
you ever come back here again.'
"The boy seized his hat and ran from
the courtroom. About two weeks later a '
very humble little negro boy was brought
before Judge Calhoun. He was charged '
with throwing rocks. 5
'"Ain't you the same boy I turned <
loose for throwing rocks two weeks ago?' <
inquired Judge Calhoun, assuming his
severe air.
" 'Who, me?' said the boy. 'Yes, sir.' *
"'Didn't I tell you never to come back ^
here again?' asked Judge Calhoun. I
"Tears started from the boy's eyes and t
he dug his lists into them. I
"'I neber come,' bewailed, 'dey l'otched
me.' 1
"Judge Calhoun told me," said Colonel (
Erwin in concluding the story, "that he '
let the boy go a second time and he never 1
appeared in police court again."?Atlanta

The Legislature's Work. !
According to the general understand- |
ing, the legislature will adjourn some- (
time early Saturday morning. 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.
The appropriation bill, which yet has
to be acted on by the senate, will proha- '1
bly carry in the ncighUtrliood of sgr.o,- p
odd more than last year. Yet the state si
levy has not been increased and in most f<
of the counties the same levy as last year
remains. The regular expenses and the
extra ones provided for will he raised
without an extra levy by reason of the a
increase in the valuation of property 111 v

NOT IN THE PLAY.
1 Cane Where Two Actors Display?
1'rcscuce of Mind.
A short time ago a great historic:
play was being given in au Italia
theater. The king had to read h
speech from the throne. He was sti
rounded by the court, all the repn
sentative nobles of the nation, the go<
irnors of the provinces and the heac
)f the army.
Clad In his magnificent robes (lLnp
with rabbit skin) he stalked majestii
illy across the stage, and. with iittin
jauteur. slowly ascended the stej:
ending to the throne. Every on*' bowe
ow. and the chancellor handed to h
najesty the parchment roll from wbic
:o read the royal speech.
All waited attentively to catch tt
words from the royal lips, but his ma
?sty found, to his chagrin, that tt
oil was blank. The speech was Ion
md bad uot l>een committed to men
>ry.
It was impossible to get through
with the aid of the prompter, for t
was too far away to render the nce<
ful service. A bright thought passe
:hrough the royal brain.
Having glanced over the roll as if t
rather the gist of the speech, he agai
lUiUfti it ami uanuv-u n uum iu u.
,'hnncellor with the command:
"You read it."
The chancellor was somewhat pi
>ut. but dutifully took the roll ar
jpened it. only to discover the royi
Peasantry, whereupon., again rollui
lie parchment up and taking from h
Divast the resplendent tin order,. 1
aid them together at the king's fee
ivith:
"Your majesty, as 1 cannot read tl
speech. I tender my resignation," an
cvalked off the stage.
He MiNNed Her.
A speech which had a pathetic f
veil as an amusing side is said to ha\
>eon made by an old New Hampshii
nan on the occasion of his second we<
ling.
"Neighbors." he said to those wt
iad witnessed the simple eeremon
'you all know that this good frier
:hnt's consented to marry me is som
:hing of a stranger in our town. Nov
1 feel kind of insufficient. t>efng only
nan, to make her acquainted with e

afternoon about f> o'clock. It seems that
)j < >iliccr Bozard was called to quell a dis,e
tnrbance between Samuels and his wife
at their home on Pithan Alley next to
" the colored Methodist Church, Samuels
n was drinking, and when he snv the
policemen he became very boisterous and
d threatening. Instead of quieting down
i3 as he was told to do by the ollieer he
r, started towards him with an open knife
a in his hand. The ofiiecr tohl liitn to
<ron hut Samuels eimtinued to advance.
1 Then Bozard drew his pistol ami shot
a* Samuels in the right breast. Samue s
t3 turned as if to go in the house when the
e officer shot him again, hitting him this
le time in the back, the ball penetrating
y the heart. The officer then retreated out
[e of the yard, and as he reached the sidewalk
hi- shot at Samuels the third time,
.g who by this time had fallen from the
effects of the two previous shots. The
0 third shot did not take effect and may
r" have been tired aeeidentlly. The knife
3- was still clasped in Samuel's hand after
it he was dead. Mr. Bozard immediately
