No assessments on candidates for congress were levied by Bamberg's couuty I executive committee, these gentlemen j paying their assessment to the State executive committee. Now it appears that oir county tickets must contain the names of candidates for congress, there*? ...^ v.ir.i- thp prmntv committee lUrC ?C tuiun. tuv j should lev}' au assessment. It is wrong for the State committee to get the mouey and the various counties be forced to furnish congressional tickets. The race for State Senator from Charleston county promises to be interesting, as ' two candidates have announced them/> selves to oppose Von Kolnitz. One is Mr. J. P. Grace, private secretary to Congressman Wm. Elliott, and the other is Mr. F. H. McMaster, business manager :; of the Charleston Evening Post. Both of these candidates will fight Mr. Von Kolnitz on his Republican tendencies and he will retaliate by saying that they are opposing him at Senator Tillman's dictation. We hope to see a good Demo& crat nominated. We publish in another column an arti; cle from Mr. S. S. Pearlstine, of Branch| ville, on the child labor question, which (is well written in many respects. However, he makes assertions which we think rather overdraws the actual conditions in this State. But we do not intend to argue the question. The fact that we give prominence to the article does not mean that we have at all changed in our opposition to interference in this matfer by the legislature. We simply want our readers to see arguments on both sides, and this question has already been discussed by us in these columns. Shatters All Reeords. Twice in hospital, F. A.

The game last Wednesday between Bamberg and Colston was a comedy of ^ errors. The score is sufficient to show what the game was. The trouble with the game was that Colston could not v make it sufficiently interesting for the Bamberg team. \\ alker, who was imported here by Colston as Appleton's crack twirler, was kept in the air from start to finish. Bamberg played very considering the opponents which they had. The score was twenty-four to three in Bamberg's favor. Let this be : enough said about this game. "OUT OX THE LAWS."

Shall the Crime of Child Labor be Contiuued I [by sol. s. pe.xulstine.] In our remarks concerning child labor we shall routine ourselves almost exclusively to a discussion of the conditions as they exist in the State of South C'aro lina, this being a typical State for two reasons, viz: (1) South Carolina is second to Massachusetts alone in cotton manufacture and employs a larger proportion of children than any other cotton State; (2) A bill to prohibit child labor was defeated by a very small majority in the last legislature. The whole world looks on in amazement at the mighty strides this little State has achieved within the past ten years. Twenty-five years ago South ; Carolina had eighteen cotton mills and ! 95,580 spindles; in 1901 she had one hundred and thirty-six mills and 2,249,709 spindles with a" capital of over $35,000, 000. With admirable prtde we boast of these astonishing figures, but the heart of every true Caroliuiau must blush w ith shame when he recalls the fact that twenty-five per cent or about twelve thousand of the operatives are children under fourteen years of age, who toil for sixty-six hours a week. A farmer would not dare work a beast that many hours a week. The thousands who derive their sustenance from the cotton factories are children of the soil. They are a sturdy agricultural people who are being rapidly converted into a manufacturing one. Most of the laborers in these mills come from the fields of the middle country and the foot hills of the Blue Kidge. We quote the following from the Industrial Art Edition of the Columbia (S. C.) State: "The operatives in South Carolina cotton mills are the common people, the bone and sinew who have left the fields to the negroes. They are industrious, intelligent, frugal, and have the native instincts of honesty, integrity, and fidelity which are essential to good citizenship. There, are tens of thousands more awaiting the golden opportunity. Labor organizations have cut no figure here. I The people are satisfied with a good thing ana want no disturbance of the amicable relations between capital and themselves." This is truly a remarkable statement, but we question seriously the expediency of commending these facts when they are taken into consideration. These thousands of "industrious, intelligent, frugal" people who have the native instincts of "honesty, integrity, and fidelity" are taken yearly from the farms to be suddenly converted into manufacturing operatives and possibly most of them to be reduced to the conditions of industrial serfdom, unless the State intervenes to prevent selfish mill owners from squeezing the very life from these children of tender age. Let us examine closely the bill as it was presented in the last legislature of South Carolina. It provides that for one year after its enactment no child under ten years of age shall work in a cotton factory; after the first year of the act, the age limit shall be eleven years, and after the second year the age limit shall be twelve years. Does this seem to be an unjust request? England began her fight against this giant evil a hundred years ago, and after grappling with it for a half century, finally won a complete victory. France, Germany, Austria and Russia met the same painful problem and after conflicts which lasted for shorter or longer periods, solved the question successfully as England had done, by entirely removing children of tender age from the factories. New Englaud went through the same industrial development and the result is that the hours and conditions of labor for all children under fourteen years are restricted. Therefore by passing this law we would not be establishing a precedent, for thirty-one States of the Union already have child-labor laws. Nor would it be an unjust measure, for after tlie second year 01 lue aci iue age limit will be ouly twelve years, whereas most of the other States have a fourteen year limit. No manufacturer will dare deny that it is detrimental to the health as well as the education of children under fourteen years of age to labor in these confined factories at untimely hours, yet they persist in opposing all legislation restricting child labor. They say they are not opposed to the bill itself but are opposed to the legislature entering into such legislation. They declare that they do not waut child labor, yet many of them employ children from six to eight years of age. During the secent discussion of this measure in the State legislature, the few operatives who were able to champion their own cause were accused by the mill presidents of belonging to labor organizations and of being urged by New England owners of mills to have this law passed. This is rather a vague charge and on the w hole a flimsy argument. We can see nothing in it except that it was done to prejudice legislators against voting for the bill. If it can be proved that they were members of labor organizations, we cannot deny them the right to combine, as capital has combined, and to demand justice in a legal way. As to the influence of New England millionaires in favoring this measure, let us not overlook a much more important fact, namely, that New England capitalists are the direct and aggressive opponents of all bills proposed by the several legislatures in the South for the restriction of child labor in the cotton mills. This is clearly evident from the fact that a committee of the leading citizens of Alabama, headed by ex-Governor Thomas Goode Jones (who has been appointed United States District Judge by Presidnt Roosevelt) and the Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy, of St. John's Episcopal Church, Montgomery, issued a touching appeal to the sympathy and conscience of New Englanders, who are mainly instrumental iu opposing all laws for freeing the helpless and hopeless children from this close and unwholesome confinement in the factories. This committee thus appealed to Northern owners of Alabama mills: "That one or two of these [Northern-owned] mills should be provided with library, natatorium, gymnasium and other incidents of X spectacular philanthropy, may not obscure the fact that they are supporting a system uuder which hundreds of our little children are denied the most elementary opportunities for health and happiuess; a system representing the conditions of compulsory ignorance; a system which destroys the efficiency of our future operatives by sapping the vitalities of youth. We believe that Massachusetts, having defended her own children from a cruel aud unnecessary industrial system, will question the heartless policy with which her capital is striviug to perpetuate the defeuselessness of the children of the Soyth. This capital is doing here what it dare not do at home." This is a great element to be reckoned with in every effective opposition to the bill. If every philanthropic inclined citizen of the North would take up this appeal, and parade it before these selfish aud cruel hearted capitalists, this evil would so haunt them, that it would be obliterated from the length and breadth of Oiu la ml If the immense material progress which has been made in the lust half of the nineteenth century is to be for the uplifting and not the degradation of civilized society, if this progress is to be compared in importance with the overthrow of fendalism through the invention of gunpowder and the printing press; with the emancipation of thought through the renaissance and reformation; with the overthrow of the cruel forms of manual labor, through the invention of the steam-eugine and the discovery of electricity, then it is well for our legislators who have the key to the situation in their own hands to face this partial resistance with determination and at the next session of the legislature to carry this important bill by an overwhelming majority. Mankind in recent years, owing to the new economic conditions, has become a vastly more complicated organism than ever before. In fact, so complicated that, in order to make it work smoothly, it is necessary to remove all obstructions that hinder its workings. This seeins to be the only course to take if we wish to attain that grand ideal which has been so aptly described by the great economist I). A. Wells: "When human poverty will mean more distinctly than ever physical disability, mental incapacity, or uupardonable viciousness or laziness." By refusing to redress these simple wrongs we \vill be reduced to a condition also described by the able economist: "Whereby labor is rendered unproductive and discontented, want increased, comfort lessened, social inequalities multiplied, the comity of nations discouraged, and the idea of the brotherhood of man, which constitutes the foundation of every system worthy of being called 'religions,' denied and repudiated." The laws of South Carolina are particularly favorable to the cotton industry. There is scarcely a community which will not contribute liberally of its own capital for the building of cotton mills and exempt them from municipal taxation for a term of years. Most of these factories are run on ah economical basis and are able to declare large dividends annually. If the Northern manufacturers whose only advantage over the Southern is experience and skilled labor, can afford to restrict child labor, much more so can our Southern manufacturers to whom cheaper labor and cheaper raw materials give even greater advantages. The opponents of the bill made a strong appeal for the independence of the parents - ' " rrU^.. ,, y* rr or tnese iactory operative*, iucj mgc .that: "Such a bill could do no good other tli&u humiliate a proud people and do iujury to a great interest." We are not advocates of the paternal theory of gov| eminent when we assert that these helpless children ought to be protected by the State. We believe that the parents who are able, are doing their utmost for the general education and moral uplifting of their children. Yet it is to be regretted, that there are parents who spend their lives in idleness, living upon the wages of their children, while vice in its more hideous forms has infected their homes. Disorder and tilth have already found their way into mauy of these new homes, and it is the duty of the State to rescue the child from these contaminating surroundings. The State should interfere as little as possible with the liberty of the individual in pursuing his domestic happiness and in working out his own destiny, but when the parents are helpless from economic, moral or any other reasons, and when their children are neglected and educated iu vice, the State may rightfully intervene. The State derives its right from its duty to protect itself and to protect all its people. We must remember that these miserable little children will be voters ten or fifteen years hence and as such their votes will be as powerful as those of their intelligent neighbors. They are a sovereign people under a democratic government and are entitled at any time to perform public duties. Furthermore they can be called upon to sit on a jury to decide upon the life and death of their fellowman. Therefore it is highly necessary that they should possess at least some degree of intelligence, should know right from wrong, and be rescued from evil influences. Never before in the history of the South has there been a grander opportunity for concentrated action in the right direction. Never before has there been a time w hen by one stroke a great mass of the population can be lifted into the higher forms of civilization. Even a superficial observation will convince anyone of the great contrast in the moral, physical, and intellectual life of these miserable, gloomy, and despondent factory laborers with the aggressive, hopeful, and brawny-armed workmec in other fields of labor. What an appreciable difference is there even to be seen rl/-? m\t qq vpt wpar that in m must n v.w j -- delible factory stamp, owing to their having been lately drawn from the fields where they have had for generations the advantage of heathful climate, happy homes, and nutritious food. What a difference when we observe the better homes, the brighter faces, the thrifty and contented families, the more intelligent and efficient labor, the excellent physical and moral strength, the greater cfcieerfulaess and hopefulness among the laborers who are restrained from this unwholesome work in their childhood. Let us hope that through the steady working of economic laws, these child ren, under continually increasing industrial and social freedom, will, as it is said of the working masses of Great Britain: uIn place of being a dependent class, without future and without hope, haye come into a position from which they may reasonably expect to advance to any degree of comfort and civilization." One can observe much difference in the management of the different mills in the same State. Many mill officials from a benevolent spirit and of their own accord refuse to employ children under a certain age. They try in every way tc develop the moral, mental, and physical abilities of their laborers and with this ideal in view have established schools and churches for the benefit of the operatives. Yet these, sad to relate, are in the minority, and the vast majority of mills are owned by selfish men who employ cheap labor. They do not hesitate to hire the smallest children offered to them by ignorant parents who are allured tc this brutal act by the small salary which they receive each week, this being one ol the luxuries they did not enjoy as a strictly agricultural people. Thus these dejected little children, who are daily shut iu by walls from the light and fresh air, are sent out crippled and distorted to fight the battles of life. With few exceptions this is the first generation in the mills, yet it is enough to make one shuddei when one sees these hopeless little children being rendered physical wrecks. With these facts before us, shall we be indifferent to this great measure for reform? Shall we continue to allow this terrible evil to degrade our fellow citizens in order to enrich a few selfish capitalists'/ Shall we allow these inhuman manufacturers to continue to sap the s:urdy . r Siruuglll Ul IUCSC IUUII9U1UU3 auu luvuligent operatives and thereby rendei them physical wrecks? Or shall we demaud of our legislators that they pass this law and crush this evil in its infancy? It cannot be denied that the legislature has not only a moral and legal right tc pass this important bill, but it; is a solemn duty which the members owe to their State, to their fellow citizens, and to posterity. With these remarks we leave it to our intelligent people, who we believe will agitate and decide this question by au overwhelming majority. <D This signature is ou every box of the genuine Laxative Bromo*Quinioe Tablets the remedy that cam a cold la eae day Johnny?I 'spect if I wasn't here, Mr. Spoouamore, you'd kiss Bella, wouldn't you!

No Need [ of Having Dyspepsia. " Most physicians, especially in the 1 northern United States, say that fried j food is responsible for most of the dyspepsia, especially in the south, where frying is most prevalent. > This is no doubt true, In a broad and average way, but It Is not necessary that it should be true. Too much grease > of any kind, and in any way, is certainly bad for the dfigestion; but the conclusion must not be too hastily reached that fried food is necessarily greasy. Grease for cooking should be 9 looked upon merely as as a medium for l communicating a high degree of heat. It is not usually possible to cook things in water to a higher temperature than ? 212 degrees, and hence In many cases It is necessary to cook meats, etc., a long while at thl3 temperature to get r them done. But it is easily possible to 1 cook things equally well done in grease t in a much shorter time, on account of the higher temperature that may be reached?sometimes 300 to 400 degrees. The true way to cook in grease is to get It very hot before Introducing the * meat or other article. When It is y dropped in the hl&her degree of heat < immediately chars the outer surface 9 and closes the pores, so that the grease ^ cannot get inside. It Is important to j keep the heat up, and not to put the articles into the grease so fast as to e lower the temperature. When done, e they should be Immediately removed i and laid on a cloth to absorb the adh hering grease. Many cooks take a j frying pan off the fire with the eggs f or meat in it, all cooked, and leave it , so until served. This is the next best l way to let the grease soak through to Q the centre. The very best way to soak * the grease in, and the very best way i to promote dyspepsia Is to put the arg tides in the frying pan to cook when the grease is noi noi: euougu. Prying: is generally a most wasteful manner of cooking, for the reason that so much of the grease is thrown away e after the article is cooked. This is gen? erally unnecessary. If the frying has been properly done, the grease has not ? taken up much from the article cooked. The grease may be poured from the 9 frying pan into a vessel of hot water, when most of the foreign matter will e settle and the pure grease will float, after somewhat washing itself in the e water. It may then be used again and again with the best results. There is naturally a smell from any * frying grease. In Europe, where many kinds of grease and oils are used for e frying, people become accustomed tc the different smells, and do not mind them. In this country all are accustomed to the smell of frying hog lard. When it was first proposed to cook * with .cotton oil the new smell was obd jectionable, especially the smell of x badly refined oil, andi thus there grew 3 a prejudice against its use. Another e cause for bad results with the oil was the fact that often times the cook k* would not wait for the oil to get hot im enough before putting it in the articles. >* When using lard, the cook would naturs ally wait for it to melt, and it would i, get hot without provoking impatience. it But the oil looks ready when it is first put in the frying pan, and there is a temptation to use it too soon. There , has been much steady work done by ' those who make cooking compound^ from cotton oil, with a view to reducing or disguising the smell. The result has )( been most gratifying. There are several concerns making a specialty of oil refined for use in cooking, without further manipulation. The Wesson Process company of Savannah. Ga., has ? been very successful in this line and > will be glad to mail cook books. There are also a number of highly " '-M- /.nnHrii, crroa SM nflftdf SailSIUClUl > l-uuai"6 o from cotton oil and beef fat, such as Palmatena" and "Snow Drift," both of which products are extensively manufactured by the Southern Cotton Oil Company of the Carolinas and Georgia at their works in Savannah. They are both high class and reliable r* products in which the pure cotton seed t ,u is used and they resemble lard in t ippearance and results, but are more 0 satisfactory and healthy, and which are , mpericr to hog lard from every point of 1 iew. < . That they are much mure althful there can be no doubt. e 0 ^ There is lots of "go" to our buggie: 1 this season.
