Take and follow that plan which is more apt to bring success. Wk would be glad for Conway to get on a building boom. Half a block in the business portion gone up in ashes, and a dozen families wanting houses to live in, and if buildings don't begin to go up now, they hardly ever will. Conway needs nothing just at thh time more than she does a quiet means of communication with the outside world. Her citizens are ir earnest about the matter and tho.y intend to have something of the kind before they give it up.

A Bili. to compensate the victims of thieves and miscreants was intro duced in the Legislature by Mr Aul, of Barnwell. It was promptly killed as it should have been. It h easy to see that the payment o such claims, as they rise so often would soon impose a great burdct on the pockets or the tax payers. The House of Representative! killed last week the usual bill to ta> the ,Jyaller dog" introduced this time bv representative McCall There is a similar bill on the calen dar, which if not already killed b> this date, will be snowed under as soon as it is readied. As the law now stands the people pay taxes on dogs; aud any farther burden ir this direction would be abnoxious. Ouk Legislature is, as usual, eon suming much time in the discussion of measures. Some of the bills would really become good laws il passed, but many of them are rner itless and would be useless legislation in our opinion. It is useless wuste of time to spend hour after hour in the discussion of the merits of anTfttltouro which, if passed, would be of no practical value to ihe people. A YKAR or two ago soma gentlemen from Hennettsvillo were through I this county prospecting for a new . |^| ^ railroad frotn lientiettsuillo, through ami Horry t ? the s-acosjst. i mm ? ..I m . i * . ? ... J-. ceeding session of the Legislature, and the proposed now road was cal led The Marlboro, Marion and Horry Hail road. Nothing has, as yet, been done under this charter, but it is understood to be the intention of the corporators to begin work on ; the road in the near future for the purpose of keeping tlie charter alive until sufficient means can lie procured to put tlie enterprise through. Tiikuk arc times when the citizens of a community should take matU rs into their own hands and act prompt : lv. liv so doing they exert si pow i crful restraint upon the deeds of desperate law breakers. On Saturday of week before last a quiet eiti/.en of llueks township received a blow"on the head, a death blow in the dark very likely, from a reckless character who perhaps lias made good his escape. When law abiding citizens see the law violated, and have reasonable suspicions for uspceti >g that a certain person is tin perpetrator, they should lose no time to have hitn arrested and give him a hearing ae cording to law, when, if he proves himself guiltless he may be discharged. It is not often that tliev will be mistaken in the man, if tliev use the proper judgment and discretion. If a person is so connected with the circumstances surrounding the commission of a crime as to arouse sus picions in the niiiul of a man of or dinary inteligence, tliero are sufli cient grounds to warrant his arrest and detention fo a reasonable length of time, especially when a dangerous wound lias been inflict ed.

Poythress who is in the Western part of the county reports to the Ware House the most entensive preparation for tobacco that he ever seen in Horry. We would be glad to hear that the planters in the Socnstoe section i were going more largely in tobaeeo. v That is a line country for the weed, as evidenced by the success last year of those who planted it.

Coles of the Horry , Ware house tells us that he is alj ready receiving many inquiries about the prospects of the Horry tobacco crop. The Capt also states that the buyers are interested in the trans5 portation of their purchases of tobacco by boat, direct from Conway " to New York, and he thinks much 4 cheaper rates will be given by the water route than over land. We copy from the Southern To' bacco Journal the following article i tnken by the Journal from the New r York Evening Pest: "Now a similar soil has been found in South 1 Carolina and all other crops in that 1 region are being retired in favor of the weed.

Kaunkkt advocate* of tlie bill prohibiting child labor in the cotton mills feel assured of the success of the measure, but we doubt very much tliut the bill will become a law. We have tfood reasons to believe that it cannot become a law at this session. Such a law will hardly be passed so loatf as our Lo<pslntuuc is composed of indepe dent, five thinking, broad minded men. Those who form the taw do so with nothing in mind except tlieed I If . r UV.IIIK'11 < 111 v i ,ii v? IM li! ru ?M UlU factory children. They never consider the finuneial condition of these children and their purer ts. They never guess at the result such legislation may in the end lead to. The law would not only make a hardship upon the factory owners, and in many cases, perhaps, become the death blow to cotton milling in many of our towns where the industry is in its infancy; hut if would be the worst kind of hardship upon the mill operatives. The mill owner might be able to stand his part of the oppression, but the operatives and laborers could not. It is no use dreading the assertion, because the truth hud as well he told; the majority of mill operatives are compelled to work their children to help support the fitmily. If the opera n 11- 11 ] ci Mill* is cut (lOWIl Id Ills wages alone, his children, if he have uiany, must go half feci and half clothed. The object of prohibilitg t his child labor in the mills, or one of the main objects at least, is to gel the children of factory people educated. Sendii g to school is to be made con pulsory under a certain age. Now, | take the mill operatiuc with the usual large family of children, and 'you will find that although he works every child in the mill, and works steadily himself, the income of the family is not sullieient to feed them and keop then decently clothed. We are sp eaking of t ho general run of employees at cotton mills. Under these condit'oas cut off inoro than ' half or three fourths of the income juiiu impost* upon tneso poor people tin additional burden of sending to school whether they are able to do without their children or not. We arc ready to admit that the education of the factory children would be a good thing for them, and a good thing for the State by raising the standard of the citi/.onship of the rising generation. The question is, are the mill operatives able to educate their children? Can the State do it without feeding and clothing the children while they are at school. Why are the children of mill operatives entitled to more consideration than the children of the masses of the people all over the State? Let the Legislature pass a law making education compulsory as to all classes, and all classes with one voice would * condemn their action and at the next session would send neii pledged to repeal the law. This labor bill is the same thing except that it applies to one class only of our people. If the Legislature should pass this law, it would become an easy matter to pass the osher. We are surs that it is a step in the wrong direction in many respects. A. Deep Mystery.
