A RADICAL INTEJtFERKNCZ.
Mr. Ilderton proposes in the legis
lature a measure which, if carried,
will work untold wrong upon the very
class ho would befriend. He would
limit all mechanical labor and labor
in our cotton mills to eight hours
daily, except under contract. Is it in
the interest of poor overworked hu
manity that Mr. Ilderton champions
their cause? Does lie expect by
shortening the hours of labor to help
the individual? The laborer might,
if this measure prevail, have two
hours ’more of enforced rest—rest
that lie neither needs nor wants.
One-fifth of the earnings of n laborer
is a largo slieo to cut off with one full
sweep, without his consent. J?m-
ployed and employer are very well
satisfied with tho present law. It is
working no hardship. Uy lengthen
ing t he hours of labor from Monday
to Friday, the factory hands are en
abled to save to themselves one-half
of Saturday. This they need and en
joy >ia they could not were the pro
posed measure to prevail.
Capital needs to be considered as
Well as labor. Millions of dollars
have of late years been invested in
our state. It was invited here, and
very giad were wo for it to come.
Some came to avoid the very restric
tions at the North that others wish
to impose at the South. Would wc
stimulate rather than hinder the de
velopment of our resources, then let
us ho generous to those who would
help us, and not he eternally agita
ting tlio labor question. Investors
are soy at best.
THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
President Cleveland and Secretary
Oiiie\ may well be proud of the steps
they have taken in bringing about
the Arbitration Treaty between Eng
land uml the United States. It was
an advanced step to her when,
through friendly intervention of the
United States, the Venezuelan trouble
was put in a fair way to lie amicably
settled. This seemed to whet the ap-
petites of the president and secretary
for something nobler still. And at
last it is within our grasp. England
is rejoicing over it and so is America,
hut senators, most noble senators,
in some mysterious way are offended
and withhold their approval. Per
haps it is to show their power, and
that I he president is not supremo.
And so llie greatest event of this Inst
decade of the century hangs fire.
Even senators are not free from jeal
ousy. Hut it must be, it cannot fail,
it is but the onward march of that
civilization innogumted by the Anglo-
Saxon race, to bo followed by other
nations of I lie world. The spear may
yet be turned into the pruning hook.
GOV. ELLERBE’8 INAUGURAL.
Our chief-executive is inducted
into office under the brightest aus
pices. Elected by the people with
out regard to party, ho comes to the
office untrnminere 1 by party fealty
Honesty of purpose riogt through his
address as he speaks wiih no uncer-
Ijdu sound in outlining (lie policy of
his administration. There is in thing
hidden, nothing illiberal about the
man, either in private or public life.
There is no doubt that he feels in
touch with every department of the
state government and speaks with
authority ns ho gives his views of af
fairs in the state as bequeathed him
ny his two immediate predecessors,
lie does not intend to thrust in an
unsheut In d sword hut rather to bind
and make whole the lacerated mem
bers. We need not to read between
the lines to find in this fine inaugural
address un index to better limes
ahead.

TRYING TO STRENGTHEN LAW.
The law as it now stands is good
enough about carrying concealed
weapons, if public sentiment was only
favorable to its enforcement. Still
wo find legislators trying to mend
matters by inflicting more and severer
penalties. Mr. Thomas thinks he
will reach the core of the matter by
requiring that the man who uses a
concealed weapon—such as pistol,
raz >r and the like—to injure his fel
low man be indicted for carrying such
weapon, as well as for the assault.
What are wo to do when grand jurors
fail to bring in a true bill under the
indictment? If we really wiu.'i to mi
ourselves of the evil we can do it un
der tho law wo now have. We doubt
not but that jurymen are often vio
lators of law as they sit empaneled,
sworn to pass judgment on th'.ir
fellow man according to the law and
tho testimony.
WHERE ARE WATERWORKS?
Abbeville and Newberry are rejoic
ing over their water supply. Other
towns in the up-country are trying to
solve the problem in their own way.
Are we making any effort? Uy our
votes we said wo wanted water works.
Commissioners have been elected but
we are still a thirsty people without
reservoir or standpipe. Waiting!
Waiting! We ought to know what
the Commissioi’iers have in store for
us. Perhaps they are going to take
us by surprise.
March, with her furious blasts will
soon be upon us. Wo would betide the
town if during those windy days or
nights the good servant becomes a
hard master. A word to the wise if?
sufficient, but wo hare given ‘ line
upon line.”

IIoweu/8 Fknhy, Jan., 25.—Will
Foster and bis best girl spent last
Saturday night in your city. It looks
as if some of the old bachg are get
ting tired living by themselves.
We spent several pleasant hours
last Saturday with Flaw Picker. We
arc glad to see you Flaw at any time,
so come again.
Mb s Liazie Love, of Kings Creek
neighborhood, has been visiting the
family of J. J. Robinson. We don’t
know whether any of the boys fell
victims or not.
Mrs. T. J. Estes was summoned to
the bedside of her sick mother last
week. We truly hope she will soon
be restored to her usual health.
J. Howe gave the young people a
party at his house last Saturday
night.
It seems that some of tho girls
of this section can throw hints hard
enough to knock the boys down but
still they don’t take them. They wait
to be knocked down right. Look out
boys, you might come up some time
with a broken leg.
There was a singing at, the school-
house at Sunnyeido last Saturday
night.
We notice that the Sunnyside cor
respondent says something about
running a line from this place to a
certain place on Pacolet river. If the
line is run wo want to he left in
Cherokee county and wo will risk the
high taxes. Sambo.

Willik, Jan. 28.—There have boon
more deaths in this section during
the present month, than I have over
known before for the same lengtli of
time.
Three mem hers of one family died
last week—an old colored man, George
Dander, and two of his sons. The
mother is reported as being very low
with the same disease—pneumonia—
and her recovery very doubtful.
Miss Janie Moore died of menin
gitis the 10th inst., and was buried
atLebannon the 12th. She was about
fourteen years old.
Uncle Hiram Clayton, of whom wj
made mention some time ago, is still
very low. He is suffering with la-
grippe, and, owing iu bio entrece old
age, which is about ( J0 years, his re
covery is very doubtful.
We have several new cases of grippe
in our section this week.
The Sims case, which was to have
been tried at Spartanburg during this
term of court, was continued to the
Juno term, on account of seme of the
witnesses not being able to attend
court. Mrs. Sims contemplates em
ploying counsel to assist the solicitor
in the prosecution of the murderers
of her husband.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rollings has been
suffering now for some time with
what her physicians pronounced to
be a broken rising in her shoulder.
Tho doctor lanced it tho other day
since which time she has been im
proving. *
J. R. Smith has been laid up, or
rather sitting up,as ho can’t lay down,
for soim time with what the doctors
term rheumatism of the heurt.
Miss Daisy CYldwell, of Gowens-
ville, spent last Saturday and Sunday
visiting relatives in our section.
Tho matrimonial sea is still flowing
in our section, hut the supply of mar
riageable persons, is still greater than
the demand.
Van Rodgers, a young man who
has been helpless from childhood,
and has never walked a step in his
life, and Miss Lula Sherbert were
married last week. As Mr. Rodgers
has no income and as ho is incapable
of performing but very little labor, it
would seem at first thought poor
policy in him to take unto himself a
wife, but then you know a wife is also
a “help meet.”
Markus Harrell and a Miss Hipps
wore married a short time ago.
d'ink CampbelJ and son, Terrell, of
1’elzir, are visiting relatives in our
section this week.
Ex-Coroner H. R. Pollard, of Camp-
ton, paid our section a flying visit
one day last week. Mr. Pollard is
one of,tho foremost planters of Camp-
ton, besides being one of the most
perfect gentlemen of the county.
Our farmers are determined to raise
a full crop this year. That is if be
ginning in time counts for anything.
There is almost as much work done
on tho farms now as there usually is
the first of March.
I would advise the people of White
Plains and Cherokee townships who
are trying to kick out of the new
county to quit kicking and submit
like “iittlo men,” to the will of the
majority. Jakius.
The Discovery Saved His Life.
Mr. G. Gaillouette, Druggist, Hca-
versville, 111., says: “To Dr. King’s
New Discovery 1 owe my life. Was
taken with La Grippe, and tried all
the physicians for miles about, but of
no avail, and was given up and told
I could not live. Having Dr. King’s
New Discovery in my store I sent for
a bottle and began its use and from
the first dose began to get better,
and after using three bottles was up
and about again. It is worth its
weight in gold. We won’t keep store
or house without it.” Get a free

Reaping What We Sow.
Every one by his daily life and
character is shaping without a
change his eternal destiny. In tins
world he sows the seed, and in the
next world he is sure to reap the
harvest. And often he is reminded
in this world of what he has sown.
I say if a person deliberately and
persistently sows the seed of sin in
this world, both ’natural and divine,
let him reap what ho has sown.
Justice requires that men should bo
estimated and judged according to
their merits, that they should be
treated according to what they
seem to be. The full measure of re
sponsibility is imposed upon men for
their conduct in this life. 0, that we
would look into the wondcrfulness of
our relationship, one to another, and
while others go about :? •:•'£ good can
we sit still and do nothing and feel
that “God is well pleased with us?”
Sowing and reaping! 1 think spite
work might come under this head. I
will here say such work doesn’t pay
only to the one that docs the work, for
twice in my life 1 tried it and for pay
I got full measure both times, but
over the left.
Whether it is to be a harvest of
shame or glory, of misery or joy,
depends upon the character of the
seed which is sown in this life. The
Scriptures inform us regarding those
who did not choose the fear of the
Lord, that they “Shall eat of the
fruit of their own way, ami he Jfilled
with their own devices.” Hut hope
springs eternal in the human breast,
and the faculty by which hope is
cherished is as enduring us life it
self. There are bygones which can
never bo bygones. And quite as
much so among the joys of life us
among its stings and sorrows, but
never was the love of God to man
greater than it is today.
Mrs. R. Ann Waters.

J. H. Rogers on tho night of the

was an entire success, especially tho
eatables, which was all a mason could
desire. That is saying a great deal,
especially for Joe, but wo could not
wonder when informed that the affair
was managed by our genial friend
Capt. Joo. Sprigs. Mr. Rogers also
authorizes me to say to his many
friends who have sent letters of in
quiry to him in regard to this place
that he has worked at several cotton
mills but he likes this better than
any ho has tried us yet.
