THE SENATE KILLS
PURIFICATION BILL,
DISPENSARY CROWD DID TALK
ING YESTERDAY.
Senator Walker Attached the Carey-
Cothran County Option Bill—House
Holds Two Sessions.
Columbia, Fob. G.—The senate tQ
niRht killed the Raysor Purification
bill b/ a decisive vote of 21 to 1G.
The vote was reached shortlv before
eleven o’clock and the debate had
lasted during the morning session
and also the night session, after the
vote on the Raysor bill the senate
adjourned until eleven o'clock’ to
morrow. there not being a dissenting
vote. The day in the senate was a
great one and. was devoted almost
exclusively to the argument of the
special dispensary bills. The bill
normally under discussion was the
Raysor Purification bill, -which is
practically the same as the Raysor-
Manning bill which received so much
prominence last year.
The speeches in general discussion
delivered were upon the dispensary
bills as the understanding was that
a general discussion was to be indulg
ed in. The senate was first address
ed by Senator LeOr&nd Walker, of
Georgetown, who argued in favor of
the diapensary. Senator Walker is a
wan o# few words and is considered
one of the strongest debaters that
has ever been In the senate. During
the morning session he made one ai^
gnment in favor of State dispensary,
which was one of the finest and most
concise speeches ever delivered up
on that floor. He confined his atten
tion mainly to the Carey-Cothran bill,
which for several hours he held un
der fire, and dissected and analyzed
the various sections in an able man
ner.
The debate was adjourned this morn
ing until the night session when Sen
ator Walker resumed his argument. He
made a strong fight for the retention of
the institution and used his unusual
of the Raysor Purifilcatton bill. Sen
ator Walker was followed tonight by
Senator Slnkler, of Charleston, who
argued for the distraction of State
dispensary. He was followed by
Senator Blease, of Newberry, who
made one of his characteristic speech
es, roasting the newspapers, and a
number of others.
Senator Hardin spoke a few words
in opposition to the dispensary after
which Senator Otts called for his mo
tion to strike out the enacting words
of the Raysor Purification bill, an ef
fort was made to adjourn, which
failed, and the vote on Mr. Otts’ mo
lten was then taken.
The following is the aye and nay
vote:

Senator Bass, who would have voted
in favor of killing the bill, was paired
with Senator Graydon who would have
voted for the bill and Senator Smith,
was paired with Senator Black, who
was absent.
' The purification bill is dead by a
decisive vote, although an effort will
probably be made tomorrow to recon
sider the vote. With this bill out of
way the remainder of dispensary bills
will be taken up in their order. The
next on the calendar are the Talbert
prohibition bills and then follows Ca-
rey Cothran bill.
The vote tonight is considered sig
nificant after the utterances of Sena
tor Raysor as to the corruption he
thinks existing in the dispensary and
the killing of his purification bill. The
antis are expecting him to vote to kill
the dispensary. Both Messrs. Smith
and Talbert tonight ravored the kill
ing of the bill and as they hate an
nounced that they thought the dispen
sary rotten and hav<> refused io vote
to purify it. It Is thought tpey will
vote to kill the system.
An effort was made this morning
to have the Carlisle marriage licence
bill r- considered which faiU d and the
bill for this session at least is dead.
The hous” held two sessions todav
at which a number of minor matters
and much of state Importance were
considered. The High School hill
which Is in charge of Mr. Nash pas-
»ed the house with an {mendment
limiting the schools to towns of 1,000
and less The same bill has passed
the senate where an effort was made
to attach a similar amendment which
failed, the bl'i carries an annroprla
♦-ten of $50 000, and Is expected to do
much for the secondary education in
the senate. It is thought thai the sen
ate will concur In the amendment as
it Is not thought that It will Injure
the bill as the larger towns already
have the high schools.
The Toole 10 hour bill which has
passed the .,enate, came up In the
house todav and was mad * a special
order for tomo-mw, the house tonight
passed Mr Anil’s hill providing for
scholarships in the textile depart
ment of Clemion College.

A Supreme Court Decision.
The following Supreme Court decle
Ion, reported in the Columbia State
by Mr. John 8. Reynolds, is of inter
est to Ledger readers:
Charles W. Baber, as ad minis ti%
for, respondent, vs. Southern Rail
way company, appellant, and John
Logan.—Removal of causes. Joint
tort feasors. Master and servant.
This is an action for $50,000 dam
ages for the killing of the plaintiff’s
intestate through the alleged negli
genece of the defendant.
The defendant Southern Railway
company in due time and upon prop-
or notice applied to the circuit court
(Judge Price) for an order remov
ing the record of the cause to the cir
cuit court of the United States. The
motion was refused and the movant
appealed.
The complaint herein alleges a
Joint tort 68 S. C. 55.
It was a fatal defect, therefore,
when only one of the alleged non
resident defendant® filed a oetltioi)
for removal. 178 U. S. 245.
Master and servant are jointly
liable for the wilful tort of the serv
ant. committed within the scope of
hig employment while in the master’s
service, and in an action against the
master the servant is a proper party;
and he is not a sham defendant be
cause no judgment can be collected
of him for lack of property or be
cause he was made a party to pre
vent removal of the cause into the
United States court. 73 S. C. 173.
Judgment below affirmed. Opinion
by Mr. Justice Gary. Filed Jan. 14.
Messrs. Sanders & DePass for ap
pellant; Messrs. Butler & Osborne
for respondent.
Important Trade Mark Decision.
Lynchburg, Va. f Feb. 4th, 1907.—A
decision of importance to all manu
facturers of trade mark goods has
bee" awarded by Judge Pritchard in
th*> United States Circuit Court of
this district.
The question involved was whether
the Allen Brothers Tobacco Co., of
Lynchburg. Va., has the legal right
to use on its “Traveler” brand of
"hif' tobacco a tag similar In size,
shape, color, and slant of lettering
hut different as to wording, from that
used by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Co., of Winston-Salem. N. C., on its
"Schnapps” Plug Tobacco.
In the argument on motion of the
plaintiff, the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
p o.. that a restrainlne order be Is
sued forbidding the defendant com
pany from further imitating Its tag,
many affidavits were submitted tend
ing to show that owing to the simi
larity of the tags, the ‘‘Traveler" to
bacco purchased by dealers at a
lower price, was sold to uneducated
chewers for "Schnapps.”

Says Papers Are Snarling Like Mad
Dogs and Do N'/J Give His Own
Words.
Washington, Feb, 4.—In view of the
editorial comments in some of the
South Carolina daily papers on Sen
ator Tillman’s tilt with Beveridge
on child labor in South Carolina your
correspondent asked the senior sena
tor If he had anything to say. He re
plied jocularly. “Some of those fel
lows down there arc always snarling
like mad dogs and 1 think the people
understand the motive and animus
which control them. They will not
even give my w'ords, but garble and
distort everything I say.” Here is
the language just as it appears in the
Record:
Mr. Tillman. I hope the Senator
(Beveridge) will not omit to put into
the Record any we!I-authentlcated
statements from respectable and
honest people that will bear upon
this evil. Every thoughtful man re
cognizes as a very great evil, and I
will go as far as any man in trying to
stamp it out in a legitimate and ooo-
stitutional way. I hope the Senator
will not omit, as I said a while ago,
to get all well-authenticated facta in'
to the Record, so that we may have
ammunition with which to begin cm
sades at home to keep our legislatures
from being influenced by Northern
millionaires who have gone down
there and built mills and made In
dustrial slaves out of white children
Instead of the chattel black slaves of
the old days. I will Join the Senator
If he can show me how to do It here
constitutionally.
Mr. Gallinger. Mr. President, the
observation of the Senator from
South Carolina beyond a doubt is tQ
a certain extent correct. There is
Northern money In South Carolina;
and God help South Carolina if there
was not Northern money there. I
want to add one further suggestion
on that point. Elbert Hubbard has
been quoted in this discussion I
think his statement was not read in
full. I sometimes read the fulmina-
tions of that very versatile man. and
I recall very distinctly that In one of
Elbert Hubbard’s articles he stated
that the parents in the South demand
ed that, the chlldi3n should work In
the mills, and that they were infinite
ly more to blame than the men who
furnished the capital to run the mills.
Mr. Beveridge. There Is no doubt
about that.
Mr. Gallinger. I think it is well for
us to put that fact in the Record as
well as the fact the Senator from
South Carolna suggested.
Mr. Tillman. Mr. President—
Mr. Beveridge. In* just a moment.
I want to say that ray study of this
ouestion. which has been somewhat
careful, confirms that; but the infamy
of the murder of children is not to be
excused on account of the infamy of
parents who are willing to see them
work. There is no question about
that. The mill owner, however,
ought not to satisfy his conscience
bv what he knows to be a perjured
certificate.
Mr. Tillman Will the Senator al
low me?
Mr. Tillman I know there are
fathers and mothers in South Caro-
’ina as well as there are elsewhere
who to my mind occupy the relation
towards their children of cannibals,
who force them to get up before day
and go to work, while they, especially
the father, sit around and loaf and
live off their children’s labor. But I
do not see the force of the sneer of
the Senator from New Hampshire In
saying God help South Caroling If
there was no Northern money there.
1 will say to that Senator rather than
have Northern money go there and
exercise Us lobbying influence through
the instrumentalities of mill presi
dents and directors and others who
eo to the legislature and maneuver
and manipulate and manage to keep
nroper child labor laws from being
enacted. I wish that he and all others
w.io can keep Northern monev away
would keep it away from mv State.
Senator, did you have anything to
about child labor while you were
Governor?
No; at that time the factory de
ve’onment was Just beginning in
South Carolina and there were not
more than 400,000 swindles while now
we hav»* over 2.000,000. I have at
varloiiR places in the State made
sneerhes on oth‘*r subjects and men
tioned the abuses and outrages con
nected with child later.
Do you think our present law ought
to be changed?

dition.
The body of Farmer was brought
to Gaffney, Wednesday night. The
sick men. Bud Bright and W. P. Scog
gins came In yesterday morning.
Thev are still quite sick but will like
ly recover.
These men have large family con
nections and their condition natur-
alk- is causing considerable excite
ment among them.
The Spartanburg Herald, of yester
day, had the following account of the
tragedy:
"J, F. Farmer, of Gaffney, is dead
at Cowpens. and Hosea Bright and
W. P. Scoggings are dangerously ill
at the same place as the result of
poisoning tither from a mixture of
cider and cabbage or the drinking erf
wood alcohol. The cause of Farmer’s
death and the critical Illness of the
other men, is baffling the authorities,
and after a brief investigation. Coro
ner Turner announced yesterday af
ternoon that owing to the condition
of Bright and Scoggins and the ap-
narent necessity for a thoraugh in
quiry into the. case, he would post
pone the holding of the formal In
quest until next Monday afternoon at
Cownens.
“Farmer died in great agony in a
wairon on the road between Mt. Zion
and Cowpens yesterday morning, and
his companions were found desperate
ly ill when they reached the latter
place a few hours later. The men
were in this city on Monday, and
were returning to Gaffnev when
taken 111. A reoort from Gaffney
says they are all woR known horse
traders, while at Cowpens. it Is be
lieved the men are employes of the
Limestone cotton mill at Gaffney.
As the account of the movements
of the men during the last three days
was picked £p here yeste/day It
s n ems that the three men accompa
nied a man named Bright, possibly
Hosea Bright, who came here from
Gaffnev to this city Monday in a
waeon. When they reached Converse
a few miles out of the city, thev pur
chased a quantity of cider from a
man named Kilders. After drinking
the cider the four men came on to
Spartanburg. H«re they purchased
a quantity of cabbage which they ate
for dinner, taking their meal In the
nubile vard near the court house.
Thev noticed no effect from either
♦ho drinkine of the Hder or the eat
ing of the cabbage while here. Afty
leaving here Tuesday on thet*- wav
hack to Gaffney. Farmer comolalned
i»# an< * w ^ ien thev reached
Mt. Zion where they camped all night,
he was In much nain. An effort was
made to eet a doctor from this city
to eo to M’t. Zion to see the men. but
this was unsuccessful.
“H^ grew no better during the
night and was critically HI when the
men left Mt. Zion for Gaffney vester-
« v ™ orn1n K °n the rote between
Mt. Zion and Cowoens, Farmer died
and his friends laid him in tbo bot
tom of the wagon and continued on
their wav to Cowpens. ‘ While on the
think I had half a stand, hut that
made the best cotton. I think thj/i
cotton should be planted two feet In
the drill where the land is good. I
don’t think It will pay to plant it op
poor or impovished land, but if planti'
ed on good land and worked well It
will make as much as any other cot
ton. It grows as high as a man’s
head and it will make cotton until
the frost kills It The early frost of
last October cut my crop small,
as the bolls were smalll, but
they all opened. I received jua(
as much for the yellow cotton ms for
the other. In fact the lint was just
as good. This cotton Is harder to
pick than the big boll, -but you need
not be afraid that it will ten out
“You must let this cotton stay in
tho field unii it gets dry. If yoo pick
it green and haul it to ttie gin a%lle
it is damp there is no gin that can
gin It properly. If you will let It get
dry and feed it into the gin slow you
can gin It all right.
"We have not had any market at
Gaffney for this cotton because, there
has not been enough of it raised in
this section t/ justify one. The
who came heie to buy my crop in
forms me that if enough of this cot
ton is raised there would be no
trouble to get a fancy price for it.
"This cotton should be planted on
red gravel land so It will grow off
fast. I don’t think it would pay on
sandy or spongy land. This is a fun
ny cotton in the early spring and is
hard to get started off.
“What we need is to raise more of
this cotton and all sell together, but
I don’t want anybody to plant a large
crop of it and get a small price for it
and then say T G. McCraw is to
