There- c fore, I venture to ask for space in tt your columns in which to call pulic t] attention to the need for legislation in h our State on a subject which more t seriously concerns its welfare than any s8 material improvement. . Those who interested themselves in o establishing a free kindergarten for te hildrnen of our factory operatives, ai when extending the invitation to all v under 10 years of age, frequently met il with the reply that such children a worked in the mill, and found on in- p vestigation that many children of h tender years (in at least one case 5 a years oid) are shut up in the close s atmosphere, laden with fiying lint, all '3 throgh the long, hot days. Oe night last March, in company with a party of strangers in the city, the writer visited one of our mills which was then Iunining all night and t found many small children at work in t the spinning room. One little girl i seemed a veritable baby, and her b mother, ou being questioned, said that i the child was just 6, that she had 1I worked for a year, and was then, to- I gether with thice of her sisters-all I under 15-working from 7 p. in. to 6 a. m. every night but Sunday. c These are facts which have accident- I ally come under the observation of one o disinterested observer, and the -atural t inference is that such car.tions exist i to some extent in many if not all of c our mills. I am cenvinced that it is ] but necessary for such facts to be made known in a community like ours in order to secure the remedy. It is not a question of sentiment nor of human ity alone, but one of simple policy forC any State to protect its future citizens from the degeneracy which inevitably follows such abuse of childhood. We I are told that the managers do not want( these infants in the mills. Then let( them join the movement to rescue these< victims of parental cupidity, and pro pose, as their experience best fits theai < to do, suitable and practical enactmenms to that end. The effort is being matie in Georgia to make 13 the age limit, and it is obviously advantageous to make the laws uniform in neighboring States having the same industries. Can we not then secure the passage ot a similar bill during the next seeston of our legislature, and so remove this b!ot from the splendid industrial record which South Carolina is making among manfactring States?

What the Young Ladles There are Doing. Though it is with the same sigh that >ther college [girls bid farewell to va :aion that Winthrop girls give up heir summer pleasures, we believe hat Winthrop's young women learn it their college that "all play and no work" is a bad motto to carry through ife; and so it is generally with a spirit f. earnestness that our girls resume heir studies at the expiration of the ;ummer. This year, as is generally inown, the openingwas about a week sarlier than usual. Already the girls ave gotten to hard work. The system of the college is some. hing at which one might marvel; ow such a large number of girls can e so quickly and accurately classified, .ow classes can be formed for them i'l in so short a time, and how briefly enfusion and disorder reign at the >eginning of the session is a matter of u: prIse and wonder. "But usually in w-ek after the opening of the col ese - two weeks at the most-system I~re. order reign supreme. This year be college is quite crowded; the domi ry has no vacancies, and numbers of tndents are boarding in town. It is not surprising that there are so any applicaiionis .for entrance to the .ollege, for the advantages offered here urpass those of any other instllution f the kind when we [compare the ex enseslhere with those of other col. eges and schools. Though the girls are expected and 'equired to 'do earnest, diligent work, hey are afforded at the same time a ertain amount of recreation and musement. Surely in tennis, basket all, ten pins,~. croquet and dancing, ,ch girlican find Eome favoilte way f taking pleasant and he-Ithful exer ise. "Walking clubs" are quite name ous in the college. Girls in sets of ,n or twelve go out for walks onces or wice a week under the leadership of hat they call a "Captain," the cap an usually being a dignified, lady ike senior, whose special duty it is to ee that each girl in the club imitates, o a certain extent, the quiet and com Dendable deportment of her "leader." 'here is much pleasure gotten out of hese little sojourns, and to see the irls gaily returning from such expe itions with bright faces, bringing iack "golden rod" and autumn leaves roith wnich to decorate their rooms, or ikory nuts upon which they expect o Lfest," makes .one, no matter how date, feel light hearted too. The literary societies promise to be ourishing again this year, and will no Loubt do much good work. Public * societies have been at Ioweeks and rehersl, and its mem sipc to study some pretty songs airing the course of the session. On Saturday at the Rock Hill ath itic park there was an interesting me of football between the David m and Clemson teams, resulting in a are of 10 to 0 in favor of Clemson. was in compliment to the Winthrop irs that the teams met at Rock Hill, d over two hundred college .girls ibered among the enthusiastic ectators. The Davidson boys took eir defeat calmly, and good naturedly niled at the triumphant waving of age and purple. On Saturday e ing from eight till ten the seniors id the honors of the college at a re ~ption given to the boys of both tans. It was generally decided that ie senior class would bettel- do the nors to a small crowd of about renty-five young men. And in con-, deration of the boys' pleasure and >mfort for the evening, it was thought ea that about. two hundred and sentyfive of our girls would re iain at home. The college patrons re resplendent with lights and wers, and "black and red," "orange rid purple," mingled with equal ima rtance in the decorations. The rs passed quickly and pleasantly ud it was with reluctance that Clem ni and Winthrop, Davidson and Finthrp said good night. N~e Ot. 16, '99.Ne.
