"Wednesday, December 12, 1900. 1 ? Col. John L M. Irby ex-United States senator, died of Bright's disease at his home in Laurens Sunday morning after tin illness of several weeks He was but 40 years of age He was generally considered the oiganizer of the Reform movein mt in this Stntn wliiMi shape in 1890. In that work .he was closely connected with two other men, both of whom are dead, viz : G. W. Shell and Hugh L. Farley. Senator Irby was a man of strong personality. Ho was a member of the Constitutional convention in 1895 and served with marked ability. Ill a case from Rock Hill, recently tried before Judge Klugh at this place, it was decided that the graded school had no right to exact tuition or special fees from pupils within the school district. The case may bo appealed to the supremo court, but we cannot soe with what hope of success. Thel ' j:A Qh ?J I * Heatl #> j; Making do II weeks left. We rr hi injured by the dust IJ sou led CHRIST] ? $8,500 at a merciless redu Exquisite Tailor S ^ derwear, Fancy Gc i J HEA-] fc.. . Stat? provides that the schools shall be supported by taxation in order that tuition may be free, and the trustees certainly have no right to defeat tho purposes of tho law by exacting additional tuition, however it may be disguised under the form of special fees, the principle being the same whether the fee is ten cents or two dollars a month. It is not our purpose to rub the cat's fur backward, but there is 110 cause for indirection in the matter. We think our own school has been smutted with the same stick, charging a small sum per scholar each month. The principle is all wrong. The school ought to be a free school, or taxation for its support I should bo abandoned and let it be run as a pay school. The amount is small; it is not that. It is tho principlo. If the trustees have tho right to exact ten couts per capita, they have the right to exact ten dollars. We do not charge tho trustees of any intention to levy an illegal embargo 011 intelligence. They no doubt act as thoy think prudent and in the beliof that, this is necessary to avoid a deficiency. Would it not bo much better to bold clearly to the spirit, the intent, of the law and furnish free tuition in tho common school branches? If there is an imminent deficiency, efficient teachers could be found to do the work for such money as could bo spared ; and then the pay would bo good. The hours of labor are few. Indeed there are few daily vocations that call for so small a number of hours, and only five days out of the week. Economise if nocessary, but take tho taxation ofT the children's free school money.?

He says: *'I am sorry the childlabor bill was defeated. It looks hke no legislation which touches corporations can bo passed.

When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. This should be borne in mind and a bottle B of the Cough Remedy kept at hand ]\j ready for instant use as soon as these symptoms appear. For sale by J. F. Mackey & Co.
