The Children in the Factory Schools---Lett< m Prom Mill Owners Superintendent McMahan'ia interested ID the matter ot oducatlog the children in the mill towns, inol has made inquiry Of the mill presidents und managcra as to what is being done for the children In their respective communities. The following is the result of his in quiries as given in his annual report : EDUCATION AMONO TUB Mtl.I. C1ULDHBN. The recent phenomenal development here of the cotton mill interest -in which South Carolina now leads all the Southern S ates and is second only to Massachusetts in the Union?bas given us before wc fully realize it a very con aidorahlo population of mill operatives whose peculiar conditions and needs aro necessarily little known and appre ciated by the majority of our people, ac customcd to the traditional thought of South Carolina as a purely agricultural State. Tho figures of the United States census, not yet available, will doubtless afford material for an Instructive study of the relative illiteracy of persons in ami out of the mills and tho relative school opportunities of their children. It is w ithin the province of the State on porlntondont of Education to investigate this, as well as ail other phases anil prob lems of education in the State, and to present the tacts lor the information of the Legislature and the people. To this end I have wished thai 1 could lind time from the numerous other duties of this ollice to make a personal inspection of the schools attended by mill chi then : to inquire into the education and gen oral condition ol the childron employed as opt ratives in the mills and to learn, through conversations, the opinions of the employers respecting the adequate training of these children at the age which slit lid be given to training rather than to man's work for bread. In the Hell's, us well us in the mills, there is u deplorable teiuleticy on the part of many parents to shift their own immediate burdens and responsibilities to the shoulders of their dependent young, whom they seem to look upon rather us servants than as children to be nurtured. Thus helpless children, in violation of the laws of nature, arc dc prived of the fruit of orderly developed minds and bodies and are sacrificed upon tho altar of parental thoughtless acl lishncss?-love of ease. Hut in the mills there is the greater temptation to iho parents because of the greater rcmuncra tlon of the work, and there is the greater harm to the children because of the in uvitablc hygienic conditions. Thus it is the evil of '' child labor" applies especi ally to the mill people. A little wo k each day in the open air and in contact with animate nature is beneficial to the child At what age he can begin work in the mill without harm to his physical well-being may be a ?illlcult question : but he should certainly not be permitted to bo so employed boforo he has had time to attend school long enough to obtain the rudiments of an eduea ion Compulsory education, properly resort do to by many countries and by even Bomo of the Amoriotn 8tatos, would be a farce with us, cutainly until the direc tien and supervision of our schools are secured by letter organization and system. Without a compulsory law teachers and school olliccrs, if thoroughly awake and zealous iu their duty, can induce the parents to send tho children to school, provided there be not a stronger argument ? a money consideration?to send the children to work The law has always fixed to parental discretion in the control of a child a legal limit to prevent cruelty. The greatest cruelty is to dwarf a child's body anil mind, and to prevent this there should be a statute fixing the age at which a child may bo employed in a cotton mill How much farther the law thould go 1 am not pre pared to suggest. I judeo that some of tho mill presidents would welcome such a law. Sonic of them have told me how they try to get tho mill children into tho schools, and how they enforce a rule to employ no child under-years of age unless it can read. There is a movement among the mil! managers to icach an agreement making general throughout the State some of these regulations. It ?eems that a law would ho tho most ef fective and satisfactory means. At the suggestion of the Hon. Win. A. Courtonay, president of the mill at New ry, I sent to the mill presidents a circu larof inquiry, especially as to the money contributions which some of tho mills make to the cause of education in their villages. 1 was disappointed in receiv ing so fow replies. Some of those, how ever, are well worth reading and are given in this report. The statistics ? though quite incomplete?are given in a table. This is but a poor beginning, and yet will throw some light on the situation and, I trust, prepare tho way for a very full report to tho ucxt Lcg ?lature. October ;:, 11)00.?To the Presidents of Cotton Mills in South Carolina: I wish to give in my annual report a full state ment of the educational conditions among the mill people throughout the State. I lind from conversation with a number of mill olllcers that tho mills have boon giving largely to the support of tho the schools for the children of their operatives. This hitherto has not been reported. I think tho mills should receive full recognition of what they are doing for the cause of education. You will confer a great favor by fill ing out the spaces below. Very truly yours, John J. MoMAHAN, State Bup't of Education.

C ?Dear 8ir : Replying to your two circular letters of the ltd instant, ad dressed to tho Pel/.or Manufacturing Company and tho Helton Mills, of both of which corporations I am president and executive officer, would say some of tho questions you ask I could not an swer, hh I have not the information, and it would bodilQcult to procure it. I can, | however, give you thv following Infor mation : 1 Pcl/.er Miils?Tho number of opera tives In these four mills vary from 2,600 to 2,800, depending on tho season of tho year, aB wo are very much more Hushed with help in winter than in summer. Our school is open for ten months in tho year, shutting down only during July and August, and ono wcok Ch- ;*t mas. Our attondanco for tho year ond ing July 1, 11)00, was 700. Our No. 3 school house, which was completed ten or oloven months ago cost $10,000, and attached to it is a largo hall, or audi torium, with stage, sconory, etc., iu which the school moots for public exor cises, and which wo aleo used as a lecture hall, and which has seating capacity of over one thousand. Tho school build* log is equipped with modorn school for nituro, maps, etc, and is owned entiroly by tho Pelzer Manufacturing Oompany, and Is used for our school. Tho Pel/or I School Is open to all children in tho Polzer village, and WO also take in a ! number of chlldrm living outside of the village of Polzer, both in Anderson and Orccuville counties. The Pelzer Comp any paid three mills school tax last year, fi'J.fiTU, and directly paid tho Polzer Bchool teachers and other expenses from the treasury of the company $'i,',ju. In addition to this our teachers receive their proportion of public school money, which dOOl not come directly through our banes. Helton Mills ?Too iiolton Mills em ploy 500 operatives and are not yet iu full operation, having only started iu July. This mill is in the town of Hel ton, and wo expect tho children living iu the mill village to attend tho graded i schools in tho town of Helton, and wo j do Dot propose to have any mill school ! at Helton, or to separate the children of 1 tho mill people from tho children of tho town people As this mill is t ardly yet under full swing. 1 am unablo to give you tho information as to tho amount paid by the Helton Mills for the BUpport of schools, etc. It may interest you to look at tho con tract signed by people moving into Pel/.or and Helton mill villages, and you will boo how anxiously wo work to en courage the children of our employoos to attend school, both .at Polzor und Helton. If we had compulsory atten dance school laws it would help us very much in mill villages, but any laws at tempting to regulate labor are Ganger ous. I started this term a kindergarten in connection with school. Ilavo tifty | little tots so far and two teachers in ihat department. Yours truly, Ki.i.ison a Smyth, President. Pcl/.er Manufacturing Company, I'el/.cr, B, 0 , October I 1UO0. Hon..I. J. MoMabtn, Slate du per in tendent of Bducati' , Columbia, S. O.? Dear Sir In writing about our schools the other day I omitted to mention that wo pay our school children for at tending school at the rate of ten cents per month for each child who docs not miss a school day during the month. 1 find ft great lack of encouragement given the school children by parents as to school attendance, and frequently I meet with direct opposition, and to avoid this irregular attendance at school we pay ten cents a month, in regular Pelzor Manufacturing Company pay en velopes, to each child that has not missed a day at school iu the previous month. We take no record of the Btauding of the child in school, but we simply want tht'.r attendance, and the necessary training and discipline will follow. This amounted last year to $450, or an average of #C> per mouth for ton mouths. Wc have worked this plan for several years, and tlnd it to bo a great aid in inducing regular attendance, and our average attendance last year was over si; per cent of the enrolment. Yours truly, Ellison A. Smyth, President. Victor Manufacturing Company, Greor's, S C , October 27, HlOU. Mr. .1 J. McMahan, State Superlnton dent of Education, Columbia, S. C.? Dear Sir : I return you herein report covt.ivg j nir questions of October I would ell to youi attention the fact that our schools will cost us yearly about $1,650 in excess of what we secure from common school fund, and inclusive of the tax for common schools. I know there Is a general impression that the mills of the State are not doing their duly as to education. 1 feel that this impression is erroneous, and I am thoroughly in sympathy with you in your efforts to give proper information to the people at large upon this point and have, therefore, given you without reserve answers as requested by you. It would be a pleasure to us at Bonio timo for you to visit this community and sco our building Iu this connection, at an early dato 1 shall formally open the new church house and school build ing that wo have built at a cost of about $d.U0u and, if you could do so, would bo very pleased to have you attend its open ing, as I hope to got several other promi noul parties hero. Very truly. LEWIS W. PARKBR, President aud Treasurer. Victor Manufacturing Compauy, Greor's, S. C, November 2, 1900. The Hon J, J. McMahan, Superinten dent of Education, Columbia, S. C.? Dear Sir : I wrote you on October 27, but delayed mailing tho letter in order to make a canvass of the mill, to Racer tain the number who could not read therein. If I had boon asked this (pics tion offhand I should have replied It) or 15 1 was, therefore, very much sur prised when, after tho canvass, it was ascertained that there were 58 that could not road Such a condition of affairs is certainly deplorable. By a groat many parties it would be pointed to to indicate the illiteracy of the mill opera tive and as indicating a degradation of that clasp. The fault, however, docs not lie with the mill operative That is, tho children who cannot read, as a rulo, ai 3 those who have lived in the country, and moved to the mill village in the last few years. Tho lack of education is not, there foro, ascribablo to tho occupation in tho mill ; but, on tho contrary, in my judg ment, as ascribablo to the conditions in the country. A very small percentage of tho mill hands in this mill have boon In mill work longer than two or throe years; and, therefore, their illiteracy was previous to their hocoming mill operatives. I do not think that you, and others who arc loaders in the educational mat ters of tho State, can do too much to im press upon our white people tho neces sity of educating their children. I ro gard as almost criminal those who proach tho doctrine that the white man will al wayn bo superior by virtue of his skin. It is far from pleasant to boo how amhl. nous the negro is to secure au education and liow litfio ambition tho majority o( our whites show in this direction. I bo lieve if the white people aro to maiutain their present superiority it is to be done only by virluo of their superior intelli gence, and do not think that too great an effort can ba made to impress this upon them. When papers and lenders preach the doctrine that tho white man will always be suporior by virtue of his skin they lead tho uneducated class to think then: is no necessity for effort on their part and no danger of their being surnasBod by tho colored race. With personal regards. Vory truly, Lewis W. Pakkkk, l'icsidont and Troasuicr. Paoolet Manufacturing Company. Snartauburg, B C , October 18, 1B0O. Mr John J. McMahan, Columbia, B.

I "Surge Plunkett," iu writing to the i Atlanta Constitution about some of the things observed on Christmas day, gives the following story: To start at the beginning, I would have to go back to the hills from whence tlows the Baluda river, in Greenville | County, South Carolina, to a period of over twenty years ago. About this time there lived some ten or twelve miles from the village of 1 Greenville a family, recently moved into our commanity, to await tbo starting of 1 i the George W. Scott factory. Their j J home in South Carolina was not bo I humble as tho one thoy now occupy, nor were tholr circumstances bo distressed. The truth is that it is a family who were doing woll on a little farm on the Baluda rivor, but caught tho mani* for going to town and have boon working at tho factories in Greenville village of recent yoarB, till, at lad, they havo come to Georgia seeking work and think with regret of tho homo they left, and find it monstrous hard to keep their sifter going while the Scott factory is being made ready for work. At their home on the Saluda, one dark cold night there came a mau in a wild state of delirium. The strauger had lost bis hat, had torn bis clothes and, all to gether, were In a forlorn condition from a protracted spree, but bore every mark of a gentleman and of a man wilh plenty when at himself. Hi- that as it may, he was taken in and kindly cared for by the family, one of the boys, as dark and cold as it was, mounting his horse and riding three miles for a doctor. This stranger re mained several days at this home on the baluda, it developing in the meantime that he had but little money on ho- per son. This made uo diirercuce with the Carolina couutrymau, hut when the time came for the stranger to depart the countryman rigged up the best convey ance ho had ami tho oldest boy carried the stranger to Oreeuville village. Thoro conies tho story. 'Tho stranger would have the boy receive a tine coat that he himself wore, a genuine broad cloth it was, tailor made, and no such coat had been worn before by any young man along the Baluda river. That coat has done service in tho couutrymau's family for many years, until recently it had been hung upou a nail in tho shod room never to be worn again, it was thought. This presout Christmas found this country family in a bad way, between moving to Georgia and waiting, out of work, for the Boot mills to start. It Is not necessary for mo to slate that tho countryman of Baluda river was a very di'r'jr<wit man from the factory operative that ho is now He has grown old and feeble and so has that good wife, and they togethor live with a widowed daughter, where they are several lit tie grandchildren, who have already learned that life is a struggle and who expected not a thing to como their way in the nature of Christmas cheer. It was just the natural thiug for the grandmother to set her wits to work to provide some present for her favorite grandson, it was a happy thought, I think, that caused her to decide to get down the old coat and undertake to make & small jacket for the grandson out of what was yet sound. It was Christmas eve morning when the grandmother Bet herself to work to provide this jacket. Bhe sat by a small table while tho now feeble countryman sat in tho corner and fully understood that it was his part to keep the tire punched up. I think that both those old people had heavy hearts when tho lirat rip was made upou tho old coat. One sleovo was ripped from its socket, and tho old man loaned over and watched as tho grandmother ripped that dowu to the cull and thon smoothed it out on the table. Tho other sleeve was boou out aud treated in tho same manner. Thea came tho work of carefully rip ping out tho lining. As this proceded it was discovered that one pocket had been ripped sometime or other, and the graudmother had somo remarks about its being sewed since it had come into their family with white factory thread Bhe didn't like the whito thread, but she know it was her daughter who had done it and she ripped along. piece of whito paper, which had evi dently worked through the holo in the pocket before it came into their poases Bion. The old man soon had on his specks and read?it was simply a piece of old letter head: JKHKY LYNCH, M ki:< iia n r I'aii.oii, Whitehall Hreet. Atlanta, (Ja. The old letter head was torn angling, and thoro could only be seen tho lottors, "Dear War-" No telling what tho balance of that let ter was, but it did not matter, aud was only curious because it brought up mem ories of tho old homo on Baluda river. The grandmother wont on with her rip ping, aud perhaps not many words would havo been spokon b.'tween the pair all morning, for I know their thoughts had turned back to Carolina, and they woro living over again the years upon tho Baluda; but suddenly lotting hor scissors drop, she exclaimec: 'And what is this?1 "What is what?" drol'cd tho old tnau, adjusting his specks with oue hand while ho reached to his wife with the other. "A five-dollar note, by cracky!" ex claimed tho old man as thoy both arose with more excitomont thau dignity. I shall not try to doscribo what followed It took more than an hour for tho family to scttlo down. Tho bill of monoy pa or. ed through all thoir hands They felt of it, turned it over aud about, to at last scoot for tho store and loarn for certain that it wan gouuino groeubacks. "What is this?" suddenly hold! "Thoro might bo Bomo more, grand ma," BOggestOd One of the children. They had novor ihoaght of this; per haps thoro was some more, and the work ?n tho old coat wae at once re sumed. It is useless for mo to try to describe what followod. As tho ripping preced ed two or three wads of money (green backs) was found aud rejoiced over. It is perhaps not prudent to tell Just what they did got, if I knew, but I can toll you ono thing, Christmas morning found that whole family with tickets for Qrocn villo, 8. C, and I oxpoet that hoforo this is road they will ho hack on the Baluda again, and tho old man will have a dood to tho old homo they loft. This was Joy enough for one family in ono Christmas, don't you think so? And tho beauty of it is that thoy will all be content to ro main in tho country and proud to bo country folks ?An omployoo of tho cousus oftlco at Washington says that many liulicroua misunderstandings occurrod whilo tho count of the pooplo was in progross. Among tho quorlos on the hlanks fur nished tu tho enumoratorB was ono which was indicatod thns: " Length of residence." Thin was oxpootod to Bhow how long oach porson had llvod in tho place whoro ho rosldod when the census was takon, but when the reports came in it was found that somo of tho enumera tors had misunderstood tho naturo of tho question, and had answorod it in figures-" 20x40," " 70 foot," etc. Evi dently they had measured tho length of tho rosldoncos of tho peoplo they counted. ?A recruiting oftlccr who was in Iowa recently says that the porcentago of mon accoptod in that Stato on offor Ing thomsolves for army servico is con siderably above the avorago in any other State.

Tho Scientific American contains a noteworthy articlo upon " a Century of Progress in the United States," which it would be profitable to transfer in its entirety to our columns, but on account of its lbugth this 1b impracticable. It | may bo well, however, to collate some of tbo facts cited merely as an introduc tion to the Twentieth Century upon which we are now entered Tho writer says ! " In no period of human endeavor 1 has tho work of man been so built into tangible and enduring things of a useful quality as iu the century just about to pass into history. Iu a few days the cal endar of tho Christian era will bo ad justed to u now figure; the groatost cycle of the world's progress will have completed its rouud, and tho wheel of time will have started on a now revolu tion. Iu tho evolution of history tho thoughtful student is impressed by the great change iu methods and subjects wrought by the nineteenth century. An clent and medieval history dealt with bloody wars, limiting creeds, cuuuiug politics, aud the greed of conquest Sloderu history must leave these to a subordinate place, and substitute for them, as of greater importance, the genius of invention, the elements and agencies of industrial progress, and the arts of peace " The great pioneer to the progress along all lines has been inven | tiou, and he says : " The nineteenth century was to mark in this field a great revolution ; speculative philosophy was to be left to the dreamer; and the thought of man assumed a new and concrete shape. * * ,v Tho railroad, the tele graph, and the steam vessel annihilated distances ; peoples touched elbows across the seas, and the contagion of thought stimulated the ferment of civil nation until the whole world broke out Into an epidemic of industrial progress." Tho catalogue of Inventions has been grouped by decades, and in transcribing we will only note the m St important. In the first decade, (1800*1810) Volta of Italy, gave the world the ohomi cal battery which boars his name; Louis Hubert, of Franco, devised a ma chine for making cont humus webs of paper, which was tho fororuuner of the web perfecting printing press; Trcvi i thick, an Englishman, built the first steam locomotive, aud his countryman, V/iusor, organized the first gas company. In our owu land, John Stevens and Rob* ort Fulton successfully established steam navigation, and thereby laid the founda tion for the present great commerce and splendid naval equipment of the world. (1810-20.) Kouig's rotary steam press marked a great advance in printing; Stephens ;n built his first locomotive; Fulton the tirst steam war vessel; Niepcc invented heliograpby, tho piOU'Cr S'.cp in photography ; Sir Humphrey Davy in vented the safety lamp ; electro magnet ism was discovered by Oersted ; and the American ship " Savannah " utili/.ed steam for the tirst time in crossing the I Atlantic. (1820-80.) Faraday converted the elec trical current into mechauical motion ; pins began to be made cheaply on Wright's machine : the first public pas senger railway wn opened in England between Stockton aud Darlington; frictiou matches were introduced by John Walker ; Stcphen-uni's locomotive, " Hocket," took the prize for speed ; the the tirst practical locomotive was im ported and put to work in America: Daguerre invented the dagueircotypc, and Ericeeju supplied the steam lire ougino. (18:50-40.) I'rof. Henry te egraphed signals to a distant point by his electro magnet and inveutod his electric motor ; McCormiok and Hussoy invented and put into service their respective reapers ; Haid^in built the " Old Ironsides," from which time American locomotives began to bo recognized, until in number and quality they now excel all others : I'rof. Morse gave to the world tho telegraph ; Colt in vented his revolver ; Draper and Morse made the first photographic por traits, and Goodyear discovered the pro cess of vulcanizing rubber. Important steps wero taken abroad in chemical and electrical forces : Steinbeil discov ered the feasibility of utilizing the earth for tho return section of tho electric current; Defries furnished tho gas meter ; Talbert made photographic prints from negatives, and I'rof. Grove made tho first incandescent electric lamp. (1841)50.) Sickol's steam cut-oil and Nasmyth's steam hammer wero invented; the first telographic message from Wash ington to Baltimore ; the introduction of antesthuticj ; tho Hoe typo revolving ma chine ; House's printing telegraph ; gun cotton and nitroglycorino ; Howe s sow ing machine ; Savage's time-lock ; the Corliss engine ; tho first submarine cable (Dover to Calais); Sloan's gimlot pointed screw: Amci icau machine made matches (18;'i0 fill.) Page's electric locomotive; Maynard'u breech-loading rilo ; Smith k, Wesson, Spencer and Henry fire-arms : tho fire alarm telegraph ; processes for making paper pulp from wood ; Bosse mer's process of making steel ; the dyna mo electric machine ; Ericsson's hot air engine ; Woodruff 's sleeping car ; tho first Atlantic cable; Perkins' aniline dyes ; the underground cable oar Bystom; the discovery of coal oil ia tho United StatcB ; tho firBt use of tho eloctrie light in a dwelling; launching of tho "Great Eastern;" the improved sneetroscopo; the storage battery; tho crude telephone; the steam injector ; the ammonia absor-i tinn ico machine. (18(10 70.) Tho inventions of this pe riod rellected to somo extent tho strife of battle in tiie war bctweon tho States. Tho revolving turrot, Ericsson's iron clad " Monitor," the Gatling gnu, the tho whito gunpowder and dynamite, tho Whitehcad torpedo, Moncrieff'? disap pearing gun carriage, and the rebound ing gun lock. Tho McKay skoe-sowing machine revolutionized tlio skoo Indus try ; Groon invented tho drivowell : Oti? the passenger elevator ; tho lrst harhed wire fence appeared, and rubber dental plates wero introduced. Oleomargarine was produced, tho Buc/. canal opened, tho Pacific railway was completed, WoBt inghouso air brakes wore devised, and the Mont Couis tunnel was practically completed. (1870-80.) Tho IIoo web perfecting press was developed, and a groat array of valuable in volition* followed, only a fow of which can ho mentioned. The Locko grain hinder ; the IngcrBoll rock drill ; Januoy's automatic cur couplor , Kdison's quadruplex telograpu : Gor ham's twiuo hinder for karvostcra; illuminating gas made from water ; the roller mill for making Hour; Pictot's ice machine ; Boll's telephone ; cigarotto ma chinery ; Edison's phonograph ; the Otto gas engine ; tho Remington typewriter ; the first electric railway at Merlin, and tho MisaiBBippl jetties wore built by I Capt. Eads. (1880-90.) Telegraphing by Indaetion, tho Blake tolcpkono transmitter, the Kecco buttonhole machino, Mergenthal - or's linotype machine, tho We shack gas burner, tho graphophono, the eyanido procoBa of obtaining'gold, Harvey s pro cess of annealing armor plato, tho rotary Btoam turhlno, tho Kodak camera, tho procoss of making artificial Bilk, tho dyna inito gun, nickel eteol, photography in colors, and tho Krag Jorgonson magaainc rifle. Tho first American electric rail way was installed hotweon Baltimoro and Hampdon, tho Brooklyn bridgo was built, the electrocution of criminals was ordered in New York, and the Lick teloscopo was orcctod near San Jose, Cal. (1880-ltfOO.) This decade is tilled with invontivo agoncieB of importance, and only a fow may bo named. The Parsons rotary stoam turbine as applied to ma rino engines has ralsod tho spoed of smaller steam craft to that of an ex presa locomotive; the Northrop loom cotton mills, which sots nimmt with the discretion of a thinking nilnd; the Yerke* telescope t Bdlson** alusto scope, and Its allied Inventions; the discovery and application of tke X TIMMM The father?

South Carolina's JuNlOU Sknatoh ?Tho Washington correspondent of the Charleston Kvcniug PoBt says: "Among tho prominent Southern Senators who are spending the holiday season in Washington Is Senator McLau rin. Tho other day the Senator, who, in spite of the fact that ho is n Demo cratic Senator, is u Btrong admirer, per sonally, of President McKinley, was at j tho White House. The President also has u strong admiration for the South Carolina Senator. The Senator s views upon certain of the political issues now bofore the country are such as to in crease tho bond between himsolf and the administration. In connection with the Senator s attitude, it is said in South Carolina circles that if Sonaten- McLatt riu, two years hence, is a candidate for I reelection, ho will find himself opposed by a strong party in the State. On the other hand, South Carolina people lay that there ia a large and growing element in South Carolina who Bhow a tendency to espouse the policies advocated by the Senator. Senator McLauriu himsolf Iisb never stated publicly whether ho intends to be a candidate for reelection or not, but those who know the Senator best are of tho opinion that ho will stand for reelection. While at the Executive Mansion the other day the Senator re fused to discuss political affairs of South Uarolnm, saying that the time is yet too far distaut to toll what the issues in the State Senatorial campaign will he.
