CHAR.LrSos,Dec. 12.-The killing of
Tom Lamar, the Kaolin King of Al

dtement. At 5 P. M. Mayor Chafee of
Aiken received the following telegram
from Langley, a manufacturing village
about ten miles from Al en:

atLangdon and drove to Aiken. When
he arrived there Mayor Chafee was on
the Iookout for him to arrest him.
Accrepanled by Chief Marshall
Robert Gaston,. they found Lamar in aI
barroom drinking. The Mayor wfalked

JORDAN'S APPEAL TO PEEJUDICE. the
did
Mr. Jordan expressed surprise at the chd
opposition to the bill, which had been 3
agreed to by all parties interested as a
fair compromise. He contended that tar
the factory laborers are the hardest cou
worked in the State and should have thi
some protection under the law. b
They are, he said, poor, helpless and bill
neglected. Graniteville mills, he said, He
had made 21 per cent. in one year, but agi
had not put up the price of cotton one s
penny or added anything to the pay cou
of labor. tio
Mr. Jordan was in the midst of a
very fervent flight, comparing Mr. Car
roll going forth some frosty morning
in magnificent overcoat, comforter and
rubbers, and a poor widow half naked
leading her shivering child to work in Bs
the factories. slo
Mr. Carroll asked if people didn't
sometimes go to work half naked on
the farms.
Mr. Jordan said, very emphatically
and with a very long roll of his o, "No, a
sir." He went on to say that farm ob
laborers worked in the pnre air of
heaven and were not locked up all day. the
When a bill of this kind was introduced
the summons was flashed over the
wires, and factory presidents and su- Vo
perintendents flocked like birds to a all
rice field, but the laboring man was
not heard from. He read a letter
praying for the ten-hour system, and H
said there was no name toit but "Vau- Hv
close operatives," because the condi
tion of those people was such that they yo
were afraid to sign their names to such HE
communications. Fa
Mr. Brice opposed the bill. He con- th
tended that it was interference with to
the liberty of choice and action of the di
people it was said to be intended to di
protect. He said be had a petition
from the laborers in the Chester mill
asking him to oppose the bill. They OP
were paid by the "ct" and preferred la
to work twelve hours and earn full In
wages to having their time cut down. col

THE FACTORY LABOR LAW.
The Bill Passed Making Eleven Hours a
Day's Work-What was Said in the
House,
ISiecial to News and Courier.1
COLUMBIA, December14.-The House
to-day tackled the Calendar in a lively
manner and disposed of a number of
minor and several more important
matters. So far as the general public
is concerned the most momentous
question was the Ashley labor bill,
which was passed as recommended by
the committee after some opposition,
cbiefly for the effect it would produce.
The bill authorizes the employment
of all factory labor for 11 hours a day
or 66 hours per week. It is supposed
to be a satisfactory compromise to the
factory men and labor advocates.
The big fight of the day was on Ash
ley's factory labor bill. It was short
and sharp. When the bill was called
Mr. Hardin moved to strike out the
enacting words of the bill. Citizen
Ashley promptly moved to table the
motion.
Mr. Wilborn, of York, said that the
Legislature ought to act carefully in
such matters. The agricultural and
cotton factories are so closely linked
that if one is hurt by legislation the
other is sure to feel the effects. The
tax value of Spartanburg has been in
creased two million dollars by its fac
tories. They consume 150,000 bales of
cotton, and every bale of cotton sold
there brings $1 more than elsewhere.
To pass this bill would be class legisla
tion. ' The bill should never be.passed.
It is a dangerous precedent. It inaug
urates"a struggle for mastery between
laborer and employer. It is wrong in
principle and is a blow at personal lib
erty. The danger is what will be the
next demand? Where is the point
where unholy ambition is stopped?
South Carolina is looking up, her hopes
have been revived and it is wrong to
thwart it. If you are farmers do not
commit suicide and cripple this great
enterprise. I do not believe such leg
islation is desired.
Mr. Foster, of Spartanburg, remarked
that he visited many of the factories
and the cries come for help. Factories
in every other State have a law except
ing ours, and in the North they work
only ten hours. - Many a widow goes
to the factory for support, and they
are literally worked to death. There
are no institutions that have made more
money than the factories. You may

Indians.
My horse bowed his neck, and plac
ing his~mouth against his breast I was
helpless, and away he fairly fiew. What
could I do? Pull off the road I could
not; stop.I could not. Away he went.
I looked around, but there was no one
jin sight. We had left the others far be
hind. I knew that in a few seconds
one solitary cavalryman would be rush
ing into tbe midst of the foe. One mo
ment more, and I saw drawn up fross
my path a double line of, Federal cav
alry. It may be, I thought, they will
see my predicament and let me through;
it may be that they will not fire, but
how could they know that my horse
was running away?.
They must have thought the devil
was coming, for up went at least 100
carbines, a crash, a cloud of smoke, and
with one terrible plunge and groan my
steed fell in the woods, pierced by sev
eral balls. How I escaped God only
know. In a few moments 1 heard our
boys coming down the road. A volley
from the federal line, but onward they
went, and I, mounting a horse belong
ing to a lieutenant of Company H. who
was killed here, joined in. We broke
this regiment-the Eighth New York
Lent. Owen AIling killing its brave
commander, Colonel Davis. Then came
the Eighth Illinois, and quicker than~
some of us came we went.
