THE FtWVR rHet RE'TVJ. The agitation i,, many of tbe p-pers of the state in favor of doIng away with the present system of campaign meetings is in the right direction. Nothing is to be gaiued by these county to county canvasses of the State. The speechesof the various candidates at any one meeting are seen by the people all overthe State, and they are notgoing to read these speeches more than once. The candidates make practically the same speech at each place, or, at least, ought to, if they have any decided views at all, and we fail to see the rea son in having these views rtpeated every day for forty days. It seems to us that one meeting in each ditrict would certainly be enough or too many Besides these campaign mettings in South Carolina are degenerating, or have already done so, into occasions for candidates to heap personal abuse upon each other, and generally the man whose vocabulary includes the most abusive words, receives the ap plause. Whether it be because of this fact, we are not able to say. But that has been our observation. We believe that any plan looking to cutting down the number of these meetings will be for the good of the State and the candidates, and would elevate the standard of politics in South Carolina. An opinion has been rendered by the Attorney General's office construing the new road law. The amount of the commutation tax if paid before the 18th of March is $2.00, if paid between the 18th and 31st, it is $100. The new law reducing the amount and requiring the tax to be paid before the 31st of March goes into effect the 18th of March. The old law requred the tax to be paid by the 1st of F ruary. So the man who pays before the 18th will have to pay 8200, because the law does not become operative until that date. President Roosevelt has announced that he and his party will visit the Charleston Exposition during the sec ond week in April. The president will be accompanied by his wife and daugh ter and several members of his cabinet and their wives. The trip coming and * going and the stay in Charleston will include only four days, but that will give him time enough to take a look at the Exposition and to meet the peo pie of South Carolina. Mr. Thos. J. Adams for twenty-eight years editor and publisher of the Edge field Advertiser, has been forced to retire on account of failing health. He has given the plant to his daughter, Miss Florence Adams, and the paper is continued and edited by Mr. J. L. Mims. We -hope that in retirement Mr. Adams may soon regain his health. Col. B. W. Ball, who has edited the Laurens Advertiser for man:7 years, is * critically ill. Col. Ball is a Confeder ate veteran and an able lawyer and has made a forceful and clever writer on the press. He was for several years solicitor of this circuit and has many friends in this county who will be glad to hear of his recovery. We are glad to see that the Board of Public Works have advertised for b'ds for sewerage system in this city. We hope the contract will be promptly awarded and the work pushed with all despatch. BacHMA1N0CAPEL LETTEa. AU the News of a Busy Community-The Child Labor Views of Representative Banks Endorsed. How many cloudy, wet Saturdays have we had in succession? Oats that were sowed before the snow are up and looking nicely. The wheat crop looks about as shabby as I ever saw it. Teacher on Ethics-What's the first thing to do when you go to meal? * Pupil-Go to eating lasses. Would It have made any material -difference if Roosevelt would have missed coming to the Charleston Expo aition? Wonder how our prize fighters are getting along in Washington.' It's to be hoped that they have cooled down by this time. Our school at Union will close next Friday until some time during the summer. We are not drumming for extra work, but you can look around and see if the law requires you to get a new registra tion certificate. Don't w ait until the last day and all make a rush at once. The books will be opened in the County Supervisor's office the first Monday of each month. We are grad to learn that Mrs. Geo. A. Kinard, who has been critically ill for the past few weeks, is improving slowly. Represertative Jno. F. Banks' views on the Child Labor Bill is plumb full of good reason and sound sense. We do not say so because -it accords with our own views, but taking tbe matter in a literal sense, it has always seemed to us that when people begin dictating -what you and I shall do with our chil dren, and when and how we shall work them is running the thing a little too much on the bossism style. I don't want to bepersonal, but will point out an instance of a poor woman right un der my own observation whose husband died and left her with four small chil dren to battle with tae hardships of life She was left a small little home which was under mortgage; afte,r mak ing one crop sbe found that she could t-ot mr-pt other expense-. not saying C :.nytbing about ducing tbe mortgage over her home. Sbe came to me and !atcd her conditi!n, and aiso said that she had i-ome to th conclusion to try the cotton mills at Newberrv: said she thought that if she could make a sup port with what her two children could help, the oldi st only being about nine years old, that she would rent out the farm and pay the mortgage; otherwise, if she stayed on the farm and tried to make a support the mortgage would eat up the- land and leave her without a home. I told her that I tbougt that she had come to a wise conclusion and t taken a very sensible view of her situ ation. The woman stuck to this con clusion, went to the Newberry cotton mills last August four years ago, tak ing her two oldest children with her into the mill. Since that time she has not only lifted the mortgage, but also made a decent support, added to her house furniture more than double, be sides paying out between $30 and $35 for improvements on her dwelling. Today she works three of her children with herself in the mills and makes an average of $36 per month. Now this is no hearsay. I could point- out the wo man in mention, if it was necessary, and Mr. T. J McCrary would certify to the fact as to what she is making. Now suppose your Child Labor Bill had been in operation, that poor woman could not bave possibly had a home to night. We heartily endorse every word Representative Banks said. We notice among the list of prospect ive candidates the name of Geo. S. Mower for Cangresf. It would not only be a credit to this Third Congressional District, but would reflect much honor to the whole State to send Geo. S. Mower to Congress. We don't want to be represented at our National govern ment as a set of Pagans and prize fight ers.' Dear people, we are responsible for the kind of material that comp >ses our government. Mr. Mower is not only an able man intellectually, but he is a Christian gentleman. Dr. Armstrong will preach a sermon next Sunday at Colony on The Power of Thought. We hope the weather will be favorable, and that a large congre gation will turn out. This is a deep subjeet; it reaches a long ways. On the fifth Sun4ay we will have commu nion services and Dr. Armstrong will preach his farewell sermon, and, as we understand, will leave for his ne w home on Monday following The members of Colony had become very much at tached to Rev. Armstrong during his two years' stay with us, and he can have the consolation to know that he has done a good work. We are sorry to give him up, but trust that his good work will continue and that much good will crown his labors wherever he goes I believe that I told a neighbor not long since that this would be a good year. What I mean is, a prosperous year. He called on me for my reason for thinking so. I told him one of my reasons was that we bad been bothered less with agents than we had ever been to my knowledge. Planting time Is almost here. This is another double crop year. A great big crop of candidates is to be planted now' soon in the newspaper offices. Push tells us that 3 A. C. Kibler is to run for Sub Supervisor. We are not specially running candidates, but we can endorse every word Push says in praise of Mr. Kibler. If we were in the betting business we would bet our lst plum on John making a good oficer. Rev. P. H. E. Derrick preached last Sunday evening at Bachman Chapel according to previous announcement. Rev. Derrick's sermon was quite inter esting, and' was complimented by a good many. We took some notes with the intention of commenting- upon his discourse, but our time forbids. Be sides we promised once before not to make our letters too long. There will be communion services at the above named church on the fifth Sunday of sis month, with preparatory services on Saturday evening previous. The congregation elected Mr. R. N. Taylor as delegate to conference which con venes at Prosperity Grace church, em bracing the fourth Sunday of this month. Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Bobb and chil dren, of Saluda, visited their parents last Sunday and Monday. Our daughter, Corrie, in company with her brothers, Joseph and Holland, visited relatives in the Long Lane sec tion last Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Mahaley Werts returned home last Sunday from a two weeks stay with her son Joseph at Newberry. Mrs. Mahaley Stone, of Excelsior community, in company with her two step children, Maggie and Elon, visited her sister, Mrs T. L. B. Epps'aod fam ily, last Sunday. Our friends abroad send us word to write oft en. We try to make it a rule to write about two lectters a month, un less something special turns up. It takes some time and thought to write.

Pleasa v-atber is bringing out the crowi vo now realize the importance a naguificence of the enterprise, as w ,s the benefit resulting from atti lance. Tourists prolong their vis iere, being so well pleased with thit n general and the Exposition in p icular that they find it hard to me ip their minds to leave such pleast vid ententaining surroundings. T. s no stretch of the imagination but tctual fact, the exactness of which ( )e proved. Many of these liberal a )rogressive travelers express surpr h:,t the number of visitors from I kmuI hern States, and particularly fr outh Carolina, has not been great 'he opinion is freely given by th hat everybody who is able to do )ught support the Exposition, as it erves the most generous patronage )eing the very best of the Southi xpositlons ever given. Every Ge ian thought himself in duty bound visit the Atlanta Exposition and mi bimself a committee of one to see t] it was carriod out. South Carolinii hould not be less public spirited ti Georgians.
