X. H1. AUil,l,~ ADlTOR, IT SHOULD BE KILLED. There are many reasons why the 1i1) introduced in the house last week pro viding an appropriation of $25,000 for an exhibit from this State at the Lou isiana Purchase Exposition should not pass. In the first instance a creditable ex hibit cannot be made for $25,000, and any exhibit which would not truly rep resent the State, displaying her great resources to the best advantage, would be worse than no exhibit at all. If South Carolina is to have a place in the picture that. will do her justice, she must expend a larger sum than $?5,000. In the present condition of the State's finances, however, we believe that any appropriation for this purpose would be a mistake. We can find much better uses for our money just now. There is no doubt thatt. expositions are of great benetit and that those we have had have done the sections in which they were held and the country at large un told good. But taking the State's financial condition into consideration, it is quite too soon after our own exposi tion held in Charlestol to appropriate money for a South Carolina exhibit at the ILouisiana IPurlChase Exposition. fl GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The Ceneral Assembly did a large amount of work last week, and some v'ery important legislation was pushed forward. ''he present Senate is prov ing itself the most aggressive we have had in some years, and if it contin'tes along the same lines which it has beer pursting, tintil the entd of the session, and the ilouse will fall in line, Soutl ('aro':na will find herself in much better condition to meet the demands of thI present age and generation. We are glad to see that among th teastlres passed by the Senate is ont providing for the at tedtiance of all thn child"en u1pon1 the common schools f,r ai certain length of time each year ant one prohibiting the labor of children it the mills. Neither nt'asre is as str ong as it miight have been, but perhaps it i: better not to attempt to do too much a the start. The Compulsot y Educatior Bill requires that every child in tht Stazt e, bet ween thle ages of' eight ant t welve years. attend school for at leas eight consetutive weeks during cal year. 'Tle Child I.abor Bill is the on. introduced early in the session by Mr Marshall. Its main prii ons are tha at'ter May 1. 190,. no chili under i years of age shall be eimployel in an factory; aft.ov Mw \ . no chil undrt' the age of 11. and after May I 1905, nt child undler 12years age. Pro vision is made for children of widowet mothers or disablled fathers or those en ti'ely depentldent upolt their own worl for suippol t . IBoth Bills are goed as far as they go I i labor in the mills will be injut ions tt children tinder twelve years of ag, afterm May I, 1905,. htowever, we can' see why it will not be inijuiriouis toi chiil dlrent under twe'lve ytears of age afte Mlay I, 1903. And if it is injurious wi cainSt sietn reatsoni why it shiouild con tinue ttr twvo years. Ctertainly it wil nott requtirte two y'ears in order that th< mills andt the operatives may becomi recontciled toi chiangedl conditions. As we have said, howvever, both meas ures arec in the right dlirectioni, and5 i hey become laws will be of untold ben tit toi the State and to all hieir people Actioni oif some kintd hias becomni ntecessi ty, and we hope to see the H otisi pass hot h Bills, unless it cani Itid bet ter tones tto whichi the Seniate will agree Tlhey suplplemenc,t each other and shoub go through toget hem'. Thel hatd weat her continues andI otu roiads beconie worse. It will not be fo long how ever-. Thle roatds will sool reach thle potiint where they can't be conmc any worse.

Writes Interestingly on Unlos Academy Subjects. Representative John F. Banks spent last Sunday at his home, returning to the capital city on Monday. Young Muster Sidney Slawson of Newberry College spent last Saturduv and Sunday with Mr. J. Nolan 1' pps. There was communion at Bachman Chapel last Sunday. Local news seems to be veiy scarce at this tirr . But it's not surprising. Always after a storm there's a calm. The killing of Gonzales was a lament able incident. We sympathize with both sides. G( l's word says, Thou shalt not kill; and it also says, Thou shalt not bear false witness. I have just told you that local news was scarce. So to fill up space 1 will have to jump upon something, then, if it will be of any interest to you. I will give you some of my experience in writing for the newspapers. For a little more than sixteen years I have occasionally had my hand on the public pen. During this time I have written columns upon columns. The first letter I1 wrot , for publication nltt have been veL y, very weak indeed, for it. went plunging right square into the wa4te basket. ''his made me feel vet , small, but nevertheless I picked up courage to try it again. So the second time I tuned up my mind in a little different shape and sent out another small arti cle which popped out like a rose in half bloom. This gave mne more courage and it was not I .ng before I was trying my hand agan. But very sooni miy brother caime to me and said, if I were youn 1 would quit w riting for the news papers: the people are talking about your letters, and some of them are pok ing fun at what you say. This was a stunner, and made te feel almost ashamed of myn weak efforts. But I began to realize the fact that every thing had to have a beginning, and whent a man becomles a public servant, just at that time he becomes a target for the mouth of the critic and sIan derer. So another determination struck :\my mind to u rite on. and many long t'ours of hard study did l spend, while the rest of my family were in their pea'eful beds of slumber. trying t 1 pre pare something suitable for the read ing public. But notwithstanding all the criticisms I continued, knowing the only way to achieve anything wa' it persistence, and it was not long beforc I met a man of an intelligent mind who declared his surprise to know that 1 wa writing such good lettear. J ,& h ow encouraging and bracing wer, I such woids of praise to such a weal soul e. I. I thanked the gentle man for his kind words from the hot tom of my heart. but felt just as I fee now in tihe face of such stiuilhating words: while they always have my highest appreciation, yet I feel the) are not deserving. My dear reader, the object of my effol ,s along this lint has not been to gainl notoriety, popu larity ot to be cotnted smtt, nor any thing of this kind, because I knew that nothing of this kind makes a man what he ought to be. Sometimes I think . hat I ami too free and o,etr in my ex I pressions utpon certain sutLjet ts, butt I .have always tried to let them cotme ftomi an honest conviction of my own way of thinking, and I am not above critiucisnm by any means, for very often honest criticism is the life of its; a .great thought once utttered cani never (lie, bit passes on in an eternal circuit through the mindls of men. In conclu sion to this I want to putblicly thank the dear friends wvho havec come to me , with words of highest praise itpon liy I new year letter, andl assutre them that their kind wvords will always be chter ished in my memory, and( if I have been instrumental in creating one single e thought of good in your' minds I feel fully replaidI for all that I have done. - Oni the other hand I want to say to those who have criticisedl me atnd piossi bly called me a hypocrit that I hiave tic ill feeling towardls sutch; I am able te bear it till.

An Interesting News Budget from the Maybinton Section. Mr. Editor: Having not seen anything from this part of the country, I take this opportunity to let the outside world know that we are still alive and enjoy ing our own hog and hominy. We have been abundantly blessed the past year in good crops, and begin the new one with good resolutions and a hope that we may have a prosperous year. This part of the country labors under many disadvantages, in that we have no railroads, telegraphic or telephonic com munications with the outside world, but we manage by the aid of the mails to keep in line with the rest of the coun try. We were shceked to learn of the sad tragedy enacted in Cc!'mbia a few weeks hence, in "ile killing of Mr. Gon zales. The Maybinton school has reopened under the eiicient tutorship of Miss Lena Smith, of Charlotte, N. C. We hope we will have good weather and thereby a good attendance at school.

I,ike < the2r weeds it's easily (lestroyed while young; when old, sometimes 1111 possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat Consump tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others se'e it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption So much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is constum) tion you can't exp>ect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and wiil be rigidly regular in your treat ment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, cat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. We will send you a itle of the Etul sioi free.
