It looks now as if th building will soon be under con struct ion. Wo trust the present legislator will thoroughly investigate th health conditions in the hosier; mill at Columbia wheroin State con victs are worked. If the condition are as Governor Bleaso says tho; they are?such as to produco con sumption?the conditions should b remedied or the thing abolished. 1 We believe the parcels post lav for the United States will work t< t Kn *sf 4 -- - A I ? - 1* * 4 wv uciiiui ci mo uiiizcmi 01 m< country. We do not believe the fea that the email merchant will be pu out of business by such a law to l> well grounded. It will be a goo< .thing for the country and we believ the time of its coming to be a lav of the land is at hand. In reply to Governor Blease'i tirade against newspapei editors w< quoto from Holy Writ: "Blesset are ye, when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say al manner of evil against you falsely for my sake." "Rejoice, and be excoeding glad for great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophet; which were before you." Matt. 5 11-12. Andrew Carnegie, in bin testimonj before the house steel trust commit tee last Thursday, said that the da] of competition had passed bocaus? of the ability of "manufacturers t< fix and maintain prices." This condition, he says, "destroys com petition." The steel magnate believes "the government should regulate maximum prices." He expressed surprise that the government should have allowed the trusts tc reach the stage they have and predicts that their power will be further curtailed. It is to be hoped that the gigantic trusts will be regulated by the government. It hsu often been charged that the trust* run the government. It has beuu true in some degree, no doubt. Hut ?t seems that these conditions will not be tolerated by the American people much longer. Hut there in one thing that must ho borne in mind: it is curtailment of power, not destruction that is to be aimed at. l^et the corporation, the trust, the individual or the copartnership have a square deal and a fair show. That's all that anything or anybody HhoulJ ask. COTTON GINNERS' REPORT. The cotton ginners' report, issued by the government on Dec. 30th, shows 1,423,383 bales ginned as against 1,107,556 bales ginned in 1910 and 1,0(>1,819 bales ginned in J909 up to the sume date. Onion County shows 21,767 bales ginned this year as against 17,739 the year before and 13,321 in 1909. According to the report the State X' - ? . in general and Union County in par- V ; ticular produced more cotton in 1911 than in any one of the fix preceding years. ~ -3 . ~ Spartanburg County is given 70,; 992 bales ginned to D<c. 13th as ^ . opposed to 54,970 the previous year. v It has the distinction of standing e . second in the State as to numbers of ^ bales ginned, Anderson coming first * with 711,342 bales as against 00,375 j the year before. Orangeburg comes h third and is given 68,576 bales to o 3 Dec. 13th while the same date the v I year before it had 51,880 bales to v its credit. 3 The report by States to Deo. 13th H - gives for the United States 13,769,r 1K)6 for the year.

In a recent bulletin of the census j bureau South Carolina is given 1,515,400, which is an Increase of ^ 13.1 per cent, over the census of ( 1000. That year the census gave 1 ' the State a population of 1,340,316 and the one of 1890 gave it 1,151.- ( 149. 1 The report gives Charleston a ' o population of 58,833 and Columbia, J p the second city in siae, is given 26,- . 7 319, Greenville 15,741, Spartan burg 17,517, and arc the only other < K cities "having over 10,000 population: y There are six cities having from - 5,000 to 10,000 population and five 0 having from 2,500 to 5,000. Union County is given 29,911 in the 1910 census as against 25,501 in 3 1900. 8 B The city of Union is given 5,623 t as against 5,400 the previous censuB ,* Union p.it v )>V wowio atinum ' _ ?w.v. - 'J UUWfTO IT Cftiu I ( B one, 616; ward two, 1,301; ward j three, 1,631, and ward four, 2,075. c The whole of Union township has 1 a population of 10,614; Jonesville ' township, 3,888; Bogansville town- j ship, 3,159; Fishdam township, j a 2,213; Santuc, 2,651; Pinckney, t b 4,219; Goshen Hill, 1,374; Cross 1 Keys, 1,793. . z ?
