- We are able to see why cotton
mill owners are opposed to the propo-
sition which would make them respon-
sible to employees for injuries sustain
ed by the negligence of fellow servants /;
but at the same time the bill appears
to us to be just one. Laws that are
calculated to encourage litigation are
generally bad. This we believe. 1t
is possible that such bill as has been
proposed would from time to time give
rise to unjust suits against corpora
tions, and it is possible that such suits
might sometimes be unfairly won.
But still there is another side to the
question. The liability of railroads to
injured passengers has done much to
increase the safety of railroad travel,
and we think that the passage of a
bill like this would do great deal to
lessen the liabilities of operatives to
injuries. We do not look upon the
cotton mill corporations as being un'
relenting enemies to their employees,
or the employees as being unrelenting
enemies to the cotton mill corporations.
We look upon this bill, however as
being based upon common justice and
common sense.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-01-31

We have read very carefully the
debate on the Roberts question, and
while we are convinced that legally
Roberts is entitled TO his seat, and
that, therefore, he ought to have it,
still we believe advisable to at once
provide against the recurrence of such
a contingency. Notwithstanding all
argument to the contrary, we cannot
but regard the Mormon religion as a
serious menace to American principles
as embodied in the constitution Of the
United States. The Mormons claim
that they have abandoned polygamy
as a tenet of their religion. We can
not bring ourselves to believe anything
