A notwithstanding to Nature

=
The experiments Of modern ply
sicians and scientists have
established the fact that many of
the germs of disease enter the body
by the inhalation of air laden with
bacteria or microbes. These germs
are very small but their. work is
deadly. Still many of them are
comparatively harmless in health );
but as soon as an organ is diseased
it is attacked. The experimets
of Koch and others have shed much
light upon this important subject
But up to the present time the
culture Of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
thei' destruction. AS we can do
so little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course to strengthen and revitalize
the system SO that it may repel
and resist their destructive in
fluence, and does it not seem very
fitting that the -evitalizing element
should enter the body through
inhalation of oxygen which is at
once revitalizer and germicide?
The experience of years and the
testimony of thousands show
Compound Oxygen to be the agent
needed.

pulsory education measure. Both

pulsory education measure. Both
were rejected by the Senate.
: Senator Gruber's bill fixing the
school term;of the public schools
at six months, and requiring that
the dispensary school fund should
be 80 distributed that $3.50 should
BIZ gwen to each school was the
special order for the morning.
Senator Graydon opposed the
bill on the ground that it was
unjust, ii. that the dispensary fund
would go largely to those counties
which have no dispensaries.
Senator Mayfeld also opposed
the bill. Under the operations of
the fund Charleston doesn't get a
cent of the fund His conty paid
in about $4,000 and got | s160.
If we are to be robbed at |, ne
said, then take it all. Dis sary
profits should 60 into into the
treasures of those counties which
pay them.
Mr. Gruber held that the Con-
stitution is mandatory as to the
distribution of the dispensary
school fluid. He held that the
State was practically making no
progress in education. Notwith-
standing The number of colleges
thereis lack of material for them,
and with two exceptions there is
not college which does does not
send out agents yearly to secure
students. This shows that someth-
ing is radically wrong. The diff
Guilty lies with tho common school
system.
Senator Hay opposed the bill,
holding that the present law is
better than the proposed bill.
On Mr. Graydon's motion to
strike out the enacting words the
result was 81 to 7 and the bill was
rejected.
The next bill was also an educa-
tional measure, being Senator
Browns compulsory educational
bill. The bill, he said, was design
ed to meet the needs of the poor
and ignorant children. The State
should educate her children for
herself. Nothing short of eight
weeks at school, as provid-
ed in this bill, will meet condi-
tions. He read a circular from
the Kings Daughters of Columbia
in reference to children working in

cotton mills, where they are de-
prived of every opportunity of get
ting an education. 1t is claimed
that the bill is an interference
with private rights. But the child
has rights ss well as the parents
and one of the child's rights is to
receive an education. The law
protects the child against bodily
injury. Is it not more it's duty to
yrotect it's mind2 The evil or
indifference on part of parents can
only be overcome by State COM
pulsory education. There is moth
ing undemocratic about, it. 1t
carries out a principle of our
Government. The idea has been
endorsed by all leading educators.
Thirty-two out of the forty-6ve
States have tried it. It is the
law in the City of Charleston now,
he asserted.
Senator Blakeney said that there
was a race question in this measure.
1t would give the negroes a far
lager proportion of the school fund
than they are entitled to when the
amount of taxes they pay is COLI
sidered.
Senator Barnwell expressed the
view that compulsory education
was coming III this State. Every
civilized country has it. England
has it as we'll as Germany. But
the question is whether our people
now are ready for such a law. Just
as soon as the State is ready for it
the law will be adopted. But at
present he would not vote for the
bill.
Senator Sarratt moved to strike
out the enactiDg words, resulting
in the rejection of the bill by
a vote of 81 to 7.
In the House Mr.. N. G. Evans
introduced a bill providing for the
sale of the South Corolina and
Georgia Railroad, now a part of
the Southern railway system by
lease, contrary to law.
