Save the Children From Labor.

The Kings Daughters OF Columbia have
started ont on a mission Of love and mercy
They propose to abolish child.labor before
the twelfth year. Their effort Is most noble
one, but we fear they have undertaken to per
form a good work in the wrong way. To sue.
ceed in saving children OF poor parents from
labor It occurs to us that II the philen thropic
young ladies would adopt some Of the chill.
dren in whose interest they are lsborlng, that
positive and substantial good wonld be &C.
complished. II each one OF the Kings Daugh
ters would take charge Of one, two or three
little children, they would show their faith
by their works.
We have In our minds eye, q sickly widow.
with five children, the oldest being eleven
years. This widow has no money, aud she
and her children must starve or work. The
Kings Daughters would make 1t unlawful for
these children to do any work. The mother
is unable to earn bread, and the Kings
Daughters would forbid her children to work.
1t may be that the people Of this country will
endorse Legislators who acceed TO q demand
to stop practice which is not only laborious,
but which Is so cruel and so inhuman In It's
effects, but we do not believe 1t.
We do not believe that any Legislator
would pass law which would condemn
innocent children to starvation.
Work may include hardship. but starva-
tion IL worse than work. There are many In.
stances where the work OF children Is q.
necessity.
Rich people do not allow their children to
do SO vulgar thing as to work. Their chill
dren 60 to college. wear spike tailed coats,
and lead the german, but poor folks must
either work, steal or starve. The Kings
Daughters would make 1t unlawful to. W ork.
The only alternative then is to steal or starve.
Let the Kings Daughters take some of
these little children, and adopt them as their
own, shielding and protecting them from all
labor. This would be much better than con-
demning others to unspeakable fates.

More PeacabIe.

The News and Courier seems TO take very
little interest in the dispensary fight. We
are very glad of 1t for more reasons than one.
A very bitter campaign makes paper less
pleasant to read, and then the lack of bitter
ness may be a recognition of the fact that the
dispsnsary is somewhat Of q fixture.
The State newspaper gives less attention TO
1t than 1t did in times past. And We are glad
of the change, not that we have any sort OF
doubt that the law is In any danger, but for
other reasons, namely: More interesting
matter occupies the space.
1t looks as II by general consent the great
battle against the dispensary has been post
poned. until next summer and possibly for
ever tits well.

Americans arc known as u dysfeptie

be inferred from the multitude of sd
called medicines offered as a REMEDY,
They are often in tablet form and have
no value except as lalliatives of the i'm

who used them may feel better but is
surely getting worse. They donot touch

tritioh: tits not made to give temporary
relief but to effect permanent chre. In

Town VS. Country.

Judge Golsan, DR.. A. +. Barrow
and M6ssrS. JOS. Stern and a. VII
leret went to Baton Rouge to see
how the land lay concerning tile
Percy bill, relative to giving county
seats the licenses collected therein.
They found thai the bill having
passed Charybdis as represented Oy
the House and Senate will strike
Scylla in Gov. Heard, who is averse
to the bill. The feeling inimlcal
to the bill seems to arise from a
fear that the towns will be benefit
cd at the expense of the country
Shall not every man have his own :!
1t has always seemed hard to town
people that they should pay the
maximum part of the licenses, re-
ceiving only d minimum Of profit
therefrom. There should be no
jealousy on the part Of either town
or country, of one On account Of the
other; because the country people
are as much benefited by a thriving
town as theinhabitants Of the town.
The live big town for Il county seat
furnishes a convenient and ready
market for produce, a depot fol
trade and travel, while its literary,
social and religious advantages are
as free for its country neighbors al
for it's own people. On the Other
hand, the country undoubtedly
builds up and feeds the town. i
is q case of "united we stand, dl
vided we fall" Therefore all tha
helps the town to become CONNER
cial and social power is bound tt
help the country.
