Ignorance or Malice.

Various assertions have been made intimat
ing that the cotton mills had organized with
view to controlling the price of cotton
That assertion Of course is not in accordance
with the facts. Intelligent people, who are
honest, know that 1t is not within the power
OF the mill men to depress the price Of cotton
Politicians may have sought to create pre-
> judice against the mills which run on shorl
time by trying to impress the people with the
idea that It was pert of ascheme to defrauG
the farmers.
The facts are about in this way: The prict
of cotton was 30 high and the price of cloth
was 10 low that the mills were running at q
loss OF from 500 to $500 a day, and it wal
thought advisable to hold up little to SCI
how the price OF cloth and cotton would
change.
Z There is no better Institution for the people
Z who labor than the cotton mills. and 1t is 6
& shabby thing for disinterested persons to seek
popularity by misrepresenting the officers o.
the mills.
"a Just here this editor would suggest thai
white families who rent land can make
more comfortable living at the cotton milli
I, than they can In farming on rented land.
y The mills have good dwelling houses In
which the operatives may live. The mil

Religious Worship.

Ifit were proper for q layman to remark on
{ religious worship. we would suggest that the
reading OF the Scriptures is always interest
ing and instructive.
& The singing of the songs Of prayer and
Z praise is most delightful part Of the service.
Instead Of high sounding words the Lords
prayer would be grateful to many hungry
heart.
3 II again, 1t were proper for layman to
speak of the sermon, we would say that no
minister Of the gospel should discredit the
translstions Of the Bible. AS we understand
King James appointed q committee Of more
than fifty Of the most learned men OF his day
TO make the translation, and majority Of the
layman Of today would probably accept tina,
tranBlation as correct, irrespective Of the opin
4 ion oflatter day critics.
Again, If the Bible is full OF errors which
i the preacher may correct at his own pleasure
| is there not danger Of his creating doubt In
y the minds ofhis hearers, which may lead tc
disastrous results? ,,'.
A learned Doctor Of Divinity. upon being
asked what effect Bob Ipgersoll and others ol
his kind would have upon Christianity, lis
9, said to have replied that all the infldels IN
I the world could not be as effective in the
propagating infldelity as the common habit
J OF the Christian pulpit in criticising the
translstiops Of the Bible.
That was IN effect the speech Of one learned
in the oounsels Of the ordained ministers o.
Z the gospel.
& Let rs. then, have the gospel as 1t was hand
:; ed down to US. When we quote Shakespeare
/ we follow the text, without attempting to
! show wherein he used the wrong word. And
|. let us treat the Bible with the same respect
4 Let us hear its lessons read as they appear In
the Book, without adding to them, or taking
|, from them, or changing the phraseology.
King James's version has served the Chris
tian people for a long time, and those hear
ers who are not made agnostics by such
5 criticisms Of the TRANSLATION. would prefer K
have Bible just as it is.
However learned preacher may be, yet his
r,criticisms of the translation can only result
In evil. And there are men who do not wan

Cuba Will be Free.

The Yorkville Enquirer, and other newspa'
pers, sometimes discuss the question as To
when Cuba will be ready for seltgovel ment
and when that island will be free. The time
is surely coming when Cuba will have self
government, and when that island will have
the same kind Of freedom that South Carolin
now enjoys. namely: The privilege Of behs =
ing herself and being good and loyal State
in the American Union. The United STATES
troops will never be removed from Moro
Castle. 1t is to the interest of both the
United States and Of the Island that the be
not separated. The acquisition of the islInds

enemies ofthe government, but 1t will have
to be taken. Expansion Is good orth'rdo1

Factory Operatives.

- Factory operatives.
At the last session of the Legislature OF
South Carolina, an effort was made, TN the
! pretense of humanity to cast q slur or stigma
on people who sought to make an honest ltv-
ing at honorable labor in the cotton mills.
That stigma was embraced in the hypocriti.
cal pretense of more tender regard for other
peoples children than the parents were eGer-
cising.
The poor OF this country are surrounded by
difficulties Of which intermeddling poll
!. ticlans know but little, and 1t is unjust that
the operatives of cotton mills should be lesis-
5, lated against by the General Assembly. 1t
was proposed last winter TO set these people
Off as a different class from other citizens by
/, forbidding their children TO take particular
kind Of employment. The very people who
need profitable employment more than any
Z other citizens, and who are anxious to work,
, were to be denied the privilege Of earning
u living.
There Is no ground in justice or equity for
Z, separating mill operatives from other citizens,
and there can be no justice in making law
to govern them which does not apply to
others.
Ifit be the intention to make 1t unlawful
2 and sinful for one mans children to help earn
money for his support, then thessame law
should apply to all children.
It was decreed from a very early date in the
history Of mankind that we must earn our
bread by the sweat OF our brows, and If at this
. late day it be unlawful for children to work
In q cotton mill, then 1t should be unlawful
for them to work on the farm.
Is II right to deprive child OF the means OF
providing clothing and food for himself. or is
I It better 70 forbid him to earn money with
!, which to buy bread and clothing ? 1s 1t bet
Z ter to be brought up in idleness and hunger,
I oris it better to labor and have sufdciency
OF food and clothing?
q AS it is. factory people have hard tine.
: They, as a rule. withdraw from the outside
: world because Of the consciousness that
4 honest labor is discounted by idle people who
may be able to get credit and cheat the stores
! in town.
&, The honest woman and her brave children
who strive TO make an n,,honorable living In
4 the cotton mills are deserving Of the respect
4 and kindly regard all good men and all sgood
{ women. - ".'g,. 4
81, They need the kindly regardAof encourage
nnent, and conscientious lawmakers should
. be slow to enact any law which casts q
stigma upon them by separating them from
, their neighbors.

was conspicuous between the slave and the

( effort to cast down the struggling poor, or
