INDUSTRIAL LEGISLATION.

So far, the industrial legislation pro-
posed to the general assembly, includes
all the more important bills that were
before that body last year-the "child
labor" bill, which has already been
printed-the fellow servants" bill, the
discharged employee" bill and the
mill school, bill. The bill relative to
the liability on account Of fellow SER
wants, etc., was introduced by Mr..
Webb, a mill operative representative
from Aiken county. It's provisions are
as follows:
Every employee Of any cotton manu-
factory, street railway company or
telegraph company shall have the same
rights and remedies for any injury suf-
fered by him from the acts or omis-
sions of said corporation or its en-
ployees as are allowed by law to 9TH
er persons not employees, when the in
jury results from the negligence of
superior agent or officer, or of person
having right to control or direct the
services Of a party injured, and also
when the injury results from the negli-
gence Of a fellow servant engaged in
another department Of labor from that
of the party injured, or Of a fellow

American Revolution, was held at the

The National Congress meets In
Washington on the Monday preceding
the 22d Of February. Miss Jennie A..
Hart, a member of the local chapter;
but now residing in Washington, was
recently chosen as one Of the eight
pages of the National Congress.
A resolution providing for the sub
scription Of $40 toward the Continental
Hall that the Daughters are erecting
in Washington, was adopted.
The practicability Of Issuing special
edition of THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER,
under the supervision Of the chapter,
for the purpose of publishing historical
and other matter, was favorably dis
cussed, and committee was appoint
ed to investigate business details, with
a view to a definite determination. 1t
was understood that If 1t should deNel-
op that there was a reasonable GER
tainty that the enterprise could be
made to pay its expenses from a busi-
ness standpoint, it would be under
taken.

Dozen we had to give it up. 1t is not
a good country for sheep. No country
that is good for dogs Is good for sheep,
and, we are sorry to say, York county
is a paradise for dogs. Some day,
when the dogs are all dead it may be-
come a great country for sheep.
Mr.. w. S. Gordon, of Fodder, has
just handed us an interesting contribu-
ton on the sheep raising subject. The
contribution comes in the shape Of a
letter from Mr.. John Mcmillan, a
brother-in-law Of Mr.. Gordon, who
lives in Cedarville, Ohio. Mr.. McMil-
Ian will be remembered by many read
ers Of THE ENQUIRER as the writer of
several interesting letters on agricultu-
raj subjects. Here Is what he writes
Mr.. Gordon about his sheep raising ex-
perience:
II took my lambs away yesterday
morning. They averaged los pounds
apiece, and two ewes that fattened,
weighed 155 pounds each. The IA head
brought me s7O75. Now, Willie, I am
going to give you little sheep lee
ture, and think you will see the rea-
son why my letter on this subject ap-
peared in THE ENQUIRER a couple Of
years ago. Last spring I had Is head
of sheep, II ewes and one buck. They
were worth IS head, or $50. sold 157
pounds of wool at 20a cents, and real
lied $32.18 Yesterday I sold $70.75
worth Of sheep, bringing the total prof
it's from my original investment up to
$1O2.93. I still have the IS sheep which
1 started with, and four more in addi-
tion Can you beat that raising cot
ton? l am sorry that Mr.. Springs fall
ed in sheep raising, for believe the
sheep industry belongs to the Piedmont
section. If there is any place in the
United States especially adapted to
this pursuit, your country is certainly
| the place."

UPON objection from Senator Petit
grew the senate, Tuesday, held up the
confirmation Of the appointment Of Mr..
James S. Harlan as attorney general Of
Porto Rico. Mr.. Harlan is a son Of
Associate Justice Harlan. Senator
Pettigrew referred to the recent ap-
pointment of son of Justice McKen-
ma to be lieutenant in the army and
his appointment to captaincy over
11S other lieutenants. He was not dis
posed to make charges against the su-
preme court; but he held that the ap-
pointment of sons Of justices to offices
in the new possessions, while such i'm
portant legislation is pending, is at
least indecent. 1t is unlikely that the
appointment of Mr.. Harlan will be con-
firmed.

NEwsPAPERMEN everywhere, who ad-
mire journalistic work performed in a
thoroughly journalistic manner, are
constrained to tip their hats to Mr..
August Kohn, in charge Of the Colum-
bia bureau Of The News and Courier.
Mr. Kohn, of course, has able assist
ance; but he is the responsible head Of
the bureau, and his clear, clean, con-
else stories Of the proceedings Of the
general assembly, from day to day, are
very nearly perfect. They are of value
not only to the general public, but to
the members of the house and senate
as we'll; while every line Of them attests
the keen intelligence and frank, open
fairness of their editor. No better
newspaper work has ever come under
the observation of THE ENQUIRER.

THE idea Of verbatim reports or the
of the South Carolina gen.
eral assembly is not new. 1t was at
tempted once by private enterprise;
but was discontinued because 1t failed
to pay expenses. Notwithstanding this
however, it would be we'll worth While
to try it again at government expense
Nothing we can think Of would be so
well calculated to make legislators
careful about what they say and how
they say it. The United States con-
gress is, beyond doubt, the ablest del1p-
erative body in the world, and no other
one thing has more to do with max
ing it so than the Congressional Rec
ord. 1t will be a long time, probably
before the state undertakes verbatim
reports of the legislative proceedings;
but if the work is ever commenced, IT
will not be discontinued at the instance
of the people who have to pay the ex-
pense.

Tea Culture Near Charleston.

Greenville News A company Of
Northern capitalists proposes to go in
to tea culture near Charleston on an
extensive scale. The experiments DR..
Sheppard has made at Summerville, are
familiar to everyone. Within the last
few days Colonel A. c. Tyler, of New
London, Conn.,, Baron J. A. Vonbrun-
ing, of Washington, and Major ]. r. D.
Trimble, of New London, have been to
Charleston making extensive purchas-
es of land about Is miles south of the
city on the Plant system. They pro-
pose to buy 1000 or more acres and
sooner or later to grow annually 100000
pounds of commercial tea upon their
property.

IT was naturally to be expected of
Senator Brice that he would have the
manhood to stand against that tax ex-
tension childishness of the general as
sembly. Mr.. Brice has been connected
with the government Of York county
so long that he has become thoroughly
familiar with the farcical effects OF
such milk -and-water tomfoolery. We
cannot imagine what could possess a
representative to vote for such reso-
luton, especially in year like this.
While there might be some sense in re-
mitting the taxes of all who had not
paid up to December 81, last, there is
certainly none in postponing a duty
that is as we'll performed one time as
another.

IT is a fact understood throughout
the length and breadth Of the country,
that Matthew S. Quay and Mark Han
ma hate each other with a most bitter
hate. Mark Hanna is a power in pol
itics; but he is not the equal Of Quay
in manipulating the senate. 1t was due
to the influence Of Hanna that Quay
failed to get his seat at the last session.
Hanna has his heart set on the passage
Of the ship subsidy bill. Quay Is op-
posed to it, and it is believed that as
the result of Quay's reelection, Han
ma will have much harder time than
otherwise in getting the bill through
the senate.

IT is indeed funny to think that a
marriage, such as that described by the
late DR.. Maurice Moore in the chapter
of "reminiscences republished today,
could have ever occurred in this coun-
ty. It seems, however, that this mar
riage was typical of a time when whis-
ky was held in rather higher esteem
than it is today. Just who the people
referred to were, We do not know; but
they were undoubtedly as good as the
best, and they have made progress be-
yond the time even when the round
dance abomination, to which the good
doctor refers with so much feeling, has
almost become a thing Of the past. 1t
is wonderful what changes are wrought
in time, and these old "reminiscences
furnish a most capital object lesson
Of this fact.

McMAHAN'S IDEA.
How the State Superintendent Expects to Sc
cure More Efficient School Management.

cure WUIc EHlCICHl UoHo6S"SHt.
State Superintendent Of Education
McMahan is dissatisfied with the pres
ent system Of allowing the voters to
choose county superintendents Of edu-
cation. He evidently thinks that, as a
rule, the kind of men the voters are
likely to choose are not up to the re-
quirements Of the position. According
to his view, efficient men can be secur-
ed by indirection; and at his instance
the following bill has been proposed to
the general assembly:
Section l. That in July, 1902, the
state board of education, upon the joint
recommendation of the governor and
the state superintendent of education,
shall appoint for each county In the
state, a county board Of education, con-
ssting of five members, two to serve
for two years, two to serve Tor -FOUR
years, and one to serve for six years,
and until their respective successors
have been elected and qualified. The
successors of the said members of the
said county board shall be chosen by
the electors of the county for term Of
six years each, two at the general elec-
ton in 1904, and every six years there
after; two at the general election in
1906, and every six years thereafter;
and at the general election In 1908, and
every six years thereafter: Provided,
however, That candidates for these
positions shall not be assessed in any
primary elections. Vacancies shall be
filled by the county board of education
itself, until the next general election.
Sec. 2. That each member of the
county board of education shall receive
for attendance on it's meetings, 50 per
diem, and cents for each mile Of nee
essary travel going to and from the
meetings, for not more than ten meet
ings in any one year, the per diem and
mileage to be paid by the county treas
urer out of the ordinary funds of the
county, upon the warrants Of the chair
man of the board, audited and APPROX
ed as other county claims.
Sec. 3. That the county board Of ed
ucation Of each county, appointed as
herein provided, shall meet and organ
ize by electing one Of its members

encyclopedia. Discussing this charac-
teristic the other day, he said that 1t
was entirely due to the fact that when
he was a boy his stock Of literature
was very small and that what he read
he was forced to remember. In this
way he mastered many chapters of the
Bible and could repeat scene after
scene from Shakespeare by heart.

they forget half Of what they do read"

murderers will never be punished. If
his death shall result in the suppression
of the practice of hazing at West Point,
it will not have been in vain, and If
hazing is not stopped in any other way,
then we agree in the suggestion that 1t
will be good idea to close up the war
school and try to find some other
means for the training of soldiers.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-01-19

THERE is a great deal said for and
against the practice Of hazing fresh
men in college. The principal argument
in favor of hazing is it's effect in taking
false pride" out of the newcomer.
That is about the best excuse that can
be offered. We have seen more or less
hazing, and our recollection is that it
was only practiced by the most brutal
bullies in the academy-cowards who
took a delight in seeing a helpless vic
tim suffer. AS to whether Cadet Booz
was really murdered at West Point will
probably never be fully established. 1t
is likely that he was, and also that his

arm torn off near the shoulder, Medical
aid was summoned and the injured menu

that he was about toput on belt which
had jumped off and in doing so did not
get himself in the right position and was

to by the doctors he did not seem to suf-

was injured internally, which had as
much to do with his death as anything.
He was young man barely over the
