THE CHILD LABOR BILL.
strongly Opposed by the south Caro-
lima Manufacturers, Several of
whom speak Against 1t.

Columbia, Jan. 24.-The biggest fight at
this session of the Legislature is on the
question Of child labor. Several bills have
been introduced to prohibit the employ
ment of children in cotton factories, and
The appropriation committees OF both
houses have met in joint assembly 10
hear the arguments of those favorable
and opposed to such legislation. The
leading cotton mill presidents of the
state have appeared before the commit
tees and argued strongly against any ac-
ton. claiming that the agitation is in
spired by the labor unions and that the
present discussion Of the subject is due
particularly to the atmosphere around
Augusta
One of those who has appeared i'm OPP
position is Capt. +. A. Smythe president
of the Pelzer corporation, whose mills
constitute the largest cotton manufacture
ing establishment i'm the South, and
whose unique community is a marvel Of
good government and philanthropy. Num-
erous petitions from the mill operatives
have also been presented, protesting
against the passage of any law on this
question.
Inasmuch as the mill presidents are
strongly organized, they possess a ire
mendous advantage in point of power and
influence and viii likely win the fight
against the pending measures. Some of
them are men of great personal popular
ity and influence, who do not tolerate in
their own mills conditions which exist
elsewhere, and which the proposed law
is intended to remedy. The advocates of
the measure. on the other hand, are I'M
organized, and their fight is desultory in
character.
So far the Legislature has enacted no
important nor interesting legislation.
Last night the alumni of the South
Carolina College held banquet at the
Merchants and Manufacturers Club, al
which preparations were made for the
centennial celebration of the founding of
the college. The celebration will be held
IN June.

nue-Other News Notes.

An accident occurred on WaShburn
street yesterday morning which for
tunately. did not result as seriously as
WAS at first expected. One of Berger
hoffs covered fruit wagons. driven by
Il middle-aged gentleman by the name
of Van Bcrgan. was coming down Hyde
Park avenue at u reasonable rate Of
speed and in crossing Washburn street
the wagon was struck by Il passing
car.
The covering on the wagon probably
prevented Van Bergan seeing the rap
idly approaching car. and the motor
man. supposirg that the wagon would
pass in safety. did not slacken speed
until II was too late to prevent the
accident.
The wagon was struck by the ear in
about the middle and the force of the
shock threw the driver to the pave
ment. where he lay for u few seconds
IN a dazed condition. Gentlemen pass
ing in Il buggy ran to his assistance
and removed him in their carriage to
the West Side hospital. where his in
iuries We're found to consist OF several
severe cuts on the right leg and
bruised fingers. also a number of cuts
on his side. He suffered from the ef-
fccts of the shock, and after his wounds
had been dressed he was taken to his
home in Green Ridge His condition Is
not thought to be serious. although in
ternal injuries may develop.
The wagon was smashed. The horses,
however escaped being injured A large
number of people witnessed the acc-
dent, and for some time the widest
excitement prevailed.
