Child Labor Question.

The question of child labor In our cot
ton mills will probably be brought up
again at the coming session of the Legis.
lature. The bill prohibiting ohild labor
in the mills was the most widely dis.
cussed bill at the last session and its
nd gocates succeeded In getting it through
ono branch of the Legislature, and no
doubt will make n united effort at the
coming se". on. ANy
1t is estion which demands the
thoughtful and careful consideration of
law-makers. If the children are prohib.
tied from working in tho mills and no
provision is made for their education and
they are allowed to loaf around the
streets, matters will be made worse in
stead of better And besides it will
work hardship on many q poverty
stricken and deserving family.
Yet, looking at the question from the
other side, In many families children of
tender age are made to support worth
less father, whose only concern Is to see
that he gets all the earnings of his chill
dren, and then in many cases instead OF
putting these earnings to the support Of
the family he throws them away on him
self.
1t is evident that some action must be
taken in the near future which will take
into consideration all these things and
be just, both to the operatives and to the
mills. The question Is most cOmpli-
GATED one, but one that is demanding an
early solution. .-Newberry Herald. and

energy and industry. He Leaves surviv-
ing two sons, j. T.. Cox, of Pelzer, and
Edward Cox, of Montana; three daught.

who reside on the Cox homestead. He
was devoted member of the Presbyte.
rian church for many years. He served
as steward of the poor house for several
terms, and made faithful and capable
officer. After appropriate funeral ser.
vices, conducted in the Westminster
Presbyterian church at twelve O'Clock
to-day, his body was laid to rest beside
his wife, who died three months ago. To
his bereaved children Is extended the
sincere sympathy of many friends.
