Cyfnplies With the Law.
1The York Cotton Mill company al
ready has such a school for it's opera
tives as is provided for by the McMas-
ter bill. The company erected the school
house, and supplements the public
funds from it's own treasury sufficient
to give 10 months school. The school
is in charge Of Mr.. Paul H. Moore.
thoroughly competent teacher, who
gives faithful service. The only differ
ence between the existing arrange
ment and Mr.. McMaster's proposed
law, lies in the fact that attendance on
the mill school is not compulsory.
Many parents are unable to read and
write themselves, and are, therefore,
unable to appreciate the Importance Of
education to their children.
Winihrop's requirements.
The State, Friday: President D. B.
Johnson and DR.. Crawford, Of the
board of trustees of the Winthrop COL
lege are in the city. They appeared
before the committee on ways and
means in regard to the appropriation
asked for by the college this year. In
speaking of it yesterday President
Johnson said that the college was not
going beyond it's original request in the
matter of the cost of the new dormi-
tory. Last year it asked for so much
money and 100 convicts. The money
was given, but the conVicts Were not.
The present request is merely to make
up the difference. 1t seems that the.
committee will unanimously recon-
mend that the request be granted. The
building Of the new dormitory, which
will provide quarters. the present build
ing included, for 500 pupils, will be
completed in ample time for the open
ing of the next session. 1t is being ac-
complished much cheaper than was eX-
pected.
Diphlhrria.
The reporter learned from DR.. Walk
er yesterday. that the second chlld OF
the Smith woman. whose case was
mentioned Wednesday, recovered from
the attack of diphtheria with which 1t
was suffering. The cases show the re-
markabe efficacy of the anti-toxine
remedy in a way that leaves no room
for doubt. When the doctor was first
called to the woman'S house, 1t was
without any intimation as to what dis
ease he would probably encounter. The
moment he entered the cabin he reallz-
ed that it was diphtheria, and upon eX-
animation of the patient saw that the
lease was desperate; but hoped that it
would last until next day. Another
child was also suffering with the same
disease. DR.. Walker hurried to York
vile for some anti-toxine and returned
without unnecessary delay. When he
got back he found that the first child
was dead and the second was in about
the same condition in which he left the
first. IIe injected anti-toXine. The
next day the patient was much better.
1T was like lifting a drowning person
out of a pond of water" said the doc
tor. In the meantime, still another
child was showing symptoms and the
anti-toXine was injected into this one
also. DR.. Walker did not think yester-
day that there would be any more
deaths. 1t was only question of anti
toxine and he did not propose to allow
the children to die for want OF that.
