To Wage EarncrS
and Others of
Moderate Income

Do not spend your money foolshly
because you have so little of it. but
save what you can from month to
month and invest it in something that
will multiply many fold. The mil
lionaires OF this section We're laboring
men generation ago and they pur-
sued this course while most of their
comrades blew it all in. The pru-
dent ones saw that fuel was a good
thing. that the world had to have
1t. and they bought coal land, a little
at time as they could spare it. and
1t has made them rich. and their fami-
lies live ard will live in the greatest
comfort. while the descendants OF
their imprudent comrades are labor
ing as their fathers did-for day
wages.
Keep this object lesson in mind.
The opportunities of that earlier time
were in coal today greater opportuni-
ties exist in oil, which is fuel In a
more concrete form and is rapidly
supplanting coal. because 1t is easier
and cheaper to mine and handle. and
is. besides being a more economic
fuel for all large consumers. profit
able for a hundred other uses. The
oil of California. is furnishing that
state with cheap fuel, for the lack of
which her progress has been woefully
retarded The entire Pacific coast
will consume oil as a fuel so that
the demand upon the oil fields of Cali
fornia is unlimited. California oil
refiners will hold the markets of the
far East and of the west coast of
South America. 1t is plain to be seen
thar the oil fields of California will
he the source of incalcuiable wealth.
far beyond what the coal mines of
Pennsylvania have been in the past.
All thoughtful, men can see that the
thing to do now to make money is
to buy the shares of conservative. re-
putaby managed oil companies hav-
ing large holdings of undoubted oil
lands secured at low prices, and only
requiring development to become the
source of enormous revenues for
shareholders.
The PACIFIC COAST AND TEXAS
OH. COMPANY has in the most i'm
portant oil fields managers of ability
and integrity and of the highest prac-
teal qualifications for their business.
and the shares of this company are
today, without doubt, the best invest
ment obtainahe. These shares would
he cheap at 40c, but are selling for
the time being at 2Oc per share, to
procure money to bore the first wells.
The price is sure to advance rapidly
to keep pace with the developments
on the company's lands and on ad-
Joining lands. The market value of
the lands is constantly advancing. Do
not delay making an investment in
this stock. AS to the value of this
oil property and the character and
ability of its managers this company

Mr.. King points out that the increase
in production is still more remarkable
If we consider that in 1900 the average
weight per bale was about 225 pounds.
BY 1920 it had increased to 260 pounds,
1910 to 365 pounds, from which period
the weight has steadily increased until
the present average Of about 506 pounds
has been reached.
While our producing power enables
us to supply the world with raw mate
rial, the rapid increase Of our spinning
industry is no less a matter of pride.
In 1850 the quantity of cotton consum-
ed in this country was less than 100000
bales, in 1870 it had increased to 1,O0O,O 900
bales, last year the taking of the mills
amounted to 1865, 1000 bales.
These striking figures, Mr.. King ad-
mits, are very largely the result of re-
cent Industrial enterprise in the South.
And the new century, he says, begins
with a growing demand for American
cotton in the Oriental markets, which
demand promises to open new and
important avenue Of which our produc-
ers and manufacturers will not be slL "
to take advantage. The completion of
the Nicaragua canal is all that remains
to give our cotton free entrance in the
Pacific islands and the far east and
this will be realized before the century
is very old.

DISPATCHES Of the past few weeks
have been telling Of remarkable results
that have been obtained in desperate
cases with the chloride of sodium, or
salt cure. Ex-Mayor Hewitt of New
York, who is in the seventy-ninth year
of his age, was considered to be
at the point of death a few weeks
ago. His physicians had given him
up, until a French physician found
for him in salt Of sodium-Solution of
common table salt-that has since
been termed an elixir Of life. The eX-
mayor was SO benefited by the solu-
ton, along with a combination of glyc-
crime, that he is now considered to have
taken a new lease of life, bidding fair to
live for many years to come. A Wash
ington dispatch Of Wednesday says
that the life of Representative Neville,
of Nebraska has been saved by the ad-
ministration Of hyperdermic injections
Of chloride of sodium. He had been re-
duced almost to the point of death on
account of hemorrhages of the lungs.
The subject is very interesting; but it
is not new. Most of the readers of THE
ENQUIRER will remember that few
years ago a Negro died near Zadok
from loss of blood, occasioned by Sc

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-01-12

afterward there was printed an inter-
view ith DR.. Miles Walker, Of Yorkville,
in which the doctor explained that the
Negroes life could easily have been saw
ed had means been taken to inject, as a
substitute for the lost blood, solution
consisting of about teaspoonful Of COM
mon salt. to quart Of water. DR..
Walker had used the salt cure previ-
ously, and has used it with success on
more than one occasion since. He
made no pretense, however, to any
original discoveries in the matter.
What he said to THE ENQUIRER was
said in a matter Of fact way that car
ried with it the presumption that every
physician was thoroughly familiar
with the subject. These facts make 1t
all the more difficult for THE ENQUIRER
to understand why the papers should
now be exploiting this information as
a new discovery. The matter is in
tensely interesting; but there is GER
tainly nothing new about it.

ALTHOUGH not surprised at the action
of the house in extending the time for
the payment of taxes to March 1, THE
ENQUIRER Is just little disappointed.
There has never yet been any real ne
cessity for a tax extension, and we
have always considered such action as
being unbusinesslike and unfair. 1t
has grown to be custom among many
large taxpayers to send in their taxes
by means Of checks, with the under
standing that if the tax time is en-
tended the checks must not be present
ed It Is understood that this custom
obtains in many counties Of the state.
The government is thus kept out Of it's
money for the benefit Of people most
able to pay up promptly, while small.
taxpayers, unable to take risks, have to
scrape up the cash and pay within the
original limit for fear of being sub
jected to penalties. 1t is sincerely
hoped that the senate will refuse to
agree to the house resolution, and that
the general assembly will finally take
such action as will irrevocably fix the
time for the payment of taxes.

THE CHILD LABOR BILL.


One Of the first bills introduced into
the senate was that relating to child
labor in cotton mills, subject that has
been agitated to a greater or less ex-
tent in this state during the past two
years. The bill, which is the same as
the one introduced last year, was pro-
posed by Senator J. @. Marshall, Of
Richland. The text of it is as follows:
Section 1. That from and after the
1st day of May, 1901, no child under the
age Of IL years, shall be employed in
any factory, mine or other manufacture
ing establishment Of this state.
Sec. 2. Every owner, superintendent,
manager or overseer Of any factory,
mine or other manufacturing establish
ment, and any person in charge there
Of, or connected Herewith, who shall
employ such child contrary to the pro-
visions Of this act, shall be guilty Of q
misdemeanor; and for every such Of
fence, shall, upon conviction thereof, be
fined not less than $40 or more than $50,
or be imprisoned not longer than 80
days days, or both, at the discretion Of
the court.
Sec. 8. That any person, guardian or
other person having under his or her
control any child, who consents, suf-
lers or permits the employment Of his
or her child, or ward, under the age Of
IL years, or who knowingly or willingly
misrepresents the age Of such child or
ward to any Of the persons named in
Section of this act, in order to obtain
employment for such child or ward,
shall be deemed guilty Of misdemean-
or. and for every such offense shall, up
on conviction thereof, be fined not less
IAN $40, nor more than $50, or be i'm
prisoned not longer than 80 days, or
both, at the discretion of the court.
Sec. T. That any widow, without any
other sufficient means of support, who
may furnish to any of the persons
named in Section of this act, certifi-
cate from any reputable citizen of the
county in which she lives, that she is
physically unable to work. or that she
is actually dependent upon the earn
ings of her child or children for a liy-
ing, shall be exempt from the provis-
ions of this act
Sec. S. Be it further enacted, that all
acts and parts of acts, in conflict with
the provisions Of this act, be and the
same are hereby repealed.

mills, and law making attendance up
on school compulsory would have their
cooperation and accomplish desired re-
suits. With our present manufactur-
ing interests and their constant in
crease, this becomes a serious question
and deserves your most earnest consid-
Grafton. It should be considered with
out prejudice or passion and by coun-
selling with those who are interested !
am sure a wise solution can be reach
ed"
There is nothing of especial import
ance in the discussion of the dispensary
question, except the recommendation
that county boards of control be abol-
ished and that their duties be devolved
upon county supervisors and the may
ors of towns in which dispensaries are
located.
The sections devoted to the hospital
for the insane, the penitentiary and the
institute for the blind, give comprehen-
sive summaries Of the condition OF
these institutions. The progress and
improvement in the state militia Is des-
cribed as very gratifying.
The governor thinks that special
courts, to take care Of accumulated lit
igation have proved too expensive, and
that there should be an increase in the
number Of judicial circuits. Attention
is called to the number Of insurance
companies doing business in this state,
together with the vast amount of pre-
miums being paid to them, and the
creation Of the office of insurance ex-
aminer is recommended.
The governor calls attention at
length to the value and Importance OF
a good geological survey of the state,
and he unhesitatingly recommends the
appropriation of $4,000 for the benefit
of the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian exposition.
The concluding portion Of the mes
sage is devoted to the discussion Of the
operations Of the sinking fund commits
sion and the state board of health. I'm
portant recommendations are made as
to both.

SPEAKER STEvENsoN.-When w. F
Stevenson entered the house four years
ago, he was at once regarded as an ex'
traordinary man. His service in that
body is a chain of successes. He was
born in Iredell county, North Carolina
in 1861, of Scotch ancestry. Educated
himself, graduating from Davidson COL
lege with highest honors after having
taken two medals in senior year.
That fall, 1885, he took charge Of thu
High school at Cheraw, and studied law
under General w. L. T. Prince, whose
daughter Mr.. Stevenson married. Sin.
gularly enough a Mr.. Prince was one
of Mr.. Stevenson's competitors yester-
day. He formed a partnership with
General Prince and is now associated
with Mr.. D. S. Matheson.
In the class admitted in 1887 to prac-
tice law were Mr.. Stevenson, Senators
Blakeney and Mayfeld and Represen-
tative Rucker, who nominated Mr.
Prince. Mr.. Stevenson identified HIM
self with the Democracy Of Chester
field in 1888, and has been a valued
member Of the county executive COM
mittee.
He has never been defeated In any
candidacy. Was first an alderman OF
Cheraw and later mayor until elected
to the house. He is a quick debater,
with an incisive manner, and a pecu-
liarly attractive, although awkward,
delivery. His rough and terrible fights
in the house prepared him for the
great contest with the master mind of
the Southern Presbyterian church, DR..
B. M. Palmer. Mr.. Stevenson, though
but q lay delegate to the general as
sembly, which met in DIR. Palmer's
church in New Orleans, worsted the
venerable divine in a discussion Of
church law and polity. Mr.. Stevenson
is now moderator Of South Carolina
synod, the first layman to hold that
position.
Although a conservative" he voted
without regard to faction, and tried
while in the general assembly to oblit-
crate factional lines and to heal old
sores-Columbia State, Wednesday.

linois, New York and Texas three each;
New Jersey and Pennsylvania two

souri,, North Carolina, North Dakota,

that whenever new state is admitted,
the representatives assigned to it shall

in the bill. It also adds proviso, new

tionment bill, to the effect that con-
