South Carolina Legislators on
Child Labor.

The employment of children in
cottol. mills and in other indus
trial enterprises in South Carolina
will be one of the chief subjects to
be considered ty the South Caroli-
ma legislature at it's session this
month. A great deal of attention
has been given the matter, and it
is believed that the Legislature will
endeavor to have a better under
standing Of the conditions as they
exist il this state today.
The enormous increase in the
cotton manufacturing industry
and the employment of such a
large number of operatives have
naturally brought many children
into the mills, and there is a desire
on the part of the lawmakers to
see that the children are not put
to work too young. Mr.. F. H. Nc
Master, a membsr of the legisla.
ture from Charleston county, has
just returned to that city from an
extended tour through the mill
sec ion and has gathered bulk
of information which will be pre-
sented to the assembly when the
child labor question is taken up.
Mr.. McMaster says that he went
to the mill district impressed with
the idea that legislation restrict
ing the employment of children IN
the cotton mills was imperative,
but admitted that he returned with
his ideas. somewhat shaken. He
says he is inclined to believe tina,
if legislation is required it should
be more in protection of the mills
than against them. He says the
condition of the mil people is ex.
cellent, and he is unable to see
just how this can be improved.
At the Pelzer Manufacturing
lCompany's mills, one of the larg-
est concerns in the country, opera
tives employed are made to sign
an agreement that their children
between the ages of five and twelve
years will be kept in the schools
provided by the company, and af-
ter passing the age of twelve the
children will be put to work in the
mill and kept there under the d.
lrection of the superintendent
This rule is said to be satisfactory
and the Pelzer schools are filled
with children who a-e given an
early education before they are
started in for their life work.
Others members of the legisla.
ture are ,nducting quiet lnvesti.
cations, and it is thought that
great attention will be given the
question when it is called up by
the assemhly.-Atlanta News.

tnis hobby through the campaign.
It is ore thing to say, that .he
farms should be sold, and another
thing to get an individual to buy
the land at it's proper valuation.
For it is reclaimed from the Wa
teree by dikes, and convict labor lie
valuable in keeping up these en-
bankments. On the other hand
the people of the State are de-
manding better highways. Just
within the past few years has this
been On industry of the State, and
the experiments have been 50 en-
couraging that some people would
employ all convicts except. those
sentenced for life terms, in build
ing permanent country roads. The
convicts who are sentenced for
life could be used on nearby farms,
under close surveillance, to make
just enough to provision the peni-
tentiary. The leasing of convicts
to individuals is becoming very
Objectionable.
The arrangement of congression-
al districts may occasion a big
fight at this session. When the
late Mr.. 81. 9. Patton pushed his
bill, urging that the present "shoe-
string districts were unnecessary
and inconvenient, it was urged by
the opposition that it were best to
wait until after the census had
been taken.
Not only has the census been Ia
ken, but the lower house of the
national congress has passed the
Burleigh bill which, although it
will not interfere with South Car
olina's representation, prescribes
that all congressional districts
must be compact and of contigu-
GUS territory. The fight will not
be on the question of redistrictiag,
but on the shaping of these dis
tricts.
The seven districts of this State
are each formed of contiguous ter
ritory, but are not compact, and
the people embraced are not hon.
ogeneous. The people of Chester
field, for instance, have not much
in common with the people of
Cherokee. The people of the sand
hills of Richland know little of
the people of Classy Mountain in
Greenville. These long "shoe-
string" districts were formed un-
der the system of gerrymandering
made necessary in order to over
come black majoritiesin the lower
tier of counties, but the necessity
has passed away under the exist
ing suffrage laws and The Burleigh
bill says the districts must be
compact.
1t is highly probable. that the
matter will be disposed of at this
session. for it will then be but lit
tie over a year until the next pri-
mary campaign and aspirants for
congressional honors will want
time in which to set their sails.
The Patton bill, it is said, will
be the basis upon which the redis-
trict;ng will be made. However,
this measure meets re-
quirements so far az the grouping
of territory and peoples is con-
cerned, it can be improved upon
in getting districts more nearly
alanced in population.

NEW TALES ABOUT
- HON. TONI WATSON,
The Big Farming Interests He
Owns in McDufie County,
Heis a Fiddler and a Good
One, ToO--Not TO Retire
From the.

From the.
At the Appling Christmas cele-
bratlon which was held the other
day in Columbia county 1 hap
pened to unusual good luck in
meeting one of MI. Watson's best
and oldest friends, and from him
1 learned some new tales about the
famous Georgian.
1t was rather surprise to me
to learn that the McDufie lawyer
was q fiddler and q left-handed
one, at that.
Mr.. Watson has a country home
near my informant's plantation,
and one evening there was $50
cial" at Mr.. Watson's home, to
which all the neighbors had been
invited. After the crowd had tir-
ed themselves with plays on the
lawn they decided to go in and
have some music.
All went well enough for awhile.
Then came an interruption and
the guests looked up startled to
see Mr.. Watson enter with fine
violin in his hand. He told them
be thought he'd come in and join
the fun, and then they listened 10
some excellent renditions perform
ed with the left hand by the big
politician.
Mr.. Watson is big farmer,
though but a few people know it.
His revenue from his farm in 1900
was about $4,000, and by this it
will be seen that be knows as much
about farming as politics.
He owns the following planta-
tions in McDufie county. "The
Old Watson Homestead" 5000
acres; "Gold Mine Place." 600
acres; "Cloud Place." 800 acres;
Sturgis Place." 1000 acree;
Hamilton Place." 1000 acres;
"Wilsou Place." " 300 acres; "Har-
ris Place." 800 acres; Gross
Roads" 400 acres; Hobbs
Place." 800 acres, and 1000 acres
in Columbia county, making over
1000 acres as his land holdings
Mr.. Watson has faith in Geor-
gia lands, and it ie said to be his
ambition to own McDufie county
if money can buy it. He has spent
$4,000 buying lands during the
last two years.
There is some talk to the effect
that Mr.. Watson expects to quit
the law business as soon as he gets
through with his present legal en-
gagements, but I have positive
proof that he already has other
big cases in hand and that he is
listed with the attorneys for two
or three years more at least.
Mr.. Watson is easily disturbed
and some time ago one of the
neighbours children owned a moi
sey little "fice" dog, which was
eternally interrupting him during
his writing hours.
Finally one day the the litera-
teur-lawyer, driven to the last
stage of endurance, dashed his
pen aside, walked out of his study
and over to where the lad who
owned the obnoxious dog was.
F'I'll give you five dollars for
thai dog" said Mr.. Watson.
call right" said the boy.
Turning to an idle negro Mr..
Watson said:
"Ill give you dollar to take
that dog out of town and kill It."
81 think you are dead forever
politically" said one of Mr.. Wat
cons bosom friends to him short
time ago.
"You are wrong" answered the
statesman, IT will arise to more
glory than ever I've enjoyed. Some
people say I am living in seclu-
sion, but I am coming money eve-
ry minute and money talks. mo,
I am not dead by any means"
And there isn't anybody but
