Bachman Chapel and Union Academy Chips

We promised some time ago that we
would report in full the names with the
amounts of all those who contributed to-
ward buying the organ for Bachman
Chapel church. -. ......
We first state that the organ has been
bought, paid for and placed in the
church. We have made several efforts to
obtain all the lists so as we could verify
our promise; not that we desire to make
public show or blow of it, but as we
were placed on committee to purchase
the organ, we know of no better way of
showing the. appreciation Of the mem
bers and how the money was applied
than to MAKE public acknowledgements
with full report. s.
We understand that there were SIX
lists in circulation, but we have not been
able as yet to receive but four. We learn
that there is some objections to publish

will be glad at any time to report them.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The time has come for Us to con-
slider the necessity of enacting COM
pulsory education law. The State
cannot afford to permit children to
grow up in Ignorance. If parents
are not alive to their duty, the intel
ligence and conscience of the State
should be equal to the protection of
these unfortunate children and of
the social whole. A moderate law
would yet be a great advance. It
should require that every child be-
tween the ages of 8 and IL attend
school at least IL weeks in the year.
This law would insure only 36 weeks
of schooling to each child, equal to
one session of nine months. In this
CONGESTION I call attention to the
resolution of the State Teachers
association, and the very able address
OF DR.. B. F. Wilson on this subject,
both of which are published i'll this
volume. ri.

pie who have never received any OF
the benefit of it and where it will dc
the most good. A small appropria-
ton could be made for Federal road
building, say in each county, and
this, supplemented by State and
county and possibly even township
aid, would in a. short time give to the
people of this country such a system
of public highways as the world has
never seen.
I was greatly impressed with this
scheme when it was proposed at
GreenvilIe and I have thought about
it a great deal since. The more I
think about it the more heartily in
favor of it do become. I believe it
will meet with the approval of any
man who will give it consideration.
I hope The News and Courier and
other papers of the State will take
up the question and sgitate it, and
I want to see our Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress comply with
the resolution adopted at GreenVille.
I hope there will be a large atten-
dance at the meeting of the Good
Roads Convention which is to be
held at Charleston on, February 3.
Every one who was at Greenville
should 60 to Charleston and as many
more as can possibly do so.
The question Of good roads vitality
concerns the whole State and if we
will continue the good work COM
menced at GreenVille much practical
good can be accomplished.

Charleston bears the palm and
Richland comes second. ...
Evidently to have an effective sys-
tenn ofschools throughout the State,
we need to spend at least twice
what we now spend on teachers.
Then the average salary for the teach
ers would be little more for white
teachers and q little less for negroes
than in Richland at present. The fig
ures would then beS377.82 andSl6O.-
SO, and would be still far below the
average in Charleston county. From
such reflections we should have

ANNUAL REPORT OF TIE STATES LIZ

Board Makes It's Report to the Governor
-The Gross Profits Stated.
THE State, 2nd.l

Late last night the annual report
of State board of directors ofthe dis
pensary for the year just closed was
made public by the chairman OF the
board, Mr.. L. J. Williams. 1t reads
as follows:
To his Excellency, M. B. McsWeeney,
Governor of South Carolina:
We have the honor to submit to.
you, for your information and also
that of the general assembly, this our
report of the business done by the
dispensary during the fiscal year
closing Nov. 80, 1901.
Examination of the various &C.
counts attached hereto, will show that
the total amount of cost Of liquors.
wines and beer, ETC., purchased
during the year has amounted to 81.
617, ,973.47, and that our gross sales
have amounted to S2,328, ,68l. d Tex
elusive of sales of fresh beer by beer
dispensers(.
The net profit (to the State for
account of the school fund is Slz0,-
962.25. The net profits, that have
accrued to the counties and towns,
divided equally, are s424, 285:S,
which makes total net profit OF
$545, ,248.12 for the year, on account
of the school fund and towns aud
counties.
We have for some time felt 9 &C.
rious need of more warehouse and Of
fee room, and also safe and com.
modious FIRE proof vault for the ssor-
age and preservation Of our perma-
nent records. Consequently We have
had constructed more storage c'pac-
lty, and also a convenient two story
Office building with commodious
and up-to. date fire. proof vault, which
has cost $l4,4948l, besides other
petty Improvements.
The act approved, Feb. l9, l9OO,
forbids us to make more than 10 per
cent, profit on account OF the school
fund, and the past year We have
made on that account in round fig
ures 6 per cent. which leaves only
very small margin with which to run
the business, and while it is true that
the school fund is considerable,
amounting at present TO $6n 354 50,
it is available very slowly for pay
ment to the schools, as that Is our
only working capital.
We are gratifed to be able to show
such a high per centage Of net profits
on the business done, especially as
the price of liquors have been very
high on account of the high rate OF
grain, while we have not made any
advance in the price to the consumer.
The system seems to be in very
thorough working order in all its de-,
tails.

ANTITRUST Law.
Attorney General Bellfnger's Letter TO Leg
islature-National Antitrust Law
u. Farce. 49,

Attorney General Belinger has
prepared his letter to the legislature
giving an account Of his inyessiga-
ton into the status Of the Virginia
Carolina Chemical company in this
state. He has reviewed the state
anti trust law and that of the United
States, which he characterizes as
'tfutile attempt, which, had the con-
gress been deliberately conspiring to
get credit under false pretenees for
hitting at the trusts, they could not
have done better than they did. de
suggests number of changes in the
present law, especially as to tho for
bidding one corporation to own stock
of another, or to do banking busl-
ness unless ii was a bank that ap-
piled; forbidding the mortageor sale
of the franchise given to one corpor-
alton by the state to another; re-
quiring the publlcationof OF the names
AID residents of all the stockholders.
The paper is very strong one and
will create a sensation in the legis-
lature.

SENATORS cENsURED.
Action Taken by the Senate Upon the TILL
man McLaurin Incident of Feb
ruary 22d.

Washington, March 1.-Senators Nc
Laurin and Tillman,- of South Caro-
ina, yesterday were severely CEN
sured by the United States senate
Tor the sensational personal encoun-
:er between the two senator's on the
loor of the senate last Saturday dur
ng the consideration of the Philip
pine tariff bill. The adoption of the
resolution of censure probably closes
he incident, so far as Senator Nc
Laurin or the senate is concerned.
Immediately after the senate con-
7ened yesterday Senator Burrows,
chairman of the committee on priv
leges and elections, to which the
McLaurin-Tillman controversy had
oeen referred, reported the resolution
IF ccnsure framed by majority OF
the committee. Accompanying the
resolution was a report setting out
the conclusions of the majority. GA
brief statement was presented by
Senator's Bailey, Blackburn, Pettus,
NJ. ]. Foster and Dubois, democratic
members of the committee, dissent
ing from some of the conclusions of
the majority. They agreed, however,
to the resolution offered.
A minority report was presented by
Senators McComas, Beveridge and
Pritchard, republicans, who maine
tanned that the adoption of a resolu-
ton of censure was not sufficient
punishment.
Practically there was no debate on
the resolution, although Senator Gal
linger and Senator Plat, of Connecti-
cut, made it evident by brief state
ments that the resolution was not
quite satisfactory to them. The reso-
luton was adopted by a vote of 81
to IL.
Senator Tillman was asked if he
would have anything more to say re.
garding the action of the senate. He
replied: "No, I'm DONE"
