money was practically in sight when
the news of the extension was promuT-
gated At news Of the extension, how
ever, about rs per cent. Of the entire
amount has again disappeared.
The county has many obligations
which it is unable to settle at this time
because Of the extension. The people
who hold the claims have, as a rule,
been depending. upon them for the dis
charge Of other obligations, and in this
way the extension has done much
harm. Holders Of mature coupons that
are not paid on presentation, have a
right to demand interest on interest
and the township tax levies have not
contemplated such contingency.
And so 1t goes. Tne tax extension
confers but little real benefit on any
body; but it works much hardship in
that it throws many interests entirely
out of joint.

AN article which will prove Of the
widest interest to all those engaged in
teaching or who may be interested in
education. is one in the January Cos
mopolitan by Elisha Benjamin An
drews, ex-president Of Brown univer-
sity, who for the first time, in lead
ing magazine, has had the courage to
show the great evils resulting from the
private contract school-book system
educational officials corrupted, school
books often the poorest selected, and
the prices paid by the children them
selves Of the highest-an annual tax
going up into the millions which could
be very easily avoided if the proper or
ganization were brought into effect.

WE agree with the Bamberg Herald
when it says: Some newspapers In
this state are having a good deal to
say about. child labor in the cotton
mills, and seem to be trying to work
up agitation Of the question, with a
view to legislation on the matter. The
cotton mills and their operatives seem
to be getting along nicely together. and
there is no reason or excuse for lug
ring this question into the newspa-
pers. rs.'-Spartanburg Spartan.
Yes: but it should not be forgotten
that the cotton mills were threatened
at Union last summer with a peck of
trouble. and it is quite evident that
this child-labor question will be used
as one Of the means Of fulfilling that
threat.

FROM the best information available
on the subject. it appears that the dis
pute between Germany and Venezuela
Is merely a question about an honest
debt. Venezuela owes money to Ger
man citizens and refuses to pay. 1t is
quite possible that Germany is ask
ing for more than she Is entitled to;
but that does not seem to be the issue.
Venezuela has assumed that rather
than allow Germany to resort to force,
the United States would interfere. The
United States. however, has declined
to back the dishonest South American
government and the understanding is
that Germany will go ahead and COL
lect her money.

Moving to the Mills.
Reports from all the cotton mills In
this section are to the effect that there
has never before been such an abund-
ance Of labor. The movement from
the farms to the mills is so general as
to promise an OVERRIDING Of the thing,

use. The inevitable tendency Of such

wooden warship Swartara for the use
of the Liberian government. For va
rious causes however, the order of the
transfer Of the vessel was never car

The volume Of business handled by
the Loan and Savings Bank on last

for a single day. The unusual volume
Of business transacted during the day
is accounted for in part by the fact
that the bank was closed during the
day previous, on which many monthly
and annual settlements were made.
President McNeel, Of the Loan and
Savings bank, gives notice in another
column that the annual meeting Of the

out, 1t is generally understood that the

of it, and the annual meeting Of the
