MR.. ". Il. SANDERS

was first introduced. He stated
same position as yesterday. Was a
farmer and not much given to speak
ing. Child labor was a delicate
question and should be settled by
the mills themselves.
Favored higher institutions but
wanted to pay more attention to COM
mon shoots.
As to good roads, favored them, but
did not want direct taxation for build
ing them if they could be got in any
other way.
He honored and revered the old
soldier and favored as large pension
roll as the State could afford.
MR.. ]. M. TAYLOR
said somehow in this campaign the
whole jackbiling running for the
legislature was jumping at him, but
they always jumped back again. He
took the ground that We should have
the child labor bill. He knew this
question was of no interest to these
people unless they moved to mill,
and if they did that, he would notify
them nine times out of ten they
would be there for life. This bill
in the legislature was advocated by
philanthorpists who saw the mill
children doing such work as would
dwarf both body and mind. Its Oh
iect was to give these few days to 60
to school, to get some preparation
for the active duties of life. This
| bill had been endorsed by the South
Carolina Democratic Convention and
every governor who has presented
himself to the people, and he was
here to defend that bill and to ask
the suffrage of the people to 90 to
Columbia to save the little children

twas true, if there ever was
true gentleman, it was T. J. Nc
Crarv. There were schools and
churches and entertainment and So
ciety halls in West End, put there
by the operatives with the assistance
of a small douation by the authorl-
ties. He stood here representing 315
voters who had said to him, Taylor
for Gods sake make manly fight
for this bill. If T. J. McCrary
could live always there would he nc
trouble. But he is liable to die al
any time, and then might come the
oppression. This question did not
affect the people of the county in thf
least.

was glad to have had the pleasure OF
managing the bill in the House which
placed the whole of Little Mountain
in Newberry County.
He had tried to make record in
his two years. service upon which he
would not be ashamed to ask for re
election. He had made mistakes, as
all men have, but his record was
open to public scrutiny and he was
willing to bear and meet criticism
of it.
Again referred to the "beer dis
pensary bill" and the fact that he
had been accused by senators OF
falsifying in trying to rush it through
by free conference report, and called
attention to the report of the investi.
eating committee, which committee
had, with only five minutes consid-
GRAFTON, fully exonerated him.
Stood, as two years ago, in favor
of biennial sessions, increasing pun.
ishment for violation of labor con-
tracts, and putting ten year prison
ers on permanent chaingang for
building good roads, but all three
measu :es the State senate had con
signed to oblivion.
He admitted that the $10O com
mutation tax was a terrible thing,
and no roads would be worked this
year, but a compromise between the
two houses was necessary in order tc
get general road law.
He was going to discuss child labor
| more fully here today than anywhere
else in the county except at West
End. Had voted against the chile
labor bill twice, and If sent back
would vote against it again. 1t hac
been said by some one that the three
greatest words in the English Ian
guage were mother, home and heav
en-. First comes that noble, granc
word, mother. None is grander anc
no other person on earth is sweeter
than mother. Home comes next
because when bone is under the in
fuence OF a dear sweet mother

or widowed, when her influence Ii

beyond the grave. This bill mean
State lateranlism, and nobody kne7
better what was best for child tha

them in, what did he want with tn

compulsory education, and compul-
sorry education would lead to negro
supremacy.
MAJOR F. W. HIGGINS
was not born here but was not re-
sponsible for that.
! There were issues now confronting
the people as portentous as ever IN
their existence. The people were
each year becoming poorer. The
evil was somewhere, and it should
be discovered.
He first discussed child labor. He
loved children, and would be the last
man to lay another feather upon the
little shoulders that are now being
braced for the burdens of life. But
when we invade the sacred precincts
where the father is king, then we
are guilty of an infringement OF
those principles of justice which have
burned in the breasts of men from the
creation down. Besides, it was class
legislature, say about it what you
please.
There was little use in this pres
ence for him to discuss education.
This grove was dedicated to the
cause of education. Attacked ex-
penditure of appropriations by State
institutions. Compared these with
amounts required by Newberry Col
lege, which we all love, and of which
this grove is almost a part.
Believed, with Mr.. Dominick, in
putting prisoners on chaiDgang, and
putting chaingang to building good
roads.
He paid glowing tribute to the
thin gray line that reached from '6l
to the present, and was in favor OF
caring for the old soldiers as tenderly
as he would care for his father.
Believed in curtailing all other ex,
pense as much as possible, but did
not believe in taking one dollar from
the one-legged or one armed old
Confederate soldier.
He wouldn't promise to reVolu'
tionize anything, but he would
promise to give the best service Of
bead and heart to his people. Some
thing can and must be done
and he would study and apply
himself and strive to do it.

Wells, Wilson and Hodges, in the
order named, made short speeches
and received the close attention of
the audience.
Following came the legislators.
HON. ARTHUR KIBLER
spoke first. Taxation was the ques.
tion that most concerned the people
and that should, therefore, most con-
fcern their representatives. Taxes
we're now too high, but there was not
much chance to reduce them for
years to come. However, the State
was now spending good deal of
money which ought to be diverted
into other channels. Appropriations
for State colleges were too high. Had
voted against bill to give $2OO,-
900 more to the common schools be
cause the people of this State were
not able to bear the burden. A peo-
pie burdened with heavy taxation
can not have material prosperity.
He discussed the child labor bill
at length. 1t was a measure calcu-
lated to undermine the very founds-
tions of government. Men might
speak on the sentimental side, telling
you that it is an awful thing for the
little children to work in the mill.
But they were wrong. The parent,
and the parent alone, was the best
judge of what was best for the child.
Besides, they did not have to work
unless they so wished. The New
berry Cotton Mill has built schools
and three nice churches and pro-
yided teachers for the children of its
operatives, and they certainly would
not have done this if they were
going to require the children to work
in the mill against their will.
Had proposed bill in the legisla
ture providing for an officer to be
known as insurance commissioner,
whose business should be to look
into the solvency Of insurance com
panies.
Half the money that was now ap'
propriated to State institutions
should run them. He believed the
president and the trustees of these
institutions had combination among
themselves, and it was disgusting the
way in which they buttonholed the
members of the legislature. And h'
had been consistent in voting agains
every bill increasing these approprla
tions.

square miles that had been consider
ed safe.
The Skunk River, the most damag-
ed tributary of the Mississippi, is
roaring down with food approach
ed but twice in the history of the
State, in 1851 and 1892. The water
topped the record in 1892 and touch
ed the highest record in 1851. This
river rises in the centre of Iowa and
empties into the Mississippi twenty
five miles north of Keokuk, and
greatly increases the food at points
below.
In the interior of Iowa towns
on the Des Moines and Skunk rivers
were surprised by the rapid rise and
there is much excitement. It was
believed that the recession OF
the food of the first three days of
the week removed all danger and the
people returned to ordinary condi-
tions. The surprise entailinga lack
of preparation, caused much increas-
ed damage. Ottumwa and Coppock
are among the heaviest losers from
this cause.
Railroads in Iowa will be put to
great expense in the maintenance OF
tracks and the safety of trains. The
Burlington and Rock Island systems
are closely patrolled by watchmen at
all bridges and culverts. No damage
has occurred to them on account of
the systematic prevention, but this
has been done at great cost. The
supervisors of Leo, Des Pointes,
Washington, Henry, Jefferson, Wa
pello and Van Buren counties have
men at work trying to save wagon
road bridges, many of which have
already gone out. Losses from this
cause will be very considerable.
Thousands of acres submerged in
Appanoose County, Iowa, and there
is much small grain caught in the
fields. The crop in other places is
chiefly corn. A new element of loss
which has appeared all over the
drowned section of Iowa is disease
among stock from the conditions of
pastures o7erfowed slightly and used
after the temporary subsistence of the
waters.
ILLINOIS STILL RISING.
Peoria, ILL.,, July 19.-The Illinois
River rose over a foot today and is
still going up at an alarming rate.
Should it go one foot higher it will
reach the mark of the food of 1892
and will cause damage to the extent
of thousands of dollars in the city of
Peoria.
