No Time Limit.

If man owes woman anything
he might as well pay up, for even
the gates of death will not prevail
against her. Ten years ago Ellen
Brewer was divorced from her hus-
band at Emporia, and the court
awarded her certain amount of
alimony. The alimony the husband
did not pay, and, as the years
elapsed, the divorced wife seemed to
have forgotten the debt due her.
But the other day Mr.. Brewer died,
and thcrcupon Mrs. Brewer attached
the property which had been exempt
under the law while he was living.
She has been sustained by the court,
and will now get the full amount
awarded in the suit for divorce.-

We find the following in the Green
vile News taken from the New York
Evening Post on the mill situation in
the South. The News says the writer,
a MIR. Taylor, is prominent citizen.
Mr.. Taylor says: GAS to children IN
der twelve years old working in the
mills, there are probably few in nearly
every mill in this state. The actual
figures show an insignificant and de-
creasing per centage of the total num-
number of operatives. They are not
desirable help, and majority of mill
presidents would be glad to have them
shut out of the mills by law" If that
be true why is it that all the mill presi-
dents as soon as bill is proposed to
shut them out by law rush to Columbia
and appear. before committees and
lobby against the passage Of such a
law. We have co1tended all the while
that it was better for the mills as we'll
as for the children to prohibit child Ia
Dor and the more we think of it the
stronger we become in favor of legisla-
ton. We have been unable to under
stand why the mill presidents all fight
80 bitterly and so strongly any legisla-
ton along this line when they will all
tell YOU that they do not care for child
labor as it is not profitable. The mill
owners had better consent to some wise
measure on the subject and let it pass
the next legislature without opposition.

squarely. The streets are in bad condi-

building so as to get rid of some of the
