COUNTY OFFICERS SALARIES.

The fee bill which passed the SEN
ate has made some changes in the
OF the officers of Union
county among others. The salary Of
the auditor remains at $500, with a
foe Of 25 cents allowed for every deed
he records. The Supervisors salary
remains ut the small amount Of 5000.
The Treasurers, who formerly got
5000 salary, has been cut to $500,
and is allowed SO cents fee for each
delinquent taxpayer instead OF 81.
Tho sheriff and clerk who have here
tofore been on fees have been put on
a salary, the sheriff 1,5OO and 20
cents for dieting, instead of 80 cents,
as heretofore. This does not include
civil work nor the town work. The
clerk Of court has been put on sal
ary Of $400 outside Of the civil work.
An effort is being made to change
these amounts so as to give the treas
urers little more. They certainly de-
serve more. They have to give heavy
bond and the duties Of Unions Treas
urer at least has increased hundred
fold in the last ten years but the pay

The biennial sessions bill went
through the House with a big ma
jority and only lacked one vote Of
passing the Senate. The excuse was
that the judges would have to be Sc
lected each year, which Mr.. Ehrd,
the author Of the bill, declared was
a very fimsy excuse. He is in favor
of submitting the matter to vote Of
the people. If it is thus submitted
we predict biennial sessions as a
result. The people think it is get
ting high time to economic, and we
think they will be heartily in favor
of session every two years instead
OF every year. $1,000 day for forty
days means something to the tax
payer, and we have about as many
laws now as we need aud apparently
more than we can enforce.

The bill introduced by Senator
Herndon advocating Cheap John
printing, regardless Of circulation and
responsibility, was killed, and very
properly, by an overwhelming major
ity. We take the position that the
legislators are the servants of the
whole people; that when it is neces-
sary to give publicity to business of
State or county, that a medium
should be used which will, as near as
it is possible to do, reach the whole
people, so that the information may
be general, for this service the State
or county should pay reasonable
rate, as neither the State nor county
are obje cts Of charity, and We cannot
see why they should ask for special
concessions, or enter into a cut-throat
and price-slashing business, which
can but result in an inferior service,
which cannot attain ths ends aimed

The House tuesday, by a vote Of
81 to % refused to strike out the en-
acting words Of the child labor bill
which had been made special order
for that day. This, while it does not
necessarily mean the success OF the
bill, waS, at the same time, a great
victory for the advocates Of the bill.
Some OF the members lost their tenn
pers in the discussion. There is no
denying OF the fact that it is serious
ly injurious to the health OF young
children to be housed up all day in
q clos ed room where dust and lint is
filing the air they breathe. Besides
this child canno5 be expected to
develop, 'inatureI when it is
kept constantly at work In such con-
finement from morning till night.
1t is stated that there are &c, 600
more negro children going to school
in this State than white children. If
this thing continues the day may
come when the n-gro will be the voter
and the factory people disfranchised
on account of educational qualifica-
ton. 1t is too true that in many
cases the dollar seems of more i'm

cleerfully thrown open In summer
and lake the homestead delightful
with all those little arts parents so well
understand. Do not repress the buoy
ant spirits of your children. Hall an
hour OF merriment within doors, and
merriment OF home, blots out the re-

Two Million Baskets
- - Made in 1902.
obs Ballou Basket Works one Of Belongs
Fine Industries How They
Manufactured.

The Basket Works is one of Bel
ding's best industries, 1t runs all the
year round, and good wages are paid
the help employed there. The com
pany is enjoying an.extra good season
although the coal strike has had
tendency to make the sale OF coal
baskets slow; but even these have had
a better sale than was expected ow'
ing to the strike; if the business con
tinues at the same rate for the next
two months, as in the past one month
the next years business will be equaI
to the two years past.
A new veneering machine has beer
ordered, along with several automatic
mac hines for making common bushe
baskets, for peaches etc, which Will
reduce the labor for making, but will
not reduce the help any as it will in
crease the output.
In the laundry and mill baskets
which are made in factory No. l.
second growth ash logs are used, the
logs are first split open and quartereo
then quarter sawed into bars which
run the full length of the log, getting
grains for each years growth, that
appears in layers the entire length OF
bar, and by pounding with the power
hammer made for this purpose, the
grain, become loooened and seperate
one from the other, making the long
tough basket splints, which are
smoothed up by special machinery
and are then ready to be woven into
baskets: these are afterwards season
ed, the splints driven down tightly to-
gether and he straps, pins and shoes
in tnrn are applied in regular order
The baskets are then ready for ship
ment.
In the manufacture of the common
bushel or peach baskets, beech, maple
and common elm logs are used; being
cut the proper lengths, according &c
the respective parts for which they
are to be used; after boiling them fol
twenty-four hours they are put in the
veneer lathe and cut into basket stock
in a continuous sheet This sheet be
ing divided into the required widths
by what is known as a iointer The
rims, handles etc are bent by specia
machinery and the stock having al
been taken through the mailing room

baskets; the bottom hoops and hand
les being next applied, and the bas-
ket having been dried, is then ready
for shipment.
In the canvas department which Is
a recent addition to the business
known as factory No. 2, the mill and
laundry baskets are similar to those
in size and shape made from pounded
ash, very heavy grade of canvas
duck Is used in connection with tenn
pered spring steel for the frame,
which fit in sleeves of the body of the
basket, the regular wood rim and hard
wood runners are rivited to the bot
tom of the frame, the whole making a
very handsome as we'll as an extreme
ly durable basket. 1t is anticipated
that in time as ash becomes scarce,
it will be necessary to meet the grow
ing demand to substitute these canvas
baskets, as. the consumer seemingly
very readily takes to the goods.
The coal bags manufactured in this
department are covered by a patent,
andsdiffer very materially from any
thing else on the market. The pro-
cess of manufacture is simple as the
canvas after being cut, the work OF
making them being done by several
large sewing machines, which the
company have in operation. Owing
to the coal strike only limited bust
ness has been done in this line in the
past two months but there is no doubt
with the splendid facilities this COM
pany have, as soon as the coal ques-
ton is back TO normal conditions that
many thousands of these goods will be
made.
The company does the largest bust
ness OF. braided work that is done by
any factory in the country, and the
goods that are made here are consid-
cred to be the best that are made in
the United States, are endorsed and
used by the government
The company have turned out about
, million baskets this year and the
plant is one Of which our city may
feel proud.

Too often.

In this life we pass through all the
shifting scenes OF humor and pathos
OF comedy and tragedy, from the laugh
ing and dancing morning Of youth into
the shadowy evening of old age. The
world applauds US il we triumph; 1t de-
spises us II we fail. Too often il gives
the need of praise to its benefactors
only when they are under the sod :.
What strange and cruel philosophy !
What do the words OF praise avail to
lift the shadow off our path no long
err pressed by weary feet? What are
the songs worth to hearts that lie still
10 the songless dust2 Why fill the
hands of the dead with flowers which
we have withheld from the living, and
then, with tears, bend over the pallid
face and whine "She looks so natural?r
II you love to give, give TO the living.
IL you have blessings to bestow, bestow
them on the living. None but God
can bless the dead. Who would not
rather have one smile today than to
know that a million roses would be
heaped upon his coffin should he die
tomorrow? Who would not rather re-
joice among the flowers OF love while
he lives than TO sleep the dreamless
sleep beneath wilderness of flowers?
God speed the day when the spirit Of
love shall fall upon the world like the
light OF the morning, until all uations
shall burst into laughter and song
