RECENT DEATHS.


Lena, eldest child of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
erick G. Shepard, died quite suddenly
Wednesday morning of oedematous
laryngitis. She had been slightly i'll for
several days, but the Eual illness was OF
only few hours duration. Lena was
IA years old and was very popular with
her Young friends at the Union school
and the Free Baptist Sunday school, OF
which she was a member. The funeral
was held at the house Friday afternoon,
Rev. r. L. Duston officiating. The es-
TEEN in which she was held was mani
tested by the large number Of beautiful
flowers contributed by friends, among
them being IA carnations from her Sun
day school class. Mr.. and Mrs. Shepard
will have much sympathy in their be-
reaVement.

CHILD LABOR.

The question of child labor in
our industrial establishments is
giving our political thinkers
much concern. It is a problem
that should not be worked on
sentimental lines, but one which
should be gravely considered.
Like all other questions this, has
two sides-the sentimental and
the practical. Those favoring a
law prohibiting the employment
of children in cotton mills, sim
ply content themselves with
what they designate ':humani-
tartan standpoint" we have
never seen where they offer
anything to protect these chill
dren from suffering when they
are taken from employment.
Compulsory education cannot be
operated in this State, and the
reason is obvious, therefore
there is no guarantee that the
children taken by law out of the
mills would go to school. If they
do not go to school, and are not
allowed to work, we would like
to know how those favoring the
law are going to prevent vaga-
bondage? We know that many

grip, obtained by a desire on
the part Of the people to get re-
lief, while they were in the any
port-in-a -a-storm condition. Il d
ready to grasp almost any kind
Of a promise, that politicians
could invent.
The little court house rings,
with their henchmen, in and
out of town, are fearing the rls-
ing up of the people with the
cry "clean sweep" They are
''trembling in their boots" lest
some daring individual comes
forward to lead, and drive them
from their occupations. There
is a political revolution brewing,
and two years hence, it will
burst forth in its fury. The
frauds perpetrated in the recent
primary in nearly every county
in the State are now, and will
continue, to rankle in the breasts
of the people whose suffrages
were stolen, and when the next
primary comes off, methods will
he adoDted to prevent these out
rageous frauds. Counties that
polled a vote in excess of their
white voting population are
known, and will be kept under
suspicion: means will be found
to correct the evil, and by 1906
the primary system will be freed
from it's rottenness, so that the
choice of the people honestly
expressed, can be obtained, or
done away with altogether. We
favor the primary system, and
will do all we can to purify it;
we believe it is the best way of
letting the people have a voice
in the government, but when it
becomes so that the majority are
to be robbed by ':Repeaters" or
"ballot- box stuGing," and by vot-
ing men who did not go to thepolls
and the returns show more votes
than there are legal voters, it is
time for honest men to come to
the front and do something for
their country.

1t begins to look as if the
Democrats in the various States
of the Union are turning their
backs upon Organism, and get
ting. back to where they were
when led by Grover Cleveland.
Free silver is no longer the bat
tie cry, and "tariff forrevenue on
ly" will again be the song of De-
mocracy. Just as soon as the anti
free silverites succeed in con-
trolling the next national con-
vention, we look for Teller,
Dubois, Pettigrew and the rest
of the Republicans now sitting
in Democratic councils to go
back to their first love-the re-
publican party. 1t is this ag-
gregation of statesmen which
now have a powerful influence in
weighing down the Democratic
party. Teller was chairman of
the commission which robbed
Samuel J. Tilden of the presi-
dency in 1876, the first president
the Democratic party elected
after the war, Dubois was chair
man of the Republican steering
committee in congress about
six years ago, and Pettigrew is
an anarchist elected to the SEN
ate by Republicans and Popu-
lists, these men hold high seats
in the Democratic caucus of
which J. K. Jones presides over,
and in which John L. McLaurin
refused to enter. The next
national convention will scrape
these barnacles off from the
Democratic ship and perhaps
with a safe captain at the helm
the party may be guided into a
haven of victory.

arc advocating a child labor bill,
believing it to be right, but there
are many more advocating it,
because they believe it popular.
We cannot see where the good
will result to the children by
such legislation, and therefore
believe it is a matter which can
be more satisfactory adjusted by
the parents and the managers Of
the mills. If we could success
fully enforce a compulsory edu-
cation law, without bankrupting
the State we would be willing to
take the chances of providing
food to those compelled to go to
school, but to take these children
away from work, and not have
them go to school, would in our
opinion be doing greater damage
than to let them work out their
destiny in their own way.
we take no StOck IN leSlSIa-
tion which is calculated to create
discomfort among labor, it has a
tendency to encourage idleness,
and it breeds an element that
thrive on clashes between labor
and capital, it brings about
strikes and suffering, and the
laborer is the one who does the
suffering. These labor agitators
are like politicians, and are con-
stantly figuring to create issues
between the employer and the
employee and by this means they
secure their means of livlihood;
they organize unions: get sal
aried positions, and out Of the
fees paid in by those who toll
and sweat these fellows grow

DON'T NEED THEM,

Among the many recommen-
dations by the press for the con-
sideration of our legislators, is a
proposition to establish county
courts, a measure Of the sort was
introduced before and we op-
posed it on the ground that it
would only add to the expenses,
and furnish jobs for lawyers who
cannot make a living at the
practice. Our present system
might be greatly improved by
giving the magistrate at the
county seat greater jurisdiction
in criminal cases. Let him have
the power to try cases which III
fiicts a penalty Of two years on
the chaingang; when this is
done, the people would recognize
the Importance of the office and
would select competent men for
the place, and they would be viii
ling to pay salary to compen-
safe a competent man to the office.
If the jurisdiction of the court
house magistrate is extended,
that officer would try most of the
cases which are now tried by the
circuit court and which causes
the dockets to be so congested
that civil cases are very seldom
reached. The courts are kept
busy with offenders that could
very we'll be tried in an inferior
tribunal without detriment to the
rights of the accused.
If county courts are establish
ed it would necessitate the draw
ing Of jurors monthly, the SER
vices of a county prosecuting
attorney, and other officers, all
of which would greatly add to
our taxes, and in our opinion
would work very unsatisfactory.
The only good we can see in the
establishment of county courts,
is to open up a pension bureau
for members of the legal pro-
fession, who have not the ability
to build a practice, or who have
not the character to inspire the
confidence, which is necessary
for people to entrust them with
their business. To be a Judge
of a county court a man would
have to be a member of the
Bar, and so would also the
prosecuting attorney, thus it
will be seen that the county
court project is solely in the in
terest of the legal profession;
everybody knows that a lawyer
with reputation and practice
would not accept a county Judge
ship at a salary of $500 or $500
a year, if he has any standing
at all he would make in his prac-
tice many times that sum, there
fore it must be seen that to get
poor material for these places
the people would be better off
without it.
Our magistrate system is all
right, the country magistrates
could try the minor cases, and
when a case of gravity arises,
they could send it to the court
house magistrate who with the
jurisdiction as suggested could
try the case, and relieve the
circuit court, and the people of
the expense of jail fees, and
several days jury pay.

There IS a great amount of
stress being put by. the Demo-
cratic press, on Speaker D. B.
Henderson's declining the nomi-
nation for reelection. It looks
like there is some disaffection
in the speakers district on &C
count of the tariff: and as he is
not in accord with the declara-
tions of the platform Of his party
on this question he wouldnot run.
Whether the Henderson Incl
dent is a pointer going to show
that sentiment is veering around
towards a Democratic congress
we do not know. but that is the
impression the Democratic news
papers would make. Suppose
the coming congressional elect
ions show a Democratic tidal
wave and gives an everwhelm-
ing Democratic majority, what
would 1t amount to, further
than a change of personality?
The senate is Republican, and
the Democrats in the lower
House could do nothing. In our
opinion, with the senate in con-
troll Of one party and the House
by another, the people get be-
tween the upper and neither
stones and suffer for the need Of
legislation which they cannot
get on account of party jealousy
or advantage. If Speaker Hen
derson's retirement had taken
place on the eve Of a president
ial election it might have given
US some advantage, but we can
see very little in it at this time.

Waiting.
Puerto Cabello. Saturday, Dec. "a
The British cruiser Charybdis and the
German cruiser Vineta bombarded the
fortress here at 8 o'clock this after
noon and silenced it. The lombard
ment lasted for forty-five minutes. The
fortress is composed of Fort Solano and
the Castle Libertador. After the fir
ing ceased, the Charybdis sent marines
to occupy the castle. The fortress was
almost demolished. 1t is probable that
only few persons were injured by the
Smelling. The commander of Castle
Libertador has been taken prisoner.
The cruisers are still here.
AZ Z O'Clock this morning the Charyb-
dis and the Vineta arrived here
searching for Venezuelan gunboats. The
two eurisers sent their boats into the
inner port, but, finding no gunboats,
the boats returned. The captain of the
British merchant steamer Topaz, which
was seized by the mob last Wednesday,
then visited the British commodore on
board the Charybdis and lodged a pro-
test against the violation of his ship.
The British captain returned an hour
later with detachment of fifty ma
rines, who took charge of the Topaz.
The populace was greatly excited at
L

The British commodore then sent a
message to the authorities at Puerto
Cabello demanding immediate satisfac-
ton for the action of the mob in hav-
ing hauled down the British flag from
the custom house, saying if this salts
faction was not forthcoming in two
hours at clock, the fortress and the
custom house would be bombarded. on
the receipt of this demand the authori-
ties sent a message to President Cas-
tro asking for instructions.
A committee of the merchants of
Puerto Cabello then approached the
American consul here, petitioning him
TO intervene. The consul accepted this
mission and visited the cruisers. but
he could obtain no alteration in the
decision of the allies.
At 5:15 a reply was received from
president Castro, who authorized the
chief official here to give the British
commodore ample satisfaction. Before
this answer could be communicated to
the American consul the hour stipu-
lated for the reply arrived. The
cruisers immediately opened fire on the
fortress. The fire was returned from
Fort Solano and Castle Libertador. but
the Venezuelan guns We're soon silenced.
While the firing confined there was in
