A sad and pitia'ole scene was wit
messed here last week at the pre-
liminary trial in the court house, in
which little white girl, 8 or 9 years
old, was witness. Il developed in
the examination that she could
neither read nor write, had never
been to school or to Sabbath School,
had never heard prayer offered,
did not know until that morn
ing that God made her. And this
here in Anderson County, with
churches and free schools dotting
every hillside. To our certain knowl-
edge there are three churches and
three schools within reach of this
little girl and yet she had never been
in either. Would her condition have
been any worse in heathendom? Is
there any difference between her and
Hindu child 80 far as spiritual
knowledge and enlightenment is
concerned? We very much doubt if
there is a negro child in the country
of the same age who has never been
to school or to Sunday School or
heard a prayer. And yet here is a
little white girl almost within sight
and, sound of churches and schools
who might as we'll have been ''in
Darkest Africa as far as any benefit
to her is concerned. If she is reared
in this way nothing but miracle can
prevent her from growing up a
vicious and immoral woman. And
yet we are told that the law must
not interfere with the right of
father to control his children. What
right has this father to rear his child
in this way? What right has he to
disregard the claims of society upon
him to rear his children for useful
and honorable womanhood? Has
not the State a paramount right to
see that he does regard the claims of
society upon him? Has not the
child itself some rights in the prem
ises which the State is bound to pro-
tect it in even from an Indifferent
and careless father? Has be a right
to bring into the world and rear
children much as an animal would?
Never! We need compulsory school
law and need it badly.

State board Of education at it's meet
ing last night thought so well of the
suggestion that Governor McSweeney
and Superintendent McMahsn were
appointed a special committee to
make the arrangement. This plan
is said to be entirely agreeable to the
Pickens delegation, and it is stated
that Mr.. Stewart, who was quite a
friend of the late Mr.. Bright, is will
ling to accept the Office upon the
suggested conditions. This is GER
talnly a most unusual case and may
be used as a crumb of comfort by
the woman suffrsgists, who seem to
have been rather quiet in their cam
paign for some time past"
The heading of Mr.. Kohn's article
in The News and Courier is very
pointed indeed. It is worded thus:
"Woman's legal disabilities and
her business capabilities sharply con-
trssted in an incident that occurred
in Pickens County-s woman cannot
be superintendent of education, but
two women can do the work of man
who is, and take the pay, if he is
willing"
We thank Mr.. Kohn for this clear
statement of facts, which demon
strate the unfairness practiced on
women, because I believe, as soon as
South Carolina lawyers take in the
situation, there will be an evolution
in law which will bring the sisters,
wives and mothers of men alongside
their brothers, husbands and sons on
the plane of equality. Statements
like Mr.. Kohn's are well calculated
to open mems eyes to the absurdity
of our present out of date prejudices,
customs and laws.

Money TO Be Divided
TColumhia Record.

The county trustee stockholders OF
the Farmers Alliance exchange will
hold meeting in the State House
Wednesday, October 20, for the pur-
pose of voting upon the dissolution
of the exchange.
This marks the close of the alli-
ance as an organization. This ex-
change has been bone of contention
for several years. 1t was organized
about fourteen years ago, when all
the farmers of the State were enthu-
siastic over the order, and it did
quite a large wholesale business in
farm implements, fertilizers etc.
The exchange finally accumulated
something like $4,000 or little
over. The business of the exchange
finally dwindled down, and then be-
gan an agitation to dissolve it and
divide the money between the SUBJ
alliances which had contributed
money to the stock Of the exchange.
A great fight was made at several
successive annual meetings over this
matter, but the exchange people al
ways won until the meeting last
spring, when they were defeated. A
new board of directors was then
chosen and il: is now favorable to
winding up the affairs of the e1,
change and returning the money to
the sub alliances.
The money was deposited with the
old Farmers and Mechanics bank,

This morning I went into the gar
den while the dew was on the leaves
TO gather flowers for the breakfast
table. Just in the centre of the arch
msde by the intert#ining vines OF
the Solfsterro and Lamarque roses,
over the front piazza steps, I found
one freshly opened perfect flower 1t
was so exquisite in its petal robe OF
male pold that I was satisfied and
sought no farther, but I plueked the
beauteons blossom and, and giving
ii fresh wster in q slim green vase
placed it on the breakfast table,
where its beauty was benedictlon
while we slipped our coffee and dal-
lied with our grapes and figs.
AS the rose was an inspiration to
be joyful while We refreshed our
selves, so q paragraph in this morn
ing's paper sets my fingers irresisti-
bly 10 the lever whereby I put my
self en- rapport with my beloved Jour-
nal readsrs. The paragraph in The
News and Courier is fsom the pen OF
Mr.. August Kohn. This gentleman
is well known to me, being treasurer
of our State Press Association, and
Columbia editor of The News and
Courier. That is, he resides in Co.
lumbia, our Capital city, and thence
sends daily bulletins to the great
paper in Charleston. >
Mr.. August Kohn is not only
succinct, able and agreeable writer
but 8 fearless man and an indepen-
dent thinker, for which traits 1 honor
and esteem him. To-day he says:
.sThere is no authority of law for a
woman to held an elective Office IN
South Carolina, but there are now
quite a number of young ladies who
hold and acceptably fill clerkshlps in
the vgrious departments here at Co.
lumbia.
assveral days ago Mr.. W. w.
Bright, the superintendent OF educa-

death the Pickens Sentinel came out
with the suggestion that Mr.. Brlght's
two daughters, who were thoroughly
competent, be allowed 10 do the WORK

Not long ago DR.. Harris, United
States commissioner of education,
said in formal report that the pu-
pills in the first three grades of the
st. Louis public schools were 72 per
cent. of the total number enrolled.
Similarly Superintendent Smart, of
Ohio, said that only about 50 per
cent of the school children of his
State went beyond the fourth year
of their studies. The reverse side
of these facts is seen in the statistics
of child labor. The reason why
children do not 60 to school Is fre
quently that they go to the factory.
Labor Commissioner Lacey, of North
Carolina, in a tour through 26l miles,
found 1905 children under IA. But
North Carolina is not alone in it's
shame.
There are shown photographic
groups of working children in North
ern mills and factories, the Oldest
being II and the youngest Z. These
were in New Jersey mill. -. A more
stunted missbapen set it would be
hard to find. Neither the North nor
the South can say they have done
their full duty. The revival OF man
ufscturing or starting of new indus
tries makes the worst showing for
the South. In the North we are do
ing much more to stamp out child
labor, and there is one reason why
speculative cotton industries are seek
ing the South, where they are free
to employ child labor. On this SUBJ
iect the Chicago Tribune says:
It is true, of course, that just at
present the opening of the new cot
ton mills in the South throws more
vivid light on Southern conditions.
Also it is true that Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Ala
bama have been singularly remiss in
the enactment of compulsory edQca
ton and child labor laws. The
Southern States, ss whole, are many
wears behind the Northern States in
this respect. The fact is, however,
that child labor is a danger every
where. The activity of Mr., Davies,
head Illinois factory inspector, shows
pretty clearly that We have condi-
tions mere which only activity can
cope with. If onr activity ceases
child labor begins to thrive. Even
as it is We have seen child labor

The Man Who Is Ahead.

There is the man behind the coun-
ter and the man behind the gun, the
man behind the buzz saw and the
man behind his son; the man
behind the times and the msa De-
hind his rents, the msn behind the
ploughshares aud the man behind
the fence; and the man behind the
whistle and the man behind the bars,
and the man behind the kodak and
the man behind the cars; the man
behind his whiskers and the man
behind his fist, and everything be-
hind thing is entered on the list.
But they have skipped another fell
low of whom nothing has been said
the fellow who is even or just q
little way ahead; who always pays
for what he gets and whose bill ia
always signed-he is a blamed sight
more important than the man who ,s
behind. All We newspaper people
and merchants and the whole COM
mercial clan are indebted for our
existence to this honest, noble man.
He keeps US all in business and bis
town is never dead-snd so you all
take your hat off to the man who is
ahead.

What is the standard of strength for
its quality measured? G) How long
does it take to make vinegar out of
first-class cider, and in what way can
the process be hurried without impair
ing quality? w. e. A. Springfield. III.
IL. There is no generally recognized
standard. Many states have laws regu-
lating the sale and standard of strength
of vinegar. Where there is no state law,
we suppose vinegar of any strength and
quality may be sold. The New York
state standard is considered ideal; SO
we give herewith section SO of article
III. of the agricultural law touching this
point: "All vinegar which contains any
proportion of lead, copper, sulphuric
acid or other ingredients injurious to
the health, or any artificial coloring
matter, or which has not an acidity
equivalent to the presence of at least
four and one-half per centum, by
weight, of absolute acetic acid, or cider
vinegar solids, or less than two per
centum of cider vinegar solids on full
EVAPORATION over boiling water, shall be
deemed adulterated. The term vinegar
solids means vinegar made exclusively
from pure apple juice Under the
old system of keeping cider in barrels
in a cellar, it took two years to convert
| it into vinegar. By the generator sys-
tenn, now in use by cider vinegar manu-
facturers, it can be done in from ten
DAYS to one month. A tank is filed
with beech shayings, and q stream Of
cider is kept continually playing on
them. AS a starter, some old, strong
vinegar is added, and the cider Is rap
idly converted into vinegar. Sometimes,
to give it age, 1t Is allowed to remain in
| the tanks for two months or more. Con-
siderable care is necessary in handling
the cider, for the product may be ru-
med by undue evaporation of the alco-
hol. Another method suggested for pri-
yate use is: After the sugar In the
| cider has been thoroughly converted
| into alcohol. roll from one barrel into
another; add some strong vinegar and

conditions. The reports of these, men
may be used by the chief of the diyls-
ion of statistics to modify the tabulated
reports from the other named sources.
The results as determined are the
published official figures. which are
given out by telegraph and to the press
at 4 o'clock on the 10th of each month.
Since during the growing season the
crop reports deal chiefly with conditions
of crops, there has been a seeming du-
plication of this work in the climate
and crop service of the weather bu-
reau This, however. is much more APP
parent than real. The weekly crop
statement of the weather bureau is de-
signed to show the effect of weather on
crops. No figures or statistics of any
kind are given, no estimates of acre
age or production, simply weekly
statement of the progress of farm work
and crop growth expressed in the Ian
guage of the farm by the local report
ers of the weather bureau. On the 9TH
er hand, the figures of the division of
statistics are given as representing
definite percentage of a normal or un-
injured condition, and are interpreted
by the grain trade as forecasting def
mite yields.

Dodge commenced the game by kicking
to Humboldt and after seven minutes

it came just as the first half closed.
Neither side scored in the second half
altho both teams were not far from it
In the last half both sides fought fol-
dear life, a man being laid out after
nearly every down.

Creston, Nov. II For some time

but none proven more satisfactory than

company to manufacture the same and
all but one of one of this company are

ton will be put to the first test to de-
eide it's practicability and find out
whether or not the government will
adopt it. The test will be made by a
