mother" For this position he gives two
main reasons: First, "there is no doubt
that to keep the small child confined at
labor iii the mills is injurious TO the child
physically and mentally" Second, The
material prosperity of the South will be
itiured by the labor Of children in the
mills
COMPULSORY education in South Caro-
lina between the ages of eight and th1r-
teen, for at least twelve weeks OF the
school term, is recommended. The gov
ernor points to the fact that all the civil
lied countries of the world and two
thirds of the states of our own Union
have compulsory education laws and
St ongly argues in favor of the system in
this State
A brief review of all the State institu
tions, commencing their work, is given
Very little is said about the dispensary.
The governor thinks the law is more
strongly than ever entrenched in the
State and that as the sentiment of all the
people grows more and more in favor OF
the enforcement of the law, as it has done
within the past few years, the constabu-
lary feature should be abolished alto
gether.
The work of the State board of health
durirgthe year, and Recommendations
of the board, are called to the attention
of the legislature. The governor thinks
that in recent years it has been the custom
of the State to give too much power to
corporations doing business within its
bounds. He gives review of the work
of the attorney general in fighting the
trusts and comm nds hin in his efforts.
County government and local legislation
are briefly touched upon and the attention
of the general as emily especially called
to the Jury law and to the laws in regard
to the control of corporations
The work during the year of the State
Hospital aud the State penitentiary is
reviewed. Both institutions have pros
pered and are under excellent manage
ment
The governor strongly recommends
that the State be redistricted. There is
no longer any use for the shoe-strlng
districts which we have in this State, y
and the State should be redistricted
without regard to the political fortunes
or interests of any individual.
The most important recommendations
made are those in regard to the prohibi-
ton of child labor in the manufac' 'ories
of the State and compulsory education,
The position of the governor on these
questions can not be mistaken, and his
recommendation on these questions if
carried out will advance long way both
the intellectual and material interests OF
South Carolina.

The HEHg or 1898.

We a'e glad we made the inquiry III
Tuesdays paI e. il regard to the abntr-
NAL increase of the debt of 1898. 1t re
suite in an investigation by the council
and in the discovery Of a payment OF
S1ooo on the note on December 2I,I9co,
and the interest on it for one year which
amounted to $e7.oS, as will be seen from
the revised statement published in this
issue. This makes the debt Of 1898, ac-
cording to council still $9,1I6.3S Ac-
cording to this statement the debt at the
close of the year 1900, or December 81,
1900, should have been S715S.3S, instead
of SS255.46 as reported in the annual
statement published one year ago. The
increase then since last report remains
$1e5S, which is still pretty heavy inter
est, or an increase since the report OF the
debt at the close of 1899 of $22o7.65. In
December, 1899, the debt of 1898 was re-
ported by council at $6eoS.75. The re-
port published Tuesday gave the debt OF
1893 as $1o213.46. Subtract from this the
$Ioe7. .os the amount paid on principal
and interest on Deceu,5er 2I, 1900, and
you have the debt of 1898 at $9,11o.3o
which are the figures given by council.
Take from this the debt OF 1898 as report,
ed in December, 1899, $6eoS.73, and you
have still gain in two years OF
$22o7.65 which is over 81 per cent. or
more than I6 per cent per annum, after
making payment of $1,000 on the debt
That is the way it appears to US. When
we made the statement on Tuesday we
were under the impression that possibly
there was an error or that in some way
some other debt had been included in
the debt of 1898. 1t was not with view
of criticizing the council. We are glad,
however, we started the investigation and
have been the means of saving the town
something over $1cco, but, as will be seen
from the figures above this credit on the
statement published one year ago does
not affect the increase during the past
two years in the least for you subtract the
amount from both totals which leaves the
net increase the same.

The SOLONS IN SESSION
THE WORK OF THE LAW MAKERS OF
THE STATE ASSEMBLED IN CO.
LUMBIA.
A Condensed Report of the Proceedings
Taken From the Daily Papers from Day
to Day as the Work Proceeds.

January 15.-The second Legislative
day was a dull one as is usual, for little
work is yet in shape for action on part
of the houses
The house assembled promptly at II
O'Clock, but after the usual routine, 1t
was discovered that no calendar was
on the desks of members, and recess
was taken, to wait for the State printer
to send them up. No explanation was
made why the calendar was not in the
house on time.
A number Of bills were introduced,
amongst others being resolution Of
fered by Representative Johnston, Of
Fairfield, commendatory Of and endors-
ing Admiral Schley. This resolution
will no doubt be unanimously passed,
but under the rules it went on the CAL
endar.
The senate was in session about three
quarters of an hour, and nothing of i'm
portance was accomplished beyond the
introduction of a number of bills.
Among them was one by Senator Ray
sor, of Orangeburg, requiring all pa
rents to send their children to school
eight months in the year.
Senator Gruber, OF Colleton, intro
duced several bills proposing amend
ments to the constitution. These were:
pro yidipg for biennial sessions; an
amendment providing for the election
of senators for six years; another that
members of the house be elected for
four years, and still another in refer
ence to when the governor may adjourn
the legislature.
Senator Marshall, of Richland, intro
duce6 a resolution asking for approval
of contracts entered into by the State
lighting commission
After some discussion. the senate
amended the house resolution making
the time for the election of judges next
Tuesday, instead of Friday Judges for
the first, second, third, fourth, sixth
and eighth circuits are To be elected:
also an associate justice of the supreme
court o succeed Justice Jones He will
have ne opposition.
The message of the governor, in so
fa~ as it referred to differ; Mt subjects,
was referred to the proper committees.
The presiding officer announced the
appointment of R W. Taylor and A. A.
Glover as doorkeepers, and they were
sworn in.

THE GOVERN .R'S MESSAGE.

The annual message of the governor
was handed to the general assembly On
Tuesday. The message was given to
our readers in the form of an extra ed1-
ton of the Herald and News only short
time after its delivery to the legislature,
1t is strong paper. The governor takes
decided positions on every important
question now before the people of South
Carolina, and while some may not agree
with him in some of his recommends
tions, still there will be none to say that
he stands not squarely for what he be-
lieves to be for the best interests of the
people and the material advancement
of South Carolina, and does not hesitate
to say what course he thinks best to pur-
sue.
The governor, after brief introduc-
ton. eiyes a review of the financial con-
dition of the State and calls attention to
the fact that in order to meet the ex-
penses of the State government it became
necessary for the State Treaurer to Dor
row $40, 900, and in order to meet the in
teresten the State debt to borrow SIoo,
600 additional. "This action was made
necessary by the fact that very small
proportion of the taxes had been paid at
the close Of the year." He thinks it is
best that the time for the payment OF
taxes without penalty should be fixed,
and it should be understood that there
will be no extension. This year it be-
came necessary again to extend the time
until March, 1902.
10 discussing the subject of taxation,
the governor thinks ''there is no subject
in which there is more room for re-
form" and makes several recommends
tions in regard to the duties of the town
ship and country boards of assessors,
which if carried out would no doubt Sc
cure more equiptable assessment Of
property.
The governor strongly recommends
that the legislature take some action
looking to the betterment of the public
highways of the State. He calls atten-
ton to the great influx of people for the
past few years into our towns and cities
and the fact that these have rapidly been
built up at the expenses of the surround
ing country. One of the prime causes OF
this abnormal flow of population into the
cities is to be found in the public high
ways, which in most counties at certain
seasons of the year are impossible. This
is an evil, which if possible should be
remedied. But laying aside evils of this
character, the governor argues that good
roads are a paying investment and gives
figures to prove his assertion.
In regard to child labor, the governor
recommends that mo child under twelve
years of age be permitted to labor in the
manufactures of this State, unless 1t be
necessary for the support of a widowed

The several bills proposing to redistrict

eress. For this reason possibly more
than any other all efforts to redistrlct the
State in the recent past have failed.
