in our town.
Mr. r J Poston of Moultrie-

while last Thursday morning.
At the supper Tuesday night
given at the Star warehouse for
the benefit of the Methodist

attended and those present
seemed really to enjoy them
selves. The net returns after
paying all expenses were S30.
Mr. Toney White of st Clairs-
Vile, Ohio, was here two nights
last week with his phonograph
and moving picture stereopticon.
The show was we'll attended
both nights and was pronounced
by all the best of it's kind seen
in small towns.
Judge w E Hanna paid us a
pleasant visit one day last
week.
! Mr. W w Kennedy, Of the
Hebron neighborhood was in
town Friday.
Mr. R E Morris has been elect.
ed principal of our town school.
He accepted the position and en-
tered upon the discharge of his
duties last Monday. Mr. Morris
j is so we'll known in this section
as a man and as a teacher that
it is unnecessary to say anything
about him in these respects. We
wish him abundant success in
; the position just assumed.
Mr. Mason Brunson, who is
now travelling agent for that
greatest of Southern dailies,
The News & Courier, spent Mon
day in town in the interest OF
that paper. We understand
that he succeeded in arousing
the interest of quite number.
DR. A H Williams went on a
trip south Monday. He will
visit Cottageville, Charleston,

places before he returns.
The infant son of Mr. and Mrs

Female College Monday night.
Mr. Arthur Jones went to Flor
ence Monday night as special
passenger route agent.
SW &C Shipp, Esq, of Flor
ence spent Monday night in
town, going on to Kingstree
Tuesday.
AS there seems to be doubt in
the minds of a good many as to
the time when our next term of
circuit court meets, it will per.
haps be of public interest to give
the date. Court will convene on
Monday, April 18, and will be in
session two weeks, if so much
time be necessary. This date
may be relied upon as correct.

cent session of the General AS.
sembly, I think that it will be of
general interest to give the sub
Estance of that law. Omitting
details, the act provides that
whenever the patrons of a public
school raise $40, the county
board of education must contri-
butte $40 and the State board $40
for the purpose of establishing
a library for such school. This
money, $50 in all, is then used by
the trustees of the library in
buying books, which books must
be selected from a list adopted
by the State board. Not more
than twelve such libraries may
be established in any county in
any one year, and the county
board must designate the schools
for which libraries may be es-
tablished during each year.
That is, if the patrons of more
than twelve schools raise the
specified amount, $40, the coun-
ty board shall declare which
twelve shall be given Libraries.
One library may exchange books
with another, but changes shall
not be made oftener than once
in six months. These are, I be-
Ilieve, the leading features of the
act.

that the invitation is very often
accepted.
The news of the death of R
Means Davis was received here
! with genuine sorrow. A good
many of our people knew him
personally, and all by general
repute. The writer feels that in
Prof Davis going away he has
lost one of his best friends and
most highly respected teachers.
Prof Davis was one of Gods
noblemen, a gentleman and a
scholar.
Mr. J C McElveen says he
wants to extend his hearty
thanks to the people of this town
and community for the splendid
patronage they have given him
since he came among US. He is
gratifed-almost surprised. He
ought not to be. In the first
place THE RECORD gave him a
good "send- off" when he opened
up. Again, when a first rate
man, straight-as-a-shingl fell
low like Cleve McElveen comes
to this place all the people are
glad and give him their encour-
agement and that in no uncertain
manner.
In what respect is THE CoUN-
TY RECORD like wine? Improves
with age. (We may be pardoned
for suggesting that it is well
re(a)d; that it exhilarates with
out intoxicating; that it takes

One Of the nearest approaches to the

is to be found in the shoe factory of

Sewer and Water Systems are:
Bound to Come to Duluth
Heights Next Year.
Water Will. be Pumped From
Well Near Town and Sew
er Will Empty in Creek

Surveyors have been at work on the
sewer and water system on Duluth
Heights for the past two weeks Es-
Inmates are being made and at the
next meeting of the common council it
is hoped that things will have reach
ed such a shape that it will be known
definitely what the cost per lot will
be on both systems.
A pump operated by gasoline power
will be installed near Highland Ave-,
and Linden street. A we'll is to be dug
there, and the water tank will be plac-
ed just above Mr.. Coons residence on
Orange street. This is the highest
point in the suburb and it is expected
that a pressure of from so to 20
pounds will be secured at this point.
The water tank will have a capacity
of 10000 gallons and possibly 10000.
This will feed three streams of water
in case Of a fire for more than two
hours.
The sewer system will empty into
one Of the creeks where a septic tank
will be located 1t is expected that
sewer improvements can be made with
a cost not to exceed $25 on each lot.
But few people are acquainted with
the septic tank plan proposed for the
suburb. It is in use at Woodland and
gives very good satisfaction. In many
western cities lodged in deep valleys
where there is absolutely no chance
for sewage to flow the septic tanks
are used extensively.
City engineer McGilvray has great
confidence In the plan, and he thor
oughly believes that it is the only
way that can be adopted with safety
on Duluth Heights. Should this sub
urb be equipped with an up-to-date
sewer and water system next year we
can we'll predict decided boom. Prop
erty will andvance in value, and some
Of our discontinued residents who have
been trying to dispose of their homes
at cost price will be given a good OPP
portunity to do so.

LABOR IS LIFE
AND NOT PROPERTY
The Rights of Labor In Its
Labor Power.
Furuseth's Able Presentation
of the Subject.

Labor is life. not Property" was the
subject of the address delivered by An
drew Furuseth as the leading features
uf the Labor Day exercises held under
the auspices Of the San Francisco
Labor Council. The substance of Mr..
Furuseth's remarks is as follows:
California statutes define property,
as follows: The ownership of thing
is the right Of one or of others. There
may be ownership of inanimate things
which are capable of appropriation or
Of manual delivery; Of all domestic
animals: Of all obligations; of such
products of labor or skill as the COM
position of the author, the good will
Of (, business, trademarks and signs;
and Of rights created and guaranteed
by statute
Labor. if by this expression is meant
the products of labor of course proper
ty But if the term be used to describe
either the capacity or the exertion of
labor then it is not something that is
'capable of appropriation or Of manual
delivery"
The capacity to labor can not be
separated from the laborer It de-
creases or increases with the ebb or
flow OF health. strength and life of the
individual. When life has departed,
labor-the power to labor-has depart
cd. Labor therefore, is an attribute of
life: it is life
The product Of labor may be, and
usually is, property: and usually it is
the property Of those who have not
labored to produce it. Property is a
thing that may be sold, bought, trans
ferred from one person to another, or
destroyed without destroying the pos
SCISSOR thereof Consequently, to put labor
and the products Of labor on the same
legal basis and under the same legal
protection. is to re- establish slavery
wipe out the thirteenth amendment to
the constitution and that part of the
Declaration Of Independence (the first
constitution Of the United States)
which says that the rights to life liber-
ty and the pursuit Of happiness are
inalienable.
The legal fiction that labor is prop.
erty. is what now remains of those
statutes which frankly designated the
laborer as property. If this Fictitious
separation of the laborer and his labor
power can be accepted. then the laborel
may sell his labor power for a specific
