Great Labor Leader Is Dead.

Ossining, N. Y, May 4.-Sam
Parks, the New York labor leader
who was sent to Sing Sing some
months ago on conviction of extor-
ton, died in prison to- day. He had
consumption at the time of his con-
viction and failed rapidly since his
arrival at the prison. After his con-
viction he was brought to prison last
August, and securing new trial,
was released on bail. After the sec
ond conviction he was brought back
in November to serve a term of two
years and three months. He was
first put to work in the fiber factory,
but his condition soon became such
that he was admitted to the hospital,
where he remained till he died.
Parks was prominent in labor cir
cles for years, first in Chicago, before
coming to New York, and the loyalty
to him of his associates was remark
able. He was the walking delegate
or business agent, cf the local house
smiths union and bridgemen's union,
and under his leadershi p there was a
big strike of the iron workers or
ganization, which threatened to
spread throughout the country. He
was opposed by National President
Buchanan, and the matter was car
ried to the annual convention, where
Parks won a partial victory. His
trial and convictions followed, and
Parks gave up the fight.

Young White Man Whipped.

Aiken, May IA. +. Lacey, journey
man painter, was taken from the lock- up
in Wagener on Friday night and whipped
almost into state of insensibility by a
party of men whom he believes to be
young white men. Lacey came to Aiken
late yesterday afternoon, having walked
the whole of 25 or more miles from the
scene of his chastisement. He is a
young white man about % years old and
seems to be peaceable man. He says
his home is in Spartanburg, but he has
been living in Columbia for the past
year. When he reached Aiken he was in
terrible plight. His back and body
are blackened and bruised, showing the
severe handling he received. Several
kind people have taken care of him here.
His wounds have been dressed and he
will soon be able to 60 back to his work.
Judging from the tale Lacey tells, he
has been the victim OF the most horrible
brutality imaginable. The good people
of Wagner also seem to appreciate this
fact as it is reported here that several of
the citizens have offered reward for
the apprehension of the guilty parties.
Lacey says he does not know why he
was beaten. He admits that he was
drinking in Wagener on Friday morning
and says that caused his arrest. If he
insulted any one while under the inf1u-
ence of whiskey he does not remember it,

One Dead and Another Wounded.

Newberry, April 29.-A telephone
message from Saluda Court House brings
intelligence of shooting affair which
occurred at Monetta, q small town in the
lower portion of Saluda county, as q re-
suit of which one man lies dead and
another was fatally wounded.
With practically no provocation it ia
charged, save a dispute over pistol
which had been pawned to one of the
victims by negro in the employ of one
of the assailants, Ben b. Burton, a mer-
chant of the town, was instantly killed
and l.. M. Burton, younger brother,
seriously wounded, by Morgan Thrail-
kill and his son, Clarence. The weapons
used were a revolver and shot gun. 1t is
said that neither of the 'Burtons were
armed at the time of the shooting. The
Thrailkills are said to have surrendered
to the Sheriff at Saluda. All the parties
concerned are prominent people of the
county aud are well-to do. Young Bur-
ton was shot in the groin with revolver.
His wounds, while serious, are not neces-
sarily fatal. 1t is said that the people of
the county are very much wrought up
over tho affair, and that feeling runs
high against the Thrailkills. Saluda
county has a terrible record for homi-
cides, there having been several com
mitted there already this year.

Child Labor Law.

The second section of the child
labor law went into effect May L,
1904. This law was passed by the
Legislature in 1908, the fret section
being as follows:
"Be it enacted by the General As
sembly of the State of South Caro-
lima, that from and after tho first
day of May, 1903, no child under
the age of 10 years shall be employed
i'm any factory, mine or textile estab.
lishment of the State; and that from
and after the first day of May, 1904,
no child under IL years of age shall
be employed in any factory, mine or
textile establishment of the State !:
that from and after the first day of
May, 1905, no child under the age
of IL years shall be employed in
any factory, mine or textile establish
ment of this State except as herein
after provided"
Section three of the law provided
that children of widowed mother
and children of a totally disabled
father who are dependent upon their
own labor for their support or orphan
children may be permitted to work,
provided that the mill managers are
furnished with aifidavits to that ef-
fect. There are also provisions in
regard to school attendance, ETC., but
the principal part of the law is con-
tanned in the section quoted above.
The law affected practically no one
in the entire State, as all of the
mills have complied with the pro-
visions long ago.

Ignorance OF the Bible.

Preaching in Battell Chapel at
Yale College on recent Sunday,
Bishop Potter declared to the Yale
students, "when we are dying we do
not want Homer, Shakespeare,
Browning or Emerson read to u.s..
AS Walter Scott lay dying he called
his SON. -in-law to him with the CON-
mand: Bring me the book sWhat
book, Sir Walter?' asked the son-in-
law. 'What book?' replied the
novelist, There is but one book"
The Bishop expressed his fears, how.
ever, that the Bible is very little
known by large classes of people,
and told the following anecdotes:
81 was stopping at home in q
Massachusetts parish recently, where
l was to preach the following day,
when unwittingly embarrassed my
hostess by asking for a Bible. l
found my own had been left behind.
There was none in the house and

in this city.

Tecently were taking over one OF
Kipling's latest stories, when one of
them said The curse of Reuben !;
what is itp' Not one could answer,
and the hostess, after a diligent
search, discovered French Bible,
the only one in the house, and found
the reference.
"ln Warrington recently friend
of mine was present at dinner party
of young women, when one of the
guests, referring to dish that had
been on the table the day before, re-
marked that it was like the widows
cruise of OIL A look of questioning
went the rounds, but no one dared
ask for an explanation until the meal
was over, when one of the young
women summoned up the courage.
Not one at the table had ever heard
of the Bible story. These facts
carry with them their own moral"

One Perfect Woman.

Apropos of the ideal woman,

story the other day which was keenly
enjoyed by an audience of women.
GA misguided man." said Presi-

to address group of ladies upon
the topic, sThe Ideal Woman By
way of introduction he asked: sWho
among you has ever known the ideal
woman herself or known any one
has ever been intimately associated
with an ideal woman?'
''There was a depressing pause
which seemed to indicate distress
ing like of perfect woman, nobly
planned,' etc.

fective the speaker repeated the
question, and the eyes of the audi
ence reflected surprise when meek

The Law AS to Poll Tax.

Columbia, April 29.-Assistant Attor-
ney General Townsend to day gave the
comptroller general an important opinion
on the collection of poll taxes, and it's
disposition in the school fund The
opinion, which explains itself, follows: |:
Answering the inquiries in the letter of
DIR. Sanders, county treasurer for Beau
fort county to you, dated April 28, 1 beg
to say: First, that where a person is
prosecuted before magistrate for non
payment of poll tax, the fine collected
by the magistrate is paid over by him
with other fines to the county treasurer,
and reported to the clerk of court as a
fine. Second, the money so collected by
the magistrate goes into the fines belong
ing to the county, and is not part of
the poll tax belonging to the school fund.
Third, the county treasurer is not enti-
tied to any costs for swearing out the
warrant against the defaulting tax payer,
nor are any costs to be paid him out OF
the moneys collected 10y the magistrates
as fines. He is not entitled to be paid
fifty cents for issuing execution against
the defaultipg tax payer, unless the
taxes aud such costs are collected and
execution issued by the treasurer to the
Sheriff and not through the magistrate.
