Factory Schools.

Prof VIM. Hood OF Barlow, Florida, Ia writ
ing some interesting letters 10 the Associate
Reformed Presby terian OH the subject of"Cot-
ton Factories IN the Southern States" In
many respects Prof. Hood has a very clear
makes the mistake of dealing with mill
operatives as a class. Legally we know, or
ought not to know, class distinctions. All
men are born free and equal before the law.
1t Ia true that the mill people should be
protected against wrong.
But 1t ia also true that the mill Presidents
of this State have done much for the educa-
tion, Of their mill operatives. In establishing
and endowing colleges they have done more
than any other class of rich men In this
State. This Is susceptible OF proof.
Prof. Hood would seemingly appeal to The
Legislature to interfere with the conduct OF
the mills In all that he says about the
health of the mill villages, we thoroughly
agree with Mr.. Hood. In all that he says oi
the crowding of the mill settlements, he is
right.
But when he appeals to the Legislature TO
pass special laws regulating the education oi
the mill children, he is In error.
In the first place, he errs, like nearly every.
body else In taking It for granted that all
mill people are alike. The fact is, there is al
cotton mill just as many casts of character
as there is in the neighboring city.
To speak of a person as mill operative, is
no more an index to his character, than to
say that man is q citizen Of a town.
The only thing that the expression mill
operative certainly expresses. or means, Is
that he is not rich In this worlds goods The
mill operative may have as great ambition al
anybody, and the high places in the mills
are generally filled by men who start at the
bottom.
The rich and prosperous old men of any
community were once the poor boys of theil
ueighborhood. Not man In Abbeville who
was born rich, has succeeded to the bes
places, except by labor, education and gooc
brains.
It may be all very we'll for the Legislator,
to enact class laws, which are ostensibly fo
the benefit of the mill operatives, but which
In fact may be TO his greatest injury.
The enforced idleness Of children In crowd
ed communities may be OF doubtful proprIety
1t has been said that idleness is the devil
workship. And 1t may be said that the idle
ness of the multitue does not promote TIT
morality Of the individual. Character is of tb'
first Importance, and wise Legislators shoule
be slow to enact laws which may have {
tendency to set mill people off from the res
of the world, and statutes which may effec
character should be avoided. =
But II is the duty of the Legislature TO set
that the health Of the operatives is preser we'd
1t is the duty OF the Legislature TO preven
the crowding Of too many in the same home

Let Billy Sit Down.

The Spartanbu Herald thinks, II the Dem.
ocrats stick together, and brush Billy Bryan
aside, that there is a fair prospect Of Demo
cratic victory next Fall. The Press and Ban.
ner believes that the country is getting very
tired Of Bryans audacity. When 1t comes to
thoss who were first disguised with his silver
foolish ness, you may give US date far back.
Billy said II the silver business WAS right at
the start, 1t was right in his second camgaign.
Right or wrong, Billy's former power OF pull.
ing the people around by the nose does not
now exist. Poor old Billy, he might just as
we'll sit down. His counsel and his advice
are no longer needed.

Rfenuial Sessions.

The Lexlslature has given the people the
right to vote on biennial sessions OF the law
making body. The people Will likely vote
against the proposition, but If the Legislature
had thought proper 20 reduce the annual ses.
sions to twenty days, the people would no
doubt have approved the reduction. AS 1t Is,
1t seems that the Legislators are under the
impression that they must continue the ses-
sion for forty days.

We Shall Do Nothing of the Kind.

The Press and Banner is in receipt OF the
following printed letter: -
Dear Sir: At mass meeting OF the citizens
OF Aiken, held on Saturday, the 28d inst, the
following resolution was unanimously adopt
ed:
"Whereas. in the opinion of the assembled
citizens of Aiken county, the prevalence OF
lynch law and other forms of lawIessness are
caused largely By the general feeling that our
law courts can not be relied on 10 convict the
guilty. therefore. be 1t
Resolved, That the Legislature now In ses-
sion be asked to provide for q com nission OF
leading jurists, solicitors and business men,
who shall consider what changes are neces.
sary IN our laws and the rules OF our courts
to insure the prompt and certain administra-
sion of justice; said commission TO submit
Its report to the Legislature at its next
session."
resolution and you rre urgently requested TO
use your influence TO have similar action
taken in your town.
Arthur P. Ford,
-, WI. Washburn,
Aiken, s. G. Jan. 25. 1904.
We eshall not urge the action requested by
the Mass meeting" OF Aiken until we are
ready to submit our women TO the violence
OF brutes.
The man who lays violent hands on q
woman deserves death and will get what he
deserves.
II the mass meeting of Aiken would urge
those who lay violent hands upon our women
to refrain from doing so. and II the mass
meeting would urge them to obey the law
we would heartily agree.
Lynching will stop whenever violations ot
the law OF human rights wish 1t. All know
the penalty Of assault. and whoever makes
assault, does 30 at the well known cost.
We do not admit that state OF lawlessness
exists in South Carolina.
The Governors recent message on the sub
ject OF lynching is idle talk, and unuecessari'
ly assails the good name Of the State Of which
be is the Chief Magistrate.

Killed, as 1t Should Have Been.

The effort TO establish new judicial Dis.
triots was very properly killed. While we
would be glad for every brieaess lawyer In
the State to have an Office, the State needs no
more courts. If the judges and solicitors and
stenographers now in commission would
make at least half an effort the public would
have no right TO complain.
The fact is, there is no need for more cir
cults, except to furnish good places for some
body.

Between 1901 and l90l2 the price OF cotton
ductuated between 9.O3, the highest, and $50.
the lowest, the price never reaching 10 cents.
From this IL will be seen that for the past
twelve years the world has been getting It's
supply at unusually low prices. In view OF
the facts contained in the foregoing, many
authorities are Of the opinion that the efforts
no@ being made In Africa and elsewhere TO
compete with the South In the production OF
cotton will not amount TO anything or conse-
quence. .u, -
