Providential Contingent Fund
The Thirtieth general assembly ap-

such misfortune has occurred, and I
am glad to advise you that no part of

Interest Received on Deposits
It is pleasure to report that un-
der the law passed by the Thirtieth
general assembly, the state treasurer
made an agreement. effective from
May 10, 1904. with regard to interest
on deposits, with the result that dur
ing the nineteen and one-half
months since that time the treasurer
has received from the various banks in
which the money is deposited, the
sum Of s38, 955.s9 as interest.
Printing and Binding
The secretary Of state is Of the
opinion, and I fully concur with him,
that there are more volumes Of many
of the reports printed and bound than
are necessary. believe that a very
considerable saving can be made by
reducing the number Of some of these
reports, without any injury to the
state I recommend that your appro-
pirate committees examine this sub
ject, and amend the statute now in
force, In accordance with the public
need as shown by experience.

ANT1-PAss Law ADVOCATED
Governor Says Free Transportation
Giving Should be Prohibited

GOvernOr Says Free Transportation
Giving Should be Prohibited
There has been much discussion,
not only in our own state but else
where, respecting free transportation
or passes, over railway lines. The
practice is vicious and should be pro-
hibited. 1t Is utterly indefensible
from any point of view. It is GER
tainly not true that every pass issued
by a railway company Is issued with
corrupt intent, nor is it true that
every person receiving d pass accepts
1t with an unlawful motive. A great
deal Of free transportation has been
issued and is being issued in obed- :
fence to custom that has become
firmly fixed in the gradual growth of
years. 1t is, however, true that the
system has taken on such proportions

GERS that 1t should be abolished, root

sage how natural it is-indeed,
how inevitable it is-for railway
companies. In common with other
great corporations, to attempt to di-
rect the course of government and
mould its policies to promote their
own interests. 1t is to be expected
that railway managers will endeavor
with all their might and main to se-
cure the enactment Of such laws as
will make their properties more VAL
liable and their revenues more ample.
1t Is to be expected that they will ex-
haust every influence to prevent the
passage of laws which restrain or
regulate their practices. In so far as
they can accomplish these results by
fair, open argument they are entitled
to all the victories they can win: but
when they use free transportation to
tempt either the private citizen or
the public official into friendly CO.
operation; when they employ the pass
to turn activity into apathy or to con-
vert independence into servility; in
short, when they pay men to ignore
the public good and forget the gener-
al welfare, they commit a crime
against the fundamental tenet Of free
to discriminate between those who
can be Influenced with such cour-
tesies and those who cannot, and
therefore IL the remedy is to be COM
mensurate with the evil it must pro-
hibit all free transportation. This
is right from any point of view. The
railways are public highways, and all
persons are entitled to use them upon
the same terms under like conditions.
Under the pass system those who are
best able to pay travel for nothing,
and those who are least able make
up the loss. / earnestly recon-
mend the adoption of law which

permitted to receive them, and the

company his stock or send someone's
in his stead. should be allowed, freed

CHILD LABOR LAW SURE
Georgia State Senate Passes House;
Bill, With Slight Amendment,
Without Dissenting Vote.

Without a dissenting voice and by a
viva yoce vote of 27 to 0, the child
labor bill which will prevent the en-
plcyment of young children in manu-
facturies except under certain condi-
tions passed the Georgia state senate
Monday morning.
In the legislative branch Of the.
general assembly which has generally
heretofore defeated all measures Of It's
kind, there was not one word spoken
against the bill which had been al
ready agreed to in committee.
There was no call for the ayes and
nays, the senators present voting un-
animously in the affirmative.
The bill with it's amendment will be
sent back to the house and when it.
is concurred in, it will. become a law
The measure as passed by the SEN
ate provides that-no child under ten
years of age shall work in manufac-
turtles under any circumstances. Chill
dren under twelve years of age may
be allowed to be employed provided
they are the only support Of widow
ed mother, a disabled father, or an
orphan. T11en an affidavit to this ef-
feet must accompany the application
presented by parent or guardian.
No child under fourteen years OF
age can be employed unless he or
she can write simple sentences and
has had three months schooling dur
ing the preceding year Of employment.
During the employment OF all chif
dren under IA years of age, they must
attend school three months each.
year, (six weeks time being consecu-
tive) until the public school age limit
has been passed. Sworn statements
must accompany the applications OF
all children under IA years OF age as
to their schooling.
The bill further provides that 40
child under IA years shall be en-
ployed between the hours Of p. m.
and 6 a. m. The bill virtually throws
around children under Il years old
the protection of the law.

Farmers Blue Over the Outlook.

Farmers Blue Over the Outlook.
A Columbia news item says: South
Carolina cotton growers are blue. The
showers that began six weeks ago con-
tinue. There is an occasional dry
day, but as frequently a general rain.
In July there has not been one
cloudless day, and latterly the nights
have been too cool for cotton. Con-
sidering the frequency of the rains,
little water has fallen, the excess over
normal in six weeks being within a
fraction of six inches, but it has been
enough to keep the ground wet Id
prevent grass killing. This is parri-
cularly noticeable on heavy lands. On
the other hand, growers on sandy land
are complaining Of the weed firing"
Estimates on the condition of the
cotton crop vary greatly when given
in percentages, running all the way
from so to Is, according to locali-
ties, but there is less variation in
the estimate of state yield. Allowing
for lsaproved conditions from this time
forward, it is believed $4,000 bales
will be produced-it may not exceed
100000. If the former estimate is
correct the reduction compared with
last years crop will be 100000 bales.
Al this time that looks like con-
servative estimate for South Caro-
lima.
Except in low lands and heavy
soils, the conditions that have mill
tated against cotton have benefited
corn, and the prospects are that the
habit Of buying western corn will be
broken on many farms next winter.
The Williamson method of corn grow
ing is being given a thorough test
in this state. It promises well and
if successful will be generally adopt
ed and take South Carolina out Of
the column of corn buying states. The
main features of this method are
starving the corn stalk and feasting
the ear, the fertilizer being applied
late in the growing period.
Excessive rains have been injurious
to the fruit, particularly peaches, AMI
have also afflicted the quality of Wa
termelons.
