And now conservative Missouri has
found that it has TO wrestle with the
child labor problem. There is state
law which when framed was thought
to be sufficient TO prevent the great
evil Of child labor Recently, however,
investigation has shown that the law
was either not enforced or was made
quate. State Factory Inspector Hitler
win have introduced in the legislature
this winter a more carefully drawn
and drastic bill.
According TO the inspector, there are
now toillng in the big factories Of St.
Louis for mere pittanee thousands
Of little children whose opportunities
for education and advancement have
been forever sacrificed to the remorse-
less god Of gain.

Domestic Servants In Great Britain 10

There is a feature OF the British
workmen's compensation act which
will be in force from July i 1907, that
shows the thoroughness Of the legisla-

for the payment Of indemnity to me-
chanics and lahprers in cases Of dam
age by accident, but domestic servants
are also included In the protected
classes.
According to the last census, there
are 1,641, 154 female domestic servants
in Great Britain. The new response

ployers OF these servants may be sum-

In the event OF death resulting from
an accident the liability OF the em-
ployer is the payment OF three years
wages and an allowance for board,
the total sum not to exceed $3.50. For
temporary disablement one-half the
wages and an allowance for board
must be paid during the period of in
capacity. In the event OF permanent
disabIement the provision Is the same
as IN the case Of temporary disable

may be incapacltated from work for
lifetime Of many years.
The accident insurance companies
are adjusting their premium rates on
domestic servants to meet the condi-
lions which will exist after the list Of
July next Another adjustment due
to the passage of the act will be the

Hayward Denies Statement.

When Ex-Governor Heyward was
shown a clipping from the Anderson
Intelligencer today declaring that he
had made the announcement that he
would be candidate for United
States Senator against Latimer, Gov
ernor Hayward made this statement
for publication, which is susceptible
of several interesting interpretations: :
"While I appreciate very much the
good will and kind words Of the An
derson Intelligencer, it is certainly a
serious mistake to say that I have
expressed to anyone any intention of
being candidate for United States
Senator. Since coming out Of office
I have devoted myself entirely to my
business and have given no consider
alton to politics." "

1t was a great pleasure to have
the opportunity of attending the de-

most beautiful grave yard. 1t was

closure was covered with beautiful

is in a good ncighborhood and many
good citizens reside in the community
around-among the best in Tyler
County. Services began at 10 o'clock
with a song by the choir, after
which Rev. B. F. Stewart read a
chapter and invoked blessing upon
the people there assembled. Mr..
Stewart then introduced Major J. M.
Crosson to the people, who arose be-
fore that assemblage to address them
on the occasion. The major spoke
in very effective and sympathetic
tone, and every one present was deep
ly moved by his eloquencc and SINGER

is now just SO and his hair is a sill
very white, and his limbs are grow

These exercises will certainly do
good, and it is well that Grace con-
gregation has decided to continue
them and make them a permanent
feature.
AS stated by Mr.. Sigh, this is a

his good wife in all church work, is

WILL RUN FOR THE SENATE.
Anderson Paper Announces Capt
Hayward 8 Candidacy.

Anderson Tntelligencer
Former Governor Duncan S. Hey-
ward will next summer be a candidate
for the United States Senate, to sue
ceed A. C. Latimer. While in this
city last week in attendance upon the
Travellers Protective Association he
told a friend that he had been con-
sidering the matter and had practi-
cally decided to make the race.
This news will be received with
great delight, for there is no more
popular man in the state than Capt.
Hayward. He has been urged by
many leading citizens to make the
race and, although reluctant to re-
enter politics, he has decided to heed
the wishes Of has friends and make
the race. Capt. Hayward for four
years handled the executive reins of
the state with great ability, and when
he stopped down from Office it was
freely predicted that he would soon-
er or later land in the United States
Senate. 1t would seem as if that
prediction will come true.
1t is generally understood that
Senator a. G. Latimcr will offer for
reelection. Senator Latimcr has
made Il good rcprescntative-there is
no gainsaying that fact-and he will
be a mighty hard man to beat. Some
OF the papers Of the state have been
poking fun at him and claiming that
the state had only one Senator, but
this is all bosh. Senator Latimer
does not make as much fuss as does
the senior Senator, but he does some
good, effective work.
1t is rumored that Congressman A.
r. Lever, Of the 7th district, will also
be i'm the race, but his candidacy
would not amount to anything much.
The up-country would take great de-
light in killing his chance because of
the active part lie took in the cam
paign against Ansel last summer. Mr..
Levers candidacy would be little
short of joke.
There are other candidates men
toned and it is possible that before
the election, which is considerably
over a year off, some other mon will
swing into popular favor, but at pres
ent it looks as if the real race will be
between Hayward and Latimer, and
if indications count for aught it will
be a veritable battle of Waterloo,
with the chances slightly in favor of
the popular former Chief Executive.
Both men ARE exceedingly popular
in the state and each have a strong
following. Interest in the race is al
ready growing and by next summer
it will be at fever heat. The contest
bids fair to be one Of the most ex-
citing in recent years.

Cooperation among the farmers means a better price for all products Better prices means more business for banks and merchants and all other classes. Then why not cooperate? The warehouse system of marketing cotton is the only way to hold the price up. Store your cotton and feed the market as it needs it. Don't force a whole years supply upon the market in three months, thereby dearessing the price and injuring yourself and others. Fifteen cents is not too much for your cotton. The cotton grower ought to have as good a living as any other class. In order to have he must have profit on his labor and his in- vestment What does 1t profit us if we work hard and Providence smiles on us and we make an abundance, the bulls and bears tell us that we have made too much and down goes the price below cost of production and thousands of good farmers are forced to the wall.

FIFTEEN CENTS.

Cotton is below 12 cents but there are so many tanners who have to have quick money and who are under finan- cial obligations that 1t will take years to change them. It will take a cam paign of education perhaps several of them 10 get men to change their habits in regard to borrowing money on cot ton and repaying at time disastrous to themselves. By all means the rules of supply and demand should now be about 13 cents, and before December should be I5 cents.
 If the farmers perfect their organ. ization and get where they can hold and demand 15 cents there will be little trouble about the men who hasten to sell They will then want l5 cents also and will take steps to get it.
 It is an outrage that dealers in New York can in the face of present con ditions force down the price of cotton below 12 cents If the farmers were fully organized they could deal di- rectly with the cotton mills of New England and old England and of France as well as with our own home mills, and leave New York dealers out of the business altogether. The mills and the planters could deal more equitably and the price nxed would be the real price.-Paris Advocate
