Of the Academy
st. Joseph's Academy Is not only
the oldest educational institution in
Sumter but Is one Of the Oldest col.
ieses for women in the State. Within
the more than forty years the school
has been In existence It has accom-
plished world Of good for Sumter
and South Carolina, having educated
and fitted for the responsibilities of
life several thousand young women.
This work has been done so quietly
and unostentatiously that few realize
the widespread and beneficent infiu-
ence that this institution Aas exercised
here and elsewhere. Sumter owes
st. Joseph's Academy a debt OF graft

Ing alive the educational spirit in the
dark days Immediately following the
war by affording place where the
daughters Of a war impoverished peo-
pie could obtain an education amid
refined and Christian influences.
throughout all these years St. Jo-
seph's has given much and asked lit
tie Of the people Of Sumter, and, for
this reason, II should be not only
pleasure but 1t should be regarded as
the discharging Of a duty for the peo-
pie Of the community to assist the
Sisters In every way in their power to
make the Lawn Festival a success
and the financial returns therefrom
large. 1t Is not much that is asked,
but IL everybody will attend the Fes-
tival 1t will eb success and the hope
OF the Sisters will be realized-suffi-
cient money will be raised to make
the improvements that they 80 greatly
need for the successful continuance OF
the good work to which their lives

CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
Woman's Home Missionary Society Is
Doing a Great Work.

The rapid development of the South
along industrial lines has been one
of the surprises of the last two de-
cades. The growth of slavery in the
| Southern states and the demand upon
the cotton region for the protection of
| the raw cotton turned the attention of
the people of the South from manufac-
ture to agriculture. 1t was only natu-
raj, therefore, that with the abolition
of slavery manufacturing enterprises
should spring up in the Southern
states. Their growth has been amaz-
/ ing. In the one item of cotton manu-
facture the cotton spindles of the
South have increased in the last two
decades from $4,000 to 9,750,OO0,
while the capital invested in this in
dustry has doubled since 1900 But
with the development of the manufac-
turing interests the change of the
: habits of life for a large number of
people from a rural environment TO
that of city and village, from the till
ing of the soil to manufacturing and
commercial pursuits, has brought
other problems to be solved which are
rs new to the South as the great
change in the character of it's occupa-
tons. Unfortunately for the good
name of the South, its most promi-
nent industry has been the manufac-
ture of cotton, and this industry has
| llways been characterized by the en-
Dolyment of children. The cotton
mill in England was long noted for its
bad eminence in this regard 1t set
the example because from the very
nature of the employment the work
If children could be utilized with
: profit 1t took one hundred years of
restrictive legislation to put a model
child labor law upon the statute books
of England When the cotton milling
industry was transplanted to New
England the employment of children
| followed as a natural consequence.
The very machinery was adapted to
the size of the little workers. Even
now one of the leading manufacturers
of cotton mill machinery advertises
spooler with adjustable legs, for small
help. The South followed the eaxmple
of both England and New England in
| the wholesale employment of children
in the cotton mills. and has not yet
reached the standard of legislation on
this question which has been attained
by the rest of the civilized world The
children of the state or nation are its
MODEST asset. Childhood is the period
] for growth and play and for training.
