whatever.
Mrs. Bigham, the mother of DR..

in the mountains, and His Honor
Judge S. W. G. Shipp, who is else
where in the State.

Just little "thank you" but how
pleasant an act Of kindness or chiv-
airy will seem if only rewarded by
gracious "I thank you" Politeness
is never beyond the reach of anyone,
and it is the truest sign of good breed
ing. It is not more than right, and
it should be expected Of everyone, to
thank the people for any kindness
they may show us, whether it may be
their duty or not. How much more
willing we are to do for one when we
know that our work will be appreci-
ated by grateful thank you! If a
friend takes the trouble to send any
little token of love, no matter what,
common sense, if not decency, should
dictate that an acknowledgment,
either verbal or written, is expected.

INSPECTION PUTS OUT MANY.
Reports Have Been Recently Re-
ceived by Commissioner Watson.

Under the working of the child la
Dor law, about 5000 children have
been taken out of the various corpora
tions, including cotton mills, stores
and other enterprises employing chill
dren, during the present year. In
many instances these children have
been placed in the schools. All of
this has been accomplished without
any friction between the factory in
spectors and the mill officers and
without decreasing the efficiency OF
the mills and without injury to the
children or to their families. Ac-
cording to a tentative report issued
by Commissioner Watson, which is
made up from the reports of the in
spectors, cards and afldavits, the
total number of children employed
in the mills under. IA years Of age is
5,019, of which 2,729 are boys and
1850 girls. Of the 5,019 about 552
were under IL years of age and
working during the sum ner months
and will now 60 out, and of the 552
there were 314 boys and 23S girls.
Five hundred and ninety children
under II years of age (Which num-
Der is included in the 5,019) are
working under the parents disabil-
ity affidavits-326 boys and 22O
girls.
The total number of children un-
der IL years of age in the mills this
year was 1A4S, leaving 5s6 in the
mills at present. Taking out the
school children, there were 1854
less children in the mills this year
than in 1907, and 4,36S less than in
1905. The total number of children
in the mills, under 16 years of age,
in 1907 was s,121 and in 1905
$685.. The tentative report as SUBJ
mitted will be embraced in the an
nual report of the commissioner and
deals with a mill population of be-
tween 10000 and 100000. The
commissioner expressed himself as
being very much pleased with the
report and was surprised at the large
decrease in the number Of working
children.

Georgia Pours Liquor Into Aiken.

Aiken, Sept. 10.-The officers and
constables of this county have made
a good deal of complaint, because,
they allege, Aiken has been made
the dumping grounf for Augusta
liquor since the prohibition law
went into effect on Augut 3.
Several days ago the constables
we're busy watching the trolley cars
out of Augusta, and it is estimated
that in one day 500 quarts of liquor
were brought from Augusta. On one
car there were 130 passengers, and
nearly all of them carried the famil-
lar looking packages. The constables
succeeded in capturing 13 quarts OF
contraband goodies.
all of them carried the familiar look
ing packages. The consta6les sue
ceeded in capturing 13 quarts OF con-
traband goods.
The fact is that the law is being
rigidly enforced in this city and
vicinity, and not much of an oppor-
tunity is presented the blind tiger
patrons for purchasing in this sec
ton. The constables have kept in
behind them so closely that few vlo-
lations have been reported or heard
! of.
Despite the fact that some liquor is
brought from other places, the pro-
hibition law has seemingly created a
sentiment in it's favor in Aiken coun-
ty. Drunkenness has about gone out
of style, only two or three cases be-
ing reported since the law went into
effect.

DRANK LAUDANUM.
Life Of Young White Man at Gaff-
ney Barely Saved.

Gaffney, Sept. 11.-A young white
man, who seemed to be about 25
years of age, went into Robbins liv-
cry stable on Robertson street about
II o'clock to-day and when he reach
ed the rear of the building proceeded
to drink a bottle of laudanaum. A
negro who was working nearby ran to
him and told him to stop, but he con-
tinued drinking, and in few min
utes went into stupor. Drs. Pit
man and Steedley we're summoned
and succeeded in getting the poison
out of his stomach, and he is now
supposed te. be out of danger. The
young man lives in the Gaffney mill
village. He did not talk much and
gave no reason for his rash attempt
to take his own life. He gave his
name as Ed. Walker.

THE HEART CHORDS.
BY stuart q. Stone.

II was all wrong TO have named the
big, buff.brick apartment house the
Ticonderoga. With due regard TO the
traits OF its tenants. the great pie
should have been called the Cres'

about Mozart and Meyerbeer. For
the chords always strummed and the
strings forever twanged IN the art
crammed Ticonderoga.
Consequently. when Herr Winkler-
hon. with a delicious idea OF moon
light upon a shimmering lake In his
head. sat before his grand piano to
preserve the golden idea as master
piece for posterity, there were the
toot and the tinkle of notes from the
Moorish minaret above the tenth floor
TO the lordly janitor's quarters in the
basement.
