LABOR LEGISLATION.

In Review OF Labor Legislation of
1910, the American Association for La
Dor Legislation has given Il brief and
interesting statement concerning the
trend of law-making in this Country
| for the protection Of the Industrial
forces. on which so much depends.
From this Review it is learned that
| the legislatures of several states, par
ticuarly those of Illinois, New Jersey
| Ohio, Massachusetts, ana also tho Fed
eral government. have appointed labor
| commissions. In Ohio and New York
| the liability laws have been modified
| In favor of the injured, and for tho first
| time IN this country we now have a law
which provides compensation, in more
than one industry, for accidents, re-
gardless of fault In this law New
York included eight extra hazardous
employmcrts, Tho injured man has n
choice of accepting compensation ac-
cording to the given schedule or of SUI
ggunder the existing liability law.
New Jersey has provided for a com.
mission to report an Old-agc Pension
bill in 1911
some legislation refers to the hours or
labor The cight-hour day Is cstah-
lishcd on puhlic works in Kentucky,
Legislation affecting the hours and
working conditions of children was en-
acted in eight states and the District
of Columbia The night messenger serv-
ice was closed to young persons in
several states. and in New Jersey a
long struggle to prohibit the night work
of children met with final success.
Laws have been enacted for the pres
cryation Of the health and safety of
laborers. The Cherry mine disaster
stimulated Illinois to enact an elabo-
rate law concerning systems OF fire ex-
tinction in mines, signals, care of sta
bles. and storage Of fodder. IN Ken
lucky mine inspectors are provided
with oxygen helmets and other lifo-
saving apparatus The federal govern
ment has also established a Bureau OF

The venerable Albert Allison James,
one of the oldest and best known min
listers in South Carolina, if not in the
south. died at his home in PacOlet, last
Friday night at II o'clock, after long
and lingering illness, in the seth
year of his age, and was buried at
Union yesterday, the funeral services
being conducted by Rev. DR.. T. II. Law
Of Spartanburg.
A complete sketch of the life and
career Of Rev. A. A. James would come
pretty nearly including history of the
moral, religious and educational de-
velopment of large sections of Spar
tanburg and Union counties, and it
would be a story of faithful, earnest
labor in the service Of Christ and hu-
manty, the like of which few mortals
are ever permitted to perform.
Rev. Mr.. James was born in York
vile on June &c, 1924, received his
elementary education in the old field
schools of this county, took a full
course at Davidson college and was
graduated from the Columbia TheOl0g-
ical seminary in 1851, entering the
Presbyterian ministry Immediately af-
terward, and continued steadily in the
harness up to a few months ago, when,
by reg son of bodily infirmities, the still
willing spirit had to cease its labors.
Mr. Jamess first charge was Fair For
est in Spartanburg county, and he
continued to minister to that church
for many years, later dividing his SER

vice with the church at Spartanburg.
In the years following, he organized
the Presbyterian churches at Glenn's
Springs, Pacolet, Jonesville, Trough
Shoals, Enoree and perhaps others. At
one time or other he has served almost
every Presbyterian church in Spartan
burg and Union counties, and during
his long ministry he has a record of
having performed the marriage cere-
mony for more than five hundred cou-
pies. This is a matter Of actual rec
ord, not a guess.
At the breaking out of the war, he
was elected chaplain of the Eighteenth
South Carolina volunteers, consisting Of
four companies from Union, two from
Spartanburg, two from York, one from
Darlington and one from Anderson.
He accepted without hesitation, went
to the front with the regiment, and
kept close to his work to the end of the
war. While. of course, he was a nom
combatant, he shared all the dangers
of the men that he could, and won
from all Of them the highest possible
regard for himself, and the great cause
he represented.
After the war; Rev. Mr.. James went
back to Fair Forest, and continued his
work as stated on up to the end of his
long and useful life.

three sons and one daughter survives

II do not quite understand why you

He held out to her his long, thin,
bloodless hand.

taken in many things. My life will be

said of me that 1 failed to reverence
a woman such as you. All that I
thought of you. that first night l met
you, was more than true. And did I
not tell you you would one day, one
way, find your reward?"
He did not know what he said; but
I knew, and | spoke with him in the
silence of my own heart, knowing that
his speech would be the same were his
knowledge even with mine.

morrow evening there is to be what we
call ball of our diplomacy at the

knowing that war is soon to be an

your hand for my first dance in years

Impulsively she held out both her
hands, bowling her head as she did so
to hide her face. Two old gray men,
one younger man. took her hands and
kissed them.
