Rural Police.

Representative McCravey has
introduced a bill in the house TO
provide for rural policemen in
this county, We have not been
favored with a copy of the bill
and therefore DO not know any-
thing Of its provisions. If it
is intended to create any new
offices or entail additional c1-
pense on the taxpayers OF the
county we are opposed to it and
hope it will be killed. We are
taxed now to the burden point
and trust our representatives
will not put any more on US.
Another reason why it should
be killed is we do not need them
There is less lawlessness and
crime in this county now and
for the past several years than
for many previous years. Last
year we only had two terms OF
court. The spring term lasted
four days, half Of which was

taken up with civil matters.
At the Summer. term less than
one day was consumed and only
one criminal case was tried, and
in that case d verdict Of not
guilty was returned upon the
states testimony by instruction
of the judge without argument.
And we had no fall term Of
court at all. The Sherid. Cons
tables and town policeman have
the situation well in hand and
have been able SO far to enforce
the laws. The truth SIS their
services are rarely needed be-
cause the people of this county
are law abiding and have leasn-
ed to behave themselves.

Factory Inspection.

Factory Inspection.
Gov. Blease has made much
ado about his economical ad-
ministration. In his first mes
sage to the General Assembly
he called attention number OF
times to various sums which
had been saved to the people by
reason Of his veto of certain ap-
preparations. He laid special
stress and emphasis upon one
appropriation in particular, and
called attention to it not only in
his first general message but
sent a special message, and that
was III reference to the factory
inspection law.
In 1909 the Legislature pass
ed a law providing for the in
spection of all factories and
other industrial plants for the
purpose of seeing that the laws
were complied with.
These inspectors were author
lied by law to enter all build
ings subject to the provisions of
the law and examine the
methods of protection from ac-
-eessdents, the means of escape
from fire, the sanitary provis-
Ions and means of ventilation,
and as to the employment Of
children and women. This law
provided for two inspectors to
be appointed by the Commiss
ioner of Agriculture and should
each receive a salary of 81, 200
and travelling expenses of not
more than $500 each.
the last session G9lD of
the GeasashAssembly an appro-
priation was made to cover the
salary and expenses of this
department, but Gov. Blease
vetoed it. That meant there
would be no inspectors appoint
ed and no industrial establish
ments inspected during 1911.
In his 25th message to the
General Assembly he gives his
reasons for his veto of this ap-
preparation, which we here re-
produce:
Message No. 25. State of
South Carolina, executive de-
partment.
To the Honorable, the mem
bers of the General Assembly of
State Of South Carolina.
Gentlemen: When I vetoed
certain amounts fo- inspectors
at the last session of the general
assembly, it was my intention
to save this amount to the State
by having my State and county
detectives do the work that had
been provided for these inspec-
tors, but when various counties
refused to pay my detectives, of
course, this hampered me in the
discharge of my duties, but in
order to have this work thoro-
.sghl+ .esgh4+ done, I appointed Col.
Leon NJ. Green as Inspector, and
I herewith submit to you his de-
tailed report. I paid him for
this work $1,000. I am salts
fed that it was more thoroughly
done than if it had been done,
by inspectors as provided Tor in
that act, and, it has been done,
as you see, at quite a saving,
for the two inspectors would
have cost, for the year So, 400,
including sheir expenses, while
the amount mentioned here as
paid to Col. Green covers salary
and all expenses, Col. Green,
having made his full report, re-
tired from the service on De-
cember 81, 1911.
Very respectfully,
Cole L, Blease,

publication.
In response to this letter, we
have received the following re-
plies:
Dear Sir: Replying to your
inquiry regarding Mr.. L. NJ.
Green, the factory inspector ap-
pointed by Gov. Blease, will say
he did not inspect the Pickens
mill during 1911. In fact, if Mr..
Green has ever been in Pickens
I do not know anything about
it. The last inspector we had
to inspect the mill was Mr.. S.
NJ. Sloan, =nd, as well as I re-
member, that was during the
summer of 1910.
Yours respectfully,
John I. Abercrombie,
Superintendent
Pickens, S. c., Jan. a. II
Dear Sir: Your favor of this
date at hand, and in reply will
say, L. NJ. Green has never been
here. Never heard of him till I
read in The State that he had
done the factory inspection
work all by himself, and Blease
said he had done a good job.
Ha. Ha!
Yours truly,
T. Hamilton,
Superintendent.
Cateechee, Jan. %.
Dear Sir: Replying to your
favor Of the 23d, addressed to
our superintendent, would say
that Mr.. L. NJ. Green, factory
inspector, did not visit our mill
during 1911.
Yours truly
Glenwood Cotton Mill,
W. NJ. HagOod,
Pres Treas.
Dear Sir: Your letter Of the
23d inst, sent to Easley and for
warded here, making inquiry in
regard to what inspection, if
any, was made by Mr.. L. M.
Green, received.
He never visited the mill at
all, and all this talk of Governor
Blease in regard to inspection is,
in my opinion, another one Of
his hallueinations.
Yours truly,
Easley Cotton Mill.
J. NJ. Geer,
President.
It is verv evident from these
letters that Mr.. Green failed to
perform a part of his duties in
not visiting and inspecting the
mills of this county. We have
seven cotton mills, which en-
ploy hundreds Of hands, and
these mills are among the best
and largest in the State. But
does Mr.. Green know anything
about them except that which
has been told him by some one
else2
Has he given the same thor
ough" inspection of mills and
other industrial plants in the
State that he gave those of this
It would be interesting
to know how many mills he did
visit and inspect. II his work
was as thoroughly done in
other parts of the State as in
Pickens county, hs had a de-
lightfully fat job at $500 per
lying around Columbia.
The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1912-02-01

It has been stated that Mr..
Green was employed for five
months for which he was paid
5000 per month or $1,000. This
is at the rate of s2,400 per year
for one man which is equal to
the salary provided by law for
the two inspectors. How much
work or how many mills Mr..
Green visited we do not know
and it is probable no one else
knows except him. One thing
is certain, however, he did not
visit nor inspect the Cotton mills
of this county. The Governor
takes special pains to commend
Mr.. Green's work for he said
''I am satisfied it was more
thoroughly done than if it had
been done by inspectors as pro-
.vided for in that act. Let US
see how thoroughly the work
was done. Tt has been charged
in the press that, the report sub
mitted by Mr.. Green to Gov.
Blease. and by Governor Blease
transmitted to the General AS
was largely made up of
from the report of
Commissioner Watson. Com
oarison of the two reports have
been made and in many re-
spects they are Identical, which

shows that the information
given by Mr.. Green was not
gained by his personal inspec-
tion of industrial plants in the
of his duties but from
facts gatherd by some one else.
Further, seeing the statement OF
the Governor that this work had
been so thoroughly done by Nr
Green, the editor of this paper

Turning from these fantastic, though interest

plantations of the formation of these beautiful
products of nature.
You have, doubt, often shells of
molluscs lined with a smooth anr iridescent coat
ing, which is called mother of-pearl
This coating like the rest of the SHE'LL is pro-
duced by the animal, and is made up mostly of
carbonate of lime and organic matrix which
usually presents laminated texture You must
have noticed that the color and briliancy of this
layer differ in various species Of shells. For
instance. in the ordinary oyster 1t is of lustre-
less white, and in kind of shell called abalone
shell (IIaliotis), the nacre is of green
ish blue tinge, changing to purple you turn 1t
in your hand. In another kind, known the
bacli-lippedshell. Margartifera), the mother-of-
pearl is of greenish black color. In the shells
of the true pearloysters the nacre is of clear,
delicate white, which has the sheen OF floss silk
family tinted with azure. exhibiting beautiful
play of color-a quality which makes these shells
OF great value in commerce.
Now IT often happens that foreign substances.
such as sand grains, microscopic organisms OF
times even small fishes become introduced by ac-

tissues of the molluscs soft body In such cases.
the animal sometimes begins to deposit part OF
the material which goes to form the nacreous
layer OF the shell around these foreign
objects and material is added year after
year in the form of layers these concretions
which may at first be very tiny grow to be OF
a considerable size. And when this takes place
in shell with specially beautiful nacre such
