tile education for mill operatives at
the same time that they are working
in the mills. The idea is to arrange
recitation periods SO that young mill
boys can work for living and edu-
cate themselves along textile lines
at the same time. BY limiting the
number of the schools to those coun-
ties having not less than 5000 oper-
atiyes, the bill provides but for sever
al of these schools. as only several
counties In the state have that many
mill operatives.
The bill seems to US to have es
pecially worthy one. Not since the
opening OF the cotton mill. era in
South Carolina has anything been
done by the state to lend assistance
to ambitious cotton mill boys nor
much been done to- provide fofsf the
raising OF the standard OF cotton mill
life. Though the state has provided
munificently for higher textile educa-
tion at Clemson college,, cotton mill
boys have neither the means with
which to pay tuition and board there
nor sufficient education to compete
successfully for the, scholarship. SO
they have until now been completely
barred from securing textile education
other than that procured by expert
ence In the mill itself In these pro-
posed schools, the mill boys will be
enabled to make a living and secure
textile education at the same time.
Several schools OF this kind in the
state would prove beneficial, not only
to the laborers themselves, but to the
mills. When the mill management
Will have a more competent and bet
ter trained body OF men to draw their
foremen and superintendents from.
they will be In position to manu-
facture better grades Of goods and at
lower cost than heretofore. making
for increased prosperity and better
ment of mill conditions in general
When such schools are begun, the
more ambitious of the young mill op-
eratives will be provided the means
for advancement which they hereto
fore have not had. The State owes it
to them and to the mill industry to
provide these schools and we believe
that the legislature would act wisely
in providing for them.

Terrific Bombardment.

London, Feb. 4.-Terriflc lombard
ment of the forts around Adrianople
was begun last evening by 100000 Bull
garian and Servian troops Almost at
the moment the armistice ended, the
great guns opened fire, and not even
the residential portion of the city was
spared. Some OF the authorities look
for prolonged seige, but one dis
patch says that the fortress will fall
within two weeks.
The Burgarians are said to have
half million men in the Province of
Thrace and $4,000 Servians and few
divisions of the Greeks assisting them.
The greater part OF this force was
compelled to remain in front of Tch-
atalja at Gallipoli, in order to hold the
Turkish armies concentrated at these
places. 1t is possible that the allies
may attack both OF these positions.
The Turkish army at Tchatalja was
greatly improved during the arms-
tice. The great drawbacks to the
Turks is in the quarreling among the
officers, which must tend to und9-
mine the efficiency of the army.

or Greenville, but he has always felt
that there are certain rights involv-
ed in the location OF an institution
that cannot be ruthlessly thrown aside
and that this was case in point He
gives others full liberty to think 9TH
erwise. Greenville had certain rights
in the matter of Chicora College that
are the result of the history of the
college itself, and this certainly was
recognized by some of those who vot-
ed againest'the acceptance OF the fine
offer made by the citizens of Laurens.
There was an underlying sense of JUS
tice to Greenyille against which the
advocates Of ,Laurens had to- contend
that was more effective than any
amount Of money. Many felt that the
plan to move the college because
Greenvllle declined to pay debt con
tracted by other parties, looked. too
much like a scheme to punish the
Presbytertans Of that city for con-
tumacy. Aud this, while admitting
that Greenville should have come up
to the help Of the college endowment
canvass in much more liberal way
than she did. But that there Is any
opposition to Laurens by the Clinton
people is very grave mistake If the
college was to be moved, Laurens
would be our choice. We are sorry
that our Laurens friends feel bad
about it. We thing that on the other
hand they should be very proud of
their achievement. And Clinton does
feel proud of them and of their en-
deavors. We still think that there is
no reason why Laurens should not
have a Womans College of her own.
We do not hesitate to say that If
Clinton could raise $4,000 for such a
purpose, she would have that college
In spite OF everything and everybody.

GEORGE s. LEGARE
LAID TO REST

tend Services. Senators and Rep

to be Present at Ceremonies.
Charleston, Feb. 3,-F'uneral SER
vices over the body Of Congressman
George S. Legare were held yesterday
afternoon at I o'clock at the Second
Presbyterian Church in the presence
OF such an assemblage as Charleston
has seldom seen gathered together to
pay last tribute to one of her sons.
Over two thousand people assembled
IN and around the church, while about
half that number followed the funeral
cortege to Magnolia Cemetery, where
the interment took place. Amid the
tears of many hundreds the bo'y was
laid to rest
People began assembling at the late
Congressman's residence, at the corn
er of Bee street and Ashley avenue,
shortly after 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning. Friends by the hundreds
had visited the house during Friday

they were as nothing compared with
the numbers that journeyed to the
residence yesterday morning.
MOurned by all Glasses.
One who stood by yesterday morning
and watched the hundreds come and
go could not but be struck by the tre-
mendous personal magnetism which
must have been his who lay there
cold In death. Those who came to see
him for the last time were from every
order and class Df people, and the
fact that George l. are was loved by
rich and poor, high and low alike was
forcibly brought out. Among the Wis
itors were half a hundred negroes,
men and women, who had worked for
the Legare family or had known the
Congressman in one way or another
and had begged to be allowed to see
his remains. That these negroes felt
genuine loss was easily perceived.
Men prominent in the affairs Of the
nation were there, and there were
those who are reckoned as the lowly
ones; but on that occasion they were
all as one and death, the common lev
eller, brought tears and sighs from
all. There was the touch that made
the whole world kin.

ours mt the Tchatalia Lines.
London, Feb. 3.-The Turkish Bal
kan war has been resumed. The bom-
bardment Of Arianople began at 7
o'clock tonight and small skirmish
occurred at the Tchatalja lines. The
armistice had lasted exactly two
months.
Bulgaria has turned a deaf ear to
the remonstrances Of the powers and
unless Turkey yields to the Balkan
demands the allied armies will now
attempt to drive her completely out
Of Europe.
According to dispatch from Bel
grade tonight. Scutari already is on
the point Of falling. 1t is reported
that the Turkish commander has sent
two representatives to the Servian
commander to propose the capitula-
tion Of that town.
No Further Armistice.
DR.. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian
delegation, in an interview in Paris
tonight, said he had promised Sir
Edward Grey, the British foreign
secretary that if the Turks immedi-
ately accepted the allies conditions,
they would conclude peace, but what
ever happened there would be no
further armistice.
Sir Edward Grey had long inter-
view with the king today, after which
he attended a BRIEF meeting Of the
ambassadorial conference, but moth
ing OF Importance was transacted.
Says Turks VIII Fight.
Osman Miami Pasha, the second
Turkish delegate, will leave London
tomorrow to resume his ambassado-
rial duties at Berlin. He said this
evening that from information receiv-
ed from military sources he believed
the allies underestimated the condi-
tion Of the Turkish army, and would
find themselves confronted by a re-
doubtabe emery, the best Mussul-
man warriors, veterans from Arabia,
who had fought under Izzet Bey and
tried soldiers and good marksmen
lately engaged in Tripoli under Enyer
Bey and Fethy Bey.
He added "The ambassador was
right VINO predicted that If driven to
despair the Turks would fight like
wild animals"

ON BUSINESS BASIS.

Discussion Of the principal points at
issue in the mayoralty campaign has
been sidestcpped in the argument
whether or not the water and light
business Of the city Is showing pro-
fit. This has nothing to do with the
true merits OF the situation for, even
II IL were showing a profit, which we
deny, the profit would be at the ex-
pense of the individual users of light
and power instead of the city as a
whole. Getting back to the questions
that should be uppermost in the minds
cry voter should find out from the
candidates in the field their views on
the questions of vital interest to the
city, such as publicity of expenditures
and receipts. economy in administra-
tion OF affairs and especially as to

them all. That the indifference of re-
cent administrations to the rights and
demands OF the taxpayers in this re-
spect has caused Widesread dissatis-
faction Is a settled fact. That the
cty's affairs would have been in bet
ter shape than they are II the people
had been taken into the confidence of
the council and had been allowed the
opportunity to raise objection when in
tolerable measures were on foot, is
taken for granted because of their
present state of mind. Doubtless If the
citizens had known that in one year
the council was to spend $4,000 in wa
ter and electric light extension they
would have raised such objections that
large part of this sum would have
been applied to the sinking fund. in
paying off some OF the floating lndebt-
edness or in warding off the increas-

this year.

The Laurens Advertiser seems to be
somewhat upset because at recent
meeting of the Presbytery of Enoree
at Spartanburg, the Clinton brethren
who were present spoke and voted to
retain Chicora College at Greenville.
Our friend seems to think that this
was the result OF opposition or jeal-
ousy or some similar wrong feeling
on the part of Clinton men. We think
that this is an unjust view to take OF
the situation. It is to be supposed
that a member OF Presbytery Is actu-
ated by conscientious motives and not
by selfshness or enmity or any such
spirit. We can only speak for our
selves, personally. The writer has

Southern Mills Making Fine Goods.

On this page today there appears a
news item from the Daily News Trade
Record of New York concerning
the great strides now being made
by Southern mills. 1t is only few
years since the textile plants OF the
South were combining their manufac-
lures almost entirely to the coarser
and cheaper grades OF cloth, being
content to supply on ly China and
other out-of the-way territory with
material for coolies shirts and
pants but now the metamorphosis
has occurred, and Southern mill men
are demonstrating that they know
how to make as fine goods as can
be produced anywhere.
The article from the New York
publication refers specifically to the
goods manufactured by the Watts
mill in Laurens, though practically
the same quality of goods is being
made by several OF the up-to-date
Greenville mills.
1t is indeed a good sign when the
manufactures of Southern plants are
recognized as trade eaders.-Green-
