The Designer

For March is certainly an interesting
number. 1t is filed with excellent
reading matter valuable to the house
hold. The colored and other fashion
plates are superb and represents the
very latest fashions in almost all
LADIES' and children's garments. while
the styles of hats are pretty to behold.
In fact, we cannot see how any lady
can get along without The Designer.

EXTINCTION, s. c. WEDNESDAY, FEB. IL, 1913

from the Senate committee with ia.
vorable report, which gives it fine
start on the Senate side. The chances
are decidedly in favor of the passage
of the measure by the Senate.
MEDICAL COLLEGE BILL.
The Charleston Medical College bill
is now in first class shape for final
adoption.
RAILROAD RATES.
There has been much said about the
tWo-cent rate bills and the bills look
ing to change of the present mileage
situation. AS a result of the apparent
tangle a bill has been introduced ask
ing for the repeal Of the present law
requiring railroads to pull mileage
books on trains, and in this wise get
back to the old system by which rail-
roads accepted interchange bic mile
age in this State. The two-cent rate
bill has divided report in the House,
the majority in favor of it and the
minority opposed. On She Senate side
the report on the same measure is
unanimously unfavorable, and that is
regarded as a bad omen for the pas
sage of any measure.
EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.
At the beginning Of the session the
question of employers liability and
workingmen s compensation loomed
up in importance, and the outlook was
that something would be done on the
important question. The conflict of
views were so great and the possibility
CT getting together so remote that the
prospect now is that nothing will be
done along these lines for the present
and that in future some well digested
plan will be adopted.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
There is good deal of interest be-
ing taken in the compulsory eoCcatIon
bills, but the chances are that there
viii be no radical legislation, but
rather the gradual approach of the
subject and experimenting with the
plan in such counties as are more
wide-awake and recognize the 'impor-
tance of compulsory education.

Water Works.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

TO the EultOr OF tn6 D1Spatcn:
Iwant to say a word about the
water works for Lexington, S. c. I
think it is very much needed and will
add much for progressiveness and be
a stimulant to induce interested
parties to build houses in Lexington.
1t will make taxes little higher, but al
tho same time reduce expenses in
insurance, and >the satisfaction it
affords in knowing that life and prop
erty is better protected will suffice for
the extra taxes.

WEST BURKE
Death of Mrs. Bartlett-WOrked in
First Cotton Mill in America


Mrs. Rebecca Ann Bartlett died
Sept. Is at the advanced age of SO
wears. two months and three days.
Mrs. Bartlett was born at Palmer,
Mass. July IL, 1917, being the
daughter of Josiah and Rebecca
(Shumway) Dean. She was mar
ried in 1888 to Samuel Bartlett OF
Sutton and left one son, Samuel Bart
lett of this place and daughter,
Mrs. E. S. Tracy of Brockton, Mass.
The funeral was held at West Burke
on the 18th, Rev. J. Q. Angel Off
ciating, and the interment was at
Sutton. Mrs Bartlett had a shock
about two years ago and had been
in poor health ever since. She pos
sessed a remarkable memory and
was fond of telling of her early life,
which in some ways was exceedingly
interesting. When she was only
eight years old she began work in
the first cotton mill built in Ameri-
ca. This was at Webster, Mass, and
the founder of the factory was Sam
ueI Slater, the pioneer cotton manu-
facturer of the United States. Mrs.
Bartlett could recall the time when
Mr.. Slater first conceived the idea
of building a mill in this country
and, how he went over to England,
where he learned his trade, visited
his old factory there and made plans
for a similar building in Massachu-
sets. There are probably few living
who can recall these events or who
can boast as Mrs Bartlett could OF
a personal acquaintance with Samuel
Slater

For Second Time in Two Weeks H. w. Ryder Home Appears to Have Been Set Afre by Unknown Individual

For the second time within less cendiary origin has visited the home of H. w.

 The Ryder family was at the eve cnng meal when the odor of smoke was detected issuing from front bedroom There had been no fire in the room and there are no electric light wires in the building to have become crossed. When the room door was thrown open it was found that the entire interior of the room was in flames.
 An alarm was tclcphoncd t. the fire engine ouse and Box r. was sounded. II was only one square from the department headquarters
 
 start two streams playing upon the building. Such headWay had been ] gained that 1t was with difficulty that anything V&s saved from the burn l ing building As it was the greater 1 part of the furniture was destroyed 1 or damaged
 l The first fire was discovered one morning about two weeks ago and | from the fact that il occurred in a | part of the building where there was no stove and apparently no means o1 i combustion, t was pretty generally l believed by th" RyderS as well as bN l Fire Chief Sullivan that an incen- | diary had been at work The fire oi last evening strengthens the belle that an effort is being made by some l person to destroy the Ryder home.
