viii Bar Products of Child Labor.

Congressman Byrnes deserves the
highest commendation for the fight he
led against the passage of the bill pro-
hibiting the delivery for transportation
by interstate commerce of products of
labor of children under ID years of age
and products of the labor of children
between IA and 16 who work more than
eight hours a day. 1t appears that
this law, which passed in spite of vigor-
Gus protest from congressman. will
work hardship upon many manufac-
turing plants and their operatives in
the South. Only in very few in
stances are children of tender age en-
ployed in southern factories, and in
these isolated cases there is some rea-
son for their working, being orphans or
dependent upon invalid parents. Con-
gress should leave questions like this
Ito be worked out in each State, as
Bbcal conditions vary. Mr.. Byrnes
made hard fight upon the ground
What it was an interference of States
rights.

Teachers Should Organize.

The county superintendent of educa-
tion who is always alert for an oppor-
tunity to give additional stimulus to
education in the county, issues call
in this issue of The Advertiser to the
teachers of the county to meet on the
9th dayof Marchfor the purpose of form
inga county teachers association. Mr..
Fuller is right. There should be in this
and every other county in the State an
organization of teachers, and each
county organization should be part
and parcel of the State association.
Physicians, dentists, editors, lawyers,
farmers and others find it mutually
helpful to come together at stated in
tervalsl and exchange ideas, methods.
etc. Then, why will not teachers find
personal contact through organization
equally as profitable? We trust that
every teacher in the county will
respond to the call of Mr.. Fuller and
give him every possible cooperation in
his efforts to form and maintain a
teachers association.

Heart and Honor Left.

"Breathes there man with soul SO
dead" that he is not touched by this IN
cident: A French soldier who had been
taken prisoner by the Germans wrote
personal note to Emperor William
stating that his mother was at the
point of death in Paris and if he would
grant him leave to visit her he would
promise on honor to return by the first
day of March. The Emperor promptly
granted the request and the Frenchman
journeyed to Paris by way of Switzer-
land. After his mother died he re-
turned at once to the detention camp
in Germany. The incident shows that
the oft-abused old Kaiser has yet a
sympathetic cord in his breast and it
shows too that French soldiers may
have sacrificed heavily but they have
not sacrificed their honor.

A Farmer For Governor.

The Advertiser was pleased to see
that Governor Manning attended the
Fertilizer and Economy meeting of
farmers in Columbia Saturday, partici-
pating in the discussion of questions of
vital interest to farmers. Governor
Manning is farmer, large portion
of his property consisting of valuable
farm lands in Sumter county. Being
personally interested in the develop
ment of the agricultural interests of
the State, it is but natural and reason
able to expect the Governor to be con-
stantly on the alert to promote the
welfare of farmers. The Advertiser is
confident that, in the language of Colo
mel Roosevelt, the people Of all classes
and professions will receive Square
deal' at the hands of Governor Man
ming, but if he should, unconsciously,
have leaning to any particular class,
it will be towards the farmer. This is
as it should be, as farmers outnumber
all Of the other professions and callings
in South Carolina combined.

Old s.Invoice of Subsistence

haps the meagre facts here given
will be of some interest to persons
who were living at that time, es-
pecially Confederate soldiers.

Relief Ship Loading.

St. Helena, the good ship which is tc
take South Cardinals contribution tc
the Belgians, has arrived at Charleston
and is now being loaded. The value OF
the cargo, consisting of food, clothing
and medical supplies, is around $780,
600. The people of North Carolina
and Georgia also had part in sending
this splendid gift to those suffering
people. AS the St. Helena speeds its
way across the Atlantic on it's mission
of mercy, all who had even a small
part in making this gift will reap hap
pinessff from the thought that already
those suffering people have beer ap-
prised by cable of the departure of the
ship and that from the other shore of
the Atlantic their sunken eyes are ca
gerly watching for its arrival. Let not
the work for the Belgians be discon-
tinued. AS long as there are suffering
women and children in that war-strick-
en- country who are without the neces-
sites of life, let us give them por-
tion of our bountiful supply.
Bon voyage to the St. Helena!

Honest Primary Elections.
agenent.

The general assembly has acted wise
ly and we'll in enacting law that will
safeguard primary elections. 1t was
largely through the efforts of Senator
B. E. Nicholson, who had charge of
the measure in the senate, that the
law was passed. While we have not
seen the text of the act, it appears
that it embraces practically all of the
rules that were adopted by the State
convention last summer. The new
rules under which the primary was
held last summer proved to be entirely
satisfactory. Feeling that hereafter
primary elections will be honestly con-
Quoted in Sou,h Carolina: one looks
more hopefully to the future of the
State. Without honest elections Demo-

Passed by Large Malorities.

The tremendous majorities-ss to II
in the House and SO to 9 in the senate
by which the Statewide prohibition
referendum passed last week is exceed
ingly encouraging to those throughout
South Carolina who have been working
for the suppression of the whiskey
business. The strong and very active
sentiment for Statewide prohibition IN
both legislative bodies will give an
impetus, to the campaign which will be
conducted in the interest of the move
ment next summer. The election Will
be held September Ia, and it is practl-
cally certain that vast majority OF
the people will declare themselves Tor
Statewide prohibition.

A Word to Bachelors.

An order has been issued in France
to the effect that every man who is
the father of six children will be the
last to be sent to the front, which
rather implies that all bachelors will
be the first to face shot and shell. That
is as it should be. Having nothing to
live for, bachelors should not mind
giving their lives to their country. AS
America may yet become involved, all
bachelors on this side of the water had
better take warning.
