Miraculous, indeed, has been the
growth of the street railway systems
since 1888. Today there are nearly

According to a circular letter sent
out by the State superintendent OF
education to the county superintend-
ents, last election year 22 per cent. of
the Democratic voters in South Car
olina enrolled their names on the
club rolls with cross mark, indicat-
ing that they were unable to sign
their names. In other words there
are something like 10000 white male
persons in South Carolina above the
age of FL who cannot sign their
names. This is an appalling condi-
ton of affairs. There is now COM
pulsory school attendance law upon
the statutes of the State. Any school
district can invoke the enforcement
of this law very easily; yet, so far
as we know, not school district in
Bamberg county has availed itself of
this law. There is no reason to hope
that the present adult persons unable
to write will ever be able to do so;
but the county or the school district
can prevent this from being true as
regards the next generation. 1ndi-
vidually, the writer has never be-
lieved that the law should be local
optional; but, since it is so, let us
make the best of it. There are num-
bers of boys and girls right here in
Bamberg who do not attend school.
They should be compelled to attend.
The State and the county owe it to
the people at large to see that such
ignorance does not prevail. 1t is
dangerous to the State; it is danger
Gus to the county, and to the Demo-
cratic party.

The Democrats of the county are
reminded again of the fact that it
will be necessary for them to enroll
with their club secretaries or enroll
ment committees before they can
vote in the primaries this summer.
Under the new primary rules OF the
Democratic party in this State no
person can vote unless he is properly
enrolled. The enrolment books will
remain open until one month before
the first primary. See your secrs~
tary or a member of your local en-
rollment committee now while you
are thinking about it. Every white
man in the county eligible to vote
should participate in the primaries
Voters failing to enroll will have on
ly themselves to blame if they ne
glect to comply with the party regu-
lations.

HISTORY OF STREET CAR.
First Electric Vehicle Ran at Rich
mond, Va, % Years Ago.

The wonderful development of
electricity is best typifed by the mi
raculous. growth of the street car
which is less than 80 years old, and
yet has been installed in nearly
every important city. in the world.
In these few years electric traction
has been developed and extended un-
til there are, in this country alone,
nearly 1000 different companies in
operation, with a total capital stock
of more than s4,000,000,O0O. Be-
ginning in the larger cities, the elec-
trie service has been extended from
city to city, from village to village,
until it is now possible to make a
trip from Boston to St. Louis almost
entirely by trolley.
Twenty-eight years ago every large
city had it's horse cars and horse
drawn carry-alls. They are both Gu
riosities now. AS late as 1890 there
were not more than 1000 miles of
electric railways in the United States.
Early attempts to use electricity
as motive power resulted in: few
scientific toys before 1882. Thomas
Davenport, the Vermont blacksmith,
who invented the electric motor in
1885, constructed toy car, which
ran around a circular track. Three
years later a Scotch inventor made a
small electric locomotive. A number
of such locomotives were built dur
ing succeeding years until the Berlin
exposition in 1879, when Messrs.
Siemens and Halske constructed an
electric line of about-~a third of a
mile in length. The first regular
commercial line in the world was at
Lichterfelde, near Berlin,' operating
in 1880, but was not a success. Edi-
son, Field, Van Depoele, Knight and
many others experimental in electric
traction at this time.
The first actually successful com.
mercial electric railway, i. e., the
first electric operation of the COM
plete street railway lines of city,
was established in 1887, in Rich
mond, Va. The road began operat-
ing in February, 1888, and was es-
sentially the overhead trolley system
now used, comprised II miles of
track, had 80 cars operating in July,
1888, and has been in continuous
and successful operation ever since.
The phenomenal development and
growth of electric street railway trac-
ton revolutionized not only city, but
also suburban and interurban trans
portation. From 1890 up to the
present the mileage has steadily in
creased at the average of about g.

900 miles per year. In the develop

900 miles per year. In the develop
ment and improvement of motors and
other apparatus essential to electric
traction, the General Electric COM
pany has figured with marked promi-
nence. In 1895 electric rail-
way equipment reached what might
be considered a staple basis of de-
sign. Fundamental features, such as
the enclosed motor, carbon brushes,
series drum winding, single reduc-
ton gearing, magnetic controller and
the undermining trolley had then
become established. There were in
service at this time approximately
$4,000 motor cars equipped with
about a half a million horse power
of motors. A great many of the
pioneer car motors were too small
for the work, because early designers
did not appreciate the amount of
power required to accelerate car.
In 1895 the average rating of rail-
way car motors was 25-horse power.
Other forms of street railway propul-
sion gradually disappeared until
about 1900, when electric operation
was practically supreme. Then there
existed some 10000 miles of city
electric railways. From 1900 to
1910 the electric railway extended
rapidly to suburban and interurban
transportation. Coincident with this
development there was tremendous
increase in the size and weight of
cars. The average horse power of
railway motors increased from 35-
horse power in 1900 to 63-horse
power in 1910, and large interurban
cars were equipped with four motors,
while city cars generally were equip
ped with two.
This increase in power brought
about great improvements in control
ling apparatus. The multiple unit
control for the operation of cars in
trains on elevated and subway lines,
interurban roads and later for regu-
lar surface cars was developed. With
the simplifcation of control was also
introduced forced motor ventilation,
reduction in the weight of motor
equipments and increase in efficiency,
improvement in communication and in
PRODUCTION of Communication poles, per-
fection of air brake apparatus, intro
duction of field control, etc.
Since that early morning twenty
years ago, when the first electric car
glided over the rails in the streets of
Richmond, motors have been brought
to such a point of perfection that
electric cars are rapidly encroaching
on the steam engine and threaten to
take it's place entirely in a few years.
The principles which Sprague used in
the construction of the first car and
power line are about the same as in
actual use today. He invented the

RELIGION CAUSES
 FIGHT AT FACTORY
One Upholds Catholicism and
 Other Thinks HebraiC Better

Religion and politics are two sub jects which since time immemorable have been capable of starting riots and wars quicker than anything else. It was the former subject that caused bloody fight between two young men at the gates of the P. & F. Cor bin factory yesterday noon which had it's echo in police court this morning.
 Catholicism vs. Hebraic
 A quarrel, starting in fun, over the relative merits of the Catholic and Hebrew religion precipitated the trouble Among the employees at the factory is a young boy named John Maloney and a 19-year old youth named Joseph Berson. The religion which each professes is obvious Yes- terday morning each made light of the others religious beliefs Berson knelt on the factory floor and lifting his folded hands gave what he termed a burlesque on the Catholic method of prayer, according to the story told by Maloney in court. In return Maloney said he waved his hands violently through the air, salaamed deeply and muttered a gib- perish to show Berson his conception of the Hebraic style or prayer. These acts precipitated the trouble and Berson is alleged to have threatened an attack.
 Swider on Preparedness.
 Here entereth one Walter Swder, who took Maloney's part and in formed Berson that the little Irish boy was too small to fight with and if he wanted to do any fighting he ought to take someone his own size, himself for instance. BersOn is credited with replying that he would take SWider on any day in the week. Swider did not retreat from his stand l and then and there it was agreed that l factory gates at 12:45 o'clock and i finish it out" Swider was there at l the appointed hour. Berson came along few minutes later. Each youth removed his coat and as soon as ] Berson made the first belligerent | move SWider gave satisfactory evi- ] dence of his preparedness. The two ! youths fought their way across Or l chard street and when the dust of the | conflict had cleared away SWider was | Qnscathed while BersOn was nursin 8 | two discolOred eyes, bleeding nose 1 and divers other marks of the battle. Berson then sought out the police and prosecuting attorney. InVestiga-
 tiOn showed both men to be at fault, but BersOn insisted that SWider be arrested so Prosecutor klett issued d warrant charging both Berson and
