more than ten hours any one day.
Another would allow children be-
tween the ages of IL and ID years to
work in cotton mills when schools
are not in session. The law prevents
the employment of children under IA
years of age. This bill is by Repre-
sentative Horton of Lancaster and
has passed the lower house. Both are
on second reading in the senate.
Another measure of statewide in
terest on second reading in the SEN
ate is that by Senator McCutchen of
Williamsburg. Provisions of the bill
are to place all male convicts over II
years old under the control Of the
board of directors of the state peni.
tentiary, thereby creating a state
road building force to be used ir
building a state system of roads.

Other Matters

The Columbia State calls attention
to the other measures herewith which
may occupy the attention of the as
sembly:
Another important measure on Sec
ond reading in the lower house is
that by Messrs. Davis and Kinard to
prohibit free tuition at state institu-
tions of higher learning. The bill pro-
poses the abolishing of state scholar
ships and the creation of a loan
fund for worthy students. Benefici-
aries of the fund would be allowed
to attend any school of their choice,
whether state or denominational col
lege. The plan has had the indorse-
ment of Governor Cooper, and a
strong fight will likely be made for
its passage this year.
The bill by the house committee
on fish, game and forestry, pro-
posing to abolish the office of state
game warden and to devolve the
duties on county game wardens, is
also on second reading.
Measures pending in the upper
house are also of equal import. A
resolution on second reading, the au-
thor being Senator Ridgell of Lex
ington, would provide for the erect
ion of an administration building for
all department ofthe state govern
ment now occupying rented quar-
ters.
Another bill by Senator Laney and
Banks would create a state board of
exports any marketing. This bill was
introduced upon suggestion of w.
P. G. Harding, governor of the fed
eral reserve board, who was invited
to Columbia last year by w. B. Har-
ris, commissioner of agriculture, and
while in Columbia addressed the two
houses of the general assembly.
Senator Christensen has a bill on
second reading in the senate which
would provide for a complete survey
by the state tax commission of all
lands of the state. The need of this
measure has been strongly urged, as
it is pointed out that many thousands
of acres OF valuable lands, particu-
larry in The swamp areas and coastal
sections of the state are escaping
taxation.
Several bills regulating textile in
dustries are also pending. One by
Senators Pearcc and Rodgers would
prevent the working of employees

law could be enforced.

law COulQ De eulOICeu.
An inheritance tax law will meet
with the generaI approval of the
people of the state, but for some rca-
son it has failed OF passage in re-
cent years.
During the past year the state tax
commission has revised il. a great
many particulars the taxes on vari-
Gus grades of property, and has in
creased the taxable valuations of the
state. Ever since the commission
was established, at each succeeding
session of the general assembly,
there has been a fight on it, but it
has weathered the storm. There has
been no threat, so far, of fight on
it at this session.
The Boil Weevil.
The farmers will probably ask for
some legislation at this session, look
ing towards meeting the boil weevil.
The state association of farmers has
adopted several resolutions, which, if
carried into effect would require
legislative action.
The members of the general as
sembly will begin to arrive here to-
morrow night. Most of the impor-
tant matters which have been sug-
gested in advance are already
familiar to them, and it is probable
that upon most of them they have al
ready made up their minds.
Taxation; roads, and other matters
more urgent at this time than ever
before, and the necessity more pecu-
liarly at this time for constructive
legislation, they have in mind.
Woman's Suffrage.
The Susan B. Anthony amendment
to the federal constitution will of
course, be one of the important pro-
posals. What the legislature will do
with it is yet problematical.
The women have a strong follow
ing in the matter in this state, which
would be stronger if a state enact
ment were proposed, rather than the
ratification of a federal enactment
which is surrender of states rights
However, in view of the fact that on
the ratification of the prohibition
amendment, some of those now
against the suffrage amendment on
that very ground, did not take that
INTO consideration, and have forgo.
their stand at that time, the women
have a better chance. Irrespective
Of the merit Of equal suffrage, it is
q dangerous thing for the Legislature
to do, to surrender vital right Of

CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP
NV John K. Aun in the Newberry
gSse, Herald and News.)

Columbia, Jan. 12.-The leglsla-
ture will convene tomorrow.
The prime matter which 1t Will
face will be the good roads question.
There have been so many propo-
sitions submitted in this regard that
it will take the combined wisdom of
the assembly to agree upon some
thing, but the prevailing opinion
seems to be that some start will be
made. The coordination of State
highway system with the county
units seems now to be the prevailing
idea. It is not probable that bill
carrying any great amount of money
at this time will be passed, but it is
highly likely that some coordinate
scheme will be adopted, and a
method provided for the use of the
large amount now expended, includ-
ing the, automobile license tax, for
the real improvement of the roads.
Taxation.
That taxes will be raised seems to
go without saying. The state has
grown, and it is going to take more
to carry on the sate's various de-
partments. Under a wise system of
taxation. however, this ought not to
require a heavier burden on the peo-
pie. As in any other business enter
prise, the increased revenues ought
to take care of the expenditures
and in any other business of the size
of the State of South Carolina there
ought to be net gain. In the state S
business however, this has not been
the rule. Every year for a number of
years past we have even been bor-
rowing in expectation of the col
lection of taxes, and thereby vast
ing thousands of dollars in interest.
All of this would be saved, with the
state on a cash basis, but no legisla-
ture has yet seen fit to do so. The
comptroller general has been point
ed out in this correspondence, is ur-
ging the legislature to pass inheri-
tance and income tax laws which
would relieve the property taxes.
The state has tried out the income
tax law, which was wise measure,
but which was not enforced, for the
reason that public sentiment was not
behind it. However, at this-time, IL
view of the wise provision Of the
federal government, sentiment will
probably be behind it. and such b

suffrage is not as strong in this state
as in a great many others but the
legislature may leave it to the people
in the election this fall. That would
probably be the wise course.
Constitutional Convention.
That the state needs new consti-
tuition, most of those who have come
in contact with the question, and a
great majority of all the lawyers will
agree. The present constitution was
adopted in 1895, and succeeded the
constitution of 1868, written under
Radical rule. The 1895 constitution
was written in the height of partisan
factional politics, and it needs
amendment in a great many particu-
lars. The late Mr.. Lesesne, a member
of the house from Clarendon, was a
strong advocate of a resolution pro-
viding for a constitutional conven-
ton, and had he lived, the matter
would probably have been more
speedily attended to before. Mr..
Lesesne died not so long ago, while
he was member of the house.
The Educational Program.
Enlargement of the educational
program-or, rather, the necessity
for such-will be a feature of the
session. Common school facilities
have got to be looked after, and,
particularly, some means have got
to be provided for the increasing of
the salaries of the common school
teachers, or we are not going to have
many efficient common schools. This
has come to be matter of such gen.
eral knowledge and complaint that
the legislature will no doubt take
good care of it. Nobody wants to do
anything to injure in one iota the in
stitutions of higher learning, but the
matter of retaining competent teach
ers in the common schools has be-
come serious, and has been called at
tention to several times lately by
the state superintendent of educa-
ton.

EXPERIMENTING RATS.

In exterminating rats either by poisoning or by trapping, it is inn portant to bear in mind that sue cess depends largely on the de- gree to which the removal of oth- CT foods make the poisoned bait o1 the bait in the traps attractive to the rat.
 A variety of poisons may be used, barium carbonate, phosphorus arsenic and others, but even with an efficient poison, failure often re- suits through lack of attention to details.
 How to Use Barium Carbonate.
 KIND OF BAIT.-Three or more kinds of bait should be used Eacl must be mixed separately with bar ium carbonate. One kind of bait from each of the following classes should be used.
 Meat or other animal substance; :; such as hamburg steak, sausage, can ned salmon, eggs or oysters.
 2-Fresh fruit or. vegetable food ; such as Cantaloupe, tomatoes, green corn baked sweet potatoes, bananas. etc.
 3-Miscellaneous foods, milk o1 cheese, peanut butter, bread, cake cereals (raw or cooked). HOW TO MIX-The barium car bonate must be thoroughly mixed with the bait, so that the rats can not eat the smallest portion of the bait without getting some of he bar ium carbonate. In the case of such substances as hamburg steak, cheese. etc, use one part of barium carbon ate to four parts of bait. Mix thor oughly with spoon.
 Substances which cannot be thor oughly mixed with barium carbonate as just described (for example, can taloupe, tomatoes, etc.) should be cut into small pieces and thoroughly covered with barium carbonate ant tben worked in with knife. HOW TO SET POISON.-The three kinds of bait, prepared as abov. should be divided into small DOT. tions, about teaspoonful each and | placed freely about premises, alter hating baits 1, 2, 3. It should be SC, at short intervals, not over 10 or 15 feet. DO NOT MIX THE DIFF FERENT KINDS OF BAIT WITH l EACH OTHER.
 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS The morning after batting, look for dead rats and remove them. Take up baits I Examine these so as to see which have attracted most rats. If any of bait has not been touched, use a different kind of bait instead of this Fresh bait should be used each night. HOWA OFTEN TO BAIT.-Bait ev- cry night, as long as rats continue to eat bait
 CAUTION.-Keep fowls, dogs, cats etc., away from bait.
 ANTIDOTE.-An emetic, followed by Rochelle or Epson salts.

P Steamers On Way To Hamburg
 In Single Week

Hamburg, Aug. 21.-In one day last week p steamers passed Cuxhaven on the way to Hamburg, or to enter the Kicl Canal. This was the larg- est number of ships to come into the Elbe in 24 hours since the early days of the war, and the event was hailed with intense satisfaction here as sign of better times. Five years ago it was a dull day when only a score of vessels arrived. The Ham burg American line alone usually had from 25 to 30 big ships in port and the harbor was so crowded with ship ping that the problem of docking of ten became acute.
 In those days few flags other than those of the German companies were seen in the harbor. Today Hamburg is literally under foreign colors. Shipping companies of all the prin- cIpal nations have set up offices here and the formerly powerful German lines, having lost their ships, are act ing now only as agents. American: British, Japanese, French, Italian Spanish, Dutch and Brazilian com panies display their advertisements in the shipping papers. Advertise ments of German concerns are so few that one must search for them
 There is some life again in the harbor but the ships are nearly all foreign. One passes long rows of splendidly equipped docks and ware houses, once a hive of industry but now empty and still. And in the ab- sence of the many ships that used to make Hamburg thriving commercial center, trade has died away and the great market places on the water front are practically deserted. Be- fore the war Hamburg had become one of Europe's chief coffee markets Now only few sacks of that staple find their way here.
 X While Hamburg was losing its glory as a port, death was taking a heavy toll of the so-called royal heads
 of the big German companies, includ- ing Albert Ballin, president of the Hamburg American line and the bro- thers Adolph and Edward Woermann
 who guided the affairs of the great ! Woermann Indian and African lines

Former Austrian Emperor Given

 On the Hateful November 2, 19le, the report says, the then Emperor ls- sued three conflicting orders within a few hours. The first was for the conclusion of an armistice. For ty minutes later this was revoked and 95 minutes afterwards 1t was ls- sued again. During this period, It was said, the Emperor consulted no one on the matter.
