Compulsory Education)
There was ? Spirited add interesting
d?b??te iii the House over Mr. Ker
shaw 's compulsory education bill re
quiring parents, or others having in
charge children between the ages of 7
and 14 years, to send them to school
for not iess than 100 days in a session,
the enforcement of the law being left
in the bauds of the school district'
trustees. After the house had heard
speeches for an hour and a half, a
vote was reached on the motion to
strike out the enacting words. ' Inter
est aud some surprise and excitement)
were elicited by the announcement
from the clerk that the dyes and nays
vote stood 54 to 55 in favor of the bill.
This was followed by more speech
making, when another eye and nay
vote was. taken ou the motion to in
definitely postpone, which resulted in
59 yeas aud 5G nays. Then the final
vote was taken on the motion to table
the motion to reconsider. This result
ed to 63 to 54 against the bill. The.
votes showed a growing sentiment in
the House in favor of compulsory edu
cation, over last session. The cotton
mill managements say they favor a
compulsory education bill, and say
that a compulsory education law 'will
assist them to see that the chid labor
law is more generally observed. The
Anderson delegation voted solidly
against the bill, but the delegations
from the Horse Creek valley mill sec
tions were divided, as were the Green
ville and Sp?rtanburg delegations..
Mr. Toole, of Aiken, who has been
struggling through several sessions to
get a ten-hour labor bill passed, favoiv
ed the Kershaw bill, while Mr. Cloy,
.of Aiken, tried to laugh it out into
the corridors.
Among the new house bills was one
from Mr. Watson, of Anderson, to
refer the question of license, dispen
sary or prohibition, to the August
primaries, the .succeeding Legislature
next Januaiy to enact into law for-a
period of five years the majority senti
ment so expressed, and one by.
Mr. Cothran, of Greenville, allowing
sheriffs of dry counties to appoint as
many special deputies as .necessary to.
enforce prohibition. Mr. Hutto liad a;
bill to repeal the anti-free pass -law.
and the Hampton delegation sent in a:
bill to provide for an investigation,
into, the financial affairs of Hampton.
In The Senate.
The only matter discussed in the'
Senate was a bill to. appoint a
commission to look into the adyis?r
bili ty of purchasing the old police bar. '
racks in Charleston with , a view .t
using the place to enlarge the^prma^
ttoryrfacuH^.^Hiert?rtn
was finally passed with only two votes,
against it.
The Reformatory.
The reformatory bill unexpectedly
made its appearance, Being called up
by Sneator Mauldiu. Senator C. L.
Blease moved to kill the bill.
In a speech after his motion to in
definitely postpone the bill Senator C.
L. Blease said he wrote the editor of
the Greenville Daily News, of The
Christian Appeal, one of the Spartan
burg papers, and Rev. W. P. Jacobs,
sending them the bill asking them
how they would vote on-it. He had
received answers from some-Senator
Blease said they had not the man
hood io retract their criticisms of Hie
senate and of him. Rev. W. P. Jacobs
of the Clinton Orphanage wrote a let
ter saying he did not "believe'' in
boys who were not criminals being
admitted. "Boys of good character
should not be elgible to the school,"
he wrote, in speaking of association
with criminals.
Senator Blease made his same
points as last year that the judges had
too much power under thc bill aud
that it would dump 5,000 children,
black'and white, on the State. He
did not Avant an orphan asylum sup
ported by taxation. He thought the
bill ment "the worst involuntary sla
very I ever heard of." The State of
South Caroliua was "going into the
nursery business."
lie would' advocate two reforma
tories for criminals, one for each of
the races. He was glad to see uegroes
eliminated from thc bill, as compared
with last year's bill.
Senator Blease was glad to vote for
a bill which applied alone to young
criminals and which did not allow the
circuit and probate judges to use their
discretion in putting boys in the re
formatory.
It was 10 o'clock when Senator
Blease ceased speaking and Senator
McLeod began argument for the bill.
One effective-point which the senator
from Lee made was the statement
made to the committee by Recorder
Stanly in regard to the need for a re
formatory as shown by his daily ex
perience. Thc Stale provided for'aud
protected its other children, even to
the deaf, dumb and blind. Then why
not care for the morally stunted
those most pitiful of unfortunates?
The pupils at Cedar Spring can sel
dom be cured, but the majority of the
boys at this reformatory might be
morally made well.
Senator McLeod could not believe
that criminality could be promoted by
tho reformatory; it would ucl thc
oilier way.
"All do not become criminals who
go'wrong, bul if less than a dozen can
bc saved to Soul Ii Carolina, .1*5,000
would bc a small sum to pay," he
said.
Humanity was the whole idea of the
reformatory, said Senator Mauldin,
Further on in his speech and speaking
of thc effects of cigarettes on the
youth of the laud, the senator from
Greenville got in a jab at the dispen
sary by saying flint thc cigarettes
were "no worse than the vile stuff
dished out by the Slate."
Senator Mauldin did not speak long,
and when he sat down, debate on the
measure was adjourned until Frida}'.
Morgan Bill Passed.
The house of representatives Fri
day by a decisive vote sustained the
Morgan bill. Tlie measure lias not
"y?t been adopted, but all elt'orts to
st?mped? those who roted tor it hav?
fail?d ?ild the. opposition seems de
moralized. On every vote the advo
cates' of tii? bill had a majority of
lp or more; and it is claimed that
the senate will give a.majority of six
to.tli? local option bili;
- >..The ' measure as it now stands is
Mx. Sanders' amendment to Mr. Mor
gan's bill. These amendments have
been- adopted, but the bill was so
much patched up that the clerks re
ported that it would be almost a phy
sical impossibility to have thc meas
ure printed and laid on the desks of
the members. Therefore, in order to
have a correct understanding of the
b^ll before it passed second reading,
if was decided to have it printed and
l?id ou the desks of the members
, and debate wa.5? adjourned until
Tuesday. Capt: J; W. Hamel took ?
straight vote on prohibition at night
and the proposition was defeated 77
to. 20.
. The local option bill as passed pro
vides for State prohibition. The
^tat? dispensary will be wiped out.
Then the counties may go to work and
vote in dispensaries if they choose to
dp'so; and Charleston wonjd have the
opportunity ' to vote on the question
of high license. The majority of the
Richland delegation being out of touch
.vi-ith the local optionisls, no provis
ion was made by which high license
?ah;be voted on in Columbia, although
Mr. McMa?tcr made an effort to get
stich ia concession, fl was understood
Thursday night that this was in the
bill. ,
fcTherc has been a great deal of talk
on;;fhis bill. The author of the origi
ital bill, Mr. Morgan, was permitted
t&make'the closing speech yesterday.
He was very ill, almost unable to
stand, and he was not able to attend
lite night session of the house, but
the fight had been won.
Senate.
\T:i the Senate Fridav but little was
accomplished. The day was occupied
ipi.purely routine business.

head and trunk frightfully cut and
mangled. Allen Cray, a colored train
man, met instant deal li in the South
ern Railway yards. Gray was engag
ed in coupling cars for the day switch
crew in the yard, and was#riding on
the rear gangplank of the tender of

SUSPICION OF DANGEROUS PLO?
At Pier in San Francisco^ Transport
Meade's Forward Hold Was Suf
focating Furnace for Three Hours
and Fir?men Worked in Danger of
Flames Reaching Tons of Ex
plosives.
San Francisco, Special.-Three men
were killed and 58 injured, mostly by
suffocation, ill a tire that damaged the
United States transport Meade $2,000
as she lay at the Folsom street pier
Thursday morning.
For three hours after midnight, the
forward hold of the big troop ship
was a suffocating furnace from which
firemen wer borne in an almost con
tinuous stream. Relays of men
promptly stepped forward to take
the places of those who were carried
out unconscious.
Tons of high explosive*? were loaded
in the after part of thc vessel and the
firemen worked with the possibility
ever oefore them that the flames
would reach this compartment.
Owing probably to the fact that an
infernal machine was found in the
bunkers of the transport Thomas on
her last voyage, the rumor was.cir
culated that a plot had been laid to
fire the Meade at sea, as she was to
have departed for Manila Friday.
Major C. A. Devol, chief of the trans
port service, is investigating this
theory with great care. He is having
the cargo taken from compartment
No. 2, where the fire started to ascer
tain thc real cause of the disaster.
The flames did not spread from com
partment No. 2. Dock Captain Dun
believes that some of the officers had
packed matches in their trunks and
that some of these were ignited in
loading.
A thousand pieces of baggage were
ruined. Trunks, boxes, ami barrels
were water-soaked or burned. -Wear
ing apparel and household furnishings
were ruined. One officer places the
damage to personal effects at $50,000.
The vessel is not seriously injured and
will he ready to sail for Manila on
Saturday.
For N. & W. Stock Fraud.
Knoxville, Tenn., Special.-C. S.
Northrop; accused'of using the UinV
ed States mails to defraud was bound

Omaha, Neb. He gave bond in the
sum of $2,000. - Northrop is charged
with having written letters while un
oer thc jurisdiction of the Omaha
court by means of which he disposed
cf worthless Norfolk & Western stock.
Northrop, it is charged, secured in
excess ol' $20,000 by Ins operations in
Knoxville and Jefferson City. Some
of thc land which he secured wi mon
ey raised on alleged worthless stock
was deeded back to parties involved,
but in spite of this, Northrop is said
to have gained several thousands.

fire upon Williams killing him instnat
ly. At a late hour Dr. Lindsey was
still at his office and no effort to ar

West Virginia Mine Disaster.
Roanoke, Special.-A report reach
ed here of the terrible explosion which
occurred about 5 o'clock Thursday

The victims are believed to numbei
many more.

Hopkinsville, Ky., Special.-At a
meeting of the stockholders of the
Cumberland Telegraph and Telephone
Company held here, which is legal
headquarters of thc company, au is
sue of $3,300,000 additional stock was
authorized. This makes the total cap
ital stock $17.000.000.
Directors of the company will meei

Uphold Law of the Revolver.
Moultrie, Ga., Special.-Thc ver
dict ol' thc coroner's jury was that
the killing of P. J. Williams by Dr.
R. C. Lindsey was justifiable homi
cide. Dr. Lindsey has not been ar
rested. He found Williams with
Mrs. Lindsey upon his return home
and immediately shot him, kill
ing him instantly.
J rsl because a man is all right to
