PUBDIC, BUILDING FOR ABBEVILLE.
If Senator (lary will keep up the
pace thai lie lias set as a worker in
the senate, ami 11 is term is Ionic
enough we expect to see the capitol
moved to Abbeville. In two weeks
of service he has had Abbeville inserted
in the Public Building Bill,
with an appropriation of .t7.>,U00,
favorably reported on.
Congressman Aiken already has a
bill before the house asking for this
atmounl for Abbeville, and with a
little cooperation between them il
looks almost like a sure tliingr, No
belter team can be found anywhere.
Members of con.iirees may be divided
into three class,-s. viz: men who
think (himrs. men who say things and
men who do thi 11 vs. Our representatives

NOT A CANDIDATE. '
The editor ?>|' this paper wishes it .
to It,- distinctly underst I. hiht for \
all. that lie is not a candidate for the |
I'nited State S.-nate. While it is |
true thai we have been importuned by ,
'every man, woman and child of he- ,
niocralic alliliation to enrer the race. |
yet, in view of the fact that I lie posiIion
otters merely a pittance of seven ,
thousand live hundred, with extras, ,
against the princely income of our ,
present position as chief editor of the ,
Chronicle, we must decline. To be ,
perfectly candid, we think il would be j
against our interest, and against the v
interest of the State, for us to accept
the position. This decision is final.?
'Clifton Chronicle.
11 is very ureal ly to be regretted
thai Kdile.r S. T. lieid, of the Clifton
Chronicle, positively revises me
port unit ies of his friends to become
n candidate for the Cnited States |
senate.
This makes the fourth declination
recentl\ to cuter the race for this i
hi _?h and responsible position. We
trust that the y.real mortality durini;
the past year in the Cnited Slates
senate has not had any influence upon
these South Carolina statesmen.

APPRENTICE QUESTION.
Apache or Useful Citizen is the Ques- j
tion in Paris.
Call Mall (ia/elle.
A1 the bottom of the Apache ques-{
ton is the apprenticeship question.'
The one is dependent upon the other. |
In a new "revue" at the Bonffes Ca-|
. . , ? 1 *
risiens is the Injure of a Cans rullian 1
with a crown upon his head and a I
purple mantel upon hi- shoulders, lie
is Kin.1 Apache. The royal consort. |
a lady of the familiar type, comes to
him and -ays thai a foreign ofliccr
wauls to .-ee him. There is straightwav
introduced t ? him a policeman,
who is questioned as to his occupation
and starts in life much as if he
were an inhabitant of Mars suddenly
come to this earth. No one has ever
seen his like before. The audience
lauehs at the exaggerated irony and
facetious witticisms of the authors;
but in reality il is a matter that has
lon<_; passed the laughing stage. And
behind this figure of King Apache,
(enthroned in Paris, is a Iriste regiment
of workless apprentices. Tlio
Apache is the apprentice thai is not
apprenticed. Instead of entering; lb.3
workshop, where he may learn a useful
trade, he goes upon the street
where he becomes an adept in robber}
%
:in?l midnight attacks.
During tin* past f ew tnonths an ex
t raonlinary agitation lias boon car
riotl -on in the commercial and indus
trial world to establish Hie old system
ol' apprenticeship, now almost
dead. The papers have boon full ol
suggestions oL' people who as economists
or as employers of labor, havt
an interest in the solution of the
question. There are no more apprentices.
Why? Some people pretend
that it is because the parents, nowadays,
wish their children to earu money
immediately, and are no longei
willing to support them whilst they
learn the practical 'essentials of a
trade; hence they encourage them to
take places as messenger boys or to
shift for themselves without inquiring
whether they are receiving any
useful training for the future. But
this is only a partial reason for "la
crise de I 'apprentissage.'' The answer
is given, today, by the authoritive
pen of M. Jules Mel i ire, senator
for the Vosges and a former prim-a
minister. Neither the avarice of parents
nor the unwillingness of youth
In ciilcr the workshops and factories
is the real cause of the crisis. I hat
resides in the fact that (lie workshops
ch?si> their doors to the wouldbe
apprentice. This state ol things
has prevailed since a certain famous
law itassed on March 30, 1000,
The law is paved with good intentions,
like the road to the nether regions;
those intentions are equally
ineffective. It is. unfortunately, the
custom in France to vote social and
oilier legislation without adequate
inquiry. No export evidence is taken;
hence, there are perpetual difficulties
n the proper execution of the laws.
Defects, hitherto unsuspected, aro discovered
in practice. It has been so
villi the Sunday rest act. which has
.iveil rise to immense agitation and
n Hid I'd damage on a variety of incresls.

Tin' law ol March 110. 1000, declar.,1
thai in factories which employed
ivomen and children the work should
ml be prolonged beyond ten hours a
lav. The principle of the act was adnirahle;
to prevent women and young
icrsons from overtaxing their
strength and injuring their health by
i too long sojourn in the tins'-laden
ilinosphere of the factories. But, unfortunately,
il has had a mo>t evil effect.
As the normal wo.king hours
in France are 1- and not ".(). the masters
have abolished tin apprentice,
so as to be free to employ their
hands to I he limit of the customary
working day.
A most important (reputation <">1
employers of labor in the principal
trades of Paris have waited upon "M.
