Montgoniery County Boy Killed.
According to an Aiken, S. C, special
to The Columbia State, a white youth,
aged 19 years, Bud Madison McLoud,
son of Calvin McLoud, of Star, Mont
gomery county, was shot nearEureaka
Station, Aiken county, last Saturday
afternoon being taken to Aiken. He
seems to have been something of
tramp and, somewhat weak-minded,
His ante-mortem statement was to the
effect that he went to a country
house and asked for something to eat.
The woman of the house told him she
had nothing and he asked her if she
could not cook something for him
She said yes, and he went around the
house and sat down on the doorstep
while she bustled about the kitchen,
Hudgeni came up from the orchard
and as soon as he saw McLoud com
menced firing on him. One shot took
effect and McLoud ran through the
house. Hudgens pursued and shot him
second time. Hudgens then drag
ged him out of the house, sent for s
buggy, sent him to the station
and had him shipped to Aiken
McLoud said that he had said
nothing to Mrs. Hudgens to alarm her.
Another story is that she was frightened
by his rough appearance and rough
address and that she had escaped from
the house to that of a neighbor and
had sent from there for her husband,
whom she told of her fright. The cor-
fbner's inquest had not been completed
Tuesday, the appearance of Hudgens to
give testimony being awaited.
CHILD LA HOIS AT PALI. BIVER
Baltimore Sun.
A loud cry has for several years been
going up from Fall River and other
New Englaajj cotton manufacturing
centers against "Cald labor in the
South," with the object of inciting
philanthropists of that section to in'
augurate radically restrictive legislation
that would hobble the Southern cotton
manufacturing industry. New Eng
land cannot compete with the South in
the production of certain classes of
goods a fact of which the present
strike of 30,000 Fall River operatives
is the result but it was felt that if the
labor conditions that exist in New Eng
land were transferred to tha South the
expense of manufacturing in the latter
section might be considerably in
creased. Hence a great outcry of self
righteous denunciation of imaginary
mistreatment of children and call for
drastic laws. Investigation has shown
that "child labor" in an objectionable
form does not exist to an appreciable
extent in the Southern mills, but that,
in fact, the young people employed in
the mills are looked after and in many
cases educated at the expense of the
owners, so that their condition com
pares very favorably with that of youths
employed in Fall River milsl. An "ex
iled Virginian," residing in MassachU'
setts, has noted the oontrast there be
tween preaching and practice and sends
The Sun an illustrated Boston paper
which describes ths actual situation at
Fall River. Pictures are given of three
children age ranging from? to 12 go
ing to work, Two of the three are girls
who "toil in a spool room of one of
Fall River's biggest mills for f 1,97 a
week," and it is added that "they are
two of many thousands." They work
from 6:30 in the morning until 6 at
night, with an hour off at noon. Their
labor is constant and hard. Previous
to the cut-down of last November their
pay was 112 ou a week, lhe 1U per
cent, cut at that time left it $2 25. If
they remain at work they will receive
$1.97 a week. They do not have this
rage for spending money. It goes to
help support the family."

Because of a lack of farm hands the
farmers around Whippany, Afton, and
Hanover, N. J., have had to call on
their daughters to assist in the harvest,
In the ordinary course of things this
would be nothing strange. But for the
farmers in that section of the country
it is unusual; for they are a well-to-do
lot and most of the girls are aollege
bred. But oollege bred or otherwise,
it makes no difference t6 the farmer
who has to get in the hay. This is the
haying season and it is the finest kind
of haying weather.
The farmers offered high wages for
male help, but it was not forthcoming
Just when it looked as if the hay crop
would be a failure on account of a lack
of harvesters, Miss Mabel Mowder, who
finished at Vassar two years ago came
to her father's assistance and said that
she wonld take the place of a man for
$2 a day, the price he had offered.
He scoffed at the idea at first, but
this young woman soon showed that
she was as good as her word by mount
ing a mowing machine and driving
into the field, where she cut the grass
like a veteran. Other girls in the vici
nity saw their leader at work, and it
became the fashion at once, so that two
days later more than a dozen women
could be counted within half as many
miles, and all of them were riding on
mowingmacbines, reapers, or gang
rakes, handling a pair of borses and a
big machine as if they were used to it.

Indlaua Republican Candidate
Heavily Aaeeaned.
Indianapolis, Ind., July 29. Fail
ure on part or manufacturers ana
others employers of laborin the Repub
lican party to subscribe liberally to the
campaign fund and the believe of the
party managers that Indiana is a doubt
ful State when the Democratic party is
united, have caused unprecedented
assessments to be placed upon the
candidates on the State ticket. As
rule the assessments are lower in
national campaign year than in an off
year,but when the candidates sought an
explanation for the 50 per cent, in
crease the other day they were in
formed that few contributions to the
fund bad ben made, and these were
smaller than had been received from
the same contributors for years, while
many had refused to give anything at
all.
According to a State officer, an assess
ment ef $4,000 was placed on the Attor
ney-General, $2,500 each on the Audi
tor and Secretary of State and corres
ponding assessments on all the men on
the ticket. After the assessments were
filed the nominees were told that Senator
Fairbanks was the expect to take care
of Indiana and the inceased assessment
were made to help hin out.
Flret English Letter
The oldest letter written in English

dated Mcrch 22, 1339, and was sent to
London by messenger.
Up to the commencement of the
reign of Edward I, all letters even of
the most private nature were written
in latin. About the time of Edward's
accession, French which had been the

the time of the conquest, began to be
used ' in written correspondence. In
the reign of Edward III the English
language, in pursuance of an act of
parliament, was made the language of

FOB SOCIAL EQUALITY
Collecting; Troublesome Bu.in
Charlotte Chronicle,
Perhaps one of the most trouble
some features of a modern commercial
business is the collection of accounts,
Many people are wholly inconsiderate
of the collector and of the man or firm
who has given the accommodation
the way of credit. "Come again," or,
"I'll see aObut it," or some petty ob
jection to the form of the account
too often all that the collector can get,
Sometimes a man may not be prepared
to pay may not have the money. But
if those who could just as. well pay as
not would volunteer their payment, or
even facilitate the collector's work, it
would help those whose business often
needs the money due.

A colored correspondent of the
Washington Post predicts that the
Republican ticket in 1908 will be
Theodore Roosevelt and Booker Wash
ington. The campaign emblem will
be the negro boy and white girl, stand
ing hand in, band who enthused the
convention that nominated Roosevelt,
The writer is Henry 8. Baker and his
ramarkable communication is as fol
lows:
"As colored man, I wish to call at
tention to the difference between the
Republican and the Democratic Na
tional conventions. -t the Republican
convention the colored man was treated
as a companion, friend, and brother.
There he was made to feel as if he were
not only a political, but a social equal.
The delegates followed the advice and
example of our beloved President
Theodore Roosevelt, who teaches that
the colored man deserve to be treated
as a social equal. To emphasize this
fact, he had the courage to have at his
table Prof. Booker T. Washington. If
Roosevelt is elected it will soon en
courage she colored men that we will
demand that Prof. Booker Washington
shall be the Republican candidate for
vice-president in 1908.
Let not my colored brethren forget
that scene in the Republican conven
tion when a beautiful white girl was
placed upon the stage, and by her side
a negro boy. They then placed Hags
in their hands and allowed them to
lead the cheering, thus making the
first and grandest example of the
'equality of the races that history re
cords."

F. Hammond, one of the bandits who

Raleigh, July 30. Rev. Dr. T. N.
Ivey, editor of The Methodist Chris
tian Advocate, has returned from a visit
to the hail-smitten district in Scotland
county, where 100 farms were swept.
He says the hail made dents in the
houses, actually tore the bark from red
oak trees and swept away scores of
farms, while in other cases the dead
stalks of ruined crops alone remain.
He says the hail would have evidently
