DuRHAM'S PRIVACY IN MANUFACTURING.

The building of the new four hundred
thousand dollar cotton factory in Dur
ham by the progressive capitalists Of
Durham is an event of much import
ance. 1t is to be built in the town
proper, taking the place of a disreputa-
BILE portion of the town, and on both ac-
counts the people of Durham will re-
joice.
The time was when Durham was
known as ''the Bull Town." as 1.-THE
tobacco metropolis as ''the home of the
weed" 1t is still the chief metropolis
for the manufacture of smoking tobacco
and cigarettes but instead of tobacco
being the only, it is one of other flourish
ing industries and enterprises which
make Durham city dependent upon no
one industry or trade, but resting firmly
upon the manufacture of all the staples
that make North Carolina great.
IL Durham increases its spindles in the
next ten years as it has in the past ten
the time is not far distant when Durham
will be the first city in the State in
the manufacture of cotton as well as of
tobacco.

THE NEWS OBSERVER WEDNESDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER
TWO NOTABLE REFORMS.

The working time at the East Dur-
ham cotton mills has been shortened
forty minutes day. The new arrange
ment went into effect today. On and
after this date no children under twelve
years of age will be permitted to work
in these mills. These reforms were
brought about by Mr.. w. A. Erwin
who, short time ago was placed in
such position that he could practically
manage these mills as well as the Erwin
mills in West Durham.-Durham Letter
in Tuesdays News and Observer
With the growth of the cotton mill in
dustry, the owners and operatives in the
mills will naturally look to see such sys-
TENS put in operation as will best CON
duce to the interests of employer and
employee. AS long as most of the cotton
mills were on the streams, where the
power was not adequate the full twelve
months, the question of hours was not
so material, for there was a shutting
down for low water now and then which
gave ample time for rest. Now that the
mills run the year round with steam
power, the strain of long hours tells
upon the operatives, particularly upon
the young. There has been a tendency
for several years toward a reduction of
the number of hours. A reduction of 40
minutes in a working day at one time
means great deal for those employed,
will add to their efficiency, strength and
health.
The employment of children under
twelve years old in the mill has always
been subject of much anxiety to pa
rents and mill owners. In some in
stances parents have made it condi-
ton of accepting employment for them
selves that their children should be
given work, and sometimes against their
desires mill owners have taken children
into the factories who were too young
to be thus confined. Reforms must move
slowly. The elimination of all children
under twelve is reform that ought to
be adopted in all cotton mills and the
reduction of the time ought to be Sc
cured in such way as would be just
alike to employer and employe North
Carolina has never had any legislation,
regulating the ages when children shall
be admitted or the hours of work, and
if the owners and operatives regulate
these matters in a satisfactory manner
there will not be need to enact legisa
ton of that character.

FIRST TASTE OF MlLlTARISM.

When a country enters upon career
of conquest, it must take all the evils
which militarisin involves. There is a
provision of military rules prohibiting \
private soldier from addressing any
communication TO the commandments
chief without first securing permission
to do so from an intermediate officer.
An Ohio private, who didn't know any
thing about that regulation, wrote to
General Otis requesting an opportunity
to stand an examination for promotion.
He was arrested, thrown into Jail, tried,
convicted, dishonorably discharged and
imprisoned for one year. He managed
to smuggle letter through to his father
giving these facts, and Governor Bush
nell asks the President to modify the
sentence
This is one of the first tastes of milf

ors, are up in arms against a system
that lives by such methods?
