NEW ERA OF

We make no apology for devotlng so
much of our space to the reports OF
the Baptist State convention. Its
work is the chief event Of the past
week in the capital and its delibera-
tons have a deep interest not only
for the 10000 Baptists in the State,
but as well for the people OF all
churches. The session in Raleigh,
which virtually closed last night has
been full of interest and profit, and
marks a new era of progress IN the
work of that aggressive denomination.
The convention was marked by Il
liberal spirit toward the institutions
of the church. Over two thousand
dollars was raised for the ThomasVllie
O]rphanage last night and over fifteen
thousand dollars for the Baptist
Female University on the previous
night 1t was resolved to raise $780,
600 for Education as d Twentieth
Century Fund, and the spirit manifest
ed in the convention leaves no doubt
that it will be done.

CHILDREN IN THE FACTORY.

In the Baptist State convention yes
the leading men Of the denomination,
made the statement that 1.-The over
work of the people in the cotton fac
tories was cripplin@ and thwarting
the mission work OF the convention"
Speaking of the work Of children in
the mills lie said:
these people must be protected.
and these infants must be saved
from such wreckinG and the bodies
and souls OF these over-WOrked IN
and men saved by Christian fort"
IN connection with the declarations.
which met with apparent universal
approval. we desire to call attention
to the fact sent out by the Assoclat-
ed Press yesterday that the mill
owners Of Georgia have formed an as
sociation ito stop the practice of
working children under ten wears in
the cotton mills of the State"
1t is gratifying 10 see that mill own
ers, church leaders, educators and the
press are agreed that child labor shall
end in the factories. There may be
here and there disagreement as to the
manner Of putting a stop to it, but
an effective method will he found to
do it. The demand OF lazy fathers,
who put their babies in the mills to
support them in idleness, in favor of
employing young children in the mills,
will not be needed. The children must
be saved from the Gwarfing process OF
early confinement in the factories! IT
will not do to wait another year for
this reform hat is demanded in the
name Of humanity.

TO TAXES.

The State Treasurer will recommend
to the General Assembly the creation
Of q Board of Tax Commissioners
'swhose duty it shall be to get up q
revenue and machinery act. Inc
Treasurer says hat much property IN
he State is not given in at its true
valuation and there should be a re-
formation.' He is right about this. but
the remedy can be applied by the Leg
islature itself without any outside
Commission.
The trouble is that within the past
zen years there has been a radical
change in North Carolina. Much OF
The large capital heretofore invested
IN farming and in merchandise is IL
vested in corporations. With few eX-
c~eptions, corporations do not pay tax
on as fair a valuation as individuals.
This is particularly rue of those cor
porations that have very large capital,
and is true chiefly of the q~uasi-pubhc
corporations.
One of the most important duties
that Will deyOlve upon the Leglsla-
ture will be to devise a method Tor
equalizing taxation. To leave it to a
Tax Commission will be a waste of
time and money. During the admins
tratiOn of Governor Scales, a Tax Com
mission of able men was appointed
and it presented a very elaborate re-
port, full of wise suggestions. The
report was printed but none OF its
recommendations We're acted upon. II
anybody wants the report OF a lax
Commission, he will find that report
as valuable as any that could be pre-
pared today.
All property should be fairly as
sessed and there should be no discrim-
nation as between farm property and
railroad property. After a proper as
sessment is made for taxation, then
all qu%asi-public corporations, such as
express companies, telegraph com
panies, telephone companies. rail
roads. public ferries and the like
should pay a special privilege or fran
chise tax. to be levied on the gross in
come or in some other equitable man
ner. Those who favor the gross in
come tax are earnest advocates of
fair assessments on property. The
one is q tax that is imposed upon
property; the other is a privilege or
franchise tax. The first must be upon
an assessment that bears equally upon
a farm and upon a railroad; the sec
ond is upon quasi-public corporations
alone.

GOING OUT OF THE STATE,

The Salisbury Truth-Indcx notes
that a carload OF factory employees
passed through tina town going to
Georgia and Alabama to work in the
cotton factories of those States.
Another paper says that several hun
dred rave gone. They were employees
who worked in mills in Alamance
county until the trouble of a few
months ago. After a strike precipitat-
ell by members of the Textile Union,
the owners of the mills announced
i hat hereafter 10 person could work
in their mills who belonged to the
union. As a great result some mem
DerS of the union quit that labor or
ganizatiOn and retained their position
in the cotton mills. Others refused to
withdraw from the union. and now
have gone into other States. Their
departure is to be regretted. They are
North Carolinians by birth. They love
their State and the State needed
them. They have gone because they
preferred respectfully to gs into anOth-
er State than to surrender their right
to Join any organization they desired
to join.
We had hoped that North Carolina
would escape the labor troubles that
have been witnessed in other manufac-
turing sections. The departure Of q
large number OF mill operatives from,
the State is a criou matter. Can we
afford TO nave them leave Us and 90
to Alabama and Georgian This is 4
question that primarily appeals to the
mill owners. but it has a deep interest
also for the whole State. If we lost
our labor, or any considerable portion
IF it, we shall ultimately lose mucl
that we have gained in manufactures
