To the Editor:7In your account of
the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce last night your reporter makes
me say, in effect, while discussing the
question of telephone and telegraph
poles and wires in our streets, that
the matter should be looked at from
the standpoint of public interest
without regard to private interests.
Your reporter misunderstood me. /
have always been strong advocate
of upbuilding and protecting vested
rights. and believe that no private
property should be taken for public
use without due compensation. | was
urging the necessity for sooner or
later taking such action as would re-
move the large number of poles from
our streets. but expressly stated that
such action could be accomplished by
negotiation rather than by drastic
municipal action. | further stated
that the property rights of the com
panies should be respected. those
owned by non-residents as well as
those owned by our own citizens.
Please make the correction and, and
oblige,

Bricks Without Straw. "

To the Editor: Am glad to see that
you have taken up the cause of the poor
cotton mill operatives. class of people
overworked and undergrad and / have
been surprised that some papers have not
come to their rescue. 1t is a crying
shame to the South that we use the
argument of cheap labor to induce Yankee
capital to invest with us. Cheap labor is
a curse to any people and the idea Of
working these poor women and childen IL
to IA hours per day for the pittance they
get is curse worse than negro slavery
ever was. l see some one has bill for
the Legislature to make IL hours per day
the law-10 hours is long enough and it
proposes to exclude children under 10
years of age. The New York law excludes
children under II years. Think of it,
capital paying % per cent. to 80 per cent
and working widows and children II to
II hours per day at almost starvation
wages. If this is not blood money, what
is it? We hear a great cry about cigar
cites and tobacco. but it is not half as
bad as this outrage on our noble pure
working women of the South. ! wonder
that the Church of God has not taken up
this fight. Many of these women and
children belong 10 the same churches
that their employer does.
| hear the preachers say they are hard
to reach. No wonder. This labor oppres-
sion is simply hellish.

The Appointment of DR.. Yates.

The Durham Methodists are very
much dissatisfied at the appointment
of Rev. DIR. r. A. Yates as assistant
pastor of Main Street church. Dur
ham. The appointment carries with
it no salary and there is nothing to do.
DR., Yates is one of the oldest, best
and brainiest members of the confer
ence. And the Durham Herald says
the action of the conference in taking
him off as presiding elder of the Dur
ham district and assigned as assist
ant pastor of Main Street church the
cause of no little talk, especially
among the Methodists of Durham.
The, Herald adds:
''Why this was done will probably
never be known. but many believe
that it was done by the bishop to re-
buke him for introducing the resolu-
lions endorsing DR.. Kilgo and Messrs.
Duke and Odell, which were adopted
by the conference"
