Colored children in North Carolina
factories are, it, is reported, whipped
for violations of the mill regulations,
much as children were whipped in
school in other days for mlsdemeanors.
The fact arouses no sentiment in the
South, whatever may be thought of 1t
in the North. Girls and boys alike are
whipped, and the lash Is laid on Sc
verely, according to the statement Of
the man, himself a negro, who does
the whipping In one of the mills. To
discharge the children, he explains,
would avail little, as the vacated places
would have to be filled with children
equally refractory or mischievous
Parents or guardians, it Is stated, put
their working children absolutely under
the control of the mill superintendent
and he uses the authority thus con-
ferred upon him to administer corporal
punishment.

An interesting chapter in the report
Sof Surgeon General Sternberg Is that
which is devoted to the effect of gun
shot wounds. Owing to the methods Of
protecting the wounded from blood poi
soning, erysipelas and other consa-
quences of injuries the mortality from
wounds in recent wars has been much
less than 1T was during our civil war.
1t has been found, too, that the smaller
bullets are far less effective than We're
those used in the old Springfield mus
ket. Rapid healing follows wounds
wounds made by the Mauser bullet, and
infection is seldom noted. In a list of
fourteen hundred wounded there was no
death from external hemorrhage, and it
was not necessary to tie up blood YES

from residents of Savannah together
with his own observations. He said
that for the work presumed to have
been accomplished less than four mill
non dollars was reasonable amount
of expenditure. on cross-eXamnation.
witness said that on account of the
work being under water largely it was
impossible for him to determine how
much work had been done without n
geological survey, which he did not
make ana consequently had to accept
captain Carriers word in the matter
lie said he never made any inspection
OF The mattresses. He said that this
was not his business but that of an
assistant engineer
After recess Attorney General Erwin
cndcaVored to learn from witness after
showing him Illustrations of number
or mattresses his (witnesS) idea of the
cost of the same. The witness persist
entity refused to state on the ground
that ne was not posted on such mat
tcrs and would not answer off hand. :"
Mr.. Erwin called witnesses atten-
ton to the fact that he had said
that less than 100000 was not an
oVercharSe for the work done in Cum
berland Sound by Captain Carter. and
that he should be qualified TO tell the
cost OF certain material in-cnp fn,pait
with the specification. The witness
avoided the question by saying that
conditions altered prices and he could
not answer the question
Counsel brought out that the specifi-
cations were so vague that contractors
were not in a position to make an esti-
mate. and witness admitted that under
the specified condition he would not
know how to bid on certain clauses of
the specification in point.
Major G. Med. Townsend. OF the Uni
ted States Corps of Engineers stationed
at Rock Island. H.. the next witness.
was questioned upon the Internal con-
struction of Fascine mattresses. On
cross examination he said he placed in
his specification that mattress brush
should be well trimmed" or with
brush" but it was specified which was
to be used. so that contractors would
know which of the two kinds to make.
This was so vague in the specifications
formulated by Captain Carter that con
tractors did not know which of the two
to make.
The witness said he testified in behalf
of Captain Carter at his courtmar
tial.
After this testimony an adjournment
was taken until tomorrow.
