the only question would be to decide
u,bof iS hoc%

the only question would be to decide
what is best.
"Night work is the greatest curse
of our Southern industrial life.
There is not a single redeeming fea-
ture about night work except that it
brings a larger dividend to the stock
holder. But now since it has been
started it can't be stopped at once,
but it should be restricted. What
ever the decision of the number of
hours that day hands work, night
hands should work only 6 hours.
Children under Is years of age should
not be permitted to work at night.
Seats should be provided so that
operatives a sit down a few min
utes at a time whenever their work
will permit"
In concluding his article, MI. Bald
win makes a practical suggestion in
the following:
cit has been my pleasure to meet
and to correspond with quite a num-
Der who are also very much inter
ested. We need to do what we can,
each in his own way. And especially
do we need to get together and dis
cuss the question. 1 wish to second
the suggestion that some n has
made that such owners and opera
tives as desire such a law, and all
disinterested parties who are work
ing for it simply as philanthropists,
meet together in December or Janu-
airy in Charlotte, Greensboro OF
Raleigh and decide upon a bill to
present to the legislature. 1t would
probably be best to meet in Raleigh
in the early part of January. AS
stated above, l trust that a mill
owner will present a bill at that time
or before that will be acceptable.
Several have spoken approvingly of
such Il course. [ shall be glad if
others who like the idea will write
me, or better, write an article for
some paper, giving expression to
their views. This is a work not of
one man nor any set of men, but of
many men and women, scattered
here and there over the State. We
need to get together, for in unity
there is strength, and I suggest this
plan because l do not think Of u bet
ter one"

A MOTHERS PLEA.

A North Carolina lady, writing in
the Raleigh Christian Advocate,
says:
When my boy came home from
the State Fair I asked him if he
went to the theatrefor I had heard all
manner of comments concerning it,.
and he said yes" I looked my
disapproval, Iguess for he exclaimed,
why, mama, it wasn't half as bad
as the FART was actually ashamed
to walk about there with ladies !"And
as he sat by my side, telling me of
some of the disgraceful sights, I
looked at his fair brow and honest
eyes, and thought, "Oh, my son has
it come to this-that the children I
had taught to frown on vice, toshun
all evil influences, cannot go to the
State Fair, where all the best things
of the surrounding country are car
rled to show the progress of the
State, without coming in contact
with such illustrations of vice? God
pity our children and children's chill
dren if this dreadful condition Of
things keeps on !" Afew years ago
the Midway" at the Worlds Fair
was spoken of with bated breath it
was a foreign element, introduced
from the lowest depths Of French So
ciety-to show what progress means,
perhaps! But if we keep progress
ing, North Carolina will soon have,
a Midway" for the diversion of the
rising generation. What would our
noble fathers and refined mothers
think if they could draw aside the
veil Of eternity and witness the
effects of their precepts? No wOnder
the sons and daughters Of this fair
land go astray when vice is made SO
familiar to them they may blush, III
their innocence, at first, but soon get
owe that, and are ready to laugh at
the ''prudishness" of others. OF
what use to pass a law prohibiting
the circulation of obscene literature,
when the living pictures of Obscenity
are endorsed and upheld in the most
public place of our good Old North
State-the State Fair? l have
brooded over this for several days,
and when the Advocate came, I saw
a few lines, written by you, which
showed your disapproval. Dear DR..
Ivey, l am not a writer, and can't
express my thoughts clearly, and
only wish l could tell all the sorrow
and Indignation that is burning in
my heart today but you can write,
and the few lines [ saw are not
enough. l believe you have the
moral courage to champion
cause and [ voice the sentiments of
all true mothers when I beg the
Methodist Church to fight this evil
to its destruction. Christian men
and women of every denomination, I
beseech you to awake to a sense of
danger for your children before it is
too late! Send petition after petit
ton to the legislature until they
pass a law furnishing all the would
be slayers Of the virtue and morality
of our dear boys and girls.

NOVEMBER IN HISTORY.

November q, 1888; North Caro-
lima admitted into the Union. North
Carolina was the twelfth State in
numerical order. Though next to
the last of the thirteen original
States to accept the Constitution,
she was the first to sanction indie
pendence officially.
November 30, 1911: Wendell Phil
lips born. Wendell Phillips gradu-
ated at Harvard in 1881, and from
the Cambridge Law School in 1888.
He joined the abolitionists in 1886.
He left the profession of the law be-
cause he could not take the attor-
ney's oath to a Constitution that
sanctioned human bondage. During
his whole life he did not cease to lift
up his voice against slavery. He
was an eloquent and effective
speaker, refused to vote under the
Constitution, and was an advocate OF
temperance and labor reforms.-The
American Boy.

LOSS.
Tuesdays Hail Storm Wrought Sad
Havoc With Crops.
THOUSANDS OF ACRES.

Farmers of Loan and Harvey Townships
Have at Least $4,000 Bushels of Their
Best Grain Destroyed in Less Than Half
an Hour-The Townships of Hope and
Mt. Carmel Also Suffer, Though Not to
so Great an Extent.
The townships of Harvey and Loan,
composing one of the finest wheat pro-
ducing sections in this county, was visit
ed by hail about five o'clock Tuesday
afternoon resulting in the destruction of
several thousand acres of the best crops
that have ripened in Cavalier county this
year. Among those who suffered loss
are many who were in the path of the
hail storm of a year ago, which in such
cases increases the loss sustained very
materially. Harvest had barely COM
menced and most of those struck by the
hail were at the time the storm broke in
the field with their binders just starting
in on the harvest. The approach of the
storm was not made known as is general
ly the case by excessive heat or close.

ward along the Little Pembina it turned
to hail with the result that those it it's
immediate path suffer total loss, the
destruction lessening in extent toward
the outer edge. Perhaps the heaviest
loser, by the storm is Robt. Murie, the
the entire crop on his four quarter Sec
tions being destroyed, leaving him with
out feed for his stock or seed for the next
years crop. Last year Mr.. Murie was
strnck by hail and land that he plowed
under at that time promised this year a
yield of about thirty bushels per acre.
What he had cut when the hail came
was mere trihe. Few if any of these
whose crops were struck by the hail had
any insurance, as the lack of rain fall
during the summer had so lessened the
prospect of crop that it had not been
deemed necessary. A partial list of

JOINT CONVENTION.
Independents and Democrats Will Join in
Naming County Ticket

A meeting of the county central COM
mittees of the Independents and dem
ocrats held in this city Saturday after
noon decided to issue call for a joint
convention of the two parties for the
naming of county ticket, the date fixed
on being Wednesday, September 10Th.
The solidifying of the forces of the two
parties promises to place in nomination
full ticket of winners and will do away
with complications as to position on the
ballot, such as have arised in past cam
palgns The action in the matter taken
at Saturdays meeting OF the committees
was unanimous in the fullest sense of the
term. The meeting was presided over
by Robert Fleming of Dresden and the
duties of secretary filed by H. D. ALERT.
Both parties were we'll represented, many
of the old time leaders being included in
the number. With the plans already
formed the campaign starts off briskly
with the other fellows very much in the
rear.

BAD INSANITY CASE.
A Sad Case From Wang Sent to James,
town Insane Asylum Yesterday

Mrs. Knutson was brought to the
city from her home in the Wang settle
ment Tuesday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff McDougall for examination by
the county board OF tinsarity examiners.
Her condition when brought to town
Tuesday was such as to require constant
vigilance on the part of Deputy Nc
Dougall and her son, being at times
quite violent and attempting to escape
from their care. Mrs. Knutson is a
woman of about fifty years of age and
since the death of her husband has been
living with her sons. 1t is only few
days since she first showed signs Of
being bereft of her reason. Her condi-
tion however is such that beyond doubt
she will for some time to come remain
an inmate of the state asylum at James
town, where she was taken yesterday by
Sheriff Robertson.

A LARGE INCREASE.
Cavalier County Has School Population
This Year of Nearly Four Thousand.

The school census returns for Cavalier
county are all in, the exact fcotings for
all the districts in the county having
been completed only within the past
week and Supt. Fox is now able to give
out the figures as they appear in his
office. The total number of those en-
titled to the privileges of public educa-
tion is 1888, consisting of 2054 boys and
1888 girls, At the last census the total
school population was 1892, which gives an
increase of 595. Supt. Fox has IL more
districts to look after now than he had at
the time the last census was taken, there
being 81 districts instead of 90. The
new field opened is entirely in the south
and southwestern parts of the county.
Langdon itself has nearly one-tenth of
the entire school population of the
whole county, the number as shown in
the returns of the enumerator being 1856,
against 304 year ago. This year the
census was taken between June 1st and
Goth under the new law. which has
changed the time from December to
June. Whatever advantage is gained
by the change is something that those
most interested have failed to discover

A BINDER INVENTION.
Experimental Trial Made Here This Week
by Inventor Appleby.

ny AuV0AtoA 1apPACUy.
j. F. Appleby, the inventor and maker
of the Appleby harvester, which has of
more recent years been known as the
Minneapolis harvester, has been in the
city during the greater part of the past
week and in company with other machine
men from the east has been making
trials with newly improved binder,
which if found satisfactory will be placed
on the market next season. The test
given the new binder, which was shipped
from Minneapolis specially for the pur-
pose, has been conducted on the farm of
D. H. Mcmillan, south of town, and al
though those interested have been
keeping the matter as much as pos =ible
to themselves it is learned that the re-
suits have been highly satisfactory and
the binder of the 1901 pattern will out
rank its predecessors in many ways. Mr..
Applsby was among the first to take up
the construction of binding and harvest
ing machinery and there is hardly bin
der of any make on the market today bnt

Hon. Jno. Burke, an able lawyer at
Rolla and known in political circles as
the Abe Lincoln of North Dakota, is the
choice of Independents and democrats as
the opponent of Attorney Cowan for the

The nine newly organized townships
in the southwestern corner of Cavalier
county will be heard from at the polls in
November. There are hundreds of new
settlers out that way who will cast their
first vote in North Dakota this fall.
Republicans of Walsh and their party
organs are suffering from bad attack of
sore head. The Driscoll episode and then
the collapse of Judge Sauter's candidacy
has left the party a torn remnant of fore
lorn hope. Neither the state or judicial
ticket can look for anything near
normal vote in Walsh county.
Devine, who by the way won't have
any votes to spare, is likely to lose what
he has by promising Halland, of wood

IL. j. Golf who for years past has look
ed after the interest of the eastern portion
OF the county on the board OF commls-
sloners has retired from the firm OF Cuffe

circle making an active canvass for the
county treasurership in the campaign of
this fall Whether his opposition will come
from the present incumbent or not he
will make strong candidate and
certainly would fill the position excel
lently if elected.
Another instance of the bold daring of
the republicans this year is presented
in the appointing as their campaign
manager in this state Post master Bulge,
OF Grand Forks, it being in direct viola
tion of law for a federal official to mix up
in politics while holding government
job. He is supposed to be public
servant and serve all parties. Instead of
directing the running of a republican
campaign he should be distributing mail.
The mistake, if SO it be,i a serious one
and the republicans will hear of if at the
polls.

this fall. Two years ago there were
twenty-three precincts-the south end of
the county had just begun to settle up

corner isan unknown quantity. The
independents and democrats see the
expediency of thorough campaign
through that section and accordingly
have called their JOINT county convention
for Sept. 19th-nearly two weeks earlier
than the campaign of '9S was started.
