Charlotte, N G., March 1O.-Tho
present session Of the Carolina leg
islature has decided not to enact any
legislation regulating work in any OF
the cotton mills of tho State. The
operatives AS we'll as the mill owners
"ero anxious to avoid any Legislation,
preforring to work out the problem
IN their own way. An agreement
signcd by nearly all the mill owners
Of the State was submitted to tho
Legislature, and this agreement was
accepted in lieu. Following is tho
agreement entered into by tho mill
owners Of tho State:
First. That ono weeks work shall
not exceed GG hours.
Second. That no child less than
II years old shall work in Il cotton
mill during the term Of an available
public school Provided, This shall
not apply to children Of widows or
physically disabled parents. Pro
vided, further. That 10 years shall
be the lowest limit at which children
may be worked under any circum-
stances.
Third. That we will cooperate
with any feasible plan to promote
the education Of the working people
in the State, and will cheorfully sub.
NIT 10 our part Of the burdens and
labors to advance the cause of gen
crnl education.
Fourth. On tho basis Of tho bove
agreements Of cotton mill owners and
managers we hereby petition the leg
'sla'ure not to pass any labor laws
at this session Of tho Legislature.

The State, March 1927

The following article from the pon
of JOS. Oil, and dated Washington,
appearing in the Atlanta Constitu.
ton of yesterday, will be of peculiar
interest to the people of South Caro-
lima:
"S"nat,r McLaurin Of South Caro-
lima is no longer Democrat. His
name has been stricken from the
Democratic caucus roll, and this has
been done with the endorsement Of
the gentleman himself
"Senator McLaurin has, in fact,
virtually read himself out of the
party which elected him to the posi-
ton he now holds Whether he is
TO be classod us Independent or Re
publican, or whether he will prefer
to retain the title Democrat in the
official congressional directory is some
thing for the sonator himself to dc.
termine. As has been stated, how
ever, he is no longer on tho Demo
cratic caucus rolls.
For somo time the junior senator
from South Carolina has boon voting
with the Republicans on every occa-
sion where there WAS a division on
anything like political lines. To
Democratic friends who have spoken
with him on the subject he has con-
tented himself with declaring that
his votes were in accordance with
his conscientious idea Of what was
correct, and has said that he would
continne to vote as he thought right,
despite the criticism Of all his Dem
ocrntic colleagues. Indeed, these
criticisms from other Democrats seem
| to have aroused his resentment to
such n dogree as to make him vote
with the Republicans oftenor, per-
haps, than he would otherwise have
done. Ho has up to the present de-
clared that he was a Democrat, and
that it would be foun1, when the
matter came to test, that his votes
met the approval Of tho most pro.
gressive element of Southern Democ
! racy. Now, however, he has for.

devote most of their time to efforts
to inaugurate movements looking to
the institution of "juvenile courts"
ard the entire separation of Juvenile
prisoners from tho more mature
offenders. The Juvenile courts are
courts where nothing but children
are tried, and instead of being con
fined in prisons with the older Of
Tenders are confined in separate es-
tabl'shments, tried separately and
thus enhancing the possibility Of re-
forming them and having them
brought up i'll tho right path.

Laws That Am Going TO Pass.
Lexington Dispatch.

If I run for the House the fellow
that beats me will have to get up and
get for the following laws 1 am
going to pass:
The farmer that plants corn on
upland closer than four or five feet
in the drill, put him in tho peniten
tiary.
Any one that don't send his chill
dren to school as long as there is a
free school, put him to the whipping
post.
Any one that is not vaccinated
put him in Jail and vaccinate him
with pure smallpox.
Any farmer that does not salt his
hogs once a week, put him On the
chain gang, for a hog salted once q
week will not die of the cholera.
All farmers must raise corn and
grain enough to do them, if they
don't will put them to work in q
blacksmith shop.
If any man does not help his wife
about the house on rainy days or
Sundays, he shall not have any din
ner.
If any lady cooks meal of victuals
and announces that it is ready, if
anyone of the family does not come
ut once, he shall have his mouth filed
with cold mush and handkerchief
tied over it to keep him from swal-
lowing it.
If any person complains of hard
times, put him in the penitentiary,
poor house and chain gang, all three
at the same time. No one has any
right to complain Of hard times.
All bachelors over 40 years shall
be hung at once.
All old maids over 80 years, who
have had five good chances to marry
and refused them, shall be sent as
missionaries to China as punish
ment for not marrying.

that he needs it by not having sense
enough to marry again.

'chard, il he fails to have them he
shall be sent to Africa.
Any man that digs we'll in his lot
instead of near his house shall be
made, draw and carry all the water
his wife needs, for he can run a

water his stock.
Any one that keeps hogs nearer
than 200 yards to his dwelling house
shall be made sleep with them until
he dies of typhoid fever.
Any one that drinks whiekey and
don't put 50 per cent. of water in it
shall have his stomach lined with
copper before he drinks it, 80 this
x and Xxx whiskey shall not burn

spend his money to make his family
happy, but fool will spend his for
dispensary whiskey and let his fam.
lily snffer.
Any member of the House that is
guilty of eating pindars shall be dis
lodged from that body.
You have my laws and platform,
30 help mo carry them out.
Yours truly,
