HEIRLOOM AND RELIC.

Tarboro Southerner: Coffield Foun-
tain of this county, was in town Friday
and had with him an order on the
treasurer of Virginia for zone hun
dred Spanish milled dollars or full
value in gold or silver"
It was dated 1913 and was issued
pursuant to an act of the Virginia
Assembly passed May 3rd of that year.
This treasury order or note was Is
sued to Mr.. Fountains grandfather,
Solomon Fountain, who was a soldier
in the Revolutionary war.
The note had been worn through
along the folds SO that it had to be
pasted on cloth. This prevents any
gIimpses of whatever may have been
on the back.
The letter is old style, like the let,
ter f. The number of the note is
6179. Three names are written On the
face, but not one can be distinctly
made out.
The state of Virginia might proba
bly, pay this note yet, but Mr.. Fount
ain regards it more for its association
than its money value, so it is doubt
ful if 1t will ever be presented for re
demptlon.

PROGRESSIVE STEPS OF

It seems that the Central Committee formed in Georgia for the purpose of regulating child labor In the mills is get ting in some good work on that line and also ip the direction of compulsory educa- tion. An editorial in The Baltimore Herald commends recent move on the part of Georgia mill owners in the fol- lowing manner:
 ..In the absence of State legislation bearing upon the matter, the owners of 130 cotton factories in Georgia have un- dertaken to regulate the employment of children In their mills. They have eater their mills any child under IF years of age who cannot produce certihcate showing it has attended school during four months of the current year, unless the child con- tributes to the support of widowed moth CT or physically disabled parents. No child under 12 years of age will be per, mitted to work at night, and no child under 10 years of age will be emplOy yed under any circumstances.
 This important step on the part of the manufacturers will not only regulate the child labor question in the Georgia cCt- ton mills, but will tend to promote edu- cation among their employees. 1naeed: their scheme partakes In measure of compulscry education .and .lltog gsther, 1t is exceedingly wise.
