North Carolina Mills Com pro.
mise.

Charlotte, N c., March TO-
The present session of the North
Carolina Legislature has decided
not to enact any legislation reg
ulating work in any of the cotton
mills of the State. The operatives
as we'll as the mill owners were
anxious to avoid any legislation,
preferring to work out the prob
lem in their own way. An agree
ment signed by nearly all the
mill owners Of the State was sub
mitted to the legislature, and this
agreement was accepted in lieu of
the propose law regulating labor.
Following is the agreement en-
tered into by the mill owners of
the State:
First. That one weeks work
shall not exceed Sc hours.
Second. That no child less
than IL years old shall work in
a cotton mill during the term of
an available public school. Pro-
vided, This shall not apply to
children of widows or ply sically
disabled parents. Provided, fur
ther, That 10 years shall be the
lowest limit at which children
may be worked under any cir
cumstances.
Third. That We will cooperate
with any feasible plan to promote g
the education of the working
people in the state, and will
cheerfully submit to our part OF
the burdens and labors to ad.
vance the cause of general educa.
| tion.
Fourth. On the basis of the
above agreements of cotton mill
owners and managers we hereby
petition the legislature not Ia
pass any labor laws at the session
Of this legislature.

Thirty-fve working girls made

water soaked clothing. Mr. Jer.
vey rushed to his side and found
that he was dead. Dashing hand
fulls of water upon Webb the
flames were. very soon quenched.
The lightning struck his head,
passed down his right side, thence
to his right foot. The right
trouser leg was ripped from seam
end to seam end and the top part
to heavy hunting boot was
divided into two parts as neatly
as il it had been in the hands of
an experienced shoemaker. The
stroke was = heavy one, as was
evidenced by the fact that Mr..
Jervey and several others were
shocked. One or two negro men
were pa ssing near the beach at
the time Of the accident and all
Of them were shocked more or
less. One of them was severely
burned about the face and neck.
Mr.. Jervey called to these men
for help and they willingly came
to his assistance, but, of course,
they could do nothing. 1t has
been said by some that the young
man could have been brought
back to life had medical atten-
tion been available. Naturally
as soon as Mr.. Jervey recovered
from the shock he did what he
could, but even his best efforts
we're of no avail.
When the body was placed in
the hands of the coroner it was
possible to see the damage done
by the electricity. A portion of
the body was blackened and
charred as if it had passed
through a fire. The eyebrows
and hair on the forehead were
scorched and singed. The YER.
dict of the coroner's jury was in
accordance with the facts as re-
lated by the principal witness,
Mr.. Jervey. The funeral services
will be held today.
Mr.. Webb was in the 10th year
of his age. He was employed as
a clerk in the hardware store of
H. McGee Sanders, King street,
where he had a reputation as a
sober and industrious youth.
His father is Capt. b. @. Webb,

WENT, HUNTING SUNDAY.
And One Was Killed by . Stroke
of Lightning.

News and Courier.
Accompanied by one compan-
ion, young Benjamin G. Webb,
Jr., was struck by lightning
Sunday afternoon at 3 O'Clock
at Elliott's Cut, and instantly
killed. The tragedy is one OF
the saddest that has taken place
near here for sometime and
grief among the young mans
friends was universal yesterday
Elliott's Cut is not very easy
place to reach, and on this &C
count the information Of the
unfortunate accident was not
brought to the city until late
Sunday night. Even then for
sometime it was not known
whether Mr. Webb or his COM
panion, Mr. Lewis Jervey, had
been killed. Facts were meagre.
The suspense was dreadful until
a few friends went to tho scene
Of the accident and later tele-
phoned that MIR Webb had been
dead for five or six hours. 1t
was too late then, of course, to
do anything except to bring the
body to the city. Really the
first information that came to
the city was through telephone
message from some person un
known. The person giving the
information was at Wappoo
Bridge and said that during the
afternoon the taller of two
young men had been struck by
lightning and killed. The per-
son said that the men had been
shooting, and from this infor-
nation it was supposed that the
unfortunate one was either Mr.
Webb or Mr. Jervey. The friends
who went to Wappoo did not
reach the city until 2 O'Clock
yesterday morning. The night
was g stormy one and rowing
against tide and gale was very
difficult. The boat the men had
to bring the body homo in was
a frail one and the oars small
but after vigorous pulling the
sad party landed the corpse.
The body was Immediately ia
ken to Conelley's morgue, where
the coroner's inquest was held
yesterday morning.
Young Webb, accompanied by
Mr.. Lewis Jervey, had taken a
small row boat during the morn
ing and gone to WAppoo for a
days outing. The weather was
warm and there was just enough
wind on the water to give courage
to the boys to row harder and
harder. The entire morning was
spent in genuine sport. For hours
nothing but the ring of a rifle was
heard. The sky was bright and
not cloud fingered in its flight
long enough to cut off the light
of the sun, A rest for lunch was
taken. But after the party had
finished that impromptu meal
dark clouds blurred the horizon.
1t was the first thunder storm of
the season. But there was not
only thunder in the dark clouds,
but lightning as well. When the
first shower passed and the rain
fell sparingly the hunters came
from under their shelter and hur-
ried to their boat, determined to
row for home when the oppor-
tunity came. Mr.. Jervey was
now slightly in advance of young
Webb, but as both were almost in
the act Of climbing into the boat
and showing off a bright flash
burst right in their midst, fol
lowed by thunderous roar. The
bolt had struck and killed. Mr..
JerVey was stunned, but not 80
seriously injured. The moment

why the Empre.. Went to war.

At the beginning of the year 1900
Tsze Hsi An (the empress dowager)
was harassed on every side. All her
experience in the evasion of danger
pointed toward the shedding of blood
as the only certain means Of success.
1t seems as if she had adopted as mot
to the CORY platform of Robespierre:
I'll ny a que les morris qui ne review
nent pas" That was the only solu-
ton which she was able to discover,
and she seized upon it with avidity.
Her experience was net broad enough
to forecast the result; while her SUI
perstition, ignorance snd hope led her
to accept the supposed invulnerabili
ty of the Boxers as an established
fact. When that illusion vanished and
the allies appeared at T'ung Chow, IA
miles from Peking, she fed. taking
