Nearly all the papers in the State
during December-including the Char
lotte Observer and Morning Post-ad-
vocated the passage of a law forbidding
the employment of children in fac
tories. The mill men-or a large per
cent of them-signed a pledge to em-
ploy no children. except the children
of widows, and to limit the working
day to eleven hours. In view of this
pledge, the Judiciary committee recon-
mends that no legislation be enacted. A
law ought to be adopted binding all
mills to what most of them have agreed
to do. If such law is not enacted,
the agitation has resulted in a step in
that direction. 1t is certain to come.

NO GERM" IN 1T.

Justice Douglas is not a good prophet,
at least he is not good in detecting germs.
Concluding his concurring opinion in the
case of Theophilus White VS.. Aver and
Worth, he uses these words:
"Of course / would deeply regret to see
my native State visited by earthquakes
or cyclones of civil or material nature,
and | am glad to say that they have no
germ in the decision we are rendering.
This case is a small one actually and
potentially
In view of recent occurrences, it seems
that the case did contain germs" not
then detected by the Justice. 1t is certain
that he was in error in thinking the case
"a small one, actually and potentially" "
Perhaps Justice Douglas sees that "po-
tentially" the case was not a small one.

1t was a mistake to put Mecklenburg
and Cabarrus in one senatorial district.
The effect of it is to give Cabarrus, a
small county, a Senator all the time.
Mecklenburg is entitled to a Senator.
Its fraction over goes to give Cabarrus
a Senator Wake and Franklin would
he equally entitled to two as would
Buncombe and Henderson. But. as a
whole. the plan seems to give satisfac-
tion and will insure 40 Democratic

Six hundred million dollars is a
smooth sum but that is what the Rock

the hotels which havesbeen built in the
last few years by Mr. Flagler, another
Standard Oil magnate.
The car on which the Rockefeller party
travels is palace on wheels. There
are rooms for each person, with an OBJ
serVatlon platform in the rear and a
drawing room in the center of the car.
A perfectly appointed kitchen, with gas
range, ice boxes and buffers pantry is
at the other end.
This moving residence requires five
servants to care for it, besides the
regular tram hands.

POOR PROSPECT FOR PEACHES.
Looks Like There Will Be Little
Fruit This Year.

Many of the fruit trees IN orchards
about Americas show evidence of
swelling buds and shrinking prospects
of peach crop. If the warm weather
holds on another week hundreds of
trees will be in full bloom.
State Entomologist Scott says he has
received many reports of swelling buds
IN the orchards in the southern part of
the state, and if the warm weather
continues there is danger of disaster
to the fruit crop. He expects a good
hard freeze before the first OF March,
and if the weather permits buds to
open much further there is little
doubt that most of the early fruit will
thus be killed. Comparatively cold
weather from now on Is about the only
thing that will save the fruit crop.

TO BRING ABE KLINE
BACK To THIS CITY.
Sheriff of Stewart County Is Coming
Today.
WILL BE GIVEN A TRIAL TODAY
On Warrant Issued to Local Bank
Charging Cheating and swindling
Kline Came Clear On a Trial In
Stewart.

Abe Kline is coming to Americas to-
day, accompanied by the sheriff OF
Stewart county, and this afternoon.
perhaps, or at an early date will stand
trial upon the charge of cheating and
swindIing.
The charge against Kline is that of
having cashed worthless draft some
time ago, charge that seems to have
been preferred at some other places.
Kline has been held in Lumpkin
several days, pending trial there in a
case somewhat similar to the one here,
but it was stated yesterday that proof
was insufficient and he was discharged.
He will be brought to Americas on
the noon train today.
Sheriff Bell wired Sheriff johnson,
of Stewart county, to that effect yester-
day, as this arrangement was more
convenient.
It is said that one difficulty in the
way of prosecuting Kline was the in
ability to bring parties from Baltimore
to appear against him-men for whom
| he worked before drafts were cashed
But the bank here has wired Kllne's
former employer, offering to pay his
expenses to Americas if he would come
to the trial and appear against Kline
The warrant against Kline, charging
cheating and swind1ing here, was issued
August LIST of last year, against Albert
Kline, who represented himself as a
drummer for Baltimore house.
The trial of the case here promises
to be decidedly interesting,
