A NOBLE MANUFACTURER.
ritv and Children

Charity and Children.
We have a mill owner in this State
who feels no better than the lowllese
child in his employ, and who by ms
friendly interest in the welfare OF the
operatives has convinced them that he
is their brother and friend. He wor-
ships in the same church with them, IN
their business affairs encourages them 10
be frugal and Industrious, and provides
excellent school facilities for the chill
dren of the village. In addition this good
man has fitted up a library to which all
the employees have access at every leisure
moment The villagers are happy ana
prosperous Many of them own their
own homes, and all of them have the
greatest respect for the brotherly owner
of the factory. His influence is con-
slant benediction throughout the COM
munity. For such as he no law is neces-
sary regulating the employment of little
children, but all factory owners in North
Carolina are not such as he. There are
some who wish there were no Sunday so
that their profits might not be cut down
a seventh. The law is a necessity for
men like these.

MORAL AND POLITICAL COWARD.

The great bulk of the white people of
North Carolina have been voting their
convictions for twenty-five years and
hteir convictions will impel them to con-
tinue to vote the Democratic ticket. The
men who are now prating about 1.-THE
right to vote as one pleases" are in near
ly every case advocating Republican
doctrine but lack the courage of their
convictions. The latest public declara-
tion for a demand for independence"
is from one who approves Roosevelt's
hypocritical plans with regard to trusts.
Look about you in your own commun-
ity Who are the men who are urging
white men to divide? Is it not men who
are propagating Republican doctrine but
claim the right to be called Democrats
and Independents? Are they not the
men who are standing in the way of po-
litical righteousness? If they would
quit sailing under false colors, they
would have chance to advocate
course that condemns their cowardice.

Politics and Politicians.

Referring to the nomination of Patter-
son in a little room in the Benbow House
after the Hill syndicate had underwritten
his boom. the Greensboro Patriot says:
"Some time enduring of the night of
tho aforesaid State convention another
convention was held at which Mr.. j.
Lindsay Patterson, of Winston, was nom
mated for Congress in opposition to the
Hon. w. w. Kitchin. Just where or
when it was held, what excuse there was
for such an action of who participated
are as vet unknown outside the star cir
Gle There is a we'll founded suspicion,
however, that it was the contamination
of a deal made with Pritchard when 1t
was agreed that Hill would be endorsed
in the Republican State Convention.
There is more than a suspicion-it is a
known fact-that all the anti-Clark men
in the first convention were not anti
Kitchin men, so the act of the last named
convention" must represent the VIII OF
at least half a dozen men.

Jim Moody evidently sees the hand
writing on the wall. A Hayesville cor
respondent of the Asheville Citizen says
that Gudger got decidedly the best of the
debate. We quote this paragraph from
the report:
"Moody used his entire time in reply
ing to some of Gudger's questions and
charges. He is on the defensive PLAINLY
and was badly depressed as the crowd
was largely Democratic. He attempted
to rally on the National Park bill and
excitedly exclaimed: eff 1 am repudiat-
ed by my district it will defeat the Park
bill, as Congress will say you people
don't want it, that the Democratic party
had emissaries going up and down the
country fighting the bill.
The attempt to make political capital
out of the Appalachian Park bill will do
Moody no good.

A New List Of Rates Submitted By
Leather Workers Last Night.
Harness Makers at Hehkopfs Walk Out
The Collar Shop Shut
Down.
DEMANDS OF The UNION MEN


Many members OF the leather work
ers OF Paducah are idle today, as re-
suit Of waik-out at the Rehkopf Sad
dlery Company. In all over 100 are
not at work.
The union leather workers have
made a demand on the kehkopf COM
pany, Michael Bros. and the Psducah
Saddle company for uniform price
on ali piece work, that the firms en-
ploye only one apprentice boy TO every
seven Journoymen, and that all girls
in the shops be discharged.
There are few girls employed a.
present. but there are about three
boys to every seven journeyumen, and
this is considered too many by the
journeymen who make the demands.
Last night committee waited on
all the proprietors but no satisfactory
answer was given them, the proprie-
tors saying thata they would answer
at their leisure. The employees OF the
Rehkopf harness department, about
fifty total, walked out last night and
refused to return TO work this
morning, and held meeting this
morning to further discuss the rates
arranged, and the general situation.
Last night Mr.. Rehkopf closed down
the collar shops on Court street,
saying that he had full stock OF
collars and that the shops would re-
main closed indefinitely. This, it
seems, does no; suit the harness max
ers, some of them are in favor OF q
walk ont in sympathy with the col
lar. makers. There are about hfty-hve
out in this department.
Michael Bros. employe only two
girls and say that the demands made
on them will amount to little, but the
proprietors talk as if they will accept
the new rates. The men are all paid
by the piece, each piece having GER
tam price, but in none OF the shops
are the prices uniform. This is the
principal bone of contention.
Mr. Rehkopf does not seem to be in
the least concerned about the situation
and informed reporter this morning
that he did not care TO talk, but would
