TOM DIXON AND THE NOVEL he
IS WRITING.

The object which Thomas Dixon had
in writing 1.-The Leopard's Spots was to
show the logical position reached by
Uncle Toms Cabins characters, and to
undo in part the false impression made by
that book of the sentiment in the South
toward the negro. Rev. Mr.. Nordau, a
noted divine, writing of the book says
lit is the most wonderful novel ever
written and he adds:
Man! Do you realize the great re-
sponsibility that you have assumed? Is
it your deliberate purpose to undo the
work Of Harriet Beecher Stowe?'
Commenting on Rev. Mr.. Nordan's
criticism, Mr.. John Temple Graves truly
says:
Let this reverend gentleman compose
himself. The world of justice and
thought will lose nothing by having Mrs.
Stoves work undone. Uncle Toms
Cabin never deserved a place in the
literature of our country. Aside from
being mediocre in thoughtful %presenta-
tion, it was grossly fanciful and cruelty
partisan.
"Dr. Dixon is a sincere, thoughtful,
courageous and yet merciful writer, who
deserves to live. will live. Mrs. Stowe
was mischievously imaginative, an agita-
tor bent on infammatory %upheaval, and
the memory of Uncle Toms Cabin de-
serves to die. should die.
The whole country, in common with
the South, owes a debt of gratitude to
the man who has undone the work of
bitterness and hate"
All who have read "The Leopard's
Spots will be glad to know that Mr..
Dixon is at present engaged in writing
another novel. 1t will be a Romance of
the Ku-Klux Klan-the other side of
T~ourgee's Fools Errand." One of the
heroes is to be modelled after Randolph
A. Shotwell-as true and valiant a knight
as ever drew sword in defense of his
home and his country. This writer once
urged the late Col. VIM. l.. Saunders
and Hon. Frederick N. Strudwick to write
a history of the Ku-Klux Khan in North
Carolina. They were, perhaps, better
fitted to write it than any other men.
1t was Col. Saunders. more than any
OJnef man, VINO maze q farce or the
Congressional invesitation of the doings
of the Ku-Klux in North Carolina. The
world has gained its conception of the
aim and origin of the Ku-KluX from the
Fools Errand. No man who belonged to
the Khan will ever write a history of the
organization, and it may be best that
it's true aim and it's character should
be presented in an historical novel.
lated as a campaign document by the
Republican ->ational Committee, and it
poisoned the minds of thousands of men
and women against the chivalrous people
who employed the disguise of the Ku-
klux Khan to protect their wives and
sisters, just as the patriots used the In
dian disguise to throw over the tea into
Boston Harbor. Both were patriots.
The friends of DR.. Dixon will be graft
fed to know that already nearly so. 900
copies of Leopard's Spots have been sold,
and that now the publishers are bringing
it out in lots of 10, 900. It is believed
the sale will reach 100, 900 this year. 1t
is being brought out in London by Grant
Richards and will soon be published in
Leipzig, Paris and Nice.

COTTON MILLS AND CHILD LABOR
LAWS,

The New England press seems sud
denly to nave united in d crusade against
child labor in the Southern cotton mills.
So far as North Carolina is concerned there
are fewer young children employed in
cotton mills than heretofore, and most
of the mill men are discouraging their
employment and lessening the number.
The most progressive favor a law that
will prevent employment of young chill
dren in cotton mills. The Democratic
State Convention in South Carolina de-
clared in favor of such a law. The North
Carolina Legislature at its next session
will pass a law preventing the employ
ment of children in factories. The
Southern people recognize the evils that
grow out of the employment of children.
and they may be relied upon to put an
end to it without the assistance of out
side parties.
Why have the New England papers
chosen this particular time to lecture the
South about child labor? Here seems
to be the cause of their sudden zeal: a
Connecticut cotton mill company, located
at Hartford. has decided to dismantle,
and remove their plant to Alabama. 1t
has a payroll Of SIC, 000 a week and gives
employment to about 700 people.
This concern and others that are NOV
ing South are induced to do SO by q
variety of reasons. The climate, the
ncarness to the cotton fields, and the
cheaper living are the three chief factors.
The New England papers put it solely
on the ground that in the South they
can employ child labor whereas it is
prohibited in Connecticut. They are
| unwilling to admit that the South is
rapidly becoming the centre of cotton
manufacturing, and that it's primacy will
be established before another census
period. Unwilling to see the condition
as it exists and to accept the logic Of
events, some papers are seeking to ex-
plain the logical movement to the South
by saying that Northern mill men are
moving their plants to the South in order
to get the advantage of employing chill
dren.
The South rejoices in the erection of
every factory and in the removal of sue
cessful concerns from New England to
our moro suitable environment. If any
are coming in the expectation of en-
ploying child labor, the South does not
welcome them. The Southern people,
awake to the dangers Of employing chill
dren in the factories, are getting ready
to enact laws against it, and they wish
to deceive nobody. But that is not the
controlling reason, or even one of the
chief reasons. for the removal OF cotton
mills from New England to the more
profitable South. They will continue to
come and the passage of reasonable child
labor laws will not deter them.
The people Of North Carolina are
strongly in favor of a child labor law.
One would nave been enacted at the last
session of the General Assembly, but the
mill men all signed a paper pledging
themselves not to employ any child I'M
der twelve years of age. That pledge
has been kept by most of the mills, but
| some have continued to employ young
children directly or indirectly. 1t has
been demonstrated that nothing but a
statute on the subject will answer.
The problem in the South is not a new

cHoPPING DOWN POLES.
Chief of Police Hopkins Complies
With the Order Of the
City Council

The city council OF Chickasha
aud the Bell Telephone company
are approaching a crisis in their
war, which viii probably have to
be ultimately settled BY court de-
cision.
The Bell company had already
arrived at Chickasha when the
town was organized and received
its charter, but they had no lc-
cal system. They applied for a
franchise but didn't get it. That
did not discourage them alittie bit,
evidently, for they kept right on
81 work planting poles and string
ing wires. regardless of the coun-
Gil or its ordinances.
At its last meeting the company
issued orders to Chief Of Police
Hopkins to see that the council
complied with the city ordinances
Accordingly this morning the chief
girded up his loins, armed himself
with an axe, and cleared for action.
The first pole he worked on was
near the Schafer house, and when
the woodchopper completed his
job the pole and wires looked like
80 cents worth of dog meat. He
will continue until the ordinances
are complied with, and the majesty
of the law j. satl fifd.
