SOME FACTS ABOUT
CHILD LABOR IN GEORGIA

MACON, Ca, Nov. Is. 1902.
To the Editor Of The Journal:
Referring and responding TO an inn
portant inquiry in Saturdays Journal by
Rev. George Smith, Whether Child La
Dor in Georgia Cotton Factories Existed
as AIleged?' the writer, as a humanitari-
an, calls our present general ass1nblys
attention to the following facts, viz.
The Augusta, Macon. Columbus. Allan
ia and other mills all, more or less, en-
ploy infants under u years old, fact
patent to any visitor or observer Of these
mills. 1t is equally true that most OF
these children wear haggard faces and
sallow compilations, resulting from their
too strenuous lives, and impure, sunless
atmosphere poisoned by dessicated lint,
and impalpable dust, tending, doubtless,
to precipitate premature old age and
death, for surely these children can't live
out their allotted time under such UNI
healthy environments.
Besides their mental and moral better
ment seems a thing apart from the mill
owners concern, and naturally so, as dol
lars are their chief aim
Some of these large mills, several stories
high, employ bearing mothers, who car
~ their children to the spindles or looms,
laying them in third or fourth story win
dows for convenient nursing, producing
infinitely worse state of slavery OF Anglo
Saxon mothers than ever / saw five dec
AIDES ago among African women In slav-
cry days.
Now while our parvenu legal solons
are not expected 70 enact either surnptu-
airy or class legislation, they are expected
10 give our white children a negro's
whack at education which should be
compulsory or nothing.
Also, factories should be put under
surveillance, as the state penitentiary and
sanitarium are.

ANOTHER SUGGESTION
ABOUT THE DEPOT

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 8, 1902.
To the Editor of The Journal:
have been confined at home one week
today with a very lame foot and ankle.
While so confined have read much in
your paper on the depot question, and that
being very important subject, thought
I would make a suggestion, one that
think would be of great financial benefit
to the state of Georgia and also to At
lanta. It seems quite certain now that we
are to have a new union depot, which
am glad to know. The important question
arises as to what viii become of the
Western and Atlantic railroad when it is
left at the old stand alone, without any
connections, etc My proposition Is for it
not to be left, but go with the other
roads to the new station. Let the great
state of Georgia, for the Western and At
lantic road, take its pro rata share in the
new company and by that means, when
the present lease expires, we will be in
dependent and on good basis. To get
the money to make this deal the state
owns valuable right of way that it can
sell and have money left. From Forsyth
street on both sides Of II, on up the line
to Central avenue, the city of Atlanta buy
ing the present depot and the property
between Pryor street and the Whitehall
viaduct On this property the city can
give us our long talked of city market,
also a fine auditorium to seat 1000 peo-
pie. The city hall could all be put over the

Sick Cattle.
]. q. e., Eastman, ca. !:

]. T. c., Eastman, Ga:
There Is some disease among cattle mere,
supposed to be black tongue, described as
follows: One yearling taken one oay
dropping about, standing with his head
hung down, lying down with his head
stretched out on the ground, would not
eat, running slightly at the nose of green
lsh color, urin green color, swollen under
Jaws; died second day. Four have died re-
Gently, two grown cows and two yearlings;
all seem to be seriously affected; the
whole body swells before they die. Some
of them were drenched with several
things, which might have prolonged their
lives. Some of them that tried to eat
seemed as If there mouths were sore or
their threats, so they could not eat.
Please give the disease and remedy
through The Journal as early as possible,
as 1 am a subscriber.
Answer-I am unfamiliar with the disc
ease described, but IL appears to be poison.
Your cattle have evidently eaten some
thing which has poisoned them, as evil
denced by the symptoms described and
their swollen bodies. The best thing to do
in such cases is to drench at once with
pint of melted lard or hnseed oil. These
are the best specifics 10 use with cattle
when their stomachs are poisoned. AS
they begin to recover feed on bran mash
or dry hay and keep them in quiet place
for a few days.

WORD ABOUT
INCOMPETENT ENGINEERS
MADISON. Ca, Nov. "a, 1902.

MADISON, Ca, Nov. IA, 1902.
To the Editor of The Journal:
Dear Sirs: In your issue OF the 18th,
1 notice a letter from Mr.. Andrew P.
Rivers, Springate, Ca, on competent en-
gineers. which think is very timely.
Being in the hardware and fitting bus
mess, see great number Of cases Of
just such gross ignorances as Mr.. Rivers
describes and under our system, think
it is wonderful that we do not have more
explosions of boilers throughout the whole
country.
I shall write our representative in re-
gard to this matter and hope, should
any of the members of our legislature see
this, that they will give their hearty
support to any reform along this line
that may be offered. Wake up gentlemen,
and give the people at large some pro-
lection from the ignorant "Chunker," who
after once seeing a boiler fired, says he
can do the same. and for 80 cents per day.
The man who hires one of this sort, is
guilty OF criminal negligence. and the
only way to put stop to 1t, is to require
all engineers to stand an examination.
I would like to hear from Mr.. Lyman
Hall on this subject. Respectfully.
WILL L. CARBINE.

BILL W0, 90PT
IL. e SYSTEM AGAIN

The bill by Senator McMichael which
seeks to have the present system of work.
ing the State convicts adopted again is be-
ing considerably discussed by the mem
bers of the legislature. The bill puts 10000
a year from convict hire to the school
fund, and the balance is to be apportioned
among the counties of the state.
The following is a copy Of the bill. which
Senator McMichael says is the best solu-
ton of the problem:
"A bill to be entitled an act to provide
for hiring of felony cOnvicts by the pris-
on commission after the expiration of the
present contracts: To apportion the net
proceeds from said hire and for other pur-
poses.
"Sec. /. Be it enacted by the general as
sembly of Georgia and 1t is hereby enacted
by authority of the same, That the prison
commission of this state shall, at the expi-
ration Of the present contracts hire all the
felony convicts of the state according to
the terms of the act, approved December
q, 1897, for period of five 90 years.
"Sec. q Be ii further enacted by the au-
thority of the same, That $4,000 of the net,
proceeds from said hire shall go to the
common school fund of the state, and
the remainder shall be apportioned annu-
ally among all the counties of the state
population, and the amount received by
each county shall go to the credit of a
fund to be known as the road and bridge
fund and shall be expended by the proper
local authorities for the working and
building of good roads and bridges, and
for no other purpose. The apportionment
of this fund shall be made annually on the
LIST day of April, beginning April 1, 1904.
''Sec. 3.-Be 1t further enacted, That the
prison commission shall hire all the felony
cOnvicts of the state under the terms and
regulations of the act approved December
q, 1897, not in conflict with this act, at
such times and in such manner as in their
judgment seems best for the state, except
such convicts as are now required under
said act to be placed on the state farm
prison.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That all
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this
act, be and the same are hereby repealed.

REPRESENTATIVE KNIGHT
MAKES AN EXPLANATION

To Editor of The Journal:
The bill introduced jointly by Messrs.
Rankin, Tigner, Knight, Richardson,
Glenn, Hall, Underwood and Deal seems
to have been misconstrued and misrep-
resented by designing parties, said par
ties representing to the sawmill and naval
stores operators that the bill would com
pei them to incorporate and take out
charters for their ''Logs Roads" and
Tram Roads" This is a prevarication
and 1 ask that The Journal (the good
old daily of the people,, please publish
this statement for the benefit of those
throughout the state who are concerned.
Said bill can effect no one except roads
that are common carriers" and exercis-
ing 1.-THE right of eminent domain" and
only to that part of roads operating on
Georgia soil. Respectfully, ETC.,

MAKE SUGGESTION
TO THE LEGISLATURE

THOMSON, Ca, Nov. 8, lsJ2
Editor Atlanta Journal:
want to suggest to the legislature now
in session, through the columns Of The
Journal, that they create another COM
mittee. A good roads committee, whose
duty it viii be to take into consideration
the road question; let them investigate
the roads and systems of those counties
In the state that are making the best
roads. Also let them investigate the sys-
TENS that are in operation in other states,
and report their findings to the legisla-
ture, with amendments to our road laws
that will help us to make better roads.
am very much interested in this great
question of good roads and so on for
the people Of Georgia and the south.
Our laws are very defective on these
lines. Yours truly,

German Marriage RIunders.
London Telegraph


II appears that pastors well registrars
in Germany get confused over their matrimo-
NAL business. A few weeks ago of the lat
ter, at Neu Ruppin, near Berlin, stamped the
certificate OF marriage with the words free
from trichinosis," he happened to be an
official for examining meat well. Now this
anecdote can be capped by the following, in
which a pastor plays the part OF the muddler:
A young widower OF Singlingen. near Weiss
baden, was about 70 enter upon wedlock for a
second time and the arrangements were all
complete for the nuptial ceremony at Heddern-
helm for a recent Sunday. Suddenly, the day
before the wedding, a messenger came from the
reverend gentleman TO the budding bridegroom
70 say that the service must be postponed for
three weeks, as in publishing the bans he had
given out the name OF the mother-in-law in
stead OF the bride. Persuasion was OF no avail.
The only alternative for the bridegroom was to
marry the mother-in-law II he insisted the
nuptial ceremony taking place on the day orig
inally fixed; and as neither he nor his hance
was disposed 70 accept this solution. the pair
have 70 wait the prescribed time OF another
three weeks.
