Southern Child Labor.

GuntOn's magazine is still discuss
ing the child labor question of the
South, where white children from sew
en- years old and upwards are en-
ployed in the factories and thereby
totally deprived Of all educational IA
cilities. The writer of the article
points cut the fact that owing to fool
ish race prejudice on the part Of the
Southern writes, Negroes are not per-
mitted to work in the factories and
they are confined to the agricultural
pursuits of the country, which gives
their children ample opportunity to
attend the public schools and they are
doing So The late census shows that
illiteracy is growing to an alarming
extent among the poor whites of the
South, while on the other hand liter
acy is becoming much more common
among the blacks With such schools
as Hampton, Tuskeegee and hundred
other similar institutions scattered
throughout the South for cOlOred chill
dTen and with not a single one of the
kind in the South for the white chill
4ren it is plain to be seen that within
the next TWO decades the illiteracy
will be confined for the most part
among the poor whites of the South
instead of the blacks, as it has been
for centuries in the past, and with
such a prevailing condition there is
no doubt, as has been previously said
in these columns, but that the owners
of factories will give the work to the
educated head and hand in preference
to the uneducated, whether such head
and hand be white or black. Even
blind man can see that a great evOlu-
ton is going on in the South so far
as the inhabitants thereof are con-
cerned and, it is here predicted, that
the day is not far distant when this
evolution is going to burst forth into
a revolution. and then something start
ling is going to be revealed. Day is
beginning to dawn and when it does
there is going to be a radical change
in public affairs as to the sociological.
