Labor Conditions in the South.
Prof. Dowd Arraigns the Crime
II Parents in mitting Their

IN Factories.
Milwaukee Sentinel, 2Otn.

N' ~ W '"NVN ''u' tpSl, I'tD.
Professor Jerome Dowd of the
department Of sociology, Univcr
sitN Of Wisconsin,, delivered aR
address at the Hanover Street
COngrosationul church last even
ms, ON "LabOr Conditions in the
South, - in which he dwtlt u,
length on the cheap labor meuace
frCm that section. He arraignsd
in vigorous terms the crime of
parents IN per mittin" their Young
er children to work in factories,
and said that there were 900, 600
children under 4 years of age in
America who are employed in
factories. Professor Dowd said
In part:
"N hat the assurance Of more
stable conditions the South is
raising, phoenix like from the
ashes. The people are taking
courage, and are embarking on
new and bold enterprises. Capt.

North and West Factories of
many kinds arc springing up in
every State, especially for the
manufacture of cotton goods.
Within a radius of 100 miles of
Charlotte, n. c., there are 800
cotton facturies nearly all built
within the last few years. In
South Carolina in 1890 there wer.
only 1882 industrial establish
ments. In 1900 there were 81
162, an increase of 81 per cent
The capital invested increased
from 29, 900, 600 to 67,OOO,OOO
"According to the census Of
1890 there were over 900, 900
children under IA years of age
grinding their lives out in the
mills, mines and factories of this
country. 1t is the tssti, ony of
statistics and of medical science
that the working Of children in
factories cuts off life about one
half and stunts both body and
mind 1t is said that tbs savage
Australian, when pressed by want
will cook and eat his own children.
For my self cannot SEQ that eat
ing a child is much worse than
grinding out its life in factory.

them all day a, he works 4 horse
his neighbers would call him a

horses would such colts grow to

architecture. Until we learn to
treat children with az much con-
sideration as horses and cows and
dogs we cannot boast of very
great advance in civilization. "

Foul Attempt at Murder Near
Rock Hill A Package of Let

A diah"icnl attempt was made
to mnrdes Mr.. Walter r Patton
last Tuesday about Z o'clock p m.
He is manager of the large branch
store of the Roddey Mercantile
Co. ut Roddey, six miles south
east of Rock Hill, on the s. G.
& G. Elk road. About the hour
named Mr.. Patton walked out of
the store to close the shutters on
the front windows and while he
was thus engaged, having his left
arm raised, some unkno wn person
clouched behind pine tree stand
ing alongside the public road, 81
feet distant from the store, fred
shot at Mr.. Patton and it struck
him directly over the heart; but
a bundle of Eve letters and two
business cards which he had pre-
viously put in the inside pocket
of his coat evidently saved his
life. The ball struck the bundle
of letters and glanced, tearing a
button from his vest, but doing
no other harm. Soon as the man
fired his first shot he jumped into
the road and taking aim fred
again, the ball passiag over MIR.

often carries a pistsl between his
store and home, had 1t on his per-

he fed into the darkness and made
bis escape.
As soon as the facts became

O'Clock that night Mr.. Shuford

dogs. Accompanied by a num-

murder, but owing to the amount
of walking that had bssn done, a
reliable trail could not be obtained,
but taking one of the dogs to the
place whore the man had sIided
down an embankmsnt when he
jumped into the road from behind
the tree, tho hound took his track
and followed it down tho railroad
towsrd tho river bridge. After
trailing at break neck speed and
with certainty for about a quarter
of mile, the dog left the rail
road track and took the public
road, and was soon out of hear
ing. Finally, however, he could
be heard with some indistinctness
about mile up tho river, baylng
some one. The crowd in pursuit
fastened in that direction, but
when they had gone about a half
milo the dog returned to them and
the chase was given up. Rock

most of the farms escaped. If the
storm had been so severe throughout
the county as it was in Plymouth, the
crops would have been ruined.
When Senator Spooner charged
democrats with attacking the army in

Fourth of July speech at PittSburg
and says no discussion of the presi-
dents speech would be adequate which
failed to deal with one very important
rule of action that was admirably
stated thus:
The Importance of everything that
is said can be tested by how nearly
what is done afteward corresponds
with it. 1t is a very good thing for
us to meet together on the Fourth Of
July in order to remind ourselves of
what our grandfathers did, to refresh
our memories as TO what our govern
ment really means. / ask of each
man here that he prove his truth by
his endeavOr; that in whatever line he
may be; that in whatever walk of life
he may be: that whatever may be the
line i'm which he does his work, he try
to act throughout the year as he talks
on the Fourth of July.
1t is an excellent rule, applicable to
president and people alike, but it is a
rule which is at one time or another
violated by all of us, and which from
the days of the Hebrew prophets has
been set aside time and again by weak
humanity. But we should all try to
live up TO ito make our acts square
with our words.
