him because anything he said or did TO us put

Mr. Wattersons ambition to unite the democratic party

1T is to be feared, however that his ability tn re,J
such high service has been impaired by his failure 10

CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH.

The child labor problem in the South is beginning
to receive attention throughout this section
There be but opinion among good citizens
and that is that child labor must be properly re-
strained and regulated The interests and well being
OF the children and the country require it, The

successful
There is a natural feeling in the South against the
New England hue and cry that has been raised upon
this question We tired of having the mote in
eye pointed ont by the brother with the beam in his
In New England there IL 900 child workers,
twice as many proportionatey there at the

child labor and today the principal employers of
children IN this section II is fact that the cotton
duck mills which have been operating at New Hart
ford Conn., for many years have been recently re-
moved 70 a Southern state to take advantage of
the choapuess Of child labor It is a that the
forming zeal which the New Englanders have turned
upon Is one part pure philanthropy and nine parts
business jealousy and scinterest, Southern mills
have been rivaling New England mills with compe
tltion increasing iu its keenness and effectiveness.
Nevertheless, in spite OF natural irritation at the
hypoc-ihcal meddlng of New England, which has not
the slightest right to assume the hoerthanthou att

Business competition and rivalry urged other mill
operators follow suit But that the injury re-
