Editor The Advertiser.
 The agitation of the question of child labor has been engaging the attention of the press and the public throughout the State. The history Of the movement however. in the light of past legislation, has not been touched upon; and this may prove of interest
 During the session of the Legislature of which was as follows: TO prevent the compelling of women and children, or the permitting of children under fourteen years of age, to labor in mechanical or manufacturing business more than eignt hours in any day" The act was ap- proved on the 18th day of February 1887 (see Acts of Alabama, 1SS6-SO, and imposed penalty of not more than $50 for violation. During the session of the Legislature 1s94-95, bill was introduced in the Senate by MT. Miner (by requesU to repeal said act. 50 far as the same relates to Etowah County: The bill pur- sued the usual course; 1t was referred to the Committee on Local Legislation; reported favorably by said committee was taken up and on motion of MT Milner, the bill and title thereof were amended by striking out 50 far as the same relates to Etowah County" was read a third time and passed. (See Senate Journal ls94-95, pp. 62, loo. l23' 2l4, zo 257)
 Now Etowah County is the county in which the Alabama City Mills are located,
 
 Manufacturing Company of Boston. Mass Here we see that the humane legislation which Alabama once had was repealed for the benefit and probably at the in stance of a New England corporation. and yet the treasurer of this very cor poration has complained that the child labor agitation Is due to outside inter- ference!
 New England claims the right to secure the repeal of laws protecting our own woman and children. yet when our own people try to secure avs which will pro, tect the children '" from the nara conditions of factorv New England raises the cry of "oG.s lterference! o, New England is so jealous of the rights of the South! She wants our laws modified to suit the demands of her in- vestors. yet when we seek to modify our laws so as to secure the rights of our children, men are set to work to clrcu- late the suspicion that our efforts at re- form are due to Eastern influences.
 But for the repeal of the above law, done apparently in the interest of Eto- wah County but really in the interest or the Dwight Manufacturing Company Of Boston. we should not now see our chil- dren under 12 working in some Of our mills for thirteen and fourteen hours day-as the writer has seen within the past two weeks.

THE CHATTANOOGA TRADES
 MAN AND CHILD LABOR.

Some of the papers of the South have given a good deal of space to the results of an Investigation of Southern child labor conditions conducted by The Chat tanooga Tradesman. The local value of this investigation is indicated by the fact that The Tradesman reported from Mont gomery only six children under 12 in our local factories-all these the children of poor "widows!'
 Those who are familiar with conditions here will have occasion to smile at that report, although our factories are not worse than those in many other sections of the State.
 But we are glad to say that The Trades man has never been opposed, as some have declared to a reasonable child la bor law. This is indicated by a strong editorial approving the law that has been offered in Georgia. This law is similar in most of its provisions to the measure suggested in Alabama. We take pleasure in reprinting in full on this page the edl- torial from The Tradesman to which we have referred. We understand that cer- tain features of the Georgia measure may be incorporated in the bill to be proposed in Alabama, though the essential provis- ions of the two bills are already the same.

INDIAN THANKSGIVING.

I'M. Burlington, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, when he issued his Thanksgiving proclamation began 1t this way:
 Let us again commemorate the custom of our forefathers. which prevailed since time immemorial, and adopted by the brating day devoted to festivity and praise for the goodness of the Great Spir- it. after the joys and sorrows Of another year, and harvests have been gathered.
 Some may be disposed to think the Chief has assumed overmuch when he claims for his people precedence in giving thanks once a year but he is really correct The Green corn dance'' of the Indians which was annually celebrated when the corn was ready for food, was the occasion Of a much more ceremonious rejoicing than is usual among the whites on Thanks giving Day. It was the Indians manner of showing their gratitude to the Great Spirit for the blessings of their native grain and they made it one of the great est and most memorable of their annual ceremonies. To them the season of ma turing corn was an evidence that the Great Spirit whom they reverenced had not forgotten them, and they showed their thankfulness by feasting and re- joicing so that all might see that they were grateful. And we may say that their simple gratitude was more real and heart felt than can be claimed for some of their white successors. Chief Burlington has grounds for his claim to precedence for his race.

LEARNING TO SPELL.

Recently The Philadelphia Enquirer had dissertation on the subject of spelling in which it compares the orthography of three or four centuries ago with that of the present day. Many eccentricities continue" the paper adds, but stan dard has been set up and a near ap- proach to uniformity has been achieved. Spelling is about to take its place among the exact arts. It is about to become a test of mental status. It must not. however, be supposed that the practice of the great writers affords a trustworthy guide to the prevailing level of attain msnt. It does not. Neither in the was an inability to spell correctly re- garded as at all discreditable. In the private letters which have come down to us by persons holding high position in the social scale misspelled words occur with an amusing and significant fre- quency. Correct spelling had not yet be- come an indispensable feature of a polite education.'
 We freely admit that great changes have taken place in spelling and writing the English language since the days of Chaucer, Haywood and their contempo- raries, but we are far from admitting that we now have anything approaching Q perfect or satisfactory system. We fully agree with The Enquirer that many eccentricities still exist" and the discour- ssing feature is that no effort is made to rid our language of them. Some of our spelling is so absurd that the wonder is that we should cling to it, yet we know that all efforts to simplify and make our orthography consistent have so far failed. We certainly deny that near approach tS uniformity has been achiev- ed," unless it is uniformly eccentric.
 Nor is our contemporary quite correct In the intimation conveyed in the last sentence quoted, that correct spelling has become "an indispensable feature of a polite education" One has but to read the newspapers, and note the many cases where applicants for entrance into col leges and universities fail because they cannot spell correctly to see that not as much attention is given to teaching chil- dren how to spell as should be. Even our incongruous and illogical system of or biography should receive more attention than it does. If we intend to adhere to it we should insist that it be learned at school and that those who go out into the world as educated men and women should know how to spell. They lack very much of it at present.

THE HON. T. GoBBLER.

The big turkey gobbler that becomes I famous by being killed for the White
 House Thanksgiving dinner is receiving
 more space in the newspapers than has
 automobile this year, or at any time
 since the "anto's' first victim furnished
 forth material for an illustrated funeral. We are informed in the utmost detail
 concerning this truly famous. not to say | illustrious gobbler, the main points of which are that 1t was bred in old Rhode | Island. where the average man has about as little chance as turkey to vote the Democratic ticket; that Its breeder was one Horace Vase of Westerly, for twenty five years turkey-breeder in ordinary to the court of the White House. and that after MT. Vose had in person carefully slaughtered and dressed it, the said gob- bled did weight two and thirty pounds on trust-made scales. Who disputes that weight?
 Two Alabama boys, always called at home Sam and Bob, made their first ap- pearance at school one autumnal morning. The teacher called up Sam, the elder, and asked his name.
 Samuel. mam," was the answer. "whoo- -oo-oop! what e lie Sam did tell he knows Is names Sam, jest Sam, !" cried Bob; whereupon Bob's ears were boxed and he was commanded to tell his own name. In alarm he answered, "Bobuel."
 The White House gobbier stands at surely getting along mighty rapidly to- ward royal sycophancy, when columns and columns of type are devoted to the ancestry birth and breeding of a Rhode Island turkey served at MT. Roosevelt's Thanksgiving dinner, and when other columns of type in specials" are given over to solitary.

He thinks there will be practically no danger, however, in admitting them in groups under con- tract, with their employers under bonds to keep them employed in the way specified in the contract; to feed, house and care for them properly; to see that they do not desert and enter other lines of trade and return them to their own country when their task is done.
