AN IMPR ACTICAL SCHEME.

The plan for suppression of child
labor in Southern cotton mills pro-
posed by The Industrial Journal, of
Charlotte n commented on in The
Messenger of yesterday is made the
subject of an editorial in the last issue
OF the M~anufactuI ers' Record of Bal
timore. 1t speaks of the plan as rather
a novel proposition for the solution Of
the problem and declares the project
an attractive one, but impractical. 1t
argues that it would cause a tremen-
dous influx of families with children
into towns where this plan was adopted
children who had never worked in
factories, but who would come and
make the pretense of such work in Or
der to gain the opportunity to be
bought off therefrom. The Manufac-
turers' Record thinks were this plan
adopted, there would not be public
school accommodation sufficient for
children who would flock to the cotton
mill towns to be paid to keep out of
the factories and go to school instead.
The Record closes its article with this
advice to these interested, for the sake
of the children, IN keeping them out of
the mills:
Persons who agitate against the
labor Of children in southern mills with
no other intent than to benefit the chill
dren would do well not to seek to fur
Their a scheme raising false hopes, not
to agitate Impractical theories, out to
do their part toward a working out of
the problem on practical and natural
conditions and the needs of the indi-
viduals to be benefited. 1t is hardly
kin to the rising generation of the
south to train it to habits of looking to
a reward for no working"

CHILD LABOR IN OUR FACTORIES.

To prevent the last legislature of this
state passing a law prohibiting the en-
ployment in our cotton factories of chill
dren under a certain age, the owners of
the factories agreed with the state au-
| thorities that they would put a stop TO
the employment of children under the
mentioned in the proposed statute.
his agreement, it seems, has not been
carried out, for the question of sup
pressing child labor in our cotton mills
Is still d discussion
The Industrial Journal of Charlotte,
which is the organ in this state of the
Federation OF Labor has taken the mat
ter up and suggests a new way to put
a stop to the working in factories of
children under 10 years of age. 1t pro-
poses to pay to the parents of such chill
dren the amounts that they would earn
If put to work in the factories.
AS a rule this plan would, we think.
work very badly. There are number of
men. heads of families, who now nov
into towns where there are factories for
the purpose of putting their children to
W. r. AiC OIN-hs vi
working in the factories, put their chill
dren to work in them and spend lives of
idleness, living on the ard earned
wages of their little ones.
Were the plan of the Industrial Jour-
nal adopted it would simply add to the
number of idle. worthless men of this
class. and we would have around our
cotton mill tonHs a horde of idle vaga-
bonds who lived on the contributions of
those who worked.
AS to all other rules there are eXceL-
tons, SO there is to this. There perhaps
are in every town where there is a fac
tory one or more cases where the propo-
sition of the Industrial Journal would
be of real benefit. The case cited below
by the Raleigh Times is one in which
the proposed remedy for this evil would
work we'll and would be a real act of
charity. and this is perhaps one of a
great many such instances that could
be cited in favor of the proposition if
the conditions were thoroughly looked
into. The Times says.
Recently one of the mills here had
Two children working Under 10 years old.
The superintendent fearing they would
get hurt turned them off Then the
mother of the children went 20 the pres
ident Of the mill and begged and be-
sought him to tai them back. What
they earned kept the wolf from the
door. Her husband vas in the peniten-
tiary, she had an infant TO care for and
could not work, so these children were
supporting her. What else could the
mill do hIIt 0iun thAno nronl0yro ont .
Every one will sympathize with the
Journals urpoSe, though the scheme
does not appear very practical. and will
be hard to put into effective operation.
If it can reach such cases as the one
mentioned it will do a great service"

ROBERT n. PAGE.

After almost a continuous session of
two days and taking 1.2OS ballots, the
democratic convention of the Seventh
district nominated Robert N. Page, of
Montgomery county for congress. There
were a number of candidates in the
field n the convention was an excit-
ing one and the prize was holly contest
ed for. The Seventh district is COM
posed of the counties of Arson, David
Davie, Montgomery. Moor Randolph,
Richmond, Scotland, Union and Yadkin
"a democratic district. From the fol-
lowing sketch of Mr.. Page from The
Charlotte Observer one can be assured
Of hat district being well represented
in congress:
"AS marking the end of g, convention
which was extraordinary for the length
of it's one continuous sitting and for
the number of ballots taken, the DEM
ocrats of the Seventh district at Mon
roe yesterday afternoon nominated for
congress Mr.. Robert N. Page, of Mont
gomery. The delegates, the district and
the state are to be congratulated-the
nomination is in all respects a capital
one. The nominee is of an intellectual
and purposeful family of people. He is
a son of the late Frank Page, Esq,
and is one of five brothers-Walter H.
editor of The Worlds Work; Henry A,
Aleck and Frank. He is himself a man
Of ability, a successful man of affairs,
and to these qualities he adds an ex-

popularity az wide as his acquaintance

the people and in congress will stand
always for their best interest. Mr..
Page represented Montgomery in the
lower house of the last legislature and
is a emb of the board of directors

MIR ROBERr WINSTON ON THE
RACE QUESTION.

The current issue Of The South At
lantic Quarterly published at Trinity
college, contains an article by Robert
W. Winston, of Durham, on An I'm
considered Aspect of the Negro Cues
ton" Mr.. Winston says that the white
people Of the south, after taxing them
selves for forty years to educate the ne
gro and give him aJylums and orphan
ages are undergoing a reaction of feel
ing in this matter. in fact" he a
the average southern negro has lost to
a certain extent his southern white
friend" He places blame for this upon
the negro's increasing worth.essness as
a laborer, whether OH the farm or in
domestic positions; because he has come
to think idleness, vice and 1mpudence
stand for manhood and freedom. Mr..
Winston declares that through the ne
gro's idIeness and worthlessness az a
laborer the average southern. farm has
become unfit to Gve upon and in the
towns and cities tie housekeeperS have
even more worry and trouble from the
same cause .
The remedy for the growing hatred Of
the negro by the white man, Mr.. Win
ston places in the hands of the negro.
Let him give UP idleness, ~impudence
and vice and become industrious and
honest and strive to better his condition
and he will regain the friendship of the
whites. 1t is a gloomy picture Of thu
negro'S future that Mr. Winston draws
unless he will make UP his mind to
abandon his present evil habits. AS TO
the possibilities of the negro as a law
abiding industrious race Mr. Winston
says:
Now, there are those VINO believe
hat when the negro becomes educated
and wealthy he will Command such re-
Spect Is to win social place among his
white neighbors. and there are others
who think that the negro is a beast and
should, like the beast be fec and re-
strained. Are net both In error And
If both are in error, where is the safe
way between these extremes? What is
the limit of the advancement Of the
| negro in wealth. in education, IA NOR
ais? 1t has no limit If he will 10Y
and at once but heed the voice OF
| friendship and proceed to do his duty
in that state of life in which it has
pleased God to call him, he will have
| friends by the million, and the extrem-
lists dare not touch a hair OF his head.
The negro can do his duty and he will
do it. I voice but the g. ue sentiment of
the south when I wish fer the negro all
things good and useful. short Of social
equality. May wealth and virtue and
contentment be his for -ver."
Mr.. Winston, we think, goes to an ex-
treme on both sides of the picture he
draws. We cannot agree with him In
his declaration OF the great hatred that
is rapidly growing among the white
people against the negro. Did this feel

ing exist to the extent declared there
would be almost daily disorders and
deadly conflicts between the two races.
While there Is a growing sentiment
against the continued paying OF taxes
by the whites to educate negro children,
we do not think there IS that animosity
against the negro as 4 race. On the
contrary, we think the feeling is friend
ly and becoming more so as the negro
gives up politics. 1t is not a a citizen

probably in some personal instances and
perhaps to certain entire communities,
