There are two good comedians in the

Child Labor in Cotton Mills.

To the Editor: 1t strikes me that there
is great deal being said in regard to
child labor in cotton mills by people that
don't know anything about it. | am sure
that no child should be employed in cot
ton mills or factories under the age of
twelve years. while there is school in
reach of them. but when school is out l
think all boys over ten Years OF age
should be put to work. | don't think
girls under twelve should be employed
at any time under any circumstances, but
/ think you had better let your boys
work anywhere than have them on the
streets from morn till night smoking CT
garettes and swearing, etc, and / wish
to say right here. in my judgment the
cigarette is making more pale faced
puny boys than all the labor they do in
cotton mills. | have worked in cotton
mills all my life since ! was eight years
old, except what time | was in school
My parents would stop me and put ne in
school each year as much as four months,
but the other eight months I had to
work and l thank them for it. You are
not apt to hurt boy working him, but
are more apt to hurt yourself getting
him to work. My opinion is that the
mill owners can adjust the labor ques-
ton much better than people that don't
understand the situation. And in my
candid opinion, a man can manage his
own business much better than some one
that is not familiar with both sides of
the question. Cotton mill people are the
happest people we have in our midst.
They make good wages, more than the
average farmer, they are paid off regu-
larry and a great many of them own
their own homes, and the mill child, as a
rule. is as stout as the uptown or the
farm child. However, | don't want it
understood that | am in favor of chill
dren being employed under twelve years
of age except as above stated. The mill
owners don't want them for they are the
most expensive help that is employed in
the mill. / don't think that the State
need get alarmed about the condition of
the child labor in North Carolina, when
if they will stop and think for a moment
and consider that the best and noblest
men of North Carolina are the men that
are at the head of the great cotton mill
industry. They will take care of the
children.

CONSIDER.
(Wilson Times.)

Why is the manufacture and sale of
liquors taxed?
Ii is admitted by all candid, honest
men that drunkenness is an eyil--a curse
to mankind-a cause of much crime, bit
never of any good.
Why are men taxed for crimes? Two
men fight One or both are wrong, and
are fined Why? The fine they pay is
SCI ewhat of a compensation, but an in
adequate one, for the wrong done.
Men are not taxed for eating food.
That is needful. Men sell clothing. food.
etc, which is an advantage to the public.
But intoxicating drinks are permitted
to be made and used under a license
What right has the State to tax man
who manufactures such things? The
State does not issue license to men to
cultivate farms, or pursue other kinds
Of business. Whoever heard OF man
buying a license to cultivate farm
Why then does the State require a man
to purchase a permission to manufac-
tire or sell intoxcants? Why do not
The liquor men cry out against that?
Ii the State say that only ten men In
town of 1000 shall open bar-rooms,
cannot the State limit that number to
two? to one? to none? Is it necessary to
have liquor for the good of town?
The more LIQUOR a man drinks the more
worthless he is. Even a drunkard would
prefer sober man to attend to his bust
ness
Then why sell liquor to encourage
drunkenness? If there was no liquor
drunk would there be any drunkafds?
Why Go liquor men oppose every meas
ure that lessons the use of liquor? The
cry against dispensaries is that they IN"
crease drunkenness-tha they lessen
taxes, etc. We would be glad to lessen
taxes or revenues, if we could diminish
drunkenness. Sobriety is worth more
than money.
To watch the objection made to dis
pensaries is to see the fallacious pleas
drinking men offer for this traffle-this
vice
We never expect to see drunkenness
eradicated from this world There Is no
place but heaven that drunkard cannot
enter, but we do hold it to be an urgent
duty and a privilege to enter our voices
in behalf of socriety for the sake of
public decency, the good of society, the
protection of women and children, the
betterment of every man, wcmen and
child in the country. yes, even to t6A
betterment of dumb beasts.

TOE RIVER BRIDGE.
Senator Griffth's bill directing the
commissioners of Mitchell couRty to levy
special tax to build bridge over Zoe

Mr.. Bowman offered an amendment
authorizing the commissioners instead of
directing them to build the bridge.
Mr.. NeWland opposed the amendment
Mr.. Bowman declared that many citi
zens were willing to subscribe for the
bridge, those it would benefit most, and
he did not want all the people taxed
when it was likely that those especially
benefited would pay for large part of
it,
Mr.. Newland claimed that the bridge
was a necessity, not only for Mitchell

Mr. Ray said that the Yancey people
