The Nashville Graphic is easily one of
the best weekly papers published in
North Carolina. It's two column account
of Nash Superior Court this week is the
best and most interesting court story we
have ever seen in North Carolina pa

as dust. The Graphic's story had life in
it and was so we'll written that you could
almost hear the judge charging the jury
and see the proceedings.

Shorter hours for factory operatives
were secured. and children under II years
of age prohibited from working in rae
tories.
This is as it should be-but we con-
slider the hours yet too long for chill
dren, and certainly the age is very ten
der at twelve. 1t is a pity that law
is not enacted to compel more of the
lazy. trihing fathers to support their
children, while the children shoul be
forced to attend school,. The boys and
girls of today will be the men and wo-
men of the future, and we should sec
to it that they should have the training
necessary for good citizenship. Yet or
ganized labor in this State should con-
graduate itself on this recognition, when
we look at the fact that other Southern
States have failed to enact any law Oh
