The work the children perform in the
mills is not heavy. They are treated we'll
by the men who own the mills. The de-
mand for child labor law does not rest
upon any indictment of mill men, but
upon the fundamental principle that the
seed corn should not be ground into meal.
Young children have right to live much
in the air and the sunchine. 1t is neces-
sary for their full development, it is
be st for the future welfare of the men
and women of the State, as we'll as Tor
the States highest industrial progress
and prosperity.
The law ought to apply to all industries
where children are employed indoors; to
none where they live much in the sun
shine and breath the free air that gives
them strength. That is the principle
that ought to govern all legislation along
this line.-Editor

Child Labor,

To the Editor: There is a remedy for
every evil, if properly applied. If we had
stringent law, as outlined in the Lon
don bill, We would hear no more about
child labor. Who feeds young children in
factories? Drunken fathers and widows
made paupers by husbands that prema-
turely filled drunkards' graves. in nine
teen cases out of twenty To prove this,
send some one to investigate and get the
facts from the pay-rolls of any cotton
factory. A drunken father who by laying
around government and blockade stills,
makes mortgage on his house to get
rations, fails to make crop, spends his
means and time in dissipation. Sooner or
later mortgage forecloses. He and fam
lily has home, applies to some super
intendent of a cotton factory, stating that
he has two or three children old enough
to work in the factory He is furnished
with a house, and supplies for his family.
The children come with dirty half clad
pals, tallow faced looking like they had
not enjoyed good wholesome meal in
their lives. One or two of them, look
to be about 10 or IL years but the worth
less drone of a father says they arc all
over II years. Now here is what factory
men have to contend with very often,
Who should be punished for this state of
affairs? The drungen lying father or the
factory man who houses, feeds and clothes
the poor mother and children, or such a
brute-seven out of ten of the legal vot-
ers of our State would say at least re-
move the liquor from the reach of such
a father. Now if the General Assembly
really want to better the condition of the
poor mothers and their children that are
forced to work in factories or some where
to support themselves and a drunken
father, pass a stringent law, to prevent
so much dealing and shipping into pro-
hibited territory-mean while, first re-N
move the cause and the patents will be
few and far between.

Legislature, but it will be Il weak affair
from the viewpoint of the temperance
advocates and will be one which will not
cripple the liquor business to any great
extent There are some men in the Leg
isIature who will unfinchingly stand for
temperance legislation, but the majority
OF them will fight shy of anything which
curtails the liquor evil. That is not
an optimistic view of the matter, but it
is simply size-up of the present law
making body of our State. The advocates
of temperance are in the majority, but
when it comes to the test and an anti
liquor bill comes up in the Legislature
YOU will see that the distillers and the
liouor dealers, with their money and
their influence, will be in the saddle.

ADVOCACY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

North Carolina Christian Advocate
We are glad to note that Mr.. Josephus
Daniels, editor of the News and Obser-
yer, has thrown all the strength ana
force of that paper into the fight against
the saloons. He is standing side by side
with Mr.. Bailey. The public will not
forget this, and the News and Observer
will make quite as many friends as 1t
loses, and will greatly improve the quail
ity of its constituency, if it does not
increase the quantity. Happily, there is
little to lose in North Carolina by fear
less advocacy of righteousness and truth.

The battle between the adocates of

Legislature will pass some kind of a

have no high hopes that the present Leg

which will amount to very much. The

makers ever since the Legislature con-
vened praying for laws that will restrict
the manufacture and sale of liquor in
the State, and on the other hand the Ii
quor makers and dealers have lined up
with money and influence and have made
demands for no anti-liquor leglslati

ageously speaks it's mind on the liquor
question. We believe that it is right in
it's contention that the Democrats who
are predicting ruination for the Demo-
cratic party if it moves for reform in
the liquor traffic could be engaged in bet
ter business. If the time is ripe for a
step forward in this matter, the Demo-
cratic party is the party to see that that
step is taken. If it does not do so, it will
be derelict in its duty and it will lose
the respect of the thousands Of voters
who are stirred up this year on the liq-
uor question more than ever before.

FINE FINANCIAL SHOWING.
Bank of Wayne Declares Five Per Cent Semi
Annual Dividend
(Goldsboro Argus.)

Elsewhere in this issue we publish the
statement of the Bank of Wayne, the
directors of which have just declared
semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent, and
in mailing the dividend checks to the
stock holders. the cashier, Mr. Walter
F. Borden has sent them the following
letter, which we have been permitted
by one of them, to publish and which
breathes of the patriotism, appreciation
and conservatism that have ever charac-
terized the administration of this splen-
did financial institution, that through all
the years of its history has been the I'M
failing hulwark of Goldsboros progress
and is the pride of our town:
Eat the close of it's fiscal year, on Jam
uary 31st, we find that your bank has
earned during the past six months some
thing more than twelve thousand five
hundred dollars, or an equivalent of
more than twenty per cent. per annum
upon it's capital stock. The deposits of
your bank have more than doubled dur
ing the past five years, and its total as
sets today stand at three quarters of a
million dollars.
These conditions have been brought
about by an earnest effort on our part
to build up this community and to meet
every reasonable demand of the public.
We endeavor to make a friend of every
depositor and to make his account on
our books of value to him as we'll as to
ourselves. With the showing made as
above stated. your directors thought
it not unwise to pay to you a semi-an-
nual dividend of five per cent.
Il take much pleasure in handing to
YOU herewith our check to cover same.
Yours very truly.
w. E. BORDEN,
Cashier.
There is nothing we can add to this
letter, except that, coming, as it does,
as an official statement Of the bank, it
sustains what the Argus has, from time
to time, of it's own knowledge. had to say
in reference to the Bank of Wayne.

of this bank on February l, 1898, five
years ago, adverted to in the above let
ter, and comparing it with the state
ment in this ISSUE we find in that state
ment QS9S) the surplus was $4,000, the
undivided profits $S,0S1.S7, and the de-
posts $242 $3.50, and the round totals
$3.50, 1895.
Our readers can make their own com
parsons between the two statements and
measure the progress achieved within
the intervening five years, and from this
realize the steady growth of Goldsboro
as a city. In fact, we doubt if any other
bank in the country can show such rec
ord All of which goes to yet further
sustain the claim of the Argus that we've
got the best town in the State.

THE ANTI-JUG LAW.

Lumberton Robcsonian.
The passage of the Hepburn bill in
the lower house of Congress is the ma
uonalization of the jug law. Should g,
pass the Senate, and it is presumed it
will, jugs cannot then be shipped into
prohibition territory. If we can secure
the enactment of the jug law in this
State, we have the liquor traffic just
where we want it.

TIME TO ACT NOW.

Mount Airy News.
The present Legislature has an oppor-
tunity to do something for the State
that will count in more ways than one
for all time to come. The doing away
with the liquor distillery and the sa-
loon and blind tiger will render life
worth living in all parts of North Caro-
lima OF course the jails would nearly
ell stand empty and many of the keep
crs would be compelled Ito carry side
lines" but that would pan out all right
the jailers would soon get used to it,
Then, again, North Carolina would lose
some of her citizens-those who just
can't give up the liquor making and
selling business. But there are only
few of this class-the majority would
engage in something better. We hope
the Legislature will prove equal to the
semergcncv and give us State prohibition
wipe out the whole liquor business
root the whole liquor business, root and
branch. If you want to get rid of Hitter
acy, crime, paupers and the other evils
that abound where liquor is sold by law
or illegally, the first thing to do is to
pass the right kind of prohibition laws
and then see to it that the law is en-
foced TO the very letter. The devil has
been running at large in North Caro-
lima long enough. 1t is time now to at
tend to his case. We hope the members
of the Legislature will not allow the
lawyers sent to Raleigh by liquor men
at Wilkesboro and other places inter
fere with the passage of prohibition
law that will prohibit. May the Creator
of us all bless every effort that is made
for the uplifting of the youth of North
Carolina during the present session of
the General Assembly.
