From the Morgantown Chronicle.
A law passed by the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature regulating

that this is becoming manufac.
turing city, and considerable part
of the work here can be done oy
children. The law seeks to protect
youth OF tender age, and to make
it possible for them to attend school.
All admit that too much work for
small children is not best but some
times the law is needed to protect
those who would otherwise be with
out protection. The text Of the act
as it passed the Legislature is as
Iollcws;
l.. No minor, male or female,
under the age of fourteen years,
shall be employed for wages other
wise in any mine, factoryy workshop

lishment where goods or wares are
made or sold, during the free school
term Of the district in which such
child resides. And in ali cases of
minors applying for work it shall be
the duty Of the manager, superin-
tendent, foreman, or operator, to
see that the provisions Of this sec
ton are complied with.
2. Any manager superintendent,
foreman or operator in any mine,
factory, workshop, mercantile or
manufacturing establishment and
parents or guardians allowing a
child under fourteen years Of age
to work in violation Of section one
Of this act, shall be deemed guilty
Of misdeameanor and upon c)nvic-
ton thereof shall be fined not less
than ten dollars nor more than
twenty dollars for each and every
ofcnsc.

commissioner OF labor to enforce
The provisions Of this act, and to

before any magistrate or court Of

tions Of this act shall be paid into

they realized the blessed assurance
of their acceptance with God. There
were twelve conversions, which were

Mr.. P0Sy Martin.

After many weeks of lingering i'll
ness, Mr.. Posey Martin quietly passed
away at his home near Belden. While
the end was apparently near, yet the
death of beloved member of large
family brought sadness to the hearts
of every one who knew him. Deceas-
ed had resided in Lee county for a
number of years and nu mbered every
body as his friend.
He was an active member of the
Baptist church and in his life's con-
duct adhered strictly to its tenets and
teachings. He was good citizen
and participated actively in all the
affairs that concerned the welfare of
his community. He was man of
deep feeling, wonderfully sympathetic
with his fellow men, and was gener-
Gus to fault Mr.. Martin in his pri-
vate life was true and devoted hus-
band, kind and loving father, warm
hearted friend and an honorable, ac-
tive citizen. He will be greatly missed and
his place in the community cannot be
supplied. He leaves behind him sever
al children to mourn his loss, his wife
having preceded him to the grave by
more than year. To the loved ones
he las left behind him the loss is ire
pacable and cannot be filled. The
hone is desolate without him and the
hearts within are filled with irrecon-
cilaole grief May He who gave and
haa taken away keep and guide
the in the way that leads to that
peaceful rest which he has found.
The interment took place at the
Maxey cemetery, near Chesterville,
large concourse Of Borrowing relatives
tives and friends being in attendance
to witness the last sad rites.

To Escape Drud9ery.

The Carolina Fruit and truck
Growers Journal has given. the
following recipe for taking the
drudgery out Of ones occupation:
Respect it.
Take pleasure in it.
Never feel above it.
Put your heart in it.
See the poetry in it.
Work with purpose.
Do it with your might.
Go to the bottom of it.
Do one thing at a time.
Be larger than your task.
Prepare for it thoroughly.
Mark it a means of character
building.
Do it cheerfully, even if it is
not congenial.
Do it in the spirit of an artist,
not an artisan.
Make a stepping-stone to some
thing higher.
Endeavor to do it better than
it has ever been done before.
Make perfection your aim and
be satisfied with nothing less.
Do not try to do it with part of
Yourself, the weaker part.
Keep your self in condition to
do it as well as it can be done.
Regard yourself as a co-worker
with the creator Of the universe.
Believe in it's worth and dignity
no matter low humble it may be.
Recognize that work is the
thing that dignifies and ennobles
life.
Accept the disagreeable part
of it as cheerfully as the agreeable
Choose, if possible, the voca-
ton for which nature has fitted
you.
See how much you can put into
it, instead of how much you can
take out of it.
Remember that it is only
through your work that you can
grow to your full height.
Train the eye, the ear, the
hands, the mind, all the faculties
in the faithful doing of it.
Remember that work we'll done
is the highest testimonial of
character you can receive.
Use it as a tool to develope the
strong points of your character
and to eliminate the weak ones.
Remember that every vocation
has some advantages not found in
any other.
Regard it as a sacred task Civ
en- you to make you a better cit
izen and to help the world along.

Destroying the mosquito seems
to be effective in eradicating vel
low fever and gives color to the
theory that the mosquito is the
chief means Of transmitting the
disease. The use Of screens, oil
and sulphur has been proven to
be very effective in abatine
the disease in New Orleans
and infected points. Those who
hold to mosquito theory have
gained much in the present
fight for their contention.

R. ". Sinclair.

On last Sunday night at about
II o'clock the spirit Of Mr.. r. w.
Sinclair passed quietly away at
his home in this city. His illness,
paralasys, was of short duration,
lasting only two or three days.
From the time he was first struck
until his death he was entirely
speechless. He bore his suffering
with the same fortitude and res
ignation that had characterized
him through life, always placing
his reliance upon God, his guide
and protector, his strength and
comforter, his counsellor, his all,
the author and finisher Of his
salvation.
For a number of years he was
identified with the Methodist
church and adhered strictly to
it's tenets and teachings, always
proving his faith by his works
He lived in such a manner that
when he came to face that vast
unknown, called Eternity, he
could say with the Apostle Paul,
Il have fought a good fight,
have kept the faith, / have fin
ished my course. Henceforth
there is laid up for me in heaven
a crown of righteousness. /" He
did not fear death, because he
realized that it meant nothing
but release from the sufferings,
tolls and privations of this life
and a triumphant entrance into
the unalloyed joys and pleasures
of that celestial home above.
He was a man of social dispo.
sition whom to know was to love.
To the sorrowing relatives an6
friends we would say, Grievt
not for him but be comforted by
the thought that he is now bask.
ing in the sunlight of Gods pre-
cious love.

While the quarantine is a
little movement it is neces-

guards for the protection OF
health and property. A single
case in a town would cost many
thousands of dollars if no lives
were lost from it. An ounce OF
prevention is worth a pound OF
