The TOrrenS system Again.

We are still hearing from readers
who are anxious to have North Caro-
lima adopt the Torrens System of reg
istering land titles, n of our latest
letters being Mr.. John Mcdowell, OF
Mecklenburg. who writes:
We are interested in the Torrens
System and would like to know where
a copy of it could be had. We want
our representatives in the legislature
pledged to its support
In answer to this request, We will
say that the Torrens System is now in
force in a number of states, but the
details differ. Legislators who may
be interested can get a copy of the pro-
posed Virginia statute by addressing
Hon. Eugene c. Massie, Richmond:
We regret that it is too long to publish
in The Progressive Farmer. The thing
to do is TO pledge your candidate TO The
TOrrens idea the exact details can he
worked out later.-Progressive Farmer.

VALIDITY OF CHILD LABOR LAWS

Now the question is how far will the
New York courts carry their decisions
against laws regulating the labor Of
women and children IN factories? =
it is unconstitutional for the legisla-
ture TO say thai a woman sEal not
work more than so many hours a week
IN a mill is il not also in violation Of.
guaranteed rights under the cons-i-u-
ton for it TO say how old a person
must be before he or she can dc such
work? Has the law making power any
more right 10 say at what age a person
can begin work in a factory than it
has TO prescribe such rules for labor
on the farm or in the houshold:
These are questions which are likely to
arise should the New York court OF ap-
peals sustains the decision Of the lower
court declaring the law unconstitution-
al which prohibits women working
more than ten hours a day or sixty a
week in factories. Men on both sides
of the labor question will watch with
great interest the curse Of this case
through the courts of New York. If
the lower court is sustained cases in
volving these questions may be insti-
tuted in the courts of other statss.

We are sorry that Colonel Bragaw,
of the Second regiment, during the re-
cent encampment ~pursuaded the Off
GERS of that regiment To abandon their
proposed communication to the war
department on the condition of the
equipment and pay for the full
ten days Of that regiment. II our
information is correct, and we have it
from such a source that We cannot
doubt it, there are matters connected
with the state guard which should be
thoroughly investigated. Is Governor
Glenn going to let matters continue as
they are or will he order an investiga-
ton?

The other side Of the question of
child labor in mills is given by Miss
Gertrude Beeks, Of the National Civic
Federation, of lew York, in her article
on facts about social conditions in
southern mill towns. We are afraid,
however, she goes as far to the one
extreme on this subject as do some who
are conducting the crusade against
present conditions. She makes this
statement:
For the present the cotton mills are
Industrial training schools as we'll as
refugees for the unfOrtuDites. Toe
much praise cannot be given to the
mill wner who, in spite of the unfair
criticism which has been made, are
not only giving food and shelter and an
industrial training to the illiterate de-
scendants of the first inhabitants OF
the colonies. but, through their well
fare work. are a great civilizing inf1u-
ence and are steadily raising the stand
ard Of citizenship.
We feel sure there has been much
unfair criticism of the mill owners of
the south; but we cannot accept Miss
Beek's idea that they are the great
philanthropists she portrays them, nor
do we think they wish to claim any
such credit to themselves. There is
much truth, though, in what she says
about the cotton mills being Industrial
training schools as we'll as refugees for
the unfOrtunates.

Now York Central Wreck on Banks
 of Hudson Near Chelsea.
 POUGHKEEPSIE. N. r., July 30.- Plunging at high speed into land slide shaken from the high banks be- side the New York Central tracks near Chelsea. eleven miles south of this city, the Pacific express from New York was derailed. its engine driver and fire man killed, many of the cars strewn along the river bank on their sides and several passengers seriously injured.
 That the locomotive and some of the cars did not rush into the Hudson, which is only few yards from the tracks, was due to their turning over before reaching the water. The many sleeping cars were at the rear of the train, and. although their occupants were pitched and tossed about, the cars remained on the rails and no one was dangerously injured in them.
 The scene of the wreck is midway be. tween Chelsea and Fishkill Landing.

Enjoyed Trip Abroad and Had Most Complete Rest of His Life at Com- piegnc, Near Paris-Left For
 Cleveland This Morning.

NACVGA8M0 AAAD
 NEW YORK, July 30.-John D. Rockefeller returned from Europe on the Hamburg-A line steamship Amerika
 Mir. Rockefeller was in good health and spirits. apparently not in the least worried by the fact that he must sub init to examination as to the workings of the Standard Oil company in the probate court in Findlay, O., on Sept 4.
 The Amerika reached quarantine shortly after 10 o'clock and steamed slowly up the North river. MT. Rocke- feller stood on the main deck and seemed delighted to gaze once more upon the shores of his native land The short respite he has enjoyed from process servers and business cares since his soJourn abroad evidently agreed with him, for he has gained several pounds in weight and his ap- petite has greatly improved.
 During the passage over Mir. Rocke- feller did not mingle with the other passengers to any extent. but he Joked and talked with some of them, includ- ing one or two of the steerage passen- gers. He played shufieboard with Reginald Vanderbilt.
 It was generally understood among the passengers that MT. Rockefeller had arranged through his attorneys to appear personally at the trial on Sept. 4.
 He declared that he had enjoyed his trip very much when a number of re- porters boarded the steamship at quar- antine anI said that at Compiegne he had had the most complete rest of his life.
 He says he was interviewed and snapshotted good deal by the French reporters, but he took that as mat ter of course and didn't mind 1t.
 John D. Rockefeller, accompanied by his wife and John D. Rockefeller, IT,, attended church at Tarrytown yester- day morning, as is the custom when staying at the Pocantico Hills estate. MT. Rockefeller left for Cleveland this morning.
