THE CHILD LABOR FIGHT.

The fight for child labor law in
Mississippi is attracting considerable
attention beyond the borders Of the
State. Appropo of the fight that is
now being made in Mississippi for the
enactment of a child labor law, the
News has received the following,
which is of interest:
Atlanta, Ca, June Is, 1907.
Editor Daily News: The legislature
of Florida, which recently adjourned
enacted good child labor law. This
is an item of interest in itself, but it
should be especially interesting to the
good people of Mississippi because the
action Of the Florida Legislature leaves
Mississippi alone, of the Southern
States without a child labor law, and
Mississippi and Nevada alone among
the. States of the Union, might say
among the communities of the civil
lied world without legal protection OF
the toiling children. AS the Southern
secretary of the national child labor
committee have been asked to aid
in the campaign of education concern
ing this important subject and ] Shall
be glad to hear from those who are
interested in the passage of a child la
bro law at the next meeting of the
Legislature | would suggest also that
the candidates for the legislature be
asked by the friends of the measure

Mississippi will not long remain UNI
der this cloud. Unless all signs of
the times are at fault, the next legis-
lature is going to pass a child labor
law that will be effective and all that
could be desired by the friends of
such measure. In a large number
of counties strong candidates for the
Legislature have come out in favor
of the passage Of such a law. A vast
majority of the press of the State has
arrayed itself on the side of the right
The friends of the children should ask
all the candidates for the legislature
how they stand on this great ques
ton. Let thoss candidates who have
not expressed themselves come for
ward and say how they stand on the
question. Anything that is worth
having is worth fighting for and fight
| ing hard for. There is great deal Of
hope in the Mississippi situation, but
every friend Of child labor Law
should be up and doing. Jackson

Municipal Crowth.

Just to show how Vicksburg and
Natchez are growing, we will say that,
according to the figures compiled at
the Census Office, Vicksburg gained
in population from 1900 to June l,
1906, measly S76 while in the same
. period the population of Natchez in
lcreased to the tune Of 1866 These
figures make Vicksburg tied to the
pole and Natchez running away with
the race for the Progressive Stakes
Natchez Democrat.
The census of 1900 gave Hattieburg
something less than 1880 population.
The local census of 1906 showed 21,-
z 125 or a net gain of 1S,625 in six years.
+ 1t is estimated that the present popu-
lation of Hattiesburg is at least $4,000,
or approximately 10000 more than
twas accorded the place by the last
Movement report.
To the Hattiesburg citizen who has
Witnessed the marvellous transforma-
ti0n of an overgrown village of 4,500
population into a thriving, hustling
city of $4,000 in less than seven years,
the friendly sallies of the newspapers
of Natchez and Vicksburg are some
what amusing.
Yet Hattiesburg is not the least Bit
(envious Natchez and Vicksburg are
both good cities, and all good Missis
sippians are proud of them.
