CHILDREN LEAVING
MILL FOR SCHOOL
More Than 800 Homes In Bib
County Effected
az THE CHILD LABOR LAW
Mill Owners Instruct superintendents
to Obey the Law In Its stre;es:
Form-Enouoh Children for large
School In One District.

Macon, Ga, Feb. 5.-More taa1
500 homes Ia Bibb county have been
affected by the child labor law since
Il began operation Jan. /, this year,
and as a result several hundred chill
dren who have heretofore earned q
living for themselves and the other
members o; the family, are now ea-
io,iug the school privileges provided.
In his community mill owners have
given instructions 10 their superin.
tendents To observe the laS in the
strictcst form regarding the employ
ment OF children. That they have
determined not 20 violate the law and
undertake operation Of machinery In
the mills by children who should be
in the schools is everywhere appaT-
emit.
In the Willingham cotton mill dis
trict there are enough children for
large school who are awaiting the
erection of fine building promised by
c. b. Willingham. He has asked
that the Bbb system employ the
teachers. and this course may be fol-
lowed as soon as the opportunity TO
act upon the proposition Is afforded.
In the other mill districts such steps
have been taken as will assure the
children the school privileges.
The investigator finds a wonderful
~ strong inclination among the mill
owners not 10 allow the parents Of
children, to violate the child labor
law. Numbers Of men who own inter-
esis In the mills are among the lead
ing educators and some are members
of the board OF education. The fact

such excellent condition is more aus

have taken in the schools than 10 any
other cause and the new law seems
universally 70 have been taken with
good faith and a determination 70
see that the children have the peas

Superintendent c. p. Chapman. OF
the system of schools, Is apprisea
OF the efforts OF the prominent meo

taken advantage OF the instructions
to mill superintendent not to allow
children under the limit of the law "a
work In the mills. He Is watching
the effect OF the law In the system
with a view OF getting yet iargel
numbers OF the children in the NIL
districts into the schools.

Couldn't Be scooped.

From the Kansas City Journal
The editor of the BIuejacket News re-
Gently married. There was no one in the
office to write the story. Something
had to be done. and apparently no one
was on hand to do 1t. Howell-for that
happens to be his name-didn't like the
idea of being scooped on a society event
in which the editor had been the most
interested party. So he did it like this:
Writing up our own marriage announce
ment is a serious proposition, and one we
would gladly pass over as the consolina
effects of our wife is not to be measured
by words and sentences, but by bumps
and bruises. We will be glad to admit
that it is all accomplished under the
guise of love, because our newly made
wife is kind and affectionate. She has
been the mellow sun rays of our past
existence, and now since we have an
chored ourselves together in order 20
spend our terrestrial days. she shines out
more brilliant than ever. 1t was Thanks
giving day, 1906. which caused the editor.
C. j. Howell to be thankful by being
united in marriage to Miss Buelah Upton
of WEIGH. whom, we believe, is about the
most perfect unwinged creature this side
of the pearly gates.

The same thing was said about the $40

The Trinity mine was one of Lawson's
failures. In the prospectus of the company
issued six years ago Lawson predicted
that from August, 1901, the net earnings
of the company would be at least two or
three million dollars yearly. and that by
that date at least $S0.0OO000 worth of ore
would be blocked out Lawson raised a
great deal of money by the sale of Trim
ity stock, and spent quite a good deal on
the property, which is in Shasta county,
Washington, but the Trinity has never
found a place in the list of producing
American copper mines. If the Trinity is
worth anything at all. now is the time for
Il to show up it's value. for with cop
per selling in the neighborhood of %
cents pound almost any copper property
ought to make money.
Regardless of the value of the Trinity
mine, Lawson may go ahead and put the
stock to almost any price in the Boston
market The last campaign of this kind
that Lawson ran was bull campaign
in Amalgamated Copper two years ago..
Lawson advised his following to buy
Amalgamated. and those who acted on
his advice saw. the stock steadily rise in
price for some weeks. When Lawson had

Elements, Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish, lately

other things:

He finds the country in great danger. A
crisis of awful portent he discovers to
be impending. and he warns the people
to be prepared to meet their fate. He
voices a faint hope that the nation may
escape the overhanging calamity. but he
fears the worst AS for himself, he Is
making for the cyclone cellar and in its
security he can view with more or less
above him. In the safe secluson of his
sutterranean retreat he will be soaced by
the reflection. II told you So
Mr. Fish has not felt this way long.
The scenery looked different to him while
he was at the head of a great railroad
corporation and influential in the direc-
tories of others. Then the view was
bright and the prospect hopeful. Prosper
ity could not come too fast or in punches
too large. He was prepared to stand up
under any sort of burden of good times.
The outlook from the observation tower
inside of the ramparts is vastly different
from that obtained in the wilderness.

he sold out his own line of speculative
stock to his followers. Then he went
short of the market and advised his fol-
lowers to sell the stock. The stock de-
clned, and the farther down it went the
more loudly he cried, Sell" When the
stock had declined 500 a share then Law
son came out in big circus poster adj
vertisements predicting a panic. The bot
tom was going to fall out of the market,
he told his following. But while he was
crying Sell" so loudly in the market
place, he was covering his shorts, again
at the expense of his following. This is
Lawsons way of conducting speculative
campaign. He makes money for those who
are wise enough to get out before he
turns.
