CHILD pRUpeEs IN GEORGIA.

II is hard luck to be poor and an orphan or the
child of a widow in Georgia. Children with the
full complement of parents may not be put at work
the mills there until they have reached the
mature age Of twelve years. but the orphan and
the fatherless may be harnessed in the treadn at
ten As fllegtimate children and the children Of
deserted wives counted orphans in that state,
quite a good many young Georgians celebrate their
tenth birthday by hiring, or. rather being hired,
out in a cotton mill.
South Carolina makes no pretence Of setting any
limit to the age at which orphaned half-orphaned
little ones may be turned into machines for earn
Ing bread. If a child has attended school four
months in the year he or she no matter how young
can be put at factory work during the months Of
June July and August. These months stipu-
lated because they not school months. But
If June. July and August trying months in the
North they are doubly trying in the Southland
in a cotton mill.
North Carolina sets the thirteenth birthday as
the minimum for beginning work but this rule
makes a curious and sinister exception. Except
for apprentices. is the way fl A century

ticed mill owners and kept living inside

ARRAIGNs REPUBLICAN PARTY
EuIogizes Governor Johnson at
the Beginning OF His
Address.

a coneourse of 10000 people rose en-
nsasse as William J., Bryan, the great
commoner, candidate of the Democrat
ic party for president of the United
States. nnouated the platform at the
state fair grounds to open the battle
Of ballots in the great Northwest.
It was Bryan day at the state fair.
The horses, the fat cattle, the call of
the pike, the grand stand attractions,
even the great challenge trot did not
draw the crowds. Every one waited
for the evening hour and the promised
appearance Of Bryan. ...m. Ii. IL
At the conclusion of Bryan's speech
the mass of people surged to the plat
form, and in SO doing crushed the
press bench, using it as a bridge to
the platform.
President Nelson of the state fair
introduced Governor Johnson and Mr..
Bryan and Governor Johnson intro
duced Mr.. Bryan as the presidential
candidate of the Democrats and "the
country's greatest orator.
Mr.. Bryan mounted chair and.
with hand outstretched to quiet the
multitude, stood for several minutes,
acknowledging the cheers of his ad.
pirers, before launching into his
speech.
He eulogized Governor Johnson in
the beginning, and then he spoke a,
length on all the planks of his plat.
form, and the burden of his speech
was a carefully couched appeal to the
Republicans of the country to put him
in power that most of the policies put
through and advocated by Roosevelt
may be perpetuated by Bryan.
