As Near as He Dared.

A couple of city men were playing
golf when they saw an old gentleman
looking at them wistfully. They ask
ed him to join the game, which he did
with alacrity. He was mild In speech
and manner and played well. But
once when he had a foozle he ejacu-
lated vehemently the word: "As-
souani"
A few moments later, when he had
made another bad play. he calculated:
"Assouan!"
The fourth time he said this one of
his new made friends said:

will you tell me why you say 'assouan'
so often?"

LABOR
Law severe
North Carolina Supreme Court Has
Rendered Decision That
is Far-Reaching.
Hearst News Service.

Charlotte, N. c., June 2.-The Su-
preme Court of North Carolina has
handed down a very important de-
cision regarding the recently enact
ed child labor law in this state. The
court holds that the state has a right
to legislate for the protection of the
children in any way paramount to the
particular rights of the parents, so
that the law regulating child labor
in mills and factories in properly with
in the police powers of the state and
constitutional; and also as the employ
ment of child under age is an indict-
able offense. the act of anyone employ
ing him in violation of such law gives
ground for a claim for negligence for
injury received by any child SO en-
ployed, whether the injury be during
the performance of the specific duties
for which he has been employed or
not.

on prayer and definition thereof. He
stressed the fact that prayer was a
petition asking for some specific thing.
He brought out many strong points
and in forceful language showed the
necessity for united petition.
The sermon was an interesting and
instructive one and close attention
was given the preacher throughout
his discourse.
The congregation was large and a
good choir gave some familiar songs.
At the conclusion of the service,
Pastor McMillin announced that there
would be services twice day-the
first at 10 a. m. and the second at
night-the song service to begin at
7:45, preaching at o'clock.

and with the cooperation of the con.
gregation, great revival Is expected

Many calls have been made lately, bur
they have heretofore met with a gen.

later than the usual hour when the
preaching services began, but this
time was spent in song service.
