ed. The life-blood of these children
should cry out to those who accept divi
dends piled up by their puny fingers.
The parents, too, are to blame, but
they are, as rule, ignorant mountain
folk, brought to the southern cotton mill
under promises of pleasant and easy liv
ing. They have not the intelligence or
will power to resist the employers who
take advantage of their necessities. Once
in the factory, they have no means of re-
turning to their mountain home, meager
though it may have been.
The state is much to blame in allowing
employers to exploit the labor of women
and children, while bribing the father in
to idleness and living on their wage. The
state should enact laws so stringent that
the employment of young children night
or day would be subject to such heavy
penalties that no employer would find it
profitable to seek such labor.

FIRM
IS ADVICE
Given Organized Labor by Presi-
dent Lynch OF the International
typographical Union.

1t occurs to me that the duty of Labor
during the crisis through which it is pass
ing, brought about by the attitude of the
courts, not alone as expressed i'll the in
junction of Justice Gould and the decis-
ion sentencing certain labor officials but
as evidenced in injunctions and decisions
throughout the county, one glaring ex-
ample occurring recently in Evansville,
Ind, in the strike of the street car men,
is to stand firmly and consistently for the
rights of the wage carncrs as citizens on
all occasions and at all opportunities
The enemy, as typified by the hostile as
socIatiOnS of manufacturers, is constantly
placing organized labor before the pub
lie in as bad a light possible, and the
uniavorablc reflection is emphasized by
a parallel illustration seeking TO show
that these hostile associations are not OPP
posed to trade unions, but only to trade
unions as they are conducted.
How many people are familiar with
trade unions as they are conducted?
How many trade unions avail them
selves of avenues of publicity that are
open to them, to place their bcncfactions
before the people?
How many it, unions realize the
value Of favorable public opinion!
The unfair critics know this value, and
they are constantly availing themselves
Of it
Our unions, or many of them. content
themselves with raging at their detrac-
tors, rather than themselves seeking the

If benefits accrue, why should not the

If out-ofwork relief is furnished, why

If improved working conditions result

The national officers or the majority of

the local unions do not appreciate its
value.

THIRTEEN MEN HEAR
 CHILTON AT LETOHATCHIE

Letohatchie, Oct. 2s-(Special.) )-The amenders were overtaken last night by the unlucky "13"
 Several days ago, hand bills were distributed around town and through out the community, and yesterday a notice was sent from house to house, notifying the people that Claud Chil- ton would speak for the amendment at the Baptist Church, Friday night.
 The church has a seating capacity of 300, and during a recent protracted meeting was filled to overfowing each night with people from the town and community.
 If the crowd that greeted MT. Chil- ton last night is any index-so far as this meek of the woods" Is concerned Comerism and fanaticism are forever buried in the tomb of oblivion. By actual count, there were thirteen men present. Of this number. there was Methodist preacher and a recent Conner appointee from Fort Deposit. Four of the number were young men who cannot vote ip November on account of the poll tax qualification. The re- maining seven were qualified electors. There were thirteen women and chil- dren and three povs.
 MT. Chiffon spoke for two and one half hours. His speech was made up mainly in lauding Conner and comer- ism. Then he took a fling at Judge Jones, and The Advertiser
 In speaking of The Advertiser, he said. that many of the so-called social clubs were nothing but drinking places and that all the reading mat ter you could usually find on their ta- bles was the Police Gazette" and The Montgomery Advertiser. and that you could draw your own conclusions as to what kind of places these were.
 Mir. Chiffon said that he had been informed that there was concert of action among a lot of old fellows. tn vote against the amendment; that these old fellows used to be good in their day and time. but that they were back numbers now, and would have to take a back seat.
 An ardent amender, who attended the speaking, said that he was shock ed" at the size of the crowd, and that he was beginning to believe the antis were going to sweep the whole coun- try.

 Selma Omcers without Warrant Stop
 Negro Farmers.
 Selma, Oct. 29--(Special.)-- )--Over zealous police officers under the search and seizure clause of the Fuller bill enraged business public today.
 Two negroes, George Johnson and brother from Gordonsville, Lowndes county. came to Selma this morning with cotton which they sold and be- gan doing their trading. Just before starting for their home this afternoon they went to the store of Joe Rosen- burg on Washington street where they purchased $50 worth of dry goods. These goods were packed in trunk in the store by clerks and placed in the wagon and the negroes started for their homes.
 On the approach of the county bridge across the Alabama river the Johnsons were stopped by Police Officer Bell, who demanded to know what was in the trunk. The officer refused to be- lieye the negroes and Police Officer Barker was called and watched the negroes while Officer Bell went to Re- corder Vaughan to get search war rant. Recorder Vaughan would not issue the warrant and the officer went back to the bridge where the wagon was. and after demanding and receiv- ing the key opened the trunk and searched it for whiskey. Nothing but the dry goods was found in the trunk and the officers finally decided to let them continue on their way home
 The act of the officers has been cen- surej this afternoon by business men who declare that the act will cost the business men of Selma considerable trade.
 The officers were reprimanded by Chief of Police Walters and Mayor At kins and to the police department this afternoon Mayor Atkins issued instruc- tions to do no searching unless a search warrant had been issued

Thurman. Oct. 29.-(Special )-Col. W. w. Quarles of Selma addressed an audience of sixty or more persons. about half of whom were voters, in opposition to the constitutional amend ment. The speaker. held the atten- tion of his hearers for an hour and a half, discussing In detail the two sec tions of the proposed amendment to the Alabama Constitution.
 He created a good deal of enthusi- asm by his references to the preserv- ation of the Democratic Party and the desertion of its latest platform by many of the State Democratic office- holders.
 He paid his respects to Brooks Law renee, who came from the wrong State to teach morals to Alabamians.
 Colonel Quarles made very favor able impression in Furman. His speech was not sensational.
