The safety-gates at the very
dangerous Middetown crossing are
finished and in operation. The de-
vice consists of two long wooden
arms which, when down, reach
across the road from the north to
the south side and on either side of
the tracks, with smaller arms for
the sidewalks. The mechanism is
worked by the usual crank and cog
system. AS il is placed it offers no
protection against the peach track
which is little, if ary, less perilous
than the main tracks, as some recent
events have conclusively shown.
But we are informed that the peach
track is to be discussed so far as
crossing the highway is concerned.
This is an excellent town improve
ment, greatly needed to safeguard
human life at this the most thronged
crossing in the whole State. The
thanks of this community are due

If for no other reason than
that the fiagman's warnings were
often not only unheeded, but what
is worse, misunderstood, the gates
will be highly useful. Mr.. Wilson,
the former fiagman, said that people
would sometimes think he was wav'
ing for them TO come on and would
thus endanger their lives; then
Others headstrong and reckless would
cross in spite of his warnings. Th'

term of superior court opened here
this morning with all of it's officers at

presiding.
None of the three murder cases has
yet been set for trial. The case cf
Jim Davis, who is charged with mail
ciously and numerically beating his
daughter on the 18th of last April, is
COW in prog 'ess.
1t is remembered as the case where
Davis put his ~15-year-old daughters
head between his knees and used
thorn switches on her nude body for
ten or fifteen minutes.
The child is net mere to testify. 1t
is alleged that her father has sent her
away to the State of Georgia, so she
would not be here to testify. A pc
culiar feature i1fcourt was when A. H.
Katz, a Hebrew, was called as a wit
ness to be sworn. He placed his cap
on his head and held up his hand.

To adjust certain differences that
have arisen between the two great
divisions of the Baptist church in
America, a joint conference was be-
gun here today by representatives of
the Northern Baptist Convention and
representatives of the Southern Bap7
fist Convention. Difficulties growing
cut of recent New Mexico organiza-
cations form the principal matter in
dispute. Some New Mexico congre-
cations withdrew from the Northern
Baptist Convention, and joined the
Southern, with, it is claimed, the CO.
Operation of some Southern leaders.
The action has produced considera-

removed by the present conference.

Investigations of factories, 1S99-1909,

In 1900, there were in North Carroll
ma Pr miscellaneous factories re-
porting, with a capital stock 1921, 100
employing 12,002. whose highest paid
workmen averaged $2.OS per day.
In 1901, 675 miscellaneous factories
| reported with authorized capital stock.
OF $34,956,344, employing 31,563,
whose highest paid workmen averaged
$2.3S per day. \
In 1899, there were 215 cotton mills
in North Carolina whose capital stock
aggregated $40. 500, 900, employing
1864 people. The highest wages paid
their men employees averaged S1.10.
The highest wages paid their women

Ten years later the number of cot

1929 people. The highest paid men
employees averaged $2.54 per day.
The hosiery mills increased from

authorized capital 1906, $2,399. 635;
three years later, $2,S53, 040; number
employees from 1927 to 1857; aver
age wages S1.90 to $2.17.
The North Carolina Furniture fac

In 1903 this had increased to S3,475,-
$50. The employees had increased
from 4,095 to 6,271, while the highest

are tranquil and have long been so.
We have no strikes there worthy the

all signs point towards a continuation
of this extremely desirable condition
of affairs. While I would not, for che
moment. be understood as claiming
for the Department Of Labor and
Printing the credit for this mutual
and satisfactory harmony of the two.
