WOMAN CHAUFFEUR
RUNS DOWN WOMAN

While returning to her home with
her husband, coming from the Aemr-
lean Graphophone Company, Mrs. S.
Jordan, % years old, living at I045
Maplewood avenue was struck with
such force by an automobile driven by
Mrs. Sarah Chapman, a resident of
the wealthy Osborne Hill district,
Fairfield, at the corner of State street
and Howard avenue, that she had to
be taken to ST. Vincent's hospital. She
is suffering from cuts and bruises
about the face and lower limbs and
also shock from her experience. Tt is
not believed that the accident will re-
suit fatally.
Mrs. Chapman was driving east on
State street on the right hand side
an dat moderate rate of speed, blow
ing the horn, when a man and a
woman came along Howard avenue
and stepped almost in front of the
machine which she swerved quickly
to the left to avoid her. The man
stepped back out of the way, but the
woman becoming Mustered, seemed to
run directly in the path of the car.
All who saw the accident are of the
opinion the victim was at fault.

LABOR FIGURES SECURED.
STATISTICS ISSUED BY COMMITS.
SIONEF, WATSON.
Textile Concerns Do Not Employ as
Many Children as FOrmcrIy-In-
crease I'm Totals.

Columbia, May "a report on the
child labor situation in South Carolina
was issued yesterday by the State
department Of agriculture The sta
tistics were compiled by inspectors
and show the number Of employees in
mills at time of inspections. All
plans in the State with the exception
or as have been inspected and the
total figures are given with the sta
tics for last year on these 46 mills.
The total number of employees is
shown to be 46,SS1 or an increase of
lat. There was a decrease Of 896 in
the number of white males between
the ages of IA and 16 years
employed in the mills. There was a
decrease Of 102 white females between
tn ages of Ia and 16 years.
The following summary Of the child
labor situation was made by the de-
partment:
IF one will study the statistics,
gathered by the State factory inspec-
tors of the labor in the textile plants
of the State, he will observe that
more labor and less children are be-
ing employed from year to year. AL
though many of the mills are con-
stantly increasing their plants, the
change from coarse to fine goods calls
for less help, but more experienced
people. consequently the actual de-
mand for child labor Is on the de-
crease.
"On comparing statistics for the
years 1912 and 1913, it has been found
that the mills employed this year 3OS
grown males and 74S grown females
more than last year. At the same
time we find a decrease Of 933 negro
males. These negroes were mostly
employed during 1912 on new mills
and additions and general improve
ments. An increase of "a negro fe-
males shows that the mills are paving
more attention to the sanitary ar
rangements.
The year 1913 shows q decrease of
S96 males and g females between
the ages of IA and 16 years employed
in the mills, and in checking the chill
4
we find a decrease of 1912 males with
small increase of 35 females.
The report on a whole is very graf
flying to those of us who have an in
terest in the labor conditions of the
State"
