Mrs. A. Harrington Wilson Would
Garry Plea for BIuejacket's
Discharge to Daniels.

Mrs. A. Harrington Wilson, who was
Miss Colleen Curry. a wealthy heir
ess of Key West. Fla, who recently
married A. Harrington Wilson, a
bluejacket in the United States Navy
with sixteen months yet to serve, will
apDeal to Uncle Sam. through her
cousin. ex-senator Harris, of Flor
ida. to grant an honorable discharge
to her husband after two months
further service.
If this appeal is unavailing, Mrs.
Wilson declared Friday that she
would go in person before Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels. with whom sne
Is acquainted, and there, summoning
all of the power of her Southern grace
and charm. would plead her case d.
rectly to him.
But she does not believe this
course will be necessary. She is con
fident that the justice of her petition
will be recognized by the Govern
ment and that her husband will OBJ
tain his discharge on the appeal made
through ex-senator Harris.
Wilson Tired of Navy.
Young Wilson entirely approves her
efforts. His three years career in
the navy was all very interesting and
romantic until the greater romance
entered his life Then an existenc

cided for the quieter seas of matri-
mony.
Wilson met Miss Curry in the Dr.

WAR TO ABOLISH
CHILD LABOR
IS BEGUN
Three Bills Offered in Senate and
One in Lower House in Leg
iSlature.

A fight to abolish child labor in
Georgia was inauguarated in the AS
sembly Friday morning. Three bills
designed to remedy present condi-
lions, were introduced in the upper
branch by President of the Senate
Randolph Anderson and Senator Fred
Kea. In the House, a measure aimed
at reform child labor was introduced
by Representative Sheppard.
Senator Kea announced that the
two bills Of which he is author, which
compel factories to furnish tnforma-
ton regarding labor conditions to
the Department Of Commerce ano
Labor. and compel factories to pro-
vide seats for women employees, were
suggested by H. NJ. Stanley, head OF
the Georgia Department Of Commerce
and Labor, and have the backing OF
the unions. They embody recon-
mendations made in a report submit
ted to the unions by an investigating
committee several months ago, 1t is
said.
Senator Anderson's bill goes into
detail regarding the ages at which
child can work in a factory. 1t con-
:ains the following provisions:
Features of Anderson Bill.
After 1913 no child under IL years
of age shall be employed in factory
or other industrial institution.
After 1914 no child under 10 years
Of age shall be employed.
After 1915 no child under IA years
of age shall be employed.
Senator Anderson's bill provides
also for the repeal of section 3146 Of
> I'll, H.. hot
no child under the age of IA shall be
employed, unless the child can read
and write. He offers as a substitute
the provision that no child between
the ages of IA and 16 shall be en-
ployed unless the child can read
ordinary English and write ordinary
English sentences. If there is doubt
Of the child's ability to read or write,
the matter shall be referred to an
agent of the Department of Com
merce and Labor for a decision.
The bill makes a violation of the
law a misdemanor.
Factory Conditions Hit.
Senator Kea's bills are directed
more at reforming factory conditions
and taking care of women workers.
One of his bills requires the owners
of a factory to give to the Depart
nation regarding labor conditions,
hours of labor, earnings of the la
borers, the character and amount of
labor employed, and all other infor-
nation that might be requested by
the Department of Commerce and
Labor.
His other bill makes it incumbent
upon factory owners to provide suit
able seats for all women employees,
and permit their use when the en-
ployees are not actively engaged in
the work of the plant.
The labor bills attracted consider
able attention among the members
of the Senate. Senator Anderson and
Senator Kea are confident that they
will pass without opposition.
A child labor bill was introduced in
the House Friday morning by Repre-
sentative Sheppard of Sumter Coun-
ty. 1t provides a scale of ages under
which a child may not be employed,
this limit being placed at IL years in
1913, not under IS years in 1914, and
not under IA years in 1915.

WAR OPENED To.
ABOLISH DEATH
CROSSINGS
Cheney Heads Movement in Leg
isIature-Plans to Have Towns
and Counties Pay Part.

An aggressive movement to abolish
railroad grade crossings in Georgia
has been inaugurated in the present
Legislature.
Il will be backed vigorously by a
number Of the strong men Of the
House, headed by Representative John
p. Cheney, OF Cobb. a legislator Of
force and large experience
Mr.. Cheney, said to be slated for
the chairmanship Of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad Committee, is per
haps the beet posted man In the

roads, and the fact that he is to ia
Their the movement for the abolition
of grade crossings has been accepted
by the House membership as mean
ing that the movement has a good
chance Of being carried to a success
full conclusion.
The gentleman from Cobb will en-
deavor to divide the cost OF providing
underpasses and overpasses, where
they may be deemed necessary, equi-
tably and fairly between the roads
and the counties OF municipalities
wherein the dangerous crossings are
located. and IL will be the purpose OF
the measure to inaugurate the con-
structive work gradually and within
the bounds Of reason, in so far as the
cost OF the same is concerned.
II is realized that the matter Of
putting in underpasses and overpasses
likely will prove TO be very expensive,
but Representative Cheney thinks II
viii be a paying proposition, not only
in the saving Of human lives, but IN
the saving OF real money. for both
parties to the work.
II will be left TO the Railroad Com
mission to designate such crossings
as are rated dangerous. and for II to
say further upon what terms the dan
gerous situations shall be remedied.
Mr. Cheney believes that the rail
roads, when they understand the full
import Of his proposed measure, not
only will not fight IL. but may be de-
pended upon to cooperate In Its en-
actment And. whether that is SO or
not, the gentleman from Cobb ex
presses himself as determined TO push
the matter to a conclusion before the
present Legislature.
Neither the House nor the Senate
is expecting to do anything more than

Governor Browns final communica-
tions are all in, and every executive
appointment requiring the confirma-
ton OF the Senate has been attended

his administration, none OF which are
important. BY Friday night he will
have closed his work and will be

questioned.
Mrs. Barrett's name was mentioned

EDUCATION IN OCALA

Education in our city has a block
and chain on it in the form Of an
inadequate school building. The
handicap keeps a strain on every
teacher, scholar and patron in the
city.
On Friday, Aug. 10, an election
will be held to decide whether we
will have up-to-date buildings for
our children to be instructed in, or
whether we will continue to have
them taught in the antiquated fire
trap that was too small and incon-
venient for them ten years ago.
There is not another town the size
of Ocala in the state that. has such a
shabby schoolhouse.
We need a big, up-to-date high
school building for all the town, and
Ia neat, compact primary school for
the north end of the city, which has
score of children too small for the
long walk up town. And every
school patron should remember that
his failure to vote will be half a
vote against the needed building.

ALONE IN HIS CLASS

In the Banner this morning, May
or Robertson announced his veto of
the resolution passed by the council
June 3. 1913, authorizing the issue
of bonds to purchase the water
works. The council does not meet
until this evening.
Of all the executive officers in the
United States, Mayor Robertson, so
far as the Star knows, is the only
one who publishes his vetoes and
other public documents before they
are given to the legislative body for
which they are intended. He is
alone in his class, and the eminence
is not enviable. 1t is a grave breach
of official courtesy, and in the case
Of Ocala it is directed against a body
of men who are just as much deserv-
ing of respect as any aggregation OF
citizens, official or otherwise. in the
country
1t is difficult to understand what
the mayor is driving at. The bonds
for the waterworks have been sign.
ed and delivered. The resolution
that he vetoed has been replaced by
an ordinance passed later. Vetoing
resolution is something unusual
Nothing like it has happened in his
tory since the pope issued his famou:
bull against the comet.
So far as the Star sees, the may
or's veto may cause the city some en-
tierely unnecessary trouble and ex
pense. Otherwise, its effect may BIZ
expressed by a CIPHER.

large sum to keep in repair Marion

larger proportion OF the population

greater necessity to farmer than to

sum up our resources and decide
what sum we can carry, and then
