CHILD RUN OVER
At CARIERS MILL
LOSES A FOOT

Harry Steinson, the 11-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Steinson, who live
on Magnolia street, was run over at
Carriers Mill yesterday by the engine
used on Carter's log road, and both
feet were so terribly mangled that
it was found necessary to amputate
one, and by heroic efforts the other
injured member will probably be
saved.
The little fellow was playing on
the engine while it was in motion,
and, losing his footing, he fell of
and the engine and three trucks
ran over his feet. He succeeded in
pulling one of them out before it
was as badly cut and mashed as the
other, A telephone message to this
city brought Drs. LETTERS and Griffin
to the scene at the earliest moment
possible and they brought the child
to the city after first giving him i'm
mediate medical attention.
Mr.. Steinson is superintendent OF
the tie camp at Carriers, and his lit
tie son was spending the day with
him when the deplorable accident
occurred.

comes the challenge from Michigan. Col orado. West Virginia and from almost every city in the land demanding to know whether we are sincere in our confession of adhesion to Christian and democratic ideals.
 do not argue that 1t is the business of the Church to settle what is the fair price to pay negro laborer or white artisan. but that 1t certainly is her func- ton to know whether the people have enough to eat and wholesome place to live. It certainly is her function also to learn the causes of the peoples sick nesses and sufferngs and degradation, where these evils occur It is her fune- tion to teach them how 10 make the most of life, how to secure good food and good dwellings, and to raise good children. She is among us as one that serves. just as her Master was. But she must see to it that wisdom and knowledge like His are in her heart and eyes. l do not know how the Church can hold her own in the age that is upon us unless her whole heart is given to this real service of a democracy that Is certainly coming to it's own.
 Now 1t is a most compelling question that faces us everywhere, not least in the industrial South; How far does Con science govern Wages? We must admit that in the long run good conscience, well obeyed, will prove first-class economies.

The field of their common endeavor is to prove to England that she must give her laborers enough to live upon.
 tThere is immense advantage in this linking the interests of the working peo- pie with the thinking and the activities of the Church.
