FORT WILLING To
BUY IN ATLANT A

To a visiting committee from the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Colo
mel Griffith and Captain Bankhead,
Of the Seventeenth Regiment at Fort
Mcpherson, explained Thursday that
the apparent discrimination against
Atlanta merchants in the purchase OF
supplies for the post was matter
not within their discretion.
Colonel Griffith also stated that in
his report of the matter, to be mailed
just before boarding the train for the
Mexican line, he had recommended
that the former latitude be given the
post quartermaster in the purchase OF
all supplies.
w. II. Leahy, statistical secretary
Of the Chamber, and Lynn Fort.
chairman of the special committee,
made the call at the fort.
"Our visit was eminently satisfac :
tory" Mr.. Leahy said. I'VE found
out that there was not the least in
tention to discriminate against the
Atlanta merchants. 1t seems re-
Gently introduced regulation provides
that all supplies, except perishable
articles, shall be purchased by the
department at Governors Island, New
York, for a certain district, in when
Fort Mcpherson is situated.
This left the quartermaster's de-
partment at the post without any
discretion in the matter. Month by
month, his requisition had to be sent
in to Governors Island. and II the
Atlanta merchants wanted TO bid on
any of the supplies their bids and
samples would have TO be sent to the
department there-a circumstance
practically prohibitive of trade.
I'VE were particularly glad to note
the cordiality with which Colonel
Griffith assured us that his report,
going forward to-day, would contain
the Recommendation that the former
plan be reinstated and that the post
here be permitted to buy its supplies
wherever II pleased"

SOUTH IS SCORED
FOR STAND ON
CHILD LABOR
North Carolina Man Calls Atten-
ton to Mill Conditions and
Urges Remedies.

NEW ORLEANS, March IA
'Southerners feel that tho poor child
vas born 10 toll, ami should be set
at II early" Wiley f. Swift, OF
Greensboro, n. c., told the delegates
to the tenth annual Conference on
Child Labor here. His address was a
scathing denunciation OF Southern
standards and Southern ideals. Our
people have always been kind and
charitable, but they have never been
JUST" he cried
why is the South so far below
standard In its child labor laws? !
refer especially to North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissippi We Southerners are not in
different to the rights of childhood;
perhaps we are victims Of an accu-
mutation OF facts and circumstances
over which we have not had con-
troll.
AS successors to the civilization Of
30 years ago we feel that there is a
difference in children.
Rights Are Overlooked.
The children of the poor have been
allowed to work because we have
known or thought little Of absolute
human rights. Furthermore, we do
not properly understand the laws OF
community progress, or know just
what we are doing. We have no re-
liable data because there have been
no investigations, or until recently
we have resented any suggestion that
we needed to learn.
I'VE of the South have been pecu-
liarly jealous of our reputation, and
have In many cases hid our eyes
lest we see things that were not good.
Walter Pages speech on the Forgot
ten Man was bold. When DR.. Stiles
said we had hookworm the lie was
all but passed. But the signs are
hopeful. Our educational forces are
hunting for the forgotten man, and
as a result of the investigation car
ried on through Rockefeller Institute,
hookworm is almost as fashionable as
appendicitis
People Deluded, He Says.
up to this time we have allowed
ourselves to be deluded because our
manufacturers have said things were
all right, and we have respect for
men of influence and wealth. II we
have cried out against the bad rich,
1t has been because, in our opinions.
most of the bad rich live next to Wall
street and certainly north of the Ma
son Dixon line. To appoint an in
spector for our own mill villages
would be a reflection upon the word
and character of good men!
But, above all, the reason child
labor continues is that the manufac-
turer wants the child in his mill
Since this manufacturer considers
child labor of such vital importance
that he is willing TO 60 to the Legis
leture to fight for the right to work a
child, you need not be surprised that
he stili permits large number of
our children 10 be taken from school
and placed at work and that on any
work day in the cotton mills. week in
and week out, hundreds of girls in
short dresses may be found standing
