The Butler. Forgy SANDER Suit
Tried in Circuit Court
Tuesday.
FOUR DIVORCES GRANTED.
Grand Jury Brings in Several
More Indictments This
Week.

The suit of j. F. Butler against w.
E. Forgy for SANDER was decided
Tuesday, the jury awarding the
plant IF verdict of 500. He sued
for $4,000 Dispositions we're being
taken in the law office of Trimble &
Bell in a suit between the part es
over farm contract between them
Butler stated in a deposition he was
giving that certain changes in the
original text were made without his
knowledge when Mr.. Forgy exclaim-
ed: That's a lie." These words
were the basis of the suit for SANDER.
No denial of the language was made,
the defendant attempting to prove
the truth of the statement. e. II.
Bush represented Butler and Jas.
Breathitt was Forgy's attorney. In
his address to the jury, Judge Breath
lit claimed that the plaintiff in effect
accused his client of forgery and
that he did the natural thing in re.
senting it and that ten out of twelve
men on the jury would probably have
resented it with violence. The jury
had the case only short while.
Mrs. Margaret Louise Witty, who
eloped with Frank Harper to Carks
vile in 1913 and married him at the
age of 16 years.. obtained a divorce
on the grounds of cruelty and aban.
donment. She was restored to her
maiden name of Margaret Louise
Witty.
Three other divorces were granted:
Jos C. Gaskin from Maggie M. Gas.
kin; Eva Sanders Young from Alfred
Young, and Steve Steger from Cor.
die Steger.
The grand jury on Tuesday brought
in another batch of indictments, as
follows:
E. W. Clark, violating age of con-
sent law.
E. j. Kahn, COL. obtaining money
under false pretenses, by represent
ing to the fiscal court that he was
soliciting money for a colored or
phanage.

THREE SHIPS SUNK.
London, March 1O.--German sub.
marines appeared early Tuesday
morning at three widely separated
points on the British coast, and, it is
stated officially, without giving warn
ing to the crews, sank three British
merchant steamers.
In one case that of the steamer
Tangistan, which was torpedoed off
Scarborough, in the North sea
thirty. seven men of her crew of
thirty-eight are missing. Only one
man from the vessel was picked up.
The attack which sent the TangistO1
to the bottom was made half an hour
after midnight.
At 6 o'clock in the morning anoth-
er submarine sank the steamer Black.
wood off Hastings, in the Englisis
channel. while a third submarine
sank the steamer Princess VictoriS
loft Liverpool at quarter past nine
o clock.
News of the latest exploits of Ger
man submarines came just as the
British public was congratulatiug
themselves that the threatened Ger
man sea blockade had been a failure.
The house of commons gave the
government authority to take over
the control of the country's entire
engineering trade and to place it
under a combined management for
the purpose of increasing the output
of war munitions.
The operations of this fleet, no~
reported to have been reinforced bS
another battleship of the Queen
Elizabeth class, and which is known
to include more ships than mentioned
in dispatches, continue to occupy the
British people, who always take keen
interest in the navy.
Reports that three of the forts
guarding the narrows, one on the
European and two on the Asatic
side, all armed with l4-inch guns,
have been silenced, have increased
the confidence Of the British public
that their warships will force the
straits.
In addition to the military and
economic importance the opening of.

That such action will be taken is
the result of conference held in

NATIONAL CHILD LABOR CONFERENCE

Part of Address by WILEY III. SWIFT,
/ National Child Labor Committees
Secretary for North and South Caro-
lima, Saturday Morning. May 20,
t. 1918, at Meeting In San Francisco.
When I consider what remains to
be done; for the protection Of ]. the
children of, North and South Carolina
I am forced to conclude that up to
the present we have: not progressed
very far. North and South Carolina
have a larger: per cent Of child. work
ers in the manufacturing industry
than. any other state in the country.
If the persons engaged in these indus
tries should march by, every 9Th per-
son would he child under Is. These
children leave school forever :at~12-
often younger in North Carolina where
there is~praetically no enforcement
to work II hours a day in our fact
cries.
Public opinion grows slowly and
law halts behind public. opinion. The
people of these states as a whole de-
plore: the conditions under which
children are working, and yet IT is
my firm belief! that neither, North
Carolina nor South Carolina if left to
herself will enact any real child labor
Legislation within the next eight years
The cotton manufacturers as a class
are actively opposed to all such legis-
latlon: They have dictated, can die
tate what our laws regulating the en-
ployment Of children shall be. Every
one of our best governors has declared
for legislation on this subject, but
when the bill comes up the legislative
halls are crowded with child employ
ers and they win. You need not be
surprised that our Senator Overman
blocked the Palmer-Owen bill. He
knew that his reelection depended
upon it. The commissioner of labor
is now making an effort to enforce
| the law in North Carolina, and I look
for him to be enjoined from further
activity in this direction or to be de-
feated at the next election. He is
playing with fire.
One difficulty is the fact that the
mills Of the south are new and have
brought prosperity for which, unfort-
! unately, people are often willing to
pay any price. Our men who build
cotton mills believe that no mill can
be successfully operated without child
rem under IA, and they are certain
no mill can run If an 8-hour day for
children under 16 prevails. There is
only one way to- get these children
out of our mills and that is for the
National Government to do it.
