COURT NEXT Week.

The February term of Jackson
County Superior Court begins Mon
day Judge E. B. Cline, of Hickory
will be the presiding officer ald
Solicitor G. Lyle Jones, of Franklin
will make his first appearance in
jackson County as the prosecutor
for the state.
While the first week is set apart
for the trial of criminal causes, it is
extremely unlikely that it will be
necessary to devote more than
three days to the criminal docket
as there are no cases of a very
serious nature to be tried, unless,
the case of Ward charged with pa
tricide is given a hearing at this
time. This case h4s been contin-
/. ued one or more times and may be
for trial at the coming term. But
aside from that it is probable sthat
the criminal docket will be light.

CHILD LABOR BILL UNATTENDED.

Raleigh, N. C. Feb. 3.-An unfav-
orable report by a vote of ten to
two was the fate of the Weaver bill
to amend the child-labor law of the
state so as to raise the age limit to
fourteen years and provide for in
spection of factories under the di-
rection of the commissioner of la
Dor and printing. This decision was
reached after a lengthy joint COM
mittee in the senate chamber dur
ing which both sides were duly
heard.
This is taken to mean that there
will be no changes in the child la
Dor laws at this session.
There was big delegation of cot
ton mill men here and before th'
committee hearing they adopted
resolution urging that no change
be made and pledging that the in
dividual members of the Cottol
