is TT ADAMs7

It is an interesting thing that
though the name Adam was OF He
brew origin. presumably the first OF
all Hebrew irst names. 1t was not
borne by any Of the Children OF
Israel. nor was it used by Christians
for many centuries.
Two meanings are given for the
name Adam. One is that II is de-
rived from the word meaning red
earth and that the FIRST man was so
called because he was made from
dust. The other theory is that the
name was derived from a word
meaning alike, because man was
made in the likeness OF God.
But whatever It's meaning, Adam
did not become popular until the ma
tives of Ireland and Scotland be.
came familiar with the scriptures
II is said that the reason the name
became popular then was because 4
was the name In the Bible most re
sembling their very popular nativ
name Aedh. meaning fire. Ade is
contraction OF Adam that NAV civ,
the surname Ade.
Obviously our Adams and Adam.
sons were first so-calied because the,
were sons OF men named Adam.

CHILDLABORLAW
IS HELD INVALID
Judge Boyd Restraints Fed
eral Agent From Col
lecting Tax
ONCE BEFORE UPSET
FEDERAL STATUTE

GREENSBORO. N. c.. Aug. "a
Judge James E. Boyd. in Federal
Court yesterday. held the new Fed
eral Child Labor law unconstitu-
tional. The -Keating child
labor law was also held unconsti-
tutionai by Judge Boyd two years
ago, and that ruling was upheld by
the Supreme Court OF the United
States.
The opinion yesterday was rem
dered in the case of the Vivian Spin
ming Mills. Of Cherrydale. n. c.,
which asked an order restraining
]. W. Bailey, collector Of internal
revenue, from enforcing the act.
The law imposed a Federal tax of
10 per cent on profits derived from
products on which child labor was
employed.
Regulation Of labor. Judge Boyd
held in his decision. is one Of the
powers retained by the states and
not delegated to the Federal Gov
ernment. state child labor laws
are adequate 10 care for the situa-
ton and provide penalty, not tax
as is proposed by the act OF Con-
gress. the decision said.
The attempt OF the Federal Gov
ernment to regulate labor within the
state is a usurpation of authority
and a violation OF the sovereign
rights Of the State, concludes the
ruling.
An order permanently restraining
the collector from collecting revenue
from the Vivian Spinning Mills was
signed at the time the opinion was
Announced.
The decision recalled the case OF
Hammer VS.. Dagenhart. in which the
Supreme Court held the Owen-Keat-
ing child labor law unconstitutional,
and says "the present child labor act
is an effort on the part OF Congress
TO standardize labor In the State,
which right is reserved by the
States"
Judge Boyd's ruling declared that
following the decision against the
Overwhelming act. Congress. ''in
order to avoid the effect Of the
Courts decision. re-enacted the
Owen Heating law Incorporated in
an internal revenue bill providing
a tax on the products Of corpora
ton using child labor" The order
further declared that II the regula-
ton Of labor is a State function
guaranteed by the Constitution. ther
the United States cannot invade tha'
power, either directly or Indirectly

Napoleon, Webster, Calhoun

Napoleon, Webster, Calhoun
!! In today's News from the
Gazette, l08 years ago, we
are able to give a glimpse of
events stirring at that per
iod that have, passed into
history as epoch-making,
and of, names that glitter
among the eternal consitella-
lions Of Fame. Mr.. Webster
and Mr.. Calhoun, two OF the
1lightiest intellects produced
by America, for. once seem
ito be IN accord on the con-
sideration of a remonstrance
from the Massachusetts, leg
islature. Mr.. King, of North
Carolina, scarcely less noted,
concurs with both his fellow
members. !.
i Apparently a well-knoWn
Virginia publicist, who signs:
himself 'FVirginius," is writ.
ing, a series Of letters, prob
ably ) initiating the mlys-
terioius Junius of English
literature, addressed to
President Madison. We
print to-day an extract from
his second letter which
speaks Of Napoleon's retreat
from Moscow; of his famous
decree of blockade in all Eu-
ropean ports, aimed at Eng
fish commerce; and Of the
Emperor Alexander, the one
time friend and admirer OF
Bonaparte, but later, his bit
ter foe. All these matters
are treated Of as contempor-
airy or recent events of that
day. Especially interesting
is the view point OF Virgin
Jus as to Napoleon; this was
probably the attitude of most
Americans of that day
and, although even then at
war with England for the
second time-Was a reflec-
ton of British sentiment.
II We invite special attention
to the column that appears
daily in the GAZETTE, CIV
ing quotations from its pages
10S years ago-or during
the war of 1Sl2-so-caled.
We can promise events of
absorbing interest; duels,
political feuds, European
history-and notably, the
last days of the waning star
Of Napoleon just previous to
his exile to Elba.
No other paper in The
United States can boast of
SO great an antiquity of de-
scent as the GAZETTE; no
other paper can so truthful
ly say Of the great events
which it chronicEed: quorum

II has required seventy-six years for
England 10 eliminate the different
note issuing banks. The final matur-
ity OF circulation bonds In this eoun-
try Is the Panama per cents. ex-
piring In 1861. It Is probable that
until that time there win be certain
amount OF national bank notes In
circulation, barring legislation to
curtail the circulation privilege.
CurtailIng note issuing powers, like
the Capitalization OF gold reserves In
all countries, has resulted from condi-
tions rather than from legislation.
The increasing competition tn foreign
trade and the added difficulty OF con-
trolling exchanges made for close knit
banking arrangements, an end that
could be attained only by gathering
the controlling gold and currency
reins into one central grip.

of natural selection, could have writ

luton OF banking had the events of
recent years in the financial world

TAYLOR also used an oaken barrel.

designed to prevent her from being
banged against the sides. She had a
bad scalp wound and was bruised
from head to foot when hauled ashore
and extricated, but was not seriously
the worse for the adventure.
She went over the Horseshoe Falls,
rather on the Canadian side of the
centre line. She was cut loose above
the Falls at 4 :05 p. NJ, passed the
brink at A :23 and was landed at 4 80.
She retained consciousness as she
went over the edge, but was insen-
sible when she struck the river below
The barrel leaked badly and she was
frightfully tossed about. When 1t
was all over she said she would not
repeat the experience for million
dollars and she would rather stand
before a loaded cannon and be blown
to pieces than once again suffer the
mental strain.
In fact the risk and the strain Of
the feat place 1t in the class OF haz-
ards that are beyond justification.
There Is no scientific value attached
to the adventure. 1t proves nothing
but the toughness of some barrels
and the fact. which needs no proof,
that men and women can always be
founl 10 defy death with perfect
lightness Of heart. 1T Is chiefly be-
cause of the inutility of the act that
1t has left It's heroine forgotten and
unprovided for in her old age. The

either bring to it some benefit for
which It Is willing TO pay the price. or
else keep 1t permanently entertained

bravest woman OF her day, but she
spent her courage In a futile and
thankless effort.
