"Urge the pa**age of the child-labor
bill. Protect your children from working
in far;lories that they may not be dwarfed
mentally and physically. Georgia pro
teeia her birds and beasts, but is deaf to
the cry of h<-r children.” This from the
Second Annual Circular of the Education
Committee to the Federated Club® of
Georgia, Is u plea from women
to women for the protection of
ch'ldren! What more natural? And
ye>t from women it is only a *>ug
until men will it so! Not that the
suet that women have no actual vote in
legislative halls at all daunts the feminine
portion of Georgia's population, for well
the women know that if their names ate
not enrolled at the polls, there is yet no
man, whose Iniluence is worth anything,
who is not more or less influenced by
some woman. Old as the saying is, it is
yet ever true that the hand that rocks
the cradle Is the hand that rules the
world/' and many a political arena has
proven that the candidate who was pop
ular with the women was the one who en
tered the halls or the senate, or look his
seat in the gubernatorial chair. It is really
marvellous to an outsider that the legis
lators elected by the people’* favor, and
maintained at the (people's expense,
should yet be so negligent 01 the life in
terests or lhe masses, as to ignore the fact
that in our own Stale there is growing
up a fearful proportion of ignorant, illite
rate men and women, ignorant and illite
rate, 1 say in no harsh criticism, but In
all love and pity, for it is an evident fact
that when children have no opportm«te
to leurn to spell or to write figures, men
and women cannot read and understand
arithmetic. Years ago vsiun Miss Clare
do Graftenreld wrote an article tor the
Century Magazine, called ‘‘The Georgia
Cracker," she, as well as the article, was
much criticised by some people and by
some papers in the South. She was ac
cused of disloyalty to her own. section,
when her conscientious Idea was to call
the attention of her own people to tin
evils existing in their midst. James Rus
sel laiwell was said to be untrue to his
country when he wrote of existing evils
in the New England motor its, ana yet he
hud his justification and his reward in
seeing the conditions of the factory <«•>•..•-
attves improved as the resul-t of ins writ
ing. it' u Northern woman had written
"The Georgia Cracker” it would have
made no impression at all, for tew would
have believed mat tlie writer was con
versant with her subject, and 'the idea
-would have surely prevailed that Lite arti
cle was inspired hy prejudice, and not by
sympathetic interest. Wo must ail be
lieve that Miss Ue Gratfenreid loves Uie
Southland, for tins was her home from
birth until maturity, and no length 01
time spun Noith of Mason and Dixon s
line could alienate the affection ot a
daughter ot the Souih from her "ain
Oouutrie." Sadly 1 confess that "The
Georgia Cracker'' told "the truth,
and nothing but the truth," about the
condition ot the factory operatives in tin
South. Not “ tne whole truth,” lor this
last would mean volumes ot tacts, ana
Images of illustrations, and even tile facile
peu and accurate knowledge of Miss dc
Grulienreld could not do justice to the
subject iu a single magazine article. Due
must be confronted with the importance
of this issue to the country at large,
when it Is kuowu that Miss de U ratten
rcld and a few others .ire employed by tine
United States government to gather aim
compile labor statistics from ail parts oi
this country, and that more man once siu
hus been sent hy the United States to
hnuope to inspect and report -.the most ad
vanced Ideas to be found on the lauoi
questions. After ail this traveling and
close attention to factories of various
kinds, sue privately confessed that she
found nowhere worse conditions among
■tue operatives than here in Georgia. Not
that there were not in our State some fac
tory owners with hearts for their em
ployes, but that some conditions existed
winch were a reproach u> the wealthy
operators, and a sure evidence that the
majority of our law makers do not realize
that Into Lheilr keeping is given the wel
fare of the people; all the people— uot
only the men, but the women and the lit
tle children! These last a treble charge —
one of justice, of humanity, and of chival
ry. So we come back to the beginning
“ Georgia protects her birds and beasts
but is deaf to the cry of her children!"

! have long ago scored a valuable point,
and any drayman may be arraigned be
fore the local tribunal and punished for
cruel treatment of a mule—but children —
| there is for them little thought and leas
consideration, from the world at large. So
i few seem to realize that "the child is
i father to teh man,” and that the lily that
blossoms is the result of the bulb that is
; planted. In Germany there exists the law
lof compulsory education, and the Ger
j mans are conceded to be a race of unusual
j Intelligence. The world has outgrown the
J day of battering rams, and men in modern
j battle rarely get close enough -to use
, sword and battle axe. Therefore it foi
j low* that the power of any nation depends
! far more upon the mentality and intelli
i genee of its citizen*, than upon any
j amount of physical prowess. America
| cannot afford the extravagance of a mass
j of people who cannot read, nor write, nor
| figure. Some may think that the free
schools all over the country solve the
problem, but they do not, for so long as
tiny children are employed by factory
owners to work, just so long will men
and women grow to maturity wjthout any
knowledge of books. ..umau nature is
weak, and poverty Is a hard master, and
when a poor mother knows that an eight
year old child can earn 45 cents a day,
the natural Impulse Is to let the child go
to the factory. The school room seems an
exp- nstve luxury when ranged against 45
cents a day, and so the little child begins
the work that »ai>s the blood of life,
laterally—for if you nave ever noticed,
these people may have good features and
particularly lovely eyes, but never have
I seen one with any color in the face, af
ter they were grown. No wonder either,
lor at one cotton factory here in Macon, I
have personally visited several families,
and 1 find that no employe is ever allowed
to sit down during working hours —and
the working hours are from 0 o’clock in
the morning until 6 o’clock in the even
ing, with forty minutes for dinner. Please
stop to think of this, my siste rs who earn
your living, and more thanthat, some out
side pleasures, by your knowledge of read
ing and writing and other things! To a
certain extent “knowledge is power,”
even if Randall Leslie did find that the
mastering of Greek and of Latin were not
all of life. The man who earns a liveli
hood with his brains can at least call a
chair his own, and claim the privilege of
sitting in it, but when a child of eight
years Is put at work in a factory, what
hope, is there for development of mind, of
soul, or of body? Here in Macon there are
eight year ehl children at work at 40
cents a day, and things look perhaps worse
than they arc, because these little ones,
some of them, are so small in statue that
they seem not more than four or five years
old. It is pitiful to know that here in our
midst, near a city of churches and of
charities, and of public schools, there are
;irls and boys of 15 years who can neither
read nor spell their own names! And yet
i know 'this to be a fact! Y’esterday I went
with a young friend to see a Sunday
school scholar who was sick, and she,
without thought of complaining, inno
•cntly answered my questions about her
daily work. She, a young girl of about
15 years, had worked in the factory be
fore she was 8 years old, and had never
had an opportunity of learning to read or
write. One of the girl’s friends, -a mar
ried woman from an adjoining house, was
in the room with her baby in her arms,
ind said, “I told her I'd teach her what
'ittic I knew, hut she's most always so
ired at night, she can’t feel like study
ing.” I could not insist on the young
girl’s taking advantage of the kindly of-
Vn d instruction } The thought that she
tood from 6 o’clock in the evening, with
orty minutes for dinner, had so taken
►ossc-ssion of me, that I could only say,
My dear child I know you cannot feel
like studying -when night comes! I wonder
hat you can even walk home! Is there
:io way that you can sit down at your
vork?” She positively smiled -at my ignor
ance when I asked this question, and an
swered, “Why, the boss never lets us sit
down a minute.” I then .asked “Well if one
girl got through her work quicker than
he others, couldn’t she rest?” The answer
•ame, “No! they never let us rest. One
girl was smart and worked quick, and she
■«sod to get through before the others, aiul
dt. down on the window sill for a few
minutes. The boss found it out and gave
her extra work to do, but the didnu't give
her extra pay.”
The mother of the baby, who by the way,
had the features of the Italian artists.
Madonna, and the complexion of the fac
tory slave, volunteered this remark, “I
think there ought to be a law against
children working in factories, and they
might to go to school and learn something.
Then they would be able to earn a living
in some other way than working so hard
in factories!” A sensible speech from one
who knows! She further said, “Fathers
ma take care of their children when they
know they’ve got to. and if there was a
law made and kept, about children work
;ng in factories and going to school, things
would be mighty different among us!”
We had another call to make, and found
mr way to the home of another little
pupil of the same Sunday school class—
me who was absent last Sunday because
her feet were so blistered she could not
walk. The mother was at home, but the
little girl had gone back to work, with
iter feet perfectly raw and devoid of skin
m bottom and top. This condition had
keen caused by the all day standing in a
room heated by steam, walking back and
forth with unceasing regularity, thread
mg spools, or more accurately as they ex -
press it, “spooling." About 100 people
work in this one room, steam heated, with
he windows nailed down. With no fresh
lir. with the everlasting whir of machin
ery and the breathing and rebreathing of
the same atmosphere by nearly a hundred
'eople. our modern factory makes the
'lack Hole- of Calcutta scent a rather cool
mid pleasant place. At least the prisoners
there, had the privilege of falling down
ind dying, and in our factory the worker
must stand up and live. I was told that
it was rather a common occurrence for
girls to faint in that room, and who shall
wonder? In all of this heat and noise and
foul atmosphere and flying of lint and
noise of machine, to stand from t! o’clock
in the morning until 6 o'clock in the
evening with forty niinu-tes for dinner,
and then get 65 cents a day, with no hope
of ever changing, because you cannot even
read and write, and your services are not
at a premium! Think of this my sisters
; who earn your living in office and
j school room, and in all -the other
! places now open to educated women!
Think of that standing from 6 j
o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in |
the evening, with forty minutes for dinner, I
from eight years old until life is over, with
no hope of escape! Think of it. my sisters
of the purple and fine linen, my own so
ciety girl and matron who have proven
yourselves worthy of trust in noble works
of charity! Let every woman in Georgia
remember this fact of “standing from 6
o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in
the evening, with forty minutes for din
ner,” and I think every woman will feel
sympathetically tired from the mere
thought. Then let the women of Georgia
gather their energy together ami impress
the next Legislature with the fact that
the Child-Labor Bill must be quickly
passed. Compulsory education is neces
sary to the state vitality, and if the chil
dren are educated, the adults will be able
to sit down, at least a part of the time.

Today’s Session of the Miners
Took on a New Phase.
Chicago, Jan. 19 —Today’s session of »he
Inter State
interstate joint conference of the Bitu
mino coal operators and miners was en
livened by an attempt on the part of the
Illinois operators to have a committee of
I twenty-one miners of this state appointed
| to meet a like number of operators and
I arange a scale of differentials.
President Ratchford supported the Illi
nois plan, saying it would facilitate weld
ing of the convention and could do no
harm.
The motion to table Dalzell’s plan was
\ put and declared lost under-the rules, al
! though it received a vote of 24 against.
Chairman Holcomb stated if the Illinois
representatives wished to meet it was
clearly without the pale of the convention
and that any action they might take would
necessarily need the approval of the con
vention.
Dalzell then withdrew his motion, hav
ing secured all he desired, practical con
sent of the convention for a meeting of
the miners and operators in this state.
No other business being presented, ‘he
convention took a recess awaiting the
scale committee. A report from them,
however, was not expected today.

Tremendous Rush on the Ad
vance for the Bostonians
Yesterday.
The sale of seats, for the Bostonians
which opened yesterday was one of the
best ever known for the Academy of Music.
Nearly the whole house reserved sale was
disposed of and only a very few good seats
remain. Manager Horne has given the
company a good guarantee to secure it f*r
Macon, and theater-goers appreciate his
desire :o please them. It will be one of the
j big things of the season. Roland Reed and
Miss Isadore Rush will, however, be given
a big and kindly reception when they play
here on Friday in two performances, mat
inee and night. The matiaee performance
will be given as a triple benefit perform
ance for the hospital, the kindergarten
and the Public Library. Mr. Reed offers
this benefit as a kindly return for the
courtesies and hospitality extended to him
during the trial of his suit against the
Southern Railway here last summer. So
ciety will turn out en masse for both per
formances.
Next Tuesday at the Academy John and
Manola Mason, well known to and ex
tremely popular with every theater goer in
this city, will present their prety pastoral
play “Friend Fritz,” assisted by the same
excellent company which in times past has
given them such excellent support.
“Friend Fritz” is no stranger to Macon
audiences. In it Jack Mason has made
perhaps the most important success of his
long career and in it Marion Manola sur
prised all of her admirers who had known
her only as an accomplished vocalist, by
assuming and playing admirably a long
and important acting role. “Friend Frjtz”
retains a wonderful hold upon the theater
going public, who never seem to tire of it.
This is not to be wondered at since it is
one of the most charming plays ever writ
ten.
