WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29th, 1902. WEATHER FORECAST: For Georgia.—Fair today; cooler tonight in eastern portion frost in mountain districts. Here’s to our new Governor. The famous Molinenux case is now being tried in New York. We only wish it were Speaker Mitchell. But, alas! it was South Georgias’ fate. King Edward traveled in nasty rain to the lust ceremony connect- ed with his coronation. Should Atlanta get a new de> pot, probably Mu con would buy the old one and cremate it. It is to be sincerely hoped that the Child labor bill introduced in the house Monday will puss. President Baer ptobabiy knows more about how cussing feels ti.an any other man in the United States. A GREATLY NEEbED LAW. During Governor Candler’s term of office the tax rate was reduced from $6.31 to $5 30 on the thousand. There will be a circus in Ameri* cus next Suturday and nn Elk’s fair there next week. Americus, our sympathy is with you. The Dawson News announces that the presidential leg is well and ready for the republican office seekers to pull some more. Governor Terrell is besieged by office seekers and those looking uf- ter the interests of their friends. It isn’t such a soft job after all, Our city executive committee should call a primary to take place sometime before the holidays for the nomination of two uldermen. Miss Edna Cum, of the Quitman Free Press, says the ladies of Quit man take ofT their hats at church, etc. How long oh 1 Lord belore they do everywhere. The Prince und Princess of Wales may be present at the World’s Fair m St. Louis in 1904 There will be other princes and princesses of “wails” present also we presume. Among the many problems to be solved by the Georgia legislature this session, should be*that of en. acting a la w to prohibit thf working of children under twelve years of age in any manufacturing enter prise in the stnte. To benr testimony as to the truth* fulnefcB.of the above assertion one would only have to visit some of the cotton mills in our state, where can be found large numbers of children at yvorli from seven years old up. At first glance it will be seen that their condition physically, is not hat it ought! to be, and front i short conversation with these chil* dren the lack of educational advan tages will be noticed. Most of the Northern states where the manufacture of cotton is engaged in have already had laws enacted on the subject which pro hibit* the working of children ' at different ages. The limit in some of the states have been put at four teen; some at fifteen while a- few have it twelve and one state, New Hampshire, has it at ten. This question of child labor has only been under discussion in the South for the past few years, since the large increase in the number of cotton mills that has been erected. However, it has not come nny too soon. Outside of some of the large mills very little influence or oppo sition to such a bill has been brought to bear, which we feel. certuin would not be sufficient to overcome that of those interested in the future wel-fare morally, physicully and educationally of the unfortunate boys and girls, who have heretofore been compelled to work in these factories solely because of their worthless and lazy parents. Below will be found an extract (rom Sunday’s Atlanta Journal on the subject: “\Ve hold It to be a self-evident pro position that ehildren below the most advanced of these ages cannotbe worked in cotton mills or factories of any other kind, without impairing their physical constitutions, endangering their moral wel-fare and depriving them of the ed ucational opportunities whicli the state provides for them. "Toil in the close and lint-laden at mosphere of a cotton mill, deprivation of the fresh air and exercise that aTe essential to the wel-fare of a child, lack of moral restraint and wholesome in struction must enevitably tend todwarf the bodies, minds and souls of young ohlldren. “This is not the assertion of a mere theory. A visit to cotton mills where children below ten and»as young, os seven are at work, and there are many such mills in Georgia, will convince the most skeptical investigator that it the statement of a sad truth. “There are worthless fathers and lasy mothers wtio impose upon their chil dren burdens which they themselves should carry, simply because our laws have left it possible for tfiem to* do so. Such parents are to be found in every cotton factory settlement in Georgia and their number is increasing. "Our government cherishes the prin- eipal that family relation should not be enterfered with for any but command ing reasons- but it also recognizes and acts upon the principle that when the natural guardtahs and protector of chil dren fall, or refuse, to do their duty toward their offspring, or those who are dependent upon them the iaw should interfere.’’ The proposed* bill of Hon. Harvic Jordan tp establish an Agricultural High Schoolnt Griffin would simply put extra expense on the state- In the first place it Is not need, for everything it could possibly accomplish cay be ac complished in this city by t|ip efforts of the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. In the next'place.to take $40,000 a,year froth the fees on fertilizers simply decreases the common school fund by that much. It might be right it such an institution were needed, but the State College, already well established/ can do all that. it necessary in this line.—Athens Tribune. The Tribane is right, the state needs no additional school that will interfere with the valuable work being done in the State College of Agriculture and Meohsnic Arts, and the money appro priated for this institution is well spent. —Americus Times-RecordCr. , Tne News heartily concurs the nbove. The state does not need make any such appropriation merely to satisfy the desires of a few politicigtjs and constituents of that section. The thing needed most is to make larger appropria tions for the public schools and colleges already established and for the improvement of same.
