THE CHILD LABOR BILL
THRO’ THE LEGISLATURE
The child labor blU by Mr. Bell, of Fulton, passed the senate by a
ilmoua vive voce vote which was given with the rousing enthusiasm of
lege yeU. It got 27 votes; no roll was called; no record kept.
The bill passed the senate intact with the exception of one amendment
to sectioh 4, the educational clause which in no wise changes the meaning
or effect of the measure.
The amendment in full is as follows and is In substance the same as the
Bail bill:
Section 4.—Be It further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that on and
after January 1, 1908, no child, except as heretofore provided under 14 year
of age, shall be employed or allowed to labor in or about any factory or
manufacturing establishment within this State unless he or she can Write his
or her name and simple sentences, and shall have attended school for 12
weeks of the preceding year, consecutive; ami no such child as aforesaid
between the ages of 14 and 18 years shall be so employed, unless such child
shall have attended school for 12 weeks of the preceding year, six weeks of
which attendance shall be consecutive; and at the end of each year, until
such child shall have the public school age, an affidavit, certifying to such
attendance as is required by this section shall be furnished to the employer
by the parent or guardian or person sustaining parental relations to such
child. The provisions of this section shall apply to children entering such
employment at the age of 14 years or less.
In speaking of the passage of the bill as amended by the senate, Mr.
Bell said:
“The bill Is eminently satisfactory to myself. The amendment in no
way affects its meaning, and was only offered to make clearer and more ex¬
plicit the meaning oi the educational clause.” h
The other provisions of the bill are as follows:
That no chid under 10 years ot age shall be allowed to work in a factory
under any circumstances.
That no child under 12 years of age shall be allowed to work in a factory
unless an orphan or with one or both parents dependent upon its labor for
support.

tory unless he or she can read and write its name in simple sentences and
shall have been in school For three moths during the preceding year, and
shall continue to goto school for at least three moths in each year succeed,
ing until the public school age is reached. »

tory between the hours of 7 p. in. and 6 a. m.

bow sudden the firing had been 1*
shown from the feet that one of the
bullets grazed the forearm of B, H.
Johnson and passed beween the fin¬
gers of Mr. Poole, the father, both of
whom were holding tin* prisoner.
Credit for the discovery of the ne¬
gro is due in the first instance to a
faithful dog named Troupe. Earlier in
the day Troupe had been missed
train his pack and it was supposed
by the posse that he had gone amuck
like an excited puppy. He had not
beei seen for over three hours. About
2:30 o’clock, however, while T. M.
Toole, a cousin to Miss Poole, B. h.
Johnson and Mr. McGee, a cRy fire¬
man,- were beating the underbrush a
mile west of Lakewood, they caught
a glimpse of Troupe holding guard by
a little cabin across the fields. The
dog capered dellghtdi.v on seeing hie
mas-.ers and sniffed with excitement.
In the cabin were three negroes, one
of them a woman and one tallying
with the description of the assailant
All of them appeared uneasy, having
at first refused admittance to the par¬
ty. The suspect, a negro about 22
years old and of average height, had
partly clip aged his clothes. Near
him lay a muddy pair of aboee. Ho
was taken out by the three men and
the hurried tramp to the Poole home
began. Once In crossing a little
stream through the woods the negro
mad » a lurch for escape. But be was
carried safely on and 20 minutes later
he was dead.
On a second examination Drw. O. N.
Hardin and Monroe Smith stated on
Wednesday that the negro hod not
been successful in hte attempt at
criminal asault and that Miss Poole’s
injury was limited to that of a ner¬
vous character. This medical ver-
' die; inexpressible
came as an relief
to the young lady’s family.
