that each and every patron will

We would not cast any refl ic

at least give us more territory on

I did not intend to write any
thing on the subject of the child
Libor question which is now be
ing considered by the Georgia
Legislature, because I cannot do
the subject justice in an article
without making it too long to be
accepted by the Messenger, but
so much is being written and
printed on the subject I will say a
few words.
Surely those who oppose child
labor in cotton mills either have
not sufficiently studied the busi
nes or thay must be prejudiced
against the cotton mills. I have
lived at Trion nearly thirty-six
years and during that time 1 have
Seen widow women apply for
work for their children who were
perfectly destitute having no
means of support for themselves
and little children. Some had we
will say, five children, two of
whom might earn enough to keep
them from real suffering, while the
mother would endeavor to keep
herself and the smulier children
from suffering for the necessaries
of life by taking in washing or
anything she could get to do.
This is one picture, and a true
one. Now, will those who op
pose child labor give ns some
plan whereby these widows and
children can obtain the means of
sustenance. They must have
something to eat and wear. How
are they to get these things?
I have never seen any answer to
this question.
Then as to the educational qual
ification. If the child cannot read
and write, he is not allowed to
work in tho factories only nnder
certain considerations. This
seems to apply to older children.
Well, this is an education qualifi
cation with a rush. Just think,
if a child, or young person can’t
work in a factory until they can
read and write, what about adnlti
who cannot read and write? Will
they be deprived from the privi
lege of working in a cotton mill?
It seems to me that would be the
only consistent way to construe
the law. Tl.is is compulsory ed*
ucation. If the legislature under
takes to regelate labor and labor
ers m cotton mills why not do so
for the farms and farmers. Why
not say that children under a cer
age shall not work in the field?
Or if older children cannot read
and write, they too must not work
only a part of the time and to
carry out the common inference
of the proposition, even men who
cannot read and write should not
work only a portion of the time
until they produce a certificate

No, if the law makers are going
to regulate labor, it does seem l
that they should “protect” chil
dren and illiterate people, not on
ly from having to 1 ibor in facto
ries, bnt anywhere else, for there
is no difference so far as I can see
when applied to obtaining an ed
ucation.
