Our Raleigh Letter.
Special Car. Tke Courier.
Raleigh, Feb. 9, The ftiovement
to aeoure the enactment of an anti-
child labor law met with unexoected
oppoeition at the fret bearing Wore
ine legiaiaure joint commuiee on
Mannfacturei last Thursday, and,
without taking any definate action,
the hearing? wai continued, the next!
meeting of the committee, to be held
on Wedueadav eteninjr of thi week,
at which time there ia exnected to be
a much larger array of advocate and
opponent of the meaaure.
All of u have observed fiom time
to time, it ii often the unexpected
that happens. Th writer had been
led to believe and many member
of the Legislature had been' 1m
nressed that the "better' claw" of
cotton mill owners and official did
not obiect to the passage of a "fair
and reasonable" law to regulate the
employment ox obildren m textile
and other manufacturing etMih
ment. We were misinformed, to
some extent at least, as was indicated
by the presence of such men a Mote
Cone of Greensboro, J. M. Odell of
Concord. D. Y. Cooper of Hender
sod, J. U. HcAden of Cbwlotte, Alf
A. Thompson of HaUigh, Thoma 11.
Battle of Koekv Mount. W. L. Lon
don of PitUboro, Isaac Murohiaon of
Favettevtlle, all of whom addreweA
the committee in oppoeition to the
passage of any law on tbe subject,
or the enactment of any other pro
posed measure affecting the operation
of cotton aiills or the cotton manu
facturing business. All these are
certainly numbered among th "bet
ter class" of mill owner, and it was
made evident that very little of the
abuse and hardships growing out of
tbe employment of cniid-labor is at
tributable to the operation or man
agement of their mill. Mr. Cone;
fur instance, stated that no child un
der twelve years was employed in his
mills, and it is already a matter of
record that the Cone mills recently
reduced the hour of labor in their
plant to ten per day, or sixty hours
per week. So far so good. But here
comes the rub: .
It il not the mills operated and
managed by such men as those above
that the law would be designed to
reach, but that other class (and it Is
ia existence) which doe abuse, or
permit the abuse (growing out of
long hours, and especially night
work) and demoralizing effect of tbe
employment of child labor, some
of the children being very yonnr.
If the officials and superintendent
and overseer of some of the laat
named class of mills would come here
and appear before the committee,
under oath, there would not be much
doubt of the passage of a more strin
gent law than that now proposed,
but they are not coming you could
not haul them here with a block and
tackle the fellow who are glowing
fat financially on the blood-money
exacted of the pnny arm and aallow
brows of the little juveniles, some
of them ha-dly weaned from the
cradle. i
No! But the humane gentlemen
who also own mills, and who can
show a clean bill of health in the
matter of child-labor thev com or
are delegated and sent here and put
no a nntt-clas a.gumcnt, by simply
stating fuct a they exist in their
mills. And then tney mk mat no
legislation be passed; that it is "un
necessary." They sayitis not ab
jection to the provisions of a reasona
ble and just child labor law that
may oojeci m, out n ia uw - juo
dent" it passage would set and
they fear some future Legislature
would be influenced by it to pass
other mill and labor laws that would
be more objectionable.
It doe seem that no memner oi
the committee can be so dnse as not
this: Th enactment of a child
lhbbr raw night be omitted, after a
proper and binding understanding,
if the "better class" of mill owner
alone were eoncerned. But the fact
that these did not and cannot Influ
ence k considerable number of other
of leas humanity and more greedi
neas, to conform to their idea and
phut (a witnes the failure of thi
olaai to sign and aWde by the agree
ment gotten up ana aanerea to Dy
ta"bsi nana" T - "
mhies it necessary that the stong
arm of the law mutt be utilized to
oosmmI them to do it.
The South Carolina Senate has
passed a child labor bin, the "Mar
shall bill," by Tote of 23 to 13,
and it i understood that it will pas
the House aa soon a reached. J ne
mill men "of that Stat hare made no
opposition to it, ooncerted or other
wise, ana i
Why should it be different nerer
None of the "mill families" will
move to South Carolina on it ac
count, because they will find the
me law in existence tnere.

How to Tell the Age of Eggs.
The following method of deter
mining the age of eggs is practiced
in the markets of Paris: About six
ounces of common cooking salt are
put into a largo class, which is then
tilled with water. When the salt is
in solution, if an egg is only 1 day
old, it sinks immediately to the bot
tom; if any older, it does not reach
the bottom of the glass. If three
days old, it sinks only just below the
surface. From live days upward it
floats. The older it is the more it
protrudes out of the wntcr.

The Confederate Soldier
- Some
Suggestions.
ltnmselir, N. C.
Mr. Editor: Will voti allow us a
ittle space in voui paper to express
some thoughts on a subject that es
pecially coiicerds that class of citi
zens known as Confederate Veterans.
We know that this is a delicate suli-
k-ct to touch, but if anybody has the
right to handle it then those whoure
of that class have h good right, and
just here we want to say, this docs
not mean an element of opposition or
discontent, it is a wave of anxietv put
in motion by punt events and present
tendencies along the line of Confed
erate pensions.
When North Carolina took her
nee with hersistei .Southern iStates
when war was declared between the
States of this Union, she did only
the natural and we believe the best
thing under the circumstances she
could have done, but nevertheless.
the htatc iiml powers of the State, us
then controlled, in this and even-
other Southern State, brought into
xisteiice our class of citizenship,
1., ,,r,..t- Nuitli Oaiulln.1 urn ii mi v .
and did her duty, when she nmde
irovisions for the helpless and needy
old soldiers and their widows, but
there is always danger of even a good
thing being carried to an injurious
extent. Now it is u fact that while
there are political pur tic they are
going to reach out utter every eh-
nent of power and bring it to their
way of thinking and thusstrcngthcii
their lines if they can. We have
Kittling to say about that, especially
t it is a good party. Again there is
not a ciniimunity, or very few, if
imv, which has not one or more dc-
leiuleiit subjects within its hounds.
and while it is not the nm-l pletisaiit
r nicest thing that could Ik' said of
iiimanitv, yet it is mi inborn princi-
le to shift rcsHiiMmlitics when it is
convenient. Now we do not believe
there is u community in all this State
lint neglects the destitute within
ts Ismlers; it is not like the good
people ot Aiirth Carolina to do so.
Hut it is not a fact that every gener-
iliou, w hen they come upon the stage
of acti-in, have responsibilities and
lindens that arc born with them or
hat came into their lives somewhere,
ben it is not possible in view of the
last luinieil fact, that some commu
nity of today and at the same time
a good community, might see it con
venient to c onnect said needy one
w ith the iiem-ion list it h the very
good plea: The State is larger and
more aide than anv small communitv
o care for'them. Now, there are
vat ions other causes w hich, if all
houlil work together, might bring
n -nits not at all desirable. We
gi cally appreciate every favorable
mt are exceedingly jealous ot our
ghts to be iniinlH-ritl w ith said class
and have good right to lie we
.ought it at a great price, four year s
if soldier's tiff in thenrinvof North-
rn Virginia, with all ils dangers,
hardships aud hunger, is not, the por
tion of our lives to lie lightly con
sidered. We earnestly desire that
very worthy, needy veteran and their
ridows may be cared for to the ex
tent of the State's ability to do so.
Still some think that now, nearly
forty years after that great struggle
is over, the State pension rolls still
grow.
We just wish to say to inose now:
