NEWSFROM THECAPITAL Raleig^» N. C. February 24, 1919. The legislative grind is almost con< atant these days and the end of the 1919 chapter is near. The closing rush is on and not unlike previous ses sions, it is the clerks that are feeling the effects of six weeks of idleness. Two sessions a days is not infrequent and three will be necessary if the General Assembly shall complete its work witin the sixty days provided in the Constitution as the legrislative term. The Henderson county road bill, which was held up by Senator Cloud on request of citizens of Henderson- ▼ille who did not feel like turning the road system over to the republican commissioners, is still awaiting act-| ing in getting a ftivorable report on their own bill, known as the Neal sub- stitu^. Relative to this turn in the fight ReiHresentative Saunders, who introduced the bill in the House, has ^his to say in the News and Obsrver. **The position of Commissioner Shipman on the child labor issue has been sustained in a large measure by the adoption of the Neal Substitue supported by the manufacturers. In thta his recpmmondations for child labor legislation forced the issue and furnished the basis upon which man ufacturers built their structure by adopting a number of provisions of the Department bill in the prepara tion of their own. It is perfectly plain that no legislation of this char acter would have been proposed to this General Assembly had not Mr. Shipman called attention to the need for it. And he may well congratulate having induced another ion ky the Senate committee on Pub- f^i^ard in progressive legisla te Hoads. Mr. S. Y. Bryson, who | came down last week with a large pe tition in opposition, prepared a sub- iittte for the Board of Trade bill in duced by Representative Jackson and sent it back home for considera tion of those who drafted the other measure. His bill has not been intro duced, either as a substitute, or other wise, and will not be until the action of the local committee is communicat ed to Senator Cloud. Mr. Bryson has gene to Washington and New York, jn the meantime, and is not expected back before the latter part of next week. The petitions brought down by Mr. Bryson have impressed Senator Cloud and may endanger the passage of the original bill in its present form. The Bryson substitute is considered by those \^ ho have compared it as an im provement over the Jackson bill in the many respects and Mr. J. Foy Justice, “That the Labor Department is not to participate in the enforcement of the law, if the Neal bill passes, is a matter of small concern to Mr. Ship man, in a personal way, and he made this matter plain to the committee yes terday afternoon. The wage-earners have their remedy for resenting the affront at the ballot box and are well able to protect themselves. The strong point stressed by the Commis sioner was that the children should not be worked longer hours than the grown-ups and this contention he would concede to no individual or in terest. I do not think the position of the manufacturers in this regard can be defended from any angle. The moral sentiment of the State will not stand for working children longer than ^ight hours a day, much longer, engoostrongludethan “Doubtless Commissioner Shipman who happened to be here on business i when the committee decided to allow ! i^tion of Mr. Bryson an opportunity to have his bill considered by the Board of Trade before taking final action, carried it back with him to Hender sonville for approval. The new bill proposed will be returned to Senator | Cloud who, on receipt of it, will proba | bly ask for a final hearing without ^ hour. The passage of serving on a commission that, under the law, permits small children to work as long as thirteen hours a day. His position is sound and a large majority of the people of the State are in full agreement with further delay, it through the Legislature will simp- Mr. Clarence, president of the Hen ; ly agitation which i could easily be avoided by the en actment of an adequate child labor ' law instead of this spineless make- j shift.' The present General Assembly I will make a grievous mistake if it i adjourns without writing on the sta- 1 tute books a law regulating the em ployment of children that will harmon ; ize with the spirit of the times and I conform the provisions of the Fed- ; eral statute covering this subject. ^ The manufacturers of no State should be permitted to write a law of this character. They ought to come from the heads of departments, just as the bill did that Mr. Shipman, from a I keen sense of duty, offered to this i General Assembly, and which should have been cheerfully accepted.” 1 i The issue is not yet settled. The Senate committee is yet to pass on the Connor bill and a hearing is set for Tuesday afternoon before the com mittee on education. If that commit tee should report the department bill , favorably, which is not at all unlikely, , a compromise measure may be propos ed and an effort made to smooth out I the difFernces. is capable, and he is *‘80ifte tallrar,” for reteoval to tho campus of the North Carolina Collogo of Agric\iltttre and Engineering. The^ sixe of the vote favorable to removal means that the fight will have to be “fast and furious" until final action shall be taken. Commissioner Graham and his supporters are well organized and will fight removal to the last ditch. The Senate has passed a bill pro viding for a uniform system of coun ty courts in towns of 5,000 and over, which, if accepted by the House, will cut the fees of solicitors in many dis tricts to a minium. Recorders courts about over the State have already ren dered the office of solicitor unattrac tive and if this bill goes through a goodly number of the district officers will be compelled to seek other means of earning a living. It is not believed that the bill will meet with approval of the popular branch of the Assem bly, although no mortal can tell in ad vance what the action of either house is going to do about anything. Mayor C. E. Brooks, Vice-Presid ent of the Citizens Bank, was here from Hendersonville on Saturday to attend a meeting of the executive com mittee of the North Carolina Bankers Association. He left Saturday night for his home after shaking hands with a number of Raleigh friends. Western North Carolina has been well represented at the capital of the State the past week. The road bill and local matters have brought many mountain people to the scene of act ion. A BREVARD MAN'S EXPERIENCE Can you doubt the evidence of this Brevard citizen? You can verify Brevard endorsement. Read this: M. P. Hawkins, farmer, says: Kid ney trouble came on me some years ago and I don’t know what caused it. I had a dull ache in my back and it was hard for me to stoop or straight- four brottimrs, a husband and two litle children to monm their loos. But she is much better off than in this troublesome world for she left all consolation to her loved ones who stood around her bedside that she was going to a better world than this. She was unconscious most of the time up to something like half hour before the last breath left her and she brightened up and knew all who stood around her bed, and died with the sweetest smile on her face. She was a member of the Union Baptist church and had been for 12 or 13 years. She was a devoted wife and affectionate mother and loved every baby she knew and was always ready to lend a hand to everybody she could help and always cheerful, ready to comfort all she knew who were in trouble. May each and every one pray for our Dear Saviour to make us all ready to meet our Lord in peace, just as my blessed sister did and pray that the Lord may bless her husband and lit tle children, father, mother, brothers and sisters to bear their trouble as best they can. Rosman, N. C. DORA LOWE. dersonville Board of Trade, arrived on the scene last Saturday and has been confering with Senator Cloud and Representative Jackson. Mr. La tham brings the assurance that the county commissioners of Henderson have given a pledge to place two dem ocrats on the road commission which would be created by the passage of the Jackson bill and this may clarify matters to the extent of a favorable report. Senator Cloud has not stated whether he will ask for a hearing be fore Mr. Bryson’s return to the city this week. It is presumed that his action as to that bill be governed largely by the sentiment expressed re lative to the Bryson bill by the re ports of the action of the Board of Trade. There does not appear to be any difference between the advocates of the Bryson bill and the Board of Trade bill, of material significance, ex cept that the Bryson substitute places the road machinery in the hands of the democrats and the Board of Trade measure which puts the road machin ery absolutely at the discretion of the county commissioners. Mr. Jack son is, of course, favorable to any solution of any difference which may exiK between the democrats who tiie Board of Trade bill and the The bill to give the women the right to vote in primaries will be brought out of committee this week.
