CHILDREN OK THE MILLS. Archibald Johnson in Chairt.r and Chi Id mi. Chairty and Children stands lor the children ol the Stut and glad assistance to any effoit tlmt looks lo the improvement of their condition, material or mor al. But it is not gointf crazy oyer the propngunda now noii.g on. and representi-d by such men us ex-Sena'or Beyeridge, now 1ihj- pity out of public life and shorn of a good deal of his power to slander his betters. The wretched and horrible eon dition of the children in the cot ton mills of the South that have been drawn by the sanctimoni ous epi-cial pleaders who have more axes to grind than oi.e, is largely ti lie. To be sure isolated cases of cruelty and misery may be found, but that proves noth ing. In the slums of the cities a here these pious pretenders' live conditions may be louud ten fold worse than those thev de scribe iu our Southern cotton mills. We happen to have a rather wide ncqiiaintance with cotton mill conditions in North Caro lina. The writer lives iu close proxmity to t wo cotton lactones one village lying to the north and the other lying to the south of his residence. We have taken the trouble to n.ake a little in- vi stigation into the methods em ployed in the management of the children at work in these fac tories, and we say without hesi tai ion that the treatment of these children is as humane and as kindly as that they receive on the farms from which a lare proportion ol them came. Of course it will be said that these are exceptions. Hut why so? The managers ol tliesemills nreastrood men. but no better than those in charsre of other ottn factors f our State: and the methods they employ nre thp same everywhere, for thev are t he result of long years of experience by men of intelli gence and character. Child labor is not at all essen tial to the successful running of a cotton'mill In fact, the aver age mill man would rather not have it, Imt they come begging employment, and are given light work b-cause the adult members of the family demand it and will not unless tha older children are employed. Intelligent labor is always the most prohtaDie tanor in a cotton mill as it is any wner? else. The child lubor laws that we have are wholesome and wise No child under the prescribed age ought to be allowed to work in a mill, and so far as we know our North Carolina mill men are glad to conform to the law, and make no criticism whatever. But we have in our country a lot of agitators, who appear to be more anxious to put the South ern section of our country in bad light than to afford relief to suf fering childhood against these we urge our people to set their faces like tiint, for they are hypo crites and humbugs.

American Kankcf. 1'iicle Sam is now too bi, too prosperous and too much in a hurry even to count his money, and instead of counting his coins by hand he simply runs them through a sort ol hopier opera ted by electricity and an auto matic register shows ho many went through. The coins fall in to a bag and ore tied up and the government guaranteeing that the correct number is in the bag. The machine can make no mistake: Siemre Uncle Sam feels safe in making his guarantee. In this way all the money is coum ed out at Washington to go to the sub-treasuries and banks throughout the country. The treasury does a great deal of counting of money, and lor the purpose women are employed rather than men, and as it has been found after long experience that women make lewer mistakes hence the oerators at the Klec trie machines are of the female sex. But there is one place in the life of the coin where it must b counted by hand, and that is when it comes back to the treas ury lor redemption. The money then must be gone over by hand to separate the foreign, mutila ted, worn out and counterfeit pieces, a work that requires very ouiclv perception, ana women have been louud to do it excel lently well Usually they can de tect a counterfeit coin by its col or as it lies among the others on the table, but if not then the op erator catches it as she tosses it from one hand to another, for there is a false ring iu its clink as it leaps into her palm. There are some interesting facts connected with the copper cents. You on!d think that, in as much as pennies are money, they would be fairly well taken care of, wouldn't you? Hut they very mysteriously creep away and are see.i no more. We have to put SO 000,000 of them in cir dilation annually, and the ma jority never come back for re demption You can hardly des troy such a cojn, so we infer that as they are changing hands Ire quentl.v and are of small value they are handled carelessly und lost. One woman in the treasury at Washington spends all her time in making the little paper covers which are seen around the sacks rf smaller coins in the banks. They are called "cartridges" aud popular with the bauks as they ure easily handled, The other morning a rather unusual iucident occurred in the criminal court room while Judge McGregor was engaged in chnrg ing the grand jury which dihtur bed the dignity of the occasion While the court was dilating a countryman with a basket on his arm walked into the space between the rostrum.aud the ju ry box and. looked over the grandjjurors startled them some what when he said: "Io any of you gentlemen want to buy some fresh sarsafras?'

Governor Kitchin is scheduled to oj)en his campaign at a meet ing of the Kitchen Club in Raleigh Friday night. It is understoinl in that city that an assault on the congressional record of Sen ator Simmons will be the feature of th giieecli. So. it seems that the quietude and harmony of the campaign exsitings ho far is to bo broken and that we are to have n campaign ol personalities for beiii tr assaulted, Simmons will defend himself. We reud in on" dispatch; ''The oening gun ol the Kitchin campaign here Friday night is sure to strike lire in hriiming repli-san refutations from Senator Simmons and the other two candidates aud that indications are that from now on right through the summer and fall until the senatorial pri maries to be held most probably at the November elections, there will le strenuos campaigning by all four candidates and the indi cations are of real bitter fighting with the probable outcome very much of a question at this tims.' We had hoped lor a different sort of a campaign, but Govern or Kitchin haying mapped it the other candidates must meet him. Kitchin is a powerful speaker and u good campaigner but he is guiag to strike a hard proposition in un:nons, wilt is somewhat ol apolitition himself. Charlotte Chronicle.

The country would ' t;dity ,iad paves tin- way for the be more wealthy an I the eopie ( more seiiot.s tlise.i-es tb.it s often would Ik more contented and hnppy if they could get the idea out of their heads that the best 'folks must delegate all menial tasks to "hiied man" or "ser vant." It is indeed gratifying however, that this aristocratic(?) idea is dying out out in localities where it formerly prevailed. A sensible Englishman noble man, having recently placed his son in an American school where he would be taught to work, is reported to ha ve said to a New York nep,per man. ' Your young men in America work. I want my son to work and 1 particularly want him to grow up in an atmosphere where work is not ashamed nf. He will in herit about 31,000 acres from me and he must leara how to manage and conserve this es tate.'" The brilliant editor of ihi La dies Home Journal, in a recnt is sue of his popular magazine, writes a timely editorial show ing that one cause of high cost of liv ing is that the son and daughter of the household are not required to do the "chores," but all these little daily duties are turned ov er to the servant. No matter how wealthly die parents may be children should tie taught that work is honorable, that idleness is disgraceful, and that the great est happiness and usefulness iu life comes to those who are bus iest. In this connection we are pleas ed to note the following from the Henderson Gold Leaf: "A father was beard to remark the other day tint his chief de sire in this life was to lay up en ough money and property before he died to save his children from having to work very hard after he is gone. He is a kind father, und would not intentionally do anything to injure his children. The men and women who are go ing to shape the destiny of the destiny of the next generation will be the ones who have toiled hard and worked their way up in the face of adversity and pover ty just as the men and women who are handling the world in this generation had to do. Prob ably the greatest curse any man could bring upon his childreu is idlensss und ease. Work is au es sential to the development of character. Tt is in fact the basis of all true manhood and woman hood, Idleness is a vice that has ruined many a boy and gul who otherwise might have developed into a useful man or woman. It is all right to accumulate prop erty and become wealthy if you can do so by honest means. But it is no le.8 than a crime against the race to teach children that thev need not work because they happen to livi without it." Charles Durham, Lovjngton, 111., has succeeded in finding a positive cure for bed wetting. "My little boy wet the bed every night clear thro' on the floor. I tried several kinds of kidney medicine and I was in the drug store looking for some.; thing different to help him when I heard of Foley Kidney Pills. Af- tcr !ie had taken two das we could , see a chsnge and when he had taken two thirds of a bottle he was cured. That is about six weeks ago and he is ii v: )i:l since. For sal by all dealers.
