Example Is better than pricept ' 1 Want a boy to love his country, give him the life of a patriot; to be successful In business, give him the life of one of the "Captains of Indus try."

Trie Washington Post Summarisca a Situation That is Fast Requiring an Adequate Remedy. Washington Post February 11. 'Two-thirds of the cotton mills of the South are running from 20 to 10 per cent, abort of help. This con ditlon has been brought about by the lack of native labor, and unless something Is done by Congress to relieve the situation there will be a great many failures among the cot ton mills of the South." wild Olles -Kinney, of South Carolina, at the Rlggs House last night "In the past thirty days there have been at least a halt dozen mills in NorCn andSouth Carolina that have gone Into ue bands of receivers, for the reason that they have not had sufficient operatives to keep running their looms ana spindles. I can see no other means of relief for the cotton mill operators than to Import labor from Europe. , "There Is a clause In the Immigra tion laws which says that In fne event the necessary labor cannot be obtain ed la the United States the mill men may be permitted to go abroad and Import help by contract. In my opinion something more than this will have to be done, for It is ex ceedingly difficult for the operators to-prove that it la impossible to ob tain the desired laborers In a big country like the United States. "There are at fne present time sev eral cotton mill proprietors on trial In North Carolina for an alleged violation of the anti-contract provis ion of the Immigration laws In bring ing to this country from England a few cotton. mill operatives. If these men are convicted, the cotton mills of the South will be dealt a severe blow, which will, I am afraid, put many of them out of business.
