The question of child labor legislation is practically settled and the "compro mise bill" will probably become a law this week. Tlve mill owners changed their tactics at the second hearing before the committee, and, instead of "lighting unyltml all legis lation on the subject," they agreed to recede from that position and to assist the committee m framing a "just and satisfactory" law. As soon as they manifested tins spirit, and got down oft their "high horse," the committee gladly joined hands with them (for there is no de sire on the part of any of them to cripple or injure the cotton manu facturing industry in any way) and a mild compromise measure is the result. If passed by both branches of th General Assembly i.s recommended bv the majority ot the commute which is probable, the law will not go into etleet till January I, l'Jvi. The bill simply provides that chil dren of cilh-r sex under twelv years of nge shall not be employed in any nuuiul'in-LuriiiLr establishment at any time, and no exception is mad 1 bat not exceeding sixty-six (fib) hours shall constitute a weeks work for all and no operative will . be ill lowed to work longer, except in re pairing b-cak-dow lis engineers, lire- men, macliiiii-ts, section or yard men, watchmen, superintendents and ollice men, excepted. J hat a statement in writing gi ing age of children em ployed shall be furnished employer by parents or guardians, and if false- r stated a penalty not exceeding 100 is provided. That is all. Nothing said about employment of children of twelve years and up at night, and no word aiientcompiilfory xliieatlon. the absence ol these features makes the bill unsatisfac tory to many, and an effort to amend it will be made in open session ol House and Senate. he law ratified bv the Ninth Carolina Legislature last week eliini- tes children under t-n this war, thosi miller eleven next year mid those under twelve after January 1, I'.HI-). Already the cotton manufacturers called" upon to oppose another proposed law attecting tneir industry. Senatoi (lilliani of Kdgeeouibe has introduced a bill to extend the "fellow-servants" law (now applicable to ra.lroad employees only, ill this State) to cotton mill operatives making the owners of mills liable in lamagis, through suit in. court, for injuries Received ny operatives through the incompetency or in-li ne oi tellow-emplovees in nulls. 1'he li'iuor ipiestiou is having its innings now. 1 lie debate hegan in the House hi -t l udav, and the lirst was held Friday night for a continuation of the debate he Watts bill being under consider-, lion with a favorable report. The eiiate committee on the same day j reported I lie l.omion Dill lavoraoiy, Iter amending it in several respects, but so as to materially attect Its text r interfere with its chief aim and pc ration, fine of these amendments provides that parties applying nr u- sell liquor shall secure the iiauies ot one-third ( i-J) oi me re- 'islcrcd voters to their petitions, in tend of a majority Another amend ment cuts down the population of towns in w hich liquor may be manu factured from l,(i()f to Sim), and in towns where it shall not be sold at from 500 to 300. Another amendment makes the law effective July 1, 1003. I lie revenue lull Having ueen re ported by the joints committee on h malice, the legislating win litis week begin to tackle that biennial puzzle. Hut there will be nothing like as big a light over it us mere was two years ago. Among me hansres already agreed to in commit tee are those reducing license feo of druggists selling liquor on prescrip tion from $50 to $25; that requiring retail liquor dealers to pay a Mate tax of $150 every six months, and those selling in live gallons or more. M0 each six months; dealers in malt linnora exolnoirolv, tf"Os thui. levying a graduated tax of $35 to ;iiu on wnisny uimiiiciich, nan inai requiring dispensaries to pay a privilege tax of two (2) per cent, on irross receipts, It is likely that the proposition U issue aomciuinir hkc a iiuis. iiuuiuu dollars worth of new State bonds will l'o throiisli bv sheer neecssity. are in a tinancial hole, certainly, and a bond issue seems to bo the only available means ot extricating our selves. And, then we are not bad ly in debt on account of outstanding bonds, and our credit is very good in Wall street in proof of that titer. The bill establishing two terms of the Federal District Court tit Wilkes- boro has passed both branees of Con irresa and is now a law. Congressman " joo" C'annoii,"fath er" of the House and to-be ecaker of the next Congress, has been invit ed to visit the scenes of his birth and earlv boyhood days.iu Guilford couie ty in Octolicr, on the occasion of the reunion of native non-resident JSorth Carolinians at Greensboro in Octo ber, and he will probably attend "Uncle Joe" Cannon has represented an Illinois district in Congress for almost a generation. It looks like we are to have anoth or "Code Commission" and it ii probably needed. The. board of Aldermen, of Raleigh has adopted resolutions asking the Legislature to extend the corpoiate limits of tins city, and a eomiinuei competed of five aldeinien, inclu inir Tour corresDondent. has been up- pointed to engineer me application through the fieneral Assembly. We will add several thousand to Ihecity'i population thereby. The corporate limits of llulcigli have not been changed since lK5(i not a foot of territory added to the city limits in 47 years: And tins, too, wluli thousands are living in some of the iinest and best dwellings just outside the boundary doing business in ltaleigh, receiving nearly all tin city s advantages of water, lights. etc., but not paying a cent of city tax: The Senate on Saturday passed a bill to abolish the special committee to examine the public institutions ot the Mate, created by the last fieneral Assembly, and it will probably pass the House also tins week. The bill designed to induce a bet ter attendance of children in the public echools (substitute bill of committee) will come tip in the Sen ate W ednesdav of tins week as a order. The investigation of charges of cruelty to penitentiary convicts, now in progress, stems to support the charges in some respects, especially on the match to Marion by the inhu manity and abuse by guards. The report will be made this week.

Jovner has sent tut the following letter to county iperintendeiits: "Dear Sirs: I am instructed by the State Board of Education to no tify you that the second hundred thousand dollars appropriated for a months school term under chap ter 543, Laws of 11101, is neither m land or m sight and that it is nu mssible to tell whether it will be vailable at all. It is hoped and be ieved that the Legislature will make oine provision for securing this mon y. Vou may rest assured that 1 hall do all in my power to get it for our schools as soon as possible. Miould the entire one hundred thousand dollars, however, be availa- le later, the aggregate amount of the applications for uid this year is so largely in excess of this sum that probably not more than two-thirds of the amounts requested in these ap plications could be paid. " 1 he applications troni some coun ties are so much out of proportion to those from other counties whose claims to aid seem equally nurritorious that, even if the entire second hun dred thousand dollars should be in hand later, the State Board of Edu cation w ill be compelled to exercise ts authority and reduce the amounts that seem excessive and apportion the fund among the counties entitled to mil with due regard to justice and equity and the rights of all." A Mental Anguish Verdict in Guil ford- T. A. lluufar some time aL'osued the Western Union T elegrapu e. rmny in Onilford Superior Court for damages for failure to deliver a tele- rant addressed to him trout lireens- boro to Kinstoii, announcing the death of a relative. At a former trial he recovered judgment for $450. The company appealed and the supremo court ordered a new trial Last week the case was tried in the superior court and the jury returned a verdict for 150 together with the expenses of SI 8.50 incurred by the plaintiff, and costs. Trusts Deny Opportunity, Hon. W. W. Kitchin in Congress. It intimidates the energetic; it shuts the doors of opportunity to the young man. In mv district twenty years ago new tobacco factories were ptarted; no men now dare to begin manufacturing tobacco. Had the tobacco trust been in contiol thirty years ago as it is now, probably we "wmil,! nut know the names of the great tobacco magnates of Ioday. Had the Standard Oil Company ex isted forty years ago, probably we would not know the name of liocke feller. The great trust magnate laid the foundations of theii fortunes under fair competition, than organ ized trusts and deny opportunities to all who have no special pull with tliein.

Put My Little Shoes Away. Mother dear, co-'c bathe my forehead; For I'm growing very weak; Mother, let one drop of water Fall upon my burning check, Tell my loving little schoolmates That I nevermore will play, Give them u'l my toys, but mother l'ut my little shoes away. Santa Clans, he gave them to me With a lot of other things; And I think he brought an angel, With a pair of golden wings, Mother, I will be an angel By erhaps, another day; So you will then dearest mother rut my little shoes away. Soon the baby will be larger, Then they'll lit his little feet; And he'll look so nice and cunning When ho walks upon the street. Now I'm getting tired mother, Soon I'll say to all good-day, Please remember what I toll you, l'ut my little shoes away. mom : I am going to leave you mother, So remember what I say; Oh, do it, please, dear mother, rut my little shoes away. Letter from Mr- Lucas Calling; At tention to Defects in School Law. It is a constitutional right the people have to make known to the legislature their needs and wishes, by petition, or otherwise, through their Keprcsentatives, whoarc Iplodg- cd to serve them faithfully. All who are interested in better laws, better government and the general prosperity of their country should obser?e this time honored custom. Two special laws should be en acted at this session of the Legisla- tuieand the constitution amended so that each race may be made de pendent upon its own resources tor educational purposes. Wo are in sore need of a tree school law and a dog law. Something similar to those of Indiana would suit our condi tion. There every owner of a dog is taxed one dollar and the tax increas ed one dollar in arithmetical pro gression from one up. All sheep destroyed by dogs are paid for out of the dog fund. Their free school system is an exemplary ouo, based on kuowledgo operated by intelli gence, one that tho rural people ap preciate and esteem, a pride to the State and honoring to the cause. Their law provides for only one supervisor for each township which are as great in wealth and popula tion as some of our counties, lie is lee ted by the voters of his township and styled tho Township Trustee. Ho has exclusive control of the schools of his township. A bond is requited of him for faithful dis charge of duty for which he is rea sonably compensated. Here in the thinly settled townships ill North Carolina we have a remarkable sys tem one that has been changed from bad tj worse every two yearsjfor thirty years. The last change is so novel in its application that the system can now be expanded or contracted to include all who want to serve us schojl officers. From three to twenty of tho illbred illiterate and near sighted ones are usually appointed to conduct ihe schools of each town ship who do business in a sloven slipshod and rundown manner, re sulting in poor schools, poor teachers, poor attendance, bad government, a discontented and indisposed peopl". such is some of the lamentable re sults which are evidences of a work leranged and languishing system. Such a policy is dishonoring and hampering the cause. It rellccts no honor or credit on the State, but it shows that the subordinate power of the State has been indulging in tad faith. There has lieen for a quarler of a century a statute making it the duty of the State Superintendent ot t'lulic Instructions to correspond with leading educators in other stales and to investigate the system of pun I ic scnooi8 estauiisneu in oiuer States and as far as practicable ren der the results ot educational efforts and experiences available for the in formation and aid of the legislature and St to Board of Education. Why hits these special injunctions been snwa i. , onr states men. Thcro is wanting a lack oi fidelity and stability on their part. Unless some reforming along- tlu se lines is done there will be trouble in tho camp. This contaminated bys tem is fast losing friends. It is con demned by two thirds of tho people. The powers that be are much wor ried with such procedure., it some legislative measures of conciliatM.u is not effected it will be but a ques tion of time when the supremo pow er of the State will enter its sofcu.n protest. Were out Rcprescntat.iv.ji and State officials as ready and will ing to formulate a simple substantial and effective school system as they are to devise schemes and plans to perpetuate themselves in office we would have long since nan scnooi system surpassed by no Shite in tids C nion. .ISassom I.rc.vs. Mr. Gregory After Safe-Crackers.

There is no word in the Knglish language that has a greater meaning, for everything on earth or in heaven that is good we must obtain by striving lor or work. There was nothing made without work, for God in the beginning cre ated the heavens and the earth by six day's work. Work and beautify: and how great is the change ni six thousand years!' Kingdom after kingdom has arisen and fallen, still beheld the inhabited globe and the great cites of the whoTd universe and the vast nu,d beautiful tields of grow- ng gram, and the great vessels upon the bosom of the mighty deep, and the moving trains on earth, and the humming machinery in its various uses fur man, and the wonderful and beautiful sceneries of art, all product ed by work. Then work is prolita ble and honourable, i.ven tho Sa viour worked with his hands the ciii'ifiitr should be. proud of his calling above all others? for it was the chosen trade of otir Lord atl Sa viour, it snows mat mere is no room on earth or irJieavenfor idlers, for idle hands and feet stand on the devil's ground and the idle brain is Ins school room. 1 he Scriptures say that he who won't work shall not at, but I think that must have a spiritual meaning for very often those who work least have the most or get the largest wages in this world and the poor man who toils from lawn until dark irets the smallest waves and no thanks, vet he builds up and supiKirts the world. But ;L:-; ' work with all of its glory will sooii pass away, uia there is a kork and life that is more noble and grand, and of more impor tance to man; tha work t.f hue, and the laborer leech, i full pay for his woik though w- gomiii' nee at the the eleventh In. nr.
