The arid ether generous frionds 1 have con tributed many necessary articles of tur nitrare, sheets, towels, ete -So that, in cluding the building far the colored patients, which cost about r300, not less Chan $1,200 have bees expended in equipment during the paet year ; and all this has been fully paid.; and though mueh yet needed to bring iMip to the standard of a fully equipped modern hospital, yet the hospital is oioav in a good w orkable condition, &i2.d :a great advance lias been made in former at tainment:. During the year 45 patieivts have leen admitted, 31 white and 14 colored. The aggregate number of days that pa tients were in the hospital was 7L2, and the average days per patient were 15 7.9. There were three deaths in the hospital', 1 white and 2 colored. The amount paid by patients was 322.07. There are 52 yet due, part of which may yet be received. The total in come for the year, from all sources,,, was 1,740.42, and the total expendi ture, $1,003.20. In this expenditure, $115 is included which was paid by the board of directors. Thus it will be seen that each patient cost the hospital, 2.20 per day. But with the good prospect wtth which we begin this new year of a much larger number of pay patients, it is confidently expected that this average daily ex pense will be considerably reduced, and that the hospital has now entered upon an era of greatly enlarged usefulness. The jast history of the hospital, and especially of the year li00, greatly deepens and strengthens these two convictions : 1st. That a thoroughly equipped hospital is an increasing need of our city and, 2nd, That the generous people of Goldsboro and of Wayne county are prepared to maintain such a beneficent institution. Sen&sfecr BeveridgeJiastifieE' his bill to regulafco eMld'tabor through the opera tion of-the interstate comrcerce law on the scsere that the working'cf children is a national evil, and e&n only be stopped by a national reimsdy. There are many nations! evils; does Mr. Beveridge propose to deel with all by national legislation? Tliere are some subjects v.-hich, from the nature of the ease, the individual States cannot regulate, i iie of these is interstate commerce, and the framers of the Constitution recognized the fact. But no one of them ever imagined that this provision ot national law would everibe so perverted as to usurp the reserved rights of the - States. Mr. Beveridge says tLtat his iremedy could be cpplied without raising the disputed question of States rights, ""by invoking the absolute power of Congress over in terstate commerce." That is a subter- uge which is unworthy of any honest man. There is no relative between in terstate commerce and child labor. One is a .ntaterial question,tlie other a moral question, and it would fee. an arrogant usurpation for Congress to employ the law , as a police The J .oeal Committee of the National Child xTabor Committee desire us to j give iurtiier publicity to tue lonowing letter, a copy of which has been sent to 10,000 clergymen throughout the coun try, .v"' , There is a possibility that' one or more of our local ministers may have been overlooked in this distribution, hence the reason for this publication. At present there is no subject of greater: lftoment before the public, and surely iione' that deserves more care ful an& sympathetic attention. Those -who have the ability and power to -tead the thought of the people in the direction,6f right must surely be glad t join in this united effort for good good not only to us who will now hear, but: the generations of men and women-to come for whom this com mittee begs the opportunity for healthy, physical, mental and moral lives Information upon this important subject can , be obtained upon inquiry at the Anur.s office. The letter' in question is as follows: v y New "York, Jan. 15, 1907 Reverend and Iear Sir: "VVe joya with, the National Child Labor . Committee in asking you to unite with . yeur brethern in other churches iri ail parts'of the country on Saturday i Jn-n.-2(i, or Sunday, Jan. 27 in bringing ; to . the attention ot your people tfie -subject of child labor as a Natk nal evil vftttd i menace to good eitizepVip, 1 eduction.; and- ndrinal4n The records and tabulations just com piled in Washington, IJ. C, for 1906, show that the grand total expended in building during the year throughout the country reaches 004,900,000. Stu pendous as is that sum, it lias fallen considerably below expectations. It was confidently estimated early in the year that 725,000,000 would be reached. The total shows a gain of a little more than 2 per cent, over 1905. During the same period fire losses were in excess of 500,000,000. A loss that, says F. W. Fitzpatrick, the exec utive officer of the International So ciety of Building Inspectors, has never been equaled in any country at any time, and that should mark the apex o the nation's folly. Further, Mr. Fitz patrick, the highest authority on con struction in the country, contends that nine-tenths of these losses are prevent able. In New York, for instance, 220, 000,000 went into new construction, and of that not more than 20,000,000 went into partially fireproof buildings: and that in the commercial metropolis of the country. s W. P. FIFE DIES SUDDENLY. Stricken in St. Louis Hotel While Chatting With Friends. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 27 W. F. Fife, capitalist, died suddenly at 11 o'clock today at the St. James Hotel. Mr. Fife was in the hotel lobby chat ting with friends when he became sud denly very ill, and soon lost conscious ness. Dr. William Beherns was hasti ly summoned from the Southern Hotel, across the street, but could do nothing for Mr. Fife, who died shortly after the doctor's arrival. Dr. Beherns says that death was probably due to a heart attack, but is not positive. Coroner Baron has been notified of the death and will hold an inquest Monday morning. Mr. Fife's son, who is now in Den ver, Colorado, has been notified of his father's death. TO HOLD CONFERENC. interstate commerce aparfoaient house is one ?f the most fashionable in the city, and one of the most -expensive by far. Souae days ago the management began to get uneasy regulation in such a case, about the North Carolina Congress- " man's recount, and as the result of a series of interviews, Mr. Blackbmi was cut .off' from the cafe, Finally no tice was served upon him to vacate his apartmeixts. Possession of the apart- i ments could not be secured without thirty days' formal notice as the result ! of a law tltp.t prevails in the District of Columbia. i This fornial notice has been served on Blackburn, according to Manager Wes- j ton, of the Highlands, and unless the ; Congressman moves in the meantime, he will be dispossessed. Failures Here and There. Not since UKf2 have there been so few changes in a year as there were last year. In all the country 9385 fail ures occurred last year, as against 9042 in the year 1902. These are two ban ner years in a period extending from 3.8S2 to the present tiiiie. In the south there Avere last year 1927 iailures, as against 2123 in the previous year. 1707 in 3 904, and 1817 in 1903. The liabilities of the failures in the south in 1900 were 20,415,801, a smaller sum than had been rolled up in this section in any of the three pre vious years.

We be lie re that it is an imperative duty of the eLtirch everywhere to discuss so cial ques lioiis where the moral conse quences are S3 serious as in the case of the premature employment of chil dren. We hope that you will present this subject in c way to arouse the active ci-ope ration -of your people to secure a higher regard for the children of your own community, for the better enforce ment ot the child labor laws of your State and the enactment of better pro tective legislation if that is needed. Also, at tkis time when the maUer is receiving attention at the hands of Congress., we commend to your atten tion the bill now pending in Senate to give a medel child labor law to the District of Columbia, together with the Beveridge amendment to provide for a uniform prohibition of the labor ot children under fourteen years of age in mines, factories, sweatshops through out the entire country. Whether you favor this particular measure or pre fer that adequate protective legislation and enforcement be secured through the independent action of the several States, the imperative need of such legislation and enforcement should be brought ib.ome at this time to the peo ple of the entire United States. Ten thousand representative clergy men, selected from every State in the Union, are being asked to unite on this 26'th r 27th day of January to bring this subject before their people, and we hope for your favorable reply. Yours very truly, FELIX ADLEU, Chairman IXational Child Labor Com mittee. SAMUEL McCUNE, Secretary National Child Labor Committee.
