Th Chatham Retard II. A. LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY, RURCH 13, 1912. The condition of the mill oper atives in the South is much bet ter than that of those in the North, notwithstanding the slan derous report recently made by some of the government employ ees at Washington, and which slander upon the Southern mills was promptly refuted by Senator Overman. An examination was made last week by a committee of Congress as to the condition of the operatives at the mills at Lawrence, Massachusetts, where there has been a most serious strike' This investigation has disclosed a most pitiable and out rageous condition among those op eratives, far worse than anything that has ever existed in the South. As an illustration of the condi tion of the operatives at Law rence, as revealed by the Con gressional investigation, it was found that on an average only one in twenty owned an overcoat (in that very cold climate), that meat was eaten only once a week and then of an inferior quality, and that only a very small num ber ever wore underclothing of any sort. The Roosevelt forces in this State are organizing for a mighty effort to secure his nomination. Last Friday a meeting was held at Greensboro by a number of prominent Republicans from dif ferent parts of the State and steps were taken to organize thoroughly the friends of Roose velt. Among those who partici pated in this meeting were Hon. Spencer B. Adams, the former . State chairman of the Republican executive committee, ex-Con-. gressman Richmond Pearson and ex-Congressman Charles H. Cowles. A campaign committee was appointed with Hon. Zeb. V. Walser as chairman. The com mitteeman appointed from this congressional district is Mr. J. J. Jenkins, of this (Chatham) coun ty. ' The attention of delinquent tax-payers throughout the State should be called to the fact that no man, who' is liable for poll tax. can vote next November unless he pays his poll tax.on or before the first day of May. That day will soon be here, now only about six weeks distant, and all those who have not paid had better hurry up and pay in due time. Some persons think that they can pay by the first Monday in May, but this is a mistake, for they must pay by the first day of May. It will be in time to pay on that day, for the constitutional amend ment (adopted in 1900) says "on or before the first day of May' but it is rather risky to put off anything until the very last day. Ohio is agitating some very im portant amendments to her con stitution. The constitutional con vention of that State, which has been in session ever since the 9th of January, has already passed four amendments of great im portance which will be voted on by the people for adoption or re jection. One of these amend ments provides for woman's suf frage, another provides for the licensing of the liquor traffic (and strange to say this amendment will not be opposed by prohibi tionists or liquor men), another amendment provides for a mod ern system of highways through out the State, and the. fourth amendment provides that in civil actions a verdict may be render ed by three-fourths of the jury. Roosevelt's only excuse now for being a candidate for the Re publican nomination is that the people demand it and he feels it to be his duty to accept it if ten dered to him, and yet strange to say he is doing his utmost to sp- cure the nomination by every means possible. He has not only appointed a campaign manager (Senator Dixon) but he is about to "take the stump" himself and make a personal canvass and make speeches all over the coun try in his efforts to obtain the nomination. That does not look much like he thought the nomi nation was being "tendered" to him! The centennial of the First ' Baptist church at Raleigh was celebrated last Sunday with most impressive and interesting exer cises in the morning, .afternoon and at night. That church has much cause for such a celebra tion, not merely on account of its' age but chiefly on account of the great good accomplished by it. When the church was organized one hundred years ago there were onlv nine white members, and now it has over eight hun- dred, besides several other church es in Raleigh founded by it with a present membership of about 3,000. , ... i j ' 1HE eaucauonai piuKi this State during the past decade has been not only very remark: j able but very rritifwiro- tn nil persons' who wish our State to increase in prosperity. When the suffrage amendment was be-1 ing discussed in 1900 its advo cates promised that increased fa cilities should be provided for teaching all the children in the State, so that no white man would be disfranchised because of his illiteracy, and this prom ise has been most faithfully ful filled. . Our State Superintendent of Public Instruction has recently issued a bulletin showing the progress made during the decade from 1901, from which we copy the following: "1.. The annual expenditures for elementary rural schools 'as been increased from $1,018,157. 34 to $2,126,695.50, more than doubled. 2. Th'e average term of the rural white schools has been in creased from 76 to 93 days, near ly one school month. 3- The value of rural school houses and grounds has been in creased from $1,146,000 to $3,- 004.416, near trebled. 4. Three thousand four hun dred and fifty-six new school houses have been built since 1902. more than one a day for every day in every year. . 5- Expenditures for salaries of white rural school teachers have been increased from $621, 027.97 to $1,126,059.83, nearly doubled. 6. The average monthly salary of white rural teachers has been increased from $25 39 to $34.47, and the average annual salary from $99.77 to $159.79, an in crease of more than 60 per cent in the annual salary. 7. The enrollment in the white schools has been increased from 293,868 to 360,121, an increase of 22 per cent- The tofe.1 white school population of the State has increased less than 11 per cent. 8. The average daily attend ance in the whit j schools has been increased from 166,500 to 235,872, an increase of more than 41 per cent. 9. The number of rural white school teachers has been in creased from 5,570 to 7,047, an increase of 1,477. 10. The expenditures for sala ries of county superintendents have been increased from $23, 596 85 to $78,071.75; tho average annual salary of the county su perintendent has been increased from $243.27 to $796.65. 11. The number cf special lo cal tax districts has been in creased from 18 to 1,167. In 910 about $300,000 was raised by.local. taxation for the rural schools. Nearly $900,000 was raised by local taxation for the rural and city schools. 12. Since 1905 the number of rural schools having more than one teacher has been increased from 851 to 1,355. No report of this previous to 1905- 13. The number of rural libra ries has been increased from 473 to 2,772. In addition, 914 sup plementary libraries have been established. These libraries con tain 265,758 volumes of well se lected books, costing $96,870. 14. Since 1907, when the rural high school law was passed, 202 rural public high schools have been established in 93 counties, in which were enrolled in 1911 nearly 7,000 country boys and girls." According to the Year Book of the British Cotton Growing As sociation, the 1911 crop grown in countries under British control was no less that 7,181,000 bales of 500 pounds. Children are much more likely to contract the contagious dis eases when they have colds. Whooping cough, diphtheria, scar let fever and consumption are dis eases that are often contracted when the child has a cold. That is why all medical authorities say beware of colds- . For the quick cure of colds you will find noth ing better than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It can always be depended upon and is pleasant and safe to take. "For salo by all dealers. A Prince Poisoner !By FREDERICK BINGHAM. Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association. There was a time in, Italy when the Italians got rid of those who stood in their way by means of poison. At that time Italy was divided tip Into a number of petty principalities and dukedoms. These former rulers are still called princes and dukes, but their power has been merged In the king. There was formerly a grand duke of one of these little territories whose power was absolute and who used it simply to gratify this poison passion wnicn pervaaea naiy ac. mat He had a way at a feast of honoring a guest in this wise: He would send his glass to the guest with U1S compliments, proposing to cnange glasses with him. The guest who ac cepted the honor would then rise, bow and drink from the duke's glass. The ' wine in it would be poisoned and the last the guest would ever drink. The duke's domain took in a princi pality adjoining on the south, the duke- having ioisoncd ail the members of the reigning family save one princess and then appropriated their domin ion, this princess ne orougnt to ms capital and desirftd to marry her that he might unite the two countries un der a common dynasty. She was un willing." and through motives of policy he preferred to wait rather than force her into the proposed marriage. One night while the grand duke was Bitting at a table on a raised dais, a number of guests seated at tables be neath him. the door opened and a stranger walked in. unannounced and oninvited. There was a vacant chair beside the princess, and after deferen tially asking her permission he accept ed it and at once entered upon an ani mated conversation with her. The grawl duke looked jn aston ished and mad with jealousy. While he was homely and misshapen, the stranger was astonishingly handsome, lie paid no more attention to the host than if he had not been present. " The duke turned to one of his attendants and ordered a glass of wine. The at tendant, who was the official poisoner, went out and in a few moments re turned with a glass of wine on a sal ver. "Take it to the stranger." said the duke, "with my compliments, and say that I would pledge him with an ex change of glasses." The glass, with the message, was carried to the stranger, who took the former from the salver, arose and ad dressed the duke: "It would lie boldness indeed for me to drink your highness, wine when the lady whom you are expected to honor with your sovereign hand is beside me. I will therefore pass the compli ment to her.'. Holding the duke's glass in one hand and bis own in the other, he was about to offer the duke's to the princess when the duke thundered: "Who are you who dares insult us by refusing our ducal favor?" The stranger set both glasses on the table and replied: "I ask your highness pardon. Have I offended T' "You have." "Then I apologize. The offense was unintended." Taking one of the glasses from the table, he placed it on the salver, and it was taken to the duke. who. half in toxicated as he was and irritated with the man who might have cost the princess her life, as soon as he saw that the stranger hud pledged him, drank it down. In a few minutes his eyes were starting from his head, his face became purple, his tongue pro truded, he fell over dead. Then at a signal from the stranger several men from among the guests, starting from their seats, drew their swords and stood beside him. "My friends." said the stranger, ad dressing the company. "I am the only legitimate living male heir to one-half this dukedom. For years I have been waiting for the tyrant to alienate you, his subjects, that I might reclaim my ?wn. By sleight of Jiand I changed the glasses after setting them on the table and sent him back, his own glass. He has come to his end by drinking his own poison. I announce myself Prince of C. which I declare a sep arate principality, and these gentle men who have gathered around me are my ministers. The princess, my cousin, will return with me to my cap ital." Then the stranger offered his arm to the princess, the men who had joined him surrounded them, and they walked out of the room. They had not reached ihe door before the. company, glad to be rid of the ducal poisoner and im pressed by the noble mien ' of the Prince of C. broke forth in acclama tions. By the time the populace learned that the duke was dead the Prince of C. his cousin and his supporters had mounted horses that were standing ready and were galloping across the border. At sunrise from several "towers." as those mediaeval strong holds were called, the prince was pro claimed sovereign of C. and his ad herents sprang to arms to enforce his claims. But the dukedom remained united, the prince being called upon to as sume the sovereignty left vacant by the duke as well as of his own domin ions. He married his cousin, who in the femaio Jine was the legitimate ruler. . To Mothers And Others.
