' Henderson county is an ideal loca tion for a sour k'raut factory," saii.a prominent citizen yesterday. There is a possibility of hundreds of acres being available for the best cabbage ever grown in the country. , . Henderson county several years ago becajne famous as a cabbage growing county. At nearly every state and county fair where local cabbage was exhibited a prize was won. Not many . nearly 25 pounds won first prize in the state of New York where the whole country was competing. . . The climatic conditions of this sec- tion make it particularly adaptah1- for the" cultivation of cabbage. The greatest trouble wa3 the marketing of this product and it is said to have been the main reason of the slump in the production in that cabbage being a perishable commodity it was a risky problem in shipping. Another reason for the reduction in recent years is said 'to be that other sections of the country placed cabbage on the market about the same time Henderson county and caused the price to drop.- Tnese otner sections were organized better than Henderson coun ty in marketing facilities. The possibilities of a krout factory located here and contracting with the farmers for so many acres in cabbage are said benefit. to be of a great financial AGAINST SPREAD OF GRIPPE.

Thinks, General Assembly Should Pro vide Means of Enforcing the Child : 1 V- Labor Law. . : Raleigh, Feb. 19. The State's Com missioner of Labor and Printing, M. L. Shipman, . puts, the matter of pro viding machinery for the enforcement of the child labor law. effective on the first (of September, squarely before the Governor and members of the General Assembly in the lollowing letter trans mitted to His Excellency . today : To His Excellency, , . Hen. Thoma W. Bickett, - Governor of North. Carolina. My dear Governor : . : - I "desire to impai t to the members of the General Assembly, through your iiixceiiency, miormatipn in my pos session touching a subject which I consider of vital interest to the peop:e of North Carolina, in that it points the way to the enforcement of a Federal statute, touching our industrial liie. by the State itsell. v " ' v You are doubtless ' aware ' thatan , a of : congress entitled "An act to prevent interstate commerce in th? Products of child 'abor, and for other purposes," becomes effective through out the, county September 1, 1917, and that the power of the government will bi behind the enfoi cement of this law. TJe subject of its enforcement is one which comes directly under the" pur- view of the Secretary of Labor, except that the Secretary of Commerce with the Attorney General and : the . Secre tary of Labor constitute a board for niaKing rules and regulations. f . TJie executive officer in charge, however, for "the United States in the adminis tration olE its child labor law is the Secretary of Labor, and with that pfli. The Federal law provides that "in any State designated by the board an employment certificate or other simi lar paper as to the age of the child, issued under the laws of that State provided for." The essential part of the certificate is, of course, the meth od by which age can be proved and I am assured by the Secretary of .Labor that if the State of North Carolina iiould provide - means of enforcement of the National child labor law, the reports of her officials will be accept ed, and thus the necessity - of sending Federal inspectors - into i the State WOiildbebviatedP- I took the matter up VithT Secretary Wilson, in person, .while in Washing ton a few weeks ago, at which time a. tentative measure for consideration by our General Assembly was filed for examination and approval by the Fed eral board. This . bill is now in my possession, having passed the censor ship of both Secretary Wilson and Sec retary Redfield. I have practically been assured that if this proposed measure shall be enacted into law there will be no dual inspection of in dustrial concerns in North Carolina when the National -law becomes effec tive on the first day of next September, and I feel 'it my duty both as an offi cial and a citizen of this good State, to convey this Information to the members of the General Assemb?. who, alone, have the authority to say whether our wage-earners . shall ob tain certificates of employment from Raleigh or Washington. The bill, sub mitted by the writer to the Secretary of Labor and partly redrafted by that official, is at their disposal. I have neither the time nor the inclination to "button-hole" legislators inthe inter, est of this, or .any other proposition. The information in my -possession will be cheerfully communicated to any members who may be interested in the State's supervision of its own affairs. We hear a great deal of talk about State's rights. Here is an opportunity to show the extent of our convictions upon that question. Some of our citizens may be delud- ing themselves with the idea that the Federal law, regulating the employ- ment of children,, will be declared un constitutional. I am not a' lawyer, but tne weDD-Kenyon decision and tne opinion of the Supreme Court, in the case brougnt before it under tne Mann White Slave Act precludes the proba- bility, at least, of an adverse decision to the provisions of the national child labor law. Even if it should be un- favorable, North Carolina would have nothing more in the matter of labor leg -a . . . iclotinn thoti chn hoo nassJ a rmrA cuc a &uuu many years, in the event the bill in my possession should become a law, u wQuld be a rrotectIon to both he i tat'on that would be hurtful to many of our Institutions. But we are facinsr a condition and not a theory. It is my honest opinion that the affairs of this child labor law during the summer of State should remain in the hands of 1916, and I cannot. In good conscience, those who are, in a measure, aware ! let the matter pass without giving the of existing conditions, and te allowed General Assembly an opportunity to to pass into the hands of strangers : consider, If it desires, the plans of co who may know nothing of them. An(t: operation I have succeeded in arrang- , this conviction has prompted me to try Ing with the Federal authorities.

A PAYING PROPOSITION. A representative of a large machin ery company which is now placing ma chinery in a flour mill at Asheville was in the city a few days ago and explain ed to, a few interested gentlemen the cost ofs installing ; and maintaining a 100 barrel pe rday mill in or near Hen dersonville. ' : ,v t - Some interesting facts and figures were gathered at this meeting and pro bably a little more theoretical than practical they will give some idea"of the ; profits of such an enterprico for Hendersonville. - v : ; ' . Out of 60 pounds of wheat about 42 pounds- of i flour is ; produced.' The re-; I maming 16 pounds,, are . maae into . shorts and other by-products. At least 2 pounds is . said to . be : lost in the process. -The present wholesale price of , flour 4 ,1-2 cents per pound would mean a revenue for the flour of $189 t per 42 pounds and the revenue of the shorts based upon 3 cents perpound making. 48 cents per 16 pounds,: giving . a grand total of $2,37 cents per bushel of 'wheat.- . A 1 00 barrei mill would require 500 bushels per day of wheat it is said. At the present market price of wheat a profit of nearly 25 per cent gross could be made and the' running expense is not a great item on a mill of this ' size. ,: '.
