SUPT. WALTERS LAUGHS AT MEET (Continued From Page One.) conversation, they broke away to the rear of the drug store, and began getting their tin< flans < together. It was because or the knowledge of <mhat was Ibeinfe planned that Miss Kelleher pleaded with' the boys to show the respect they would show to their own mothers. Evidently the little fellows hjtve never been, taught to have respect for ladies, and it: is no wonder, because the men in the crowd were of the same stripe, or. most them were. Any one of the mill officials, had he had any respect for a lady or for decency, could have stopped the disgraceful scene. They not only ma<fe no effort to stop it, but encouraged the boys either b y '‘egging” them on, or laughing at their disgraceful conduct. ‘‘Souther* Chivalry. - The Herald is today publishing a speech made by Col. T. Lj Eirkpdtrick in Newark, N. J„ in wjfich the wefl known Charlotte booster told" the -J, New Jersey folks about the chivalry • j. of southern men. While Superin tendent Walters was laughing glee fully tit the little boys wh6 were dis gracing . Mecklenburg county, one cquld not keep from thinking of Co!. Kirkpatrick’s tribute to soufliern man hood; and one was forced-to the; con clusion that Col. Kirkpatrick did not draw his beautiful word picture from such men as Superintendent Walters and-his underlings who have prefer red jobs in the Hoskins mills. No' Other Place Would Do It. Yet jQoh Patrick is everlastingly right. Southern MEN are chivalrous. N It is .good to believe that there is net another section in all North Car olina where Southern men would ap prove and necourage and applaud with their hellish gleef ul grins' and laughs such conduct on the part of boys in a community as that witness ed at Hoskins. Instead of teaching boys the right, and leading them into splendid manhood, Superintendent IKalters’s* presence, and his laughing approval of such misconduct, low, de grading, and crime-breeding, places a responsibility upon his shoulders that most real men would dread to as sume. Mj&ny Members Now. There are, in the Chadwick-Hos kins mills, many mmebers of the United Textile Workers of America. Others desire tS become members. This is America, and those-so desiring - are most certain to have the oppor tunity of becoming members. The American labor movement has not reached jthat gigantic position where more than five millions of workers are - enrolled upon its roster on any flow ery pathway. It has grown because of such conduct as that staged at Hoskins, and this action of Thursday Kf evening will do no less than add zeal ■ to the organizers and create a greater determination in the hearts of the workers in those mills to organize and deal collectively; with the mill . ioificials. Sumtf'keal Men. There were some men in the crowd who deplored the dastardly • ^conduct of "the boys whcih seemed to meet the approval of the milt offi cials, but; those men were not in a position of authority to stop the’ pro ceedings. The proprietors of the Hos kins DrugStprewas most gentlemanly about the whole affair. He had agreed to the meeting being held at the place, as had adjoining property own ers, and the organizers felt keenly for the druggist because of the hu miliating position he was placed in by the rowdyism over which he had no control. Others in the crow’d, and some few. of them were workers, spoke emphatically to one another . - - $ arid to the organizers about thri shameful proceedings. ' Several pals ing automobile parties stopped, at tracted by t&e Boise, and inquSNd as tor the disturbance. One panfcy, in particular, visitors ih Charlotte, when informed of the fact that the whole affair was simply to prevent labor or ganizers ~rrom speaking, were shock ed. A lady in this car said she had always, heard; about the high-handed methods-employed by the cotton mill owners and their officials, and had refused to believe much she had heard, but since witnessing this af fair, and being informed that Super intendent .Walters was present, evi dently enjoying the proceedings from the way he- was laughing, vowed she would, believe anything now she heard about the cottpn mill industry. There will be another meeting held at Haskins at an early date. SAYS ALABAMA B WOBSE THAN FLA. , Convict Leaee System in Alabama Is Declared Biot on Civilization and Christianity. . ' . ■-— - ■ That Alabama would have a worse reputation for cruelty to convicts if the truth were known than has Flor ida was toe charge made at the recent meeting of the League of Wpmen Voters, representatives of civic or ganizations and the publiG held at Birmingham, The purpose of the meeting , was to formulate plana for ending the state convict leave system as now practiced under the state laws. Mrs. Solon Jacobs presided, and among the speakers were W,. C. Davis, of Jasper, former member of the state legislature; John C. Arnold, a legis lator, and Judge William N. Fort of the Jefferson country circuit court. Nearby States Ban System. Mr. Davis sketched the history of the convict lease system and stigma tized it as “one of the last of the inhuman practices of the early y^ars in this country to be thrown off by a progressive civilization.” The idea ’of revenue gain from the prisoners is fast disappearing throughout the country, he said. He pointed to the fact that both tile neighbor states had abolished the system. John C. Arnold of Birmingham gave an outline of his experiences in visiting the prispris of the state while he .was a member of the committee on the passage of a- bill for the aboli tion of the system in 1913. Hje told of some of the inhuman practices that are allowed to go on in the mines and pointed out the fact that such treat ment hardens the individual and rend ers him incapable of response to bet ter influences. He described the public whipping punishment for convicts, which is commonly performed-, he stated, be fore all the prisoners in the dining room where they have their meals. He stated that this punishment is some times administered to white women, and stated that the things the com mittee learned about the punishments would make the recent occurrences in Florida pale in comparison. No Excuse- for Leasing;. “If the people could see the system at work,” said Mr. Arnold, “Their sense of decency and fairness would not let it stay in operation longer than the first day of the next session of the legislature.” Your good things it seems as if you took directly from the hands of God. His hands tohched your hands as He gave them to you. Let them be sym bols to you of your loyalty to the highest authority. Let them make your life strong and gentle by keep ing it in God’s presence.

Knockers Are Not Destroying Faith in Courts—It's'' the Judges - Themselves. (By J. M. Baer, The Congressman Cartoonist. Don Ghafin is probably the best known sheriff since the sheriff, of Nottingham back in the days; of Robin Hood. Don ig the sheriff of Logan County, \Vfest Virginia, where they rob ’em good. 0;ne of the. principal industries of Logan county is running people out of it. Next conies mining. Any miner who-sports a union card i is promptly sought out by Don Chafin ■ and his friends for their attentions. ; They run him out of the- county and ' tell him never to come back “no ; more.” Naturally, the union miners 1 don’t like this. Being naive persons, they thought ; they might get justice through the . courts, so they brought action to have f something done about Chafin and his ; gang. The miners got'^more than h justice. They got plenty. The court got very! dignified when ! it received this case. And at last, it evolved an opinion that deserves to rank with the judicial masterpiece# of all time. It decided that Don Chafin was clearly in the wrong in running union men out of Logan County. He had no authority to do so, as sheriff. In fact, in doing so he had committed acts that were quite incompatable with his duties as sheriff. Therefore, since as sheriff it was quite clear that he could not lawfully do the acts com plained of, he was not acting as sheriff when he did them, but as a Our PRIM-PREST Service Takes All the Washing and Ironing 8c Per Pound For WfMhittK the entire bundle and1 finishing the flat work.
