We had been given to understand that these greedy manufacturers who coined the life 'blood of Innocent child-hood Into their hoppers; these avaricious - and grasping human . hyenas and jackals without conscience and with out reeling who save starvlnar ana . helpless people employment, wanted children of two and three years of age to nn Dales of cotton and car : ry Ave hundred pound cases of man. nfactured goods down stairs to save wear and tear on elevators, would .. not comply with the laws already made; that they bribed officers and murdered them if they undertook to Inform against them these murder ous and mercenary manufacturers . who imnK Doys ana girls are ma chines made of steel to read the hot air passing In clouds at times, and we cannot understand why they want the children protected, and de mand better protection than the : state has already given them. . This Is their resolution: "We, the legislative committee, point with pride to the fact that It was through the efforts of this association that the first compulsory education law for North Carolina and probably in the South was en acted. We now recommend that this association ask the General Assem bly to amend the law so as to raise the age limit of those required to attend the public schools from 12 to IS years; that the superintendent of public Instruction of each county he not only given the power but be re quired by law to make or have made ty local truant officers rigid Inspec tions for the purpose of the enforce ment ot this law. "We, the members of the North Carolina Cotton Manufacturers' As sociation, pledge ourselves. Individ- ually and collectively, to fully co operate in the enforcement ot this law." GREENSBORO, V. C.

The hired man had no information and because he hadn't he was almost killed. Being disappointed, the bullies were made mad and vented their spite on an in nocent bystander as is too often the case in this world of woe. But this reminds me that when 1 was just a Kid, with another Kid, Colonel Joe Easterday ,now a pras tlcing lawyer of Tacoma, Washing ton, we one night waylaid a boy named Plllmore. Old Francis Pill- more was a devout churchman; a back on it and felt miserable all the time. But in after years I learn ed to know Charley Beason well and rode many times with his compli ments. But when a man is a kid lette, and an editor, and before the law was made prohibiting him from riding on passes well, I saw much of tue world that way and It never did me any good. I am agin' the proposed law. I want an editor to pay his way. I want him to be self sustaining and self-respecting.

But -.seriously the manufacturers of North Carolina have given their labor better advantages than most municipalities have given their res idents. Not all, bat most all and If yon want to see line schools and line churches; If you want to see labor respected , and protected go , out to the Cone mills near Greens boro here and your eyes will be op ened. The mill men of North Caro lina are among our most patriotic citisens. They are men with hearts and brains they are human them selves and are treating their help as it snouid he treated. - 0 ' Favors Woman Suffrage. Bx-Vfce-Presldent Charles W. Fairbanks, called among the sporU Buttermilk Charley, and described by his critics as being as cold as an lee berg warms up to the woman suffrage question and remarks that the ballot in the hands of woman nas not. oeen a ore-brand, but a steadying, wholesome Influence. "By what divine patent do men monopolize politics?" he continued. "The right of women to vote has been recognized in many State; the experiment has not proven disast rous, and orderly progress has been maintained." . -O- All Re-Elected. The Confederate Veterans of the tate re-elected all the old officers at their annual meeting at Raleigh this week. Gen. Julian S. Carr, commander-in-chief; MaJ. H. A.

But we argued that It was not as low down as wat ering milk, story, but I noticed that the consum ers of the milk didn't seem to care, they appeared to know it was wat ered, and perhaps rejoiced to know they passed around the prunes. 0 - The Judge Speer Case. Congress will perhaps dismiss the charges against Judge Speer. While the report will show that the Judex Of course we told the hM been indiscreet it will hardly carry charges serious enough to im peach the Jurist. Down Macon way the Judge has that the old man was using the best gome very bitter enemies. They water obtainable tor the purpose. But I often regret that I had taken think the Judge Is too imperious- part in such a proposition.

And things I did when a kid because they are citizens of character but are average boy to the wildest of all they are neighbors who do not like animals. He does things that are Speer. not unlawful; not reprehensible but things that are repulsive to him when he arrives at an age of under standing, and wonders why he did them. Wants It State Wide.

In the bunch of literature I note the boyt are trying to stop the government in its pleasant task of furnishing printed envelopes to merchants and It is how boldly charged that the others, and the hope is now to get a road bed between Greensboro and Concord To The Front Concord is going to have a White Way.

However, I do not see why Uncle Sam should stop the practice. Uncle Sam prints good envelopes, he furn ishes them cheaply, and be certain ly has a right to unload as many i postage stamps as possible. Uncle Mount Airy is in such shape that hu man life is endangered that it has been in this condition for years, and yet all the steps taken to correct this terrible situation is a threat of the Solicitor of the district that if it isn't repaired before another term of court Sam understands that if you have the grand Jury will investigate the five hundred stamped envelopes, matter. printed, on hand you will use more Mount Airy has had on her war than if you didn't have 'em and hefPalnt for the Southern for a long is simply pushing his business. But time- Just now the papers up there that is another story. - Mrs. Isaac N. Carr, wife of Dr. I. N. Carr, of Durham died last Wed nesday, after a lingering illness of some four years.

And they ought to hear the eaU. vvr.v-.,. o v-'rAv If this hot weather keeps up tht transparent 'Wearing gear may . be excused. that the 'boys are trying to make a law that will allow advertising to be offered in exchange for transpor tation on the railroads. I really hope that this law will never be passed. I recall that I have squandered more money riding on free passes than the Bank of England has in its vaults this morning. And I recall that 1 went through the world a marked man. The average person would say: "Oh, It doesn't cost you any thing to travel you have a pass." True, I had transportation on the railroad. But by the time yon counu ed, by the time you paid your Pull man fare; your hotel bills; your tips and what not every trip taken on a pass cost more than the trip tak en without it. Why? Because hu man nature is human nature. To would say. Well I m paying no rail road fare, I can do this and do that and since the law went into effect that you must pay fare I note that my long trips across the continent are made cheaper than when the transportation was furnished. i remember tne nrst time I ever went up against a passenger agent for a pass on a strange road. I was from the west and had ridden into Chicago, and wanted to go to Buf falo, i was a kid just with a few feathers on my face and wag con nected with a little weekly newspa per. I made bold to get into the of- flces of the Lake Shore railroad and to eee the big office; the - many clerks; the whole lay-out gave me. the buck ague. I ' trembled and found the man I wanted. I nut It up to him, and he saw I was buffa- I also notice are g0,ng after tne railway in col umn and two column and three col umn broadsides. But the fact re mains that the railroad is most in terested in the condition of its track. if the track is rotten the railroad must be the loser if wrecks occur. One wreck will cost more than the cross ties used in construction of the roaa. The people who think that because a cross tie is rotten the road 1 nnt in nrst-class condition are mistaken It is a fact that if every third cross tie is sound and the other two are rotten the track is safe. Those who go out to pun spikes out of the rot ten ties snould understand this. It is on tne principle that if a man loses a tooth or two he can still chew bull I ueei.

These things attract people an people are what make real estate more valuable and every kind of business more prosperous. What makes Greensboro real estate worth more than S50.00 per acre? Nothing but the fact that 30,000 people occupy It Advocate liberal expenditure for public facilities, and contrib ute liberally to the support of the Chamber of Commerce that these desirable facilities may be made known to the World, and every one from highest to lowest will reap a rich reward. How many more people would tie added to - our population It every citizen who smokes, insisted on having Greensboro made cigars.. How many more store rooms would be occupied and how many more clerks and other employes would be required If all the goods purchased by Greensboro citizens were purchased from Greensboro merchants. When you purchase goods from merchants in other cities, you are probably paying more for the same grade of goods delivered at your door than you would pay If purchased from Greensboro mer chants iind are doing your neigh bors, friends and yourself a di rect Injustice. How much Greensboro made furniture Is in Greensboro homes and offices? Do factories in other cities pay taxes in Greensboro, and thus help to maintain our schools. water works, streets, parks, etc. Do they furnish employment to your neighbors and friends? Do their employes buy what you have to sell, or help you maintain your churches or social organizations? ... Why not practice enlightened selfishness by helping your neigh bors and friends and thereby help yourself? : , Be liberal with your own money and time, encourage liberality In the use of public money.
