THE MONROE JOURNAL! K. G. If F. BEASLEY, I ... BEASLEY. ( " Tuesday, February 19, 19907. Cotton Manufacturers O round. On High The association of cotton manufac turer of North Carolina have taken high ground in their voluntary prop osition for a better law regarding child labor in the mills. Among the manufacturers there are selfish and ignorant men as there are in all bodies or classes that comprise any number. But among the manufac turers, as among other representative classes, these numbers do not pre dominate. The association has shown that its dominant spirit is humane and patriotic. Its committee has proposed that the law be changed so that after the present year no child under thirteen shall be allowed to work in the mills, that none under fourteen be allowed to work unless they shall have attended four months school the proceeding year, and that none under fourteen be allowed to work after ten o'clock at night. This action is in strong contrast to the snarling attitude of certain well known manufacturers in the past, and we choose to believe, as stated above, that it is the feeling of the majority in and out of the associa tion. The leaders who have been working fur the cause of the chil- aren, win accept tins measure as proposed by the association, feeling that it is far better to go along with the sympathy and co-operation of the employers than against it. There ought, however.be some provision in the law that will make it somebody's duty to see that it is enforced: not necessary, of course, for the men who proposed it and are in sympathy therewith, but for the few snarlers who are not in accord with them. The association as a body has taken high ground, not necessarily in the amount of concession made, but in the determination to lead in the right as the situation appears to them. We are proud of their action. Good Old State. Nrs About Waihaw- I To LtfUlaturc.

We have never felt so proud of Old North Carolina as today. By the action of the legislature in unani mously voting half million dollars to provide for the mental defectives in this State, the commonwealth rose to the full height of its obligation and opportunity, which are always the measure of duty. In a private note to the editor of The Journal, Mr, Bickett, the author of the bill, says "It was really a thrilling sight the House when, on roll call, every man voted this $500,000." So it was. And it is thrilling to think that North Carolina is longer afraid to do its duty because it costs money. The measure is bigger step than we hai hoped for We had expected an adequate meas ure for the insane, but for the other classes of unfortunates we had ex pected to wait. But that we shall wait for none except so long as it takes mechanical skill to do its work is a stupendous proof of the reality of our Christianity It has always been a mystery to the Messenger and Intelligencer why a large number of papers in the State proceed, every two years, to jump on the legislature as soon as it meets There may be a few rascals and igno ramuses in every body of this sort that assembles, but it is hardly pos sible that the voters of the State would, as a rule, send other than good and intelligent men to repre sent them. The truth of the matter is that the present General Assembly is composed of a splendid body of men who, on the whole, are trying to do their duty to the Mate, and it is a shame that so much undeserved abuse should be heaped upon it, n'adesboro Messenger and Intelli gencer. Same way here. They must be capitalists and are afraid their inter ests are going to be hurt A Life Sentence for George Hasty Columbia Stat, 14tta. George Hasty, aged 21, will spend the rest of his natural life in the State prison. That is to say that such will be his fate unless his en terprising and industrious legal representatives can get a rehearing of Disease in some way. The supreme court yesterday rendered its decision affirming the action of the circuit court, and the decision means that the sentence of life imprisonment will stand. Hasty murdered Milan Bennett and A bolt Davidson at Gaflney on the morning of the 15th of Decern Der, I'juo. ine case was tried in Uaffney last March and created great interest, for the people who were members of a theatrical com pany and their brothors of the pro fession raised a fund to employ lawyers so that the accused might not escape punishment if he were aTuiltf. The trial was dramatic in many wars. Ine court house was crowd ed, several times there being 200 ladies present At times there was applause which Judge Memminger was forced to suppress. The sympathy of the people of Gaffney was with the deceased and the conviction of Hasty was received with pleasure. He killed the two men because they resented bit in sulting approach to two young women of the company. day evening of last week at the home of the bride s father. Mr. G. W. Chap man. The ceremony was performed by Rev. L T. Mann. Only a few rel atives and friends of the bride and groom were present, the marriage being only a quiet borne affair. After the ceremony the couple drove to the home of the groom s father, Mr. . R. Godfrey, where they were given a reception. Mrs. Zelphia Estridge died at the home of her stepdaughter, Mrs. Lou Harmon, in the vicinity of Rehobeth school house, last Friday morning Dropsy was the cause of her death, and from this disease she had suffer ed for more than three months. Her remains were buried Saturday at Wuhaw Baptist church. Her pas tor, Rev. J. L Mckinstry, conducted the funeral services. She was a little more than sixty years old. Several years ago she lived in this place, with her husband. Mr. Lum hstndge. who was one of the first merchants in Waihaw and w ho died a few years ago. Hall, the three-vear-old son of Mr and Mrs. H. J. McManus, died at their home in the Belair neighbor hood on Thursday of last week. It was buried at Waihaw Baptist church Friday. Rev. J.

Mills, who was drowned in Lanes creek Tuesday afternoon Feb., 5th was not found until early Saturday morning, the 'Jth. The search for the body was continued by practically the entire neighborhood, from the time of the tragedy until the body was found. It will be remembered that Mr. Mill's horse ran away with him and instead of crossing the bridge at a point on the creek known as the Rhody Station ford,, the animal dashed into the ford. The creek was two or three feet above fording and the water very swift, the result being that Mr. Mills was drowned. The Handcock mill is located about a mile down the creek from the point where Mr. Mills was drowned, and the body was not found until the mill pond was drawn off, which was done Friday night. The body was first seen about 8 o'clock Saturday morning snout tnree quarters oi a milejbelow the ford and some 300 yards above the mill dam. The funeral, which took place Sun day at 11 o'clock at Red Hill church was one of the saddest ever witness ed anywhere, the wife and mother of the deceased being particularly the objects of the tenderest sympathy of all. Ihere was an immense crow present.many attending from Wades- boro and other distant sections tne county, ine exercises were conducted in a most impressive manner by Rev. M. T. Steele, pastor of Ansonville circuit. ProSlcate Sreadtkrlrti. The wealth of many of the ancient Koraane waa reckoned far luto tbe millions.

A rate of two and a half cents per mile on railroads, whose gross earnings are less than 1,500 per mile, but in excess of f 1,000 per mile, on all railroad whose gross earnings are less than f 10U0 per mile of road, rate is prescribed not exceeding three cents per mile to be fixed by the North Carolina Corporation Commission. The bill requires first-class cars, abolishing the second-class fare, and provides for interchangeable mileage. Tbe senate has a bill of its own If it passes there will be a joint conference, and a final bill will be decided upon. It is hoped by those who are opposed to reduction that the senate will not come to the terms of the house bill, but it is not likely that the senate will make much modihcation. A bill giving police power to con ductors and station agents to arrest or put off intoxicated or profanne persons was passed by both houses. And a bill making it a misdemeanor for any person engaged directly or indirectly in operating trains to be drunk at the time, passed the senate. Mr. Stevens of Union took an able part in tbe discussion of the railroad bill, lie spoke a parable when he said the time had come to consider vested wrongs as well as vested rights. The senate yesterday passed a bill authorizing the Governor to spend four thousand dollars annually to employ counsel to represent North t arolina before the Inter-state com meree commission at Raleigh and to protect the State's interest relative to freight rates. esterdav. Speaker Justice from the floor, Mr. Mangum presiding, announced that Miss Man- I-ee, the daughter of the immortal R. K. I-ee, had honored the capital bv her pres ence, and moved that the house take a recess of ten minutes in her honor, A motion was made that a commit tee on the part of the House be ap pointed to wait on Miss le and re luest her presence in the hall of the House. The Speaker pro tern appointed Representatives Justice, IKiughton and Harshaw, who retired to the ro tunda, where they met Miss l.ee, who was being escorted from the Senate by Colonel Benehan Cameron, Sena tor Buxton and Representative (lal- loway of Oreen. As she came up the aisle, leaning on the arm of Mr. ! loway, the entire body rose. Capt. (lalloway, in a few appropriate re marks, formally presented Miss Lee, Speaker Mangum in turn presenting her to the Assembly, expressing the high honor of so doing, lor ten minutes a reception was tendered Miss Lee, sjieaker Justice presenting members. After the retirement, Mr. Dough ton, addressing the Speaker, said: "Mr. Speaker: I am requested and commissioned by Miss Lee to express her grateful thanks for the very cor dial and kindly Reception extended her by the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of North Carolina, and to say that these Iar Heels are great peeple, for w hose soldiers and civilians she entertains, like her father did, the profoundest admiration. Mr. Morton of New Hanover moved that the kind message of Miss Lee, communicated by Mr. Doughton, be spread upon the Journal as a part of the record of the day s proceedings.

A Case that the Legal Establish. meats of Ansoa County Htvl Been Wrestling With for Two and a Half Years. Mwaavr-UieUlsaT. After a legal battle extending over two and a half years tbe own oership of a speckled hound dog was settled by a jury in the Su ierior Court here Tuesday morn ing. The fight waa between Mr. Henderson lhtvi and IX B. Dunn, a well known colored man, both of Burnsville township. Kobin son and Caudle appeared for Da vis, who won the suit, and Mr. II. II. Mclvcndoo represented Dunn. Tbe tight comoieuced two years ago last July when Davis brought claim and delivery proceedings be fore Km. K. T. Mouroe for tbe dog which was tbeu in tbe posstmiou of Duan. Mr. Monroe decided that the dog was the property of Davis and the auiiual was turned over to him. Later Duon weut to Km. Monroe and asked that the case be reoened. Mr. Monroe agreed to this aud after another trial, the dog was again turned over to Davis. Dunn appealed to the Superior Court. liefore Judge Moore in the spring of l'.H)j Dunn gave bond and asked that the dog be deliv ered to him during the pendency of the suit, whereupon the court made an order directing the sheriff to torn tbe dog over to Dunn. Con stable J. II. Lee, of Uurnsville towuship, was delegated by the sherilT to carry out the order of tbe court, but after diligent search at the home of Davis and elsewhere failed to hud the cauine. Dunn then made aflidavit that Davis was obstructing the orders of the court and had him attached for contempt The attachment for contempt was heard before Judge Fred Moore last spring and dis missed. The next aud hist phase of the now celebrated dog case was the trial de novo, as the lawyers say, Tuesday morning. The eviieuce was to the effect that Davis first bought the dog from its origiual owner, but the animal strayed off aud took up at the home of Mrs. (iurley, after the dog had eaten her rations for some time sold it to Duun for f.'.OO. Then followed in due order the legal complica tions noted above. At the time C-oustuble Lee was looking for the dog, the animal, it is said, was hibereating iu Union county. Tbe dog Is hardly worth 15.00 at tbe outside, but Dunn, by the time he pays his lawyers and tbe cost of the several proceedings will probably be out considerably more than a huudred dollars.
