NORTH CAROLINA NOT
AS BLACK AS PAINTED
Representative ofNrer York World t£
MM?®? “ **
Public Welfare Progress.
North Carolina, a heartless task-mas
ter of innocent and tender childhood, a
State that sweats the blood of its help
less children in its miHs and holds ma
terial prosperity higher than their wel
i fare, a cruel and benighted worshipper
of filthy lucre whose altar is "drenched
with the pathetic tears of babes ruth
lessly sacrificed—is this what Henry F.
j Pringle, special correspondent of The
New York World, investigating child la-*
bor conditions in this eouhtry. found
when he visited this State last month
and, incognito, nspected for two weeks a
number of cotton mills in North Caro
lina ?
It is not. On the contrary, Mr. Prin
gle was agreeably surprised at child la
bor conditions in this State. Ho thought,
it is true, that North Carolina's child
'labor law is defective in permitting the
ten-hour day. but he found that the law
is being enforced' with a thoroughness
which surprised him, and that ehild la
bor is more carefully supervised in
North Carolina than in any other South
ern State except Alabama, which lias an
eight-hour law.
Mr. Pringle was impressed witli the
. North Carolina plan whereby the Depart
ment, of Education and the State Boarjl
lof Health co-operate in the enforcement
of the child labor law by iusisting on
compulsory school attendance aud by
| giving medical examination to fliildren
| before they are allowed to work, jHe
complimented Mr. E. $\ Carter, exeen-
I tive secretary of the N. C. Child Wel-
I fare Commission, which supervises the
enforcement of the child labor law in
■ this State, on his careful certification of
’children employed. "He stated that he
| had seen no violation of the law during
. the two weeks when, uuknown. he in
! spected a 111111156? of cotton mills in
1 Mecklenburg and Gaston counties. And
lie spoke of the good "attitude of the mill
men whom he had met while in the
State. .
Mr. Pringle was in conference for sev
eral hours with the Commissioner of pub
lic Welfare, who is ex-officio chairman
of the N. C. Child Welfare Commission,
the other members of which arc the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction and
the Secretary of Hie State Board of
Health. He also visited the office of the
Commission, discussing (he stuation in
this State fully with Mr. Carter and
going over his records.
Before coming to North t'nroliiia. The
World's speciaYcorrespbndent had visited
a number of states in which conditions
of child labor are supposed to be worst,
notably Nebraska and Wyoming, with
their great beet fields, and Louisiana
with its shrimp canneries. From North
Carolina he went to Pennsylvania to in
spect the coal mines there.
Mr. Pringle will write a series of stor
ies on the cchild labor situation for The
World.
Child Buried This Meriting.
The funeral Willie SResl'ar was
held this morning at' ll^ticlock at the
home of her parents.’ M?- and Mrs.' S.
W. Preslar on Bell Avenue. The services
were conducted by Rev. G. A. Martin,
pastor of the First Baptist Church. In
terment was made in Oqkwood cemetery.
Many friends of the deceused and her
parents were present at the services,
and the grave was covered with a
blanket of beautiful flowers, sent as
last tokens of love by the many friends
of the child and her parents.
Too Much Faith.
A southern darkey becapie converted
and for some time his religious fervor
was a matter for awe among the breth
ren. One night, however, he .showed
up at meeting with a lugubrious face.
“Ise backsiided.'’ he anounced mourn
fully from the platform.-, “Ise a doubtin'
sinner. I ain't git de faith in divine
providence what Brother Johnson's got.
"Brother Johnson he got such faith
in divine providence dat, jes’ to show
off. dat man climb a llghtnin rod in a
thunderstorm. Me, I_, stays down be
low on terracotta. Kassuh, Ise back
siided.”
i
In England a tradition exists that the
ghost of Lady Jane Grey drives around
the grounds of Grndgate House, in
lieicestershire, each Christmas Eve. in
| a phantom carriage drawn by four
I spectral gray horses.
The possibility of making smokeless
fuel by the low-temperature enrbouiza
tiou of coal in vertical retorts is being
investigated by the British Government
Research Station at Greenwich.
On the island of Madura, in the
Dutch West Indies, the girls marry at
an extremely early age. In fact, one who
is unmarried at fourteen is loo’-cd upon
as an olid maid.
