THE WESTERN SENTINEL, AUGUST 11. . r-..;t. ., . ........... , .. - , CONCURRENCE BY r HOUSE EXPECTED WjD Probably Agree-to the Sen ate Amendment to theiChild ' Labor Measure. Washington,. Aug. 9r An agree ment between the souse and the sen ate on one amendment was all that stood in the war today of the enact ment, of the child labor bill. The measure passea mo kbwwhw and now goes to the house' where it already has been passed. The house la expected to concur In 1 the only amendment adopted by the senate. It won Id bar all good man ufactured by children from inter, state shipment. PROVISIONS OF THE CHILD LABOR BILL PASSING 8ENATE. ' The Southern senators failed In. their fight against the child labor bill. The measure was passed by an overwhelm ing majority, most all of the Itepubll ' cans voting for it. ',. ' . ' -" The Overman amendment to-postpone the operation ot the bill for two years went down in defeat, too. The bill as it passed the Senate pro- I vldes in part: That no producer, man j facturer, or dealer shall ship or dellv- er for shipment in interstate or for i eign commerce any article or commod ity the product of any mine or quarry, situated in the United States, in which within thirty days prior to the time of the removal of such product therefrom children under the age of , sixteen years have been employed or permit ted to work, or any article or commod ity the product ot any milL cannery, v workshop, factory, or manufacturing establishment, situated in the United i States, in which withm thirty days , prior to the removal of, such product therefrom children under the age of fourteen years have; been employed or permitted to work more than eight i hours in any day, or more than six days in any week, or after the hour of ' eve( o'clock post meridian, or before I the hour of six o'clock ante meridian; ' provided, that a prosecution and con ; vlction of a defendant for the shipment of any article or commodity under the conditions herein prohibited shall be a bar to any further prosecution against the same defendant for shipments or deliveries tor shipment of any such ar ticle or commodity before the begin ning Of said prosecution. "Section 8 That the Attorney Gen eral, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Labor, shall consti tute a board to make and publish from t'me to time uniform rules and regula tions for carrying out the provisions of : ..this act.. . ' "Section 3 That for the purpose Of securing proper enforcement of this act the Secretary of Labor, or any per son duly authorized fcy him, shall have authority to enter and inspect at any time mines, Quarries, mills, canneries, workshops, factories, manufacturing establishments, and other places of which goods are produced or held for interstate commerce ; and the Secre tary ot Labor shall have authority to employ such assistance for the purpos es of this act as may from time to time be authored by appropriation or oth er law." - ' The reasons given for the desire of the mill men to have the Overman .. amendment adopted are: "There are three principal depart ments la a cotton mill card room, spinning room and weave room. Ma chinery m these rooms is so "balanced that each department is able to keep up with the department preceding it The spinning room is the only room that employs children. This bill pro vides that children between the ages of 14 and 16 years ot age shall not .' -work over eight hours per week. Now, In order for the spinning room to keep up with the other two departments of the mill the card room and the weave room and the spinning room running forty-eight hours per week, whereas the weave room and card room run sixty hours per week, as at present, in nnlr to set the same amount of oro- ductlon that they are now getting, it will be necessary to increase ine size ol the spinning room 20 per cent. De livery on this new machinery cannot be secured under 12 or 18 months. 4 Then, again, some of the mills hive old ahead for more than a year, bas ing their production on the present ' hours of labor." .

Aug. ..Matthew Hale, acting chairman of the Progressive na tional committee, announced last night that he will endeavor to re-elect Presi dent Wilson. He takes this stand, he asserted, because more progressive legislation has been put into effect by Mr. Wilson than by any other presi dent , - "Personally. I shall, of course, sup port the Progressive electors in those few states in which they will be placed on the ballot," Mr. Hale's statement said.

They fairly bristle with wit. Hundreds of pamphlets have been written in answer to the universally asked question: "Why! Is an officer's mustache?" Under the title ot "Hair Apparent" one article today declares that com pulsory service has produced a hair raising problem, as the young officers are naturally interested in keeping a stiff upper lip. '- Mustaches may be grouped under three heads, or noses: 'Military; mag nificent and morbid. The military brand is very curt. It resembles eith er a tooth brush, an eyebrow,. or a demi-eemi-quaver. Charlie Chaplins are barred. The Guards, who set the standard for Up. adornment, canned that variety while it was yet aborn ing. . J. The magnificent mustache, not much in vogue now, obscures the wearer's Identity. Like the stomacher, it is a fashion of bygone days, discarded be cause of its heavy fringe, x The most admired face iollage ot the moment is the mustacne morbid. It combines the best of the military, and magnificent yet possesses a charm peculiar to itself. Early In life it rep resents a venial sin, a taint smudge upon a clear surface. It is cultivated with abandon and while many would prefer other types the only thing they can do is grin and wear it, avoid mii rors and excitable babies and wait for a gas attack when respirators make all mustaches equal in the sight ot HOW WOMAN'S PARTY SAYS IT CAN CRU8H THE ENEMIES - Twelve suffrage states elect one fifth of the electoral college and cast one-third of the votes necessary to elect a president In the last five - presidential elec tions not one,of these twelve has gone steadily for any one party. In 1912, a change of 88 votes would have made California's elec toral votes Democratic Instead of Progressive; 376 votes Wyoming, and 55 Idaho, Republican instead ot Democratic. . . In none of the equal suffrage states would a change ot more than 7.8 per cent of the total vote have been re quired to swing the presidential elec tion of 1913. For the congressional elections the same situation prevails. ; " her M. etedmte Btacttre : a BT dally for Rsirfoka ul In. trmdlt station connecting wlta throng-h oar noun, of Roanck. 1:10 p. k. dalljrthrouat 'ri atop. pin- oalrUt MartfaviUad Bocky Mount. crrrln- olcopinc lr to Hr ribur.

' Chatham Directing the Work of aeaning Up the Wrecked Woolen Mill Plant- Heaviest Losers. Elkin, Aug, 10. No place In the flood-stricken district is talcing the matter more heroically than the lit tle town of Elkin. A number of the losers are going about re building on higher ground, while others who will not be able to re build for some time do not seem to be worrying about their . condition. . As previously re ported tne Chatham Woolen Mills were the heaviest - losers in the town. . . There was a report right after the flood that the i company might . decide to move the mills to Winston-Salem, where the com pany now has a branch mill. When this became known in Elkin a petition was circulated by the citi sens of the town asking that 1 the mill be re-built here. v ! The stockholders have ' decided to re-build on higher ground and the capacity of the mill will probably be increased. The statement . that the mills were not to be moved from Elkin was received with great rejoic ing by everybody In the town. Mr. Hugh Chatham, of Winston-Salem, who recently declined' to run for the Senate in Forsyth county, so that he could give his entire attention to the re-building of the company, is In El kin directing the work of cleaning up the wrecked building, drying the stock on hand, and making arrange ments tor the erection of the new factory buildings., At present ; part of the machines 'are running in the upper stories of the old building and a -force Is engaged in washing, blan kets that were fished out of the mud. Holes' were knocked in ' the factory walls, at one . place by a box car loaded with blankets, and others by drift wood, etc. Large quantities ot cotton and wool were in the store rooms on the ground floor' and were soaked thru with water. This cot ton and wool has been scattered over the floors of tobacco warehouses and other places to dry. A force of men are at work today sorting the dam aged stock and removing it to storage rooms for future use. A large portion of this wet stock will be absolutely unfit for use. . '.-V ' . List of Heavy Losers . A list of the heaviest losers are as follows: Elkin Ice plant, building flooded and large amount of lum ber washed away. The plant. Is now running part of their machinery and making some ice. The Elkin Livery Stables ' were badly damaged, their principal loss being harness and vehicles. 'The part of the building washed away is to be built back. The Bates Blacksmith and Machine shop was entirely swept away, to gether with all the machinery. This concern will build back, probably on the old site. The town calaboose was completely washed away. Fort unately the building was empty. The Myrtle Hotel a new brick building recently constructed, wsN badly wrecked. It is not known whether the hotel will be opened for guests at any .- time soon. The Misses Smith, who ran the hotel, are now taking guests in the old ' Burgess Hotel building on Main street The Peo ple's Warehouse, a new brick struct ure, was completely swept away, to gether with a number ot new buggies that were stored in it . Boles' Livery stable. Including a Targe, quantity of feed, etc, was swept away. The Carolina Cross Anns Company, man ufacturers of telephone . brackets, was completely washed away, to gether with a large amount of finish ed and unfinished goods. A grocery store belonging to C. O. Mathis was washed several hundred yards and lodged against the Woolen Mills. A large part of the stock remained intact and was ' rescued later. At least fifteen dwelling houses, princi pally occupied by negroes, were washed away. The bridge connecting Elkin and JonesvfUe was washed and a terry is now in use. A number ot homes were flooded to the second story and much personal property ruined. Practically all the freight in the Southern depot was water soaked and much of it completely ruined. W. B. Mlnlck tc Son, lumber dealers, were heavy losers, a large part or their stock on hand being washed away. The Elkin Roller Mills were also heavy losers on account of a large amount of flour and meal being water soaked. The property losers in Elkin are not discouraged and are planning re construction on a more permanent basis than before. It will only be a few years until traces of the flood in the town will be lost, but the thoughts of that awutl Saturday night and Sunday will linger. TRIAL OF MURDER CASE IN IREDELL CONTINUED Statesville, Aug. 10. The ease of Homer Matheson, charged with first degree murder, which was set' for trial In Iredell superior court today, goes over to the next term ot court. Matheson, it will be recalled, shot his brethaMn-law, Claude Warren, while the latter was plowing on his farm In north Iredell, and later confessed his crime to officers, but plead not guilty when arraigned in' court. His de fense,' It is understood, will be im paired mental condition. The case is continued on sccount of v the inability of Solicitor Clement to prosecuta it The solicitor Is cow fined to his home in Salisbury with illness which is feared will be seri ous. Judge Carter did not think It right to go Into the trial without the solicitor and for this , reason contin ued the case till nex. term. Work on the civil esses set tor trial this week wss completed todsy and after the decision was reached about too continuance of the Matheson case the court adjourned "tbf 'lbs term HjSt SUNDAY- SCHOOL CLASS PICNIC AT QUAINT HOME BethanJa, ' Aug. 10. Tuesday after noon the primary class taught by Mrs P. Walter Grabbs enjoyed a picnic at the quaint old home ot "Uncle" Willis and "Aunt" ViokrLash. ' "Aunt" Vlck's father helped to haul the stones for the foundation of our Moravian church at Bethamla. These hospitable old col ored people made the evening partlcu larly pleasant for the children in many ways. The water from the nice, cool spring was very much enjoyed, as was also the playing on the large, grassy lawn-under the shade ot the beautiful old trees.' All returned to the village happy and .light-hearted, retiring, at night with : pleasant ' remembrances that . will linger with them. On the same evening . the Junior Phllathea Class of Falrview Moravian church, Winston-Salem, picnicked . at this place. Miss Mattle Norburn, who has been visiting Dr. and Mrs. E. 7. Strickland, has returned to her home in Illinois. i Misses Alta Transou and .

' AIMED HIGH BUT DIDN'T LAND JOB The man in jail at Durham, and who cant get bond, for attempting to pull a prize fight had higher ambi tions," The TBun says: : That it had really been his inten tion to" apply for the position of phy sical director for the Y.

Hea- som, held under 9500 for conducting boxing bouts illegally. : , Heasom said that he would have left the city prior to the fight, hut that he had hoped to be able to land the association job. ' Before coming to Durham the prls oner states' that he traveled with the RingJIng .Brothers and John Robinson shows as an acrobat and was also at one time one of the instructors for Anthony Barker, the well known New Tork athletic director. Tuesday morning Heasom gave short exhibition of muscle work to an audience composed of one newspaper man, and the jailer. The muscles of his back stand In great cords; his arms are huge knots ot muscles, that extend through his body. Any form of acrobatic work, ac cording to Heasom, Is dead easy, and to show that a good acrobat is at home wherever there is room enough to turn a backward Dip he flipped. Heasom was feeling badly Tuesday; probably! on account of the excessive heat he said. REV. W. M. BILES . AN APPRECIATION. A well-spent life needs no eulogy, even from a friend. ; However, in mo ments of sad bereavement the heart is touched with tender; feeling and we are inclined to gtve vent to expressions of sympathy.' In. the death of Rev. W. M. Biles, which occured at Canton, N. C, Saturday, August 5, 1916, the Con ference lost a consecrated minister and the community which he served a valuable citizen. I knew Billy Biles long and : welL His parents, Mr. Frank Biles and Mrs. Donle Biles, lived near the "Village of Palmersville, Stanly county, N. C, and were highly esteemed and substantial people. His mother, "Cousin- Donle," as she was often called, was a splendid type of true womanhood, intelligent and kind ly: his father, sturdy and dependable. It was my pleasure to. visit this good home when the deceased was about twelve years of age, and the father then referred to nis son as his "preach er boy." . . ... v During his pastorate at Salem and Southslde, more than a -dosen years ago, be had an appointment a Sunday afternoon to preach at Crews' chapel, to which, by invitation, I accompanied him. On the way we talked freely. The conversation turned on the work of the ministry and in substance he said he wanted to make money, to accumu late, tried to stifle the call, but it was imperative, and he could not obtain re lief and secure real happiness until he surrendered his will to that of God, which he promptly did. How well he performed the work as a divine mes senger let his charges at Kernersville, Salem and Southslde,' Burkhead, at Winston-Salem, Newton, Canton, and perhaps othess, testify. Once having taken hold of the gos pel plan, he turned not back. .He was a prodigious worker, a great church and parsonage builder. He was a plain man of the people, a friend to all, and the people loved him. "He being dead yet speakets.
