The Keating bill had been drawn largely fot the purpose of crippling the cotton mill industry ef the South. In its original, form It wu so manifestly aimed at this par tlcolar Industry, that for very shame Bake It was amended so as to take in ether manufacturing interests in the North and New England, and to some extent the child augarbeet -workers In Kr.. Keating' own State,.: i Justice uay delivered ,the opinion -which nul lifies the intentions, of the tranters and backers of the. MIL. He held that "over Interstate transportation or Its incidents, regulatory powers of Congress. Is. ample, -but the produc tion of articles Intended for inter- . .1. - ' ' ' " ofci , ,. Wtini " state commerce is a matter'of local regulation." Justice Holmes, who disagreed with the majority of the court, held that the Keating law did ; ot -"".meddle", with, anything belong-, wing to the States, "which may regu-j , lata their internal affairs and their domestic, 'commerce as they like, but - wnen tney seek to send their prod acts across the State line they are no longerwlthin their rights." It will be remembered that the amendments which were -forced to the bill were broadened to Include labor in the department stores and canneries, and made the handling of , cooda 'froth mil la tn whlxh hiii i. . bor was employed in violation of the law by department or other stores an Indictable offense.

This would confine the -cotton mills of the South to a strict- ly home business. They could neither export goods abroad nor send goods into the markets of any other State.

Greensboro Record. The club women of North Caroli na, In convention assembled, have -taken a solemn pledge to never, so long as they live, buy anything that they know is made in Germany. That is the kind of warfare that . will prove the death-blow to Germa ny's dream of commercial conquest. If all the men of all the allied nations will adopt a similar policy and ad here to It, it will be a rebuke far more lasting than killing a few mil lions of its fittest men and sinking Its women to the lowest level of the savage. Goods carrying tbe trade mark, "Made in Germany" should not be allowed on the shelves of any American merchant. Laws making such display a punishable offence may yet be enacted in response to a growing sentiment against, everything suggesting. the taint of the Hun and the spread of disease cultures under the name of German kultur. ; TVfceaercr Yoo Need a General Toole .

Spies and Fishermen Help Supply and Signal German" I - Captain " ' BASES OH IIEUTRAl IAIID t Craft Hunt In Groups and Have Ac curate Information ef Sailings Temptation -Too Much for Fishermen. Home. The U-boat offensive is Ptlll serious In the Mediterranean. Sub marine bases exist in neutral conn tries, where Information, provisions and even petrol are supplied to the Gennan commanders. Some time ago three Sicilian fishermen were charged with supplying provisions to an enemy submarine off Augusta. In the course of the trial before the military tribunal at Catania evidence was brought to show that while the fishermen were out at sea In their boat a submarine rose to the surface and ordered the three men to go on board. The commander then informed them that two would be kept as hostages while the third was to go ashore in the boat and get the fresh provisions needed. If he returned with them with in two or three hours the two fisher men would not only be released but also compensated; otherwise they would be killed. The man was warn ed that if he Informed the Italian au thorities the fate of his two compan ions would be the same. Naturally the man obeyed. He returned with the provisions within the appointed time and was well .paid for his trou ble and faithfulness. Of course tbe two hostages were released. Evident ly the fishermen's story wss corroborat ed by the evidence of other men, as the tribunal acquitted the two hostages and sentenced the man who got tbe provisions to ten years bard labor fer neglecting to Inform tbe authorities. Cannot Resist Temptation. There are thousands of fishermen tn Italy who lead a hard life without earning a living wage and who can not resist tbe temptation of making money. Besides, they are easily In timidated by the threats of the com manders of submarines, who often sink fishing boats and murder the fish ermen for the sake of imposing obedi ence. It. Is reasonably suspected that fishermen aid submarines. In many ways. They warn them of the ap proach 'of war vessels and mystery ships and give them valuable Informa tion about sailings and courses of con voys. Possibly If the allies compen sated fishermen as well as the com manders of submarines do satisfac tory results would follow. Of course for obvious reasons full particulars about the activity of sub marines in the Mediterranean cannot be divulged. There have been Instan ces of U-boat 8 entering territorial wa ters at night and exchanging signals with people on shore. Until recently enemy citizens were allowed to re side In seaport towns and even de serted villages on the coast, so that all they needed to communicate with sub marines was a light. Even now Aus trinns and Germans are interned in Sardinia, and more ships have been sunk by submarines off this Island than anywhere else In the Mediter ranean. The mnil boat between Sardinia and Civitavecchia was torpedoed in broad daylight only 20 miles off the coast of Sardinia. Although she remained afloat for three hours and the wireless operator remained on board until the Miip suns ana communicated with a nearby naval station, unfortunately no torpedo boats were available to rescue tbe pr-sxengers!, inrludins many sol diery, v-lio perished. There seems tc be, no doubt that the commander of the submarine had been Informed thai rescue was impossible, as otherwist the torpedoed mail boat Tvnuld hnvt been sunk by shell fire. Cease to Be Dangerous. Other skips have been sunk both off Sardinia and in other parts of th Mediterranean very close to the coast under similar circumstances. It is significant that whenever enemy citi zens or enemy agents and spies have been discovered and arrested in cer tain localities where ships were being sunk by submarines these zones ceased immediately to be dangerous. Experi ence jovs that patrolling the route of convoys is not sufficient unless the coast Is well watched so that signal ing to submarines Is prevented. It seems that U-boats hardly ever use their wireless even among themselves lest their messages should be inter cepted and their whereabouts discov ered. The crew of a ship recently sunk at night by a submarine reported to the authorities that when they had taken to the boats and were pulling away from the sinking ship the submarine was exchanging flash signals by means of an electric lamp. The night was very dark, and at first the answering signals were not visible, but shortly afterward the flashes of at least five submarines could clearly be seen. "They were like glow worms over the sea," one of the men said describing the signals. Evidently submarines now keep close together, so that mu tual protection can be afforded and convoys instead of single ships attacked.

Died. (From The Gazette, June 24, 1887.) Mrs. Mary Henderson, wife of Mr. Wm. Henderson, died June 19, 1887, in the 6 2d year of her age. She was for many years a great sufferer, and yet endured all her afflictions and the infirmities of age with ft remarkable degree of Christian submission. Her solace and support from the begin ning of her afflictions was the Scrip tural truth that all things work to gether for good to them that love God." This passage of Scripture she inserted in her diary in early life, as her religious motto. She connected herself with the church about 64 years ago, and was an exemplary member at the time of her death of Olney Presbyterian church. She had seen Jesus so long on earth by the eye of faith that when the divinely appointed time arrived her great de sire and prayer was: "Lord, now lettest thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word." Luke 2:29. Her death was peaceful and happy. She leaves an afflicted husband and three affectionate and faithful daugh ters to mourn her death. But thev are comforted with the assurance that she is "now in the Christian's eternal home in Heaven." CIXDKKS AND SWIM'S. Item fathered in the (lid I'lirnace ei)ililorhc'ol.

A Few Itema Gathered Here There at Dallas. and (From The Gazette, June 24, 1887.) DALLAS, June 23, 1887. The Dallas Light Infantry had a prize drill target-shooting here on last Saturday. The prize-drill prize was awarded to Mr. B. F. Tipton, of The Current, and the prize for the best shooting was won by Mr. Cbas. G. Pasour, but it took the smashing of the "bull's-eye" to secure it.

"The lawn party last Friday night was a decided success," Bay the young folks who were present. The rain last night did the crops a great deal or good, as they were needing rain badly. HOME ON LEAVE. (By F. B. Meyer, D. D.) We live in wonderful times, when every day brings Its thrill of danger, joy, or sorrow. One of the most thrilling experiences of these strange days is meeting the leave trains from the front. To most of my readers that word conjures up wonderful memories. There is the happy shock of receiving the unexpected telegram which tells you that your loved -one is coming "home. It is only for t few days, but what a throb of thank fulness aad joy the news brings, Then there is the hurried Journey to me station, the wait, sometimes long, sometimes short, for meeting a leave train Is a haphazard adventure, and one has to take one's chance. There Is no time-table to consult for the leave trains. All one knows Is that "Some time today, some one is com ing, from somewhere in France. Outside the arrival platform stands a patient waiting throng, though the glad excitement of eyes and lips be lies the stolidity of their waiting at titude. At last from hundreds of throats the words spring: "Here they come!" Through the gates pours the great stream of men, heavy-la den with kit and baggage, mud-stain ed and weary, with drawn faces, but with smiling eyes and cheery laugh ter. Out they come, and from the crowd on the other side of the path rushes a gray-haired woman. 'John!' "Mother!" cries a dazed young sol dier. "I never expected you to meet me. How did you know what time to come?" He gives her a hearty kiss, and the crowd laughs and cheers in sympathy. And now the greetings are fast and furious. "There's our Walter!" cries a shrill voice from the rear, and the crowd makes way for a little family party to break through. What happy reunions are to be seen here! Husbands and wiyes meeting, after the long and cruel separation and suspense; brothers and sisters, mothers and sons. An epic poem could be written on the (oniinc in of the leave trains. Iondon, England. Happiness. I used to think it w as preat to disre gard happiness, to press to a high goal, careless, disdainful of it. 15ut now I see there is nothing so great ns to be capable of happiness to pluck It out of each moment, and, whatever hap pens, to find, that one can ride as gay and buoyant on the angry, menacing, tumultuous waves of life as on those that glide and glimmer under a clear sky ; that it is not defeat and wretch edness which comes out of the storm of adversity, but strength and calm ness.
