As Ranking Democrat Postmaster-General
Steals Chief Justice
Clark's Thunder.
Raleigh, Jan. 30. It is pointed out
here with referent to the recommenda
tion of Postmaster-General Hitchcock
for government operation of telegraph
lines as. a part of the pdetal service
that he is wrongfully credited with a
new proposition, the fact being that
twenty years ag6 Chief Justice Walter
Clark, of the North Carolina Supreme
Court and now aspirant for successor-
ship to Senator K, M. Simmons, in the
United States Senate made a speech
aivocalinf jmt this thing, and the then
Postmaster-General John Wanamaker,
asked of him and was granted the pri
vilege of incorporating this speech in
h:B recommendation to Congress for
this government operation of telegraph
lines, the speech and recommendation
of the Postmasler-General being trans
mitted to Congress through President
Harrison. It seems, further, that this
speech by Judge Clark was afterwards
oublishtd as a Senate document for
general distribution.
The aerefment reached between the
four avowed candidates for the Demo
cratic senatorial nomination, at a con
ference here hetwepn Senator Simmons
and Messrs. Aycock, Kitchin and
Clark, is variously commented upon by
politicians. While the. gentlemen
named united in the agreement to "ask
the Democratic State executive com
mittee that it recommend to the State
convention, (the date for the meeting
f which has not yet been fix d that it
order a senatorial pi imsry to be held
at the general election in November,
it is pointed out lhat there is a signifi
cant silence concerning a second prim
arv. No well po.-led person for a mo
ment supposed that either of the four
aspirants named, and there may be
anolhf-r entry, can possibly poll a ma
jority, vote fn the firat primary. In
deed, it is generally estimated that
Simmons. Avcock and Kitchen will
poll very nearly an equal number of
votes and that Chief Juntice Clark's
vote will surprise some of the politi
cians who have been disposed to count
him out of the running. For instance.
after the senatorial aspirant reached
their agrement, the Federation of
Railway Employes at a meeting of the
union here, unequivocally endorsed
Judge Clark for the senatorbhip. There
are many who believe that the selection"!
of the successor to Senator Simmons
will yet be made I y the legislative cau
cub early in January.
Simmons has gained strength wond
erfully since it became understood that
f re elected he will be the next chair
man oi the senate committee on n
nance, beniitor tiaiiey, the present
ranking Democrat on the committee
being eliminated by his refusal to "laud
for election to the senate again, and
Mr. Simmons being the next Democrat
in rank on that important committee,
Indeed it looks as if Simmors will sue
ceed himself, whether the legislative
caucm or a sec6nd primary, if it should
be held, is chirged with the selection

GALLEY SLAVE ;
i Nearly All "Steel Company's
Plants With Labor Employed. I
Washington, D. .. Jan 80. Follow
ing a sweeping investigation covering
almost every great steel manufacturing
plant in the United States, the Depart
raentof Commerce and Labor, in a; re
port now ready for the 8enate, accuses'
practically every corporation of main
taining a system of labor almost as
cruel and unnecessary as the galley
slavery of ancient .times.
Making the direct statement that
steel corporations 'have instituted a
policy of eliminating skilled artisans,
and potting in their, p'ace the lowest
form of unskilled workmen, who are
paid 14 cents per hoar, the report states
that'the men are at times forced to re
main on duty without relief as long" as
24 hours at a stretch, and . that in some
plants 18 hour, tricks are the rule, rath
er than the exception.
One-fifth of the 173,000 employes, the
report says, of all blast furnaces, steel
works, and rolling mills work 84 hours,
or twelve hours a day for seven days
per week. Many of them go to their
homes "only to eat and sleep.." .In
May 1910, the period covered by the in
vestigation; it was found that 60,000
furnace and steel mill employes worked
regularly seven days a week, a,nd that
34,000 worked 84 hours or more a week.
'Added significance attached- ta the
condition of labor here described," says
fie r-'port, "when we consider that the
general t ndency for yeara past hi s
been toward a shorter working day.
Years ago the ten-hour day became al
most a staniard. Since that time far
ther reductions have brought the work'
ing day to nine, and in many rases to
eight hours, and this reduclii n Tias
been accompanied by a part of holiday
on Saturday."

Hundreds of People Taking Ad-
' vantage'of the Hookworm
Dispensary.
BY DR. C. f. STROSNIDER.
We have examined 1,040 people in
this county and found about 50 per ct.
of them infected with Hookworm dis
ease. 2,054 people have visited the dis
pansaries to observe our work and re
ceive sanitary instructions.
interesting Observations of the Dis
pensary Director,
1.. The faith with which our country
people cover great distances over bad
roads and paths, and often without re
specting the inclemenpy of the weath
er, is the best practical demonstration
of the result of the cure of Hookworm
Disease.
2. To see the great number of boys
and girls between the ages of 7 and 20
years, wno are dwarfed physically and
mentally, moves one to the very depths
of his or her sympathy. Example:
find hundreds of school pupils between
the age of 12 and 17 years, in the sec
ond and third grade school work, to say
nothing of their pale, dull and listless
expression.
3 The young, furnish the greatest
number of patients, that is between
the ages of 10 and 30 years.
.4. Any one who has had the opportu
nity to observe the daily labor of a dis
pensary will be convinced of the fact
that hundreds of people desireous of
strength to earn their living are thus
returned to their labor, and that these
peopb, although in the flower of their
youth, were previously unable to yield
the full value of a day's work.
b, l his disease attacks our people in
their tender years, . and does its gieat-
est harm to the greatest number during
their schooling and developing period,
thereby impoverishing their physique
and mental accomplishments.
6. Therefore, the chief duty of our
officials. State and county, is to watch
over the health of the people, because
sickly people lacks energy and initi
ative, and thus can be neither free nor
prosperous.
These dispensaries will be open be
tween the hours of 9;30 a. m. and 3;30
m. at the following places :
