'--' : t ' I BE T -' Wuhtngtoni Feb. 24.-As sordid and tragic a.tale f the poverty of labor as ever told m a government poblication was unfolded in the report onhe stand afi6f lvlngTmOTgSouther,n' cottoa mill workers msjs public by the, Bureau of, LaborvGovamment investigators selected 2f typieat Southern 6tton mill famDlee and studied their incomes and expenditures in detail; for the yeaV 1908. Iralmost every ca9 these conditions were found: The father and two or three, of the older chi dren at work in the mill, Vet the total annual income of the family breadwinners is often less than $1,000 a year. The account of the company store runs steadily abovo the family income. At the end of the yeas a debt, which is met by an appeal to a loan shark. To meet the added demand of interest and principal of the debt another child is sent to. Work, and soon until the trapped family has sent all its children into the maw of the mill. Then the report records shocking statistics of disease and death decimating the stun ted, weakened population. "In other industries,! says the re port, "father may feel that he can nev erhope for anything more for himself, but he can at leaat plan and struggle fof 8 better life for his children. Here the mill demands the children as wall a the fathers. The so called normal family father with wife and children, dependent upon him for support is not found among the 21 .typical families studied. Large families are the rule, the average of those studied being 8.5 members, in eluding boarders. 1 rie average num ber of wage-ernerB was 3 8. "Corn bread, biscuit, pork and cof fee form a large part of the diet of all families. Pork means fat pork, sailed. contains very little lean. Nowhere was any expenditure noted for alcoholic liquors. "Over 91 per cent, of all operatives live in company-owned houses. It is a common pcqtirxence joJndt he mother nu me smau cnuaren, evidently id sufficiently warmed, huddled about small fiere in one of the rooms. Measles, maiarial fever, typhoid. pneumonia, skin diseases and tubercu losis are prevalent. That the people are not healthy is shown by the fact that every family studied was obliged either to employ a doctor or buy medi cines. The people prescribe tor their own ills and are burdened with patent mediciner'and cure-alls. Fiom thsir pitiful incomes the mill workers pay surprisingly large sum to burial associations, being willing to un dergo the greatest sacrifices in food and clothing to save themselves the disgrace of burial in the potter's field. Almost every family could spare from Its pinching necessities its mlus for church or charity. One wretched poor1 family gave nearly ten per ceo', of its income.

In recent y eels big crops and small crop have alternated with a regularity that excites comment. The fact that there have been swings' in the ero in recent, years of 1,000,000 to 3,000.000 makes the weather Hews and news about crops preparations at this time of special interest Some Geo rgia reports are to the-effect that 1 the season is remarkably ' backward and similar reports come from other parts of the belt It goes without saying tbat if the start is actually much delay ed and really bad it will, as usual, be exaggerated for speculative effect n the oi her band, the visible supply of American cotton is the largest 1 ever known and with prices at their present level it is not believed that any serious or ide-spread attempt will be made to cut dowh the acreage materially. The reeent decline, too, of S3 a bale, within a couplf of days, has rather chilled the ardor for bullish speculation. If the grairt dWstrisw inglaad eannot be averted, that loo, will act as a serious damper But cotton 'has -some - strong friends who believe it' will ultimately go to 12 cents.

Basnight Hdw Co. Should Enforce This One Too. Now that the city ordinadces are be ing enforced so rigidly it would be an excellent idea for the following con tained in section 93, chapter 4 of the city ordinances to be pat into effect. The railroad official and the public in general have bbeo caused much incon venience by the laxity of the enforce meat of this law: ''The assembling of persons on any sidewalk in the city, or or the platforms and passways about the railroad depots and boat landings, so as to obstruct the free passage of persone and freight along the same, Is forbidden, and ever) person violating this section shall bs fined two dollars Jor each and every of fence." 1 To the Citizens of New Bern.
