Columbia, July 31:?The child labor laws of the State do not apply to plants for packing tobacco land putting it in shape for the market, under an opinion rendered by Attorney General Peoples. "Answering your letter of the 24th inst." he wrote Col E J Watson,Commissioner of Labor, Commerce and Industry, "I beg to advise that the child labor laws regulating the employment of children in factories,mills and textile establishments in this State do not apply to plants for packing tobacco and putting it in shape for the mar- | ket. I do not think, therefore,that it interferes with the employes bring- = ing their children with them to help r In the preparation of tobacco for the market in the plants at Lake City, Mullins and Darlington." DREADS DRAFT; ATTEMPTS SUICIDE Death Rather Than Army for York Negro With Tickht 258. York, July 30:?Despondent because he will be summoned this week to appear in York next Monday for examination as to his fitness for army service and dreading the idea of going to war, John Wilson, No 258, a negro, of the Hoodtown /* a. - iL * 8ecuon, trie nrsi persuu 111 vne weauern district of York county to be drawn under the selective draft law Friday, July 20, attempted to commit suicide last week by hanging himself. Wilson, who is about twenty-five years of age and who is said to hardly possess average intelligence, is in the employ of Mr William Hayes, of the Hoodtown section. It is understood that he has been worrying much since he learned that he was] the first man drawn for army duty in the western district. According to a story told by several negroes who live in the neighborhood in which Wilson resides, the negro tied a noose around his neck and was preparing to suspend himself when other parties interfered.1 That occurred early last week and since then Wilson is said to have made two other unsuccessful attempts to end his life. He told several persons Friday that he had] three balls in his pistol and "I am going to put one in my wife and an other in my child and the other inj myself before I let them take me to war." Wilson is being watched closely. People who know him believe that the draft and the idea of going to war has so preyed on his mind that he has been driven insane temporarily at least, and there is little possibility now that he will be accepted for army service.
