Tbe effort in Georgia to make it uulawful for children under twelve years of age. to work In the cotton mills, failed last week, as It should have done. This editor claims to know a little?or at least to have an opinion on the subject of child labor. BOfkwl hlmRplf when a child, and he be- ' _ lieves that no labor Is so healthful or easy on children as attending machines In a cot> ton mill. We do not think that H should be k mad? unlawful for children to labor. To 8 legislate against the children of operatives in a cotton mill 1s class legislation, which is B repugnant to our system of governmen t. ft Before the war we had one set of laws for K slaves, and another set for white men. Shall B we now have one set of laws for poor people and another for richer folks. V If the Legislators desire to regulate the labor of children, let the law apply to all H children alike, and not place a brand upon who labor In cotton mill*.
