In Asheville, N. C. ?
Aflhevillef_ March 25. ? With de
mands made on them f?>r ar. ir.v.ic4i>u
?fi approximately $1 per day from
?aany of the building trades Onions,
nffatractors and .sub-contractors of
Aaheville are facing a serious situa
tion in the stoppage of new building
enterprises from what they claim are
prohibitive costs of both labor and*
?tutorials.
Surrey of the situation showed con
siderable sentiment among contrac
tors for an organized effort to clear
wp the high prices of both lab'or and
materials, if property owners will
Mtand by the contractors in such an
undertaking.
Bricklayers effective May 1 want
IH1 per day instead of $10 and are
already getting this wage from sev
eral of the big building jobs, it is
fiaid, as a result of competition over
the need for such service. Their
atands must go* infer eflR^X?tg?nerally
mi May 1 and also include time and
x half for over time from -4:30 o'clock
?util G p.m. and after that hour'
double time. *
Painters are asking for an increase
ftrom $G.G0 per day to $8; latherers
want $9 per day, an increase of $1;
plumbers were given an increase
from $10 to $11 per day about a year
ago and their agreement with master
plumbers continues for another year;
?orpenters are getting $7 per day and
kave talked of asking for an in
m-ease; while heating men, electri
cians and other crafts of the building
trades are said to be considering de
mands for wage increases.
This is the approaching labor
mtuation and on the other hand con
tractors also point out that the pro
ducers or makers of building mater
ials are just as bad as the trade
?niona in increasing their prices for
materials going into new enterprise.
There has been no stability of build
ing material prices since the war with
a rising market more often the rule,
contractors say. Before the war,
they state, building material prices
were usually stable for periods of ten
years duration but since then like the
labor unions, every time the material
makers have had a chance to put on
the screws becauso of demands or
?ther pretense, they have done so.
Between the millstone of these two
forces ? labor and material producers,
? are the contractors and property
?wners, with the result that it was
estimated Saturday that probably 40
new construction jobs, largely resi
dential structures, are being hold up
?n account of high costs.

A Monument to an Ideal. v
A very interesting monument is
planned for orectiun on tho grounds
of the Thornwell Orphanage, of
Clinton, S. C., by the Alumni Assovia
tion of that institution, aided by
friends. "This monument is a very
peculiar one. It will tie a huge rough
it o Oil without mark of tool upon it
oxcopt the inscription of two tali*
it: .".ok; words, "Tho Child."
The reason , for this peculiar typo
oS monument, \vhit;h is really in honor
of Key. William lMumer Jacobs, 1>. !>.,
L.L. U., founder of the Thorn well
Oiphanage and of tho Presbyterian
Colls go of South Carolina in Clinton,
and forty-four years president of the
Thornwell Orphanage, till the day of
his death, involves an interesting
story.
Dr. Jacobs was widely known
throughout the United States, and
even in foreign countries, as a leader
of thought in modern charity work,
especially in the cure of orphan chil
dren. Ho devoted his life unselfishly
to that cause and introduced into the
orphan work of tho country quite a
good many new ideas which have been
copied in scores of younger institu
tions. He declined to take legal con
trol of tho children, to bind them out
or to merely find homes for them.
His idea was to educate and train
each orphan child just as if the child
were his own; to make the highest
I type of Christian manhood and
i womanhood out of the waifs of the
world. This idea was new and quite
unpopular at the time it was set forth
first by Dr. Jacobs, but it won its way
and it has become a dominant idea;
in fact, has revolutionized the theory
of tho care and training of orphan
children.
There were many things therefore
in the training given at tho Thorn
'\V?'U Clrnhnn;j?? which umciej wiueiy
from the old institutional ideas of the
orphan asylum with its numerous in
mates. The institution was called a
home and a school ? for orphan chil
dren instead of an orphan ? asylum.
The children were called pupils in
stead of inmates. Matrons, teachers,
officers were employed for the benefit
of the children. "The Child*' was tho
prim idea, the dominant idea of the
'entire aystem of training. What was
good for the child was needful to be
done. What was injurious to the
child was outlawed, and the develop
ment of the child stood pre-eminently
aboro every other interest in conduct
of tho institution.
Before Dr. Jacobs' death he several
times made the statement that the
only monument, which he would ever
care to have be a rough stone with
inscription "The Child" lettered
upon jt. He left a rough Bketch in
his ofififc*., desk, indicating the style of
the monum\fl.tM His thought was that
the ideal of Child" as first and
foremost in orphan work ought to
live long after he hinWlf had passed
away. - ?
The Alumni Association of the
Thomwell Orphanage, which includes
probably ^2,000 men and woro^i now
grown Into useful lives, plans to
this monument, giving opportunity to
the friends of the Thornwell Orphan-,
age and admirers of Dr. Wm. Plumer
Jacobs to contribute to the cause.
They are asking that all the alumni
of the institution' scattered far and
wide through the worJd, if they see
this article, will write to b\ Marion
Stutts, President of the Alumni Asso- 1
ciation, Thomwell Orphanage, Clin- j
ton S. C., giving their names, ad
dresses and sending in whatever con
tributions they wish to make to this
fund. It is desired to have all the
alumni represented by contributions
and also other friends of the institu
tion and admirers of Dr. Jacobs' life
and work who desire to take a part
in the erection of this huge rough
stone in his honor, and to the memory
of his life ideal, "The Child."
The cost of quarrying, transporting
and erecting this huge stone will be
quite considerable, but those who
know of Dr. Jacobs' wonderful work
at the Thornwell Orphanage, and the
inspiration which he gave to orphan
care throughout the land, will feel
that it is well worth a contribution to
have that noble ideal lettered on a
huge granite boulder to preserve Dr.
Jacobs' greatest thought and greatest !
contribution to the world ? the ideal j
of fatherly care of orphan children. ,
Chicken Ranch Iiurned.
Friday's Rock Hill Herald, says: i
A chicken house on the burr clover ?
farm of A. F. RufT, a few miles from ?
the city, was burned last night and
more than 1,000 young chickens
wore burned to death. T^ie cause of
the fire was a brooder lamp which
was in the building. The house was j
completely destroyed and the loss ,
of the chickens which ranged in age
from baby chicks to fryers is con
siderable. The loss it partially
covered by insurance. Mr. Ruff to
day placed an order, by wirv with
a poultry farm in Louisville, Ky., for
1,000 chicks to replace the onaa
burned. They were shipped today.
