As a result of the call the colored
people of Williamsburg have been
aroused and are loyal to the government.
They are endeavoring to do

Child Labor in Tobacco Warehouses.
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.
