Luther Wharton, drug store delivery boy, twelve years old. Works from 4:00 to midnight in Sommers Drug Store. I saw him working at midnight. He goes to school in the daytime, then works from four to twelve. Sundays half a day. Gets $ a week. I take medicines to the Red Light places several times a day. Yes I know some of the people there. This is a pretty heavy burden, both physical and moral, to place on this adolescent boy. See Hine report on messenger service of Texas.
