Charleston News and Courier: Within
the past few days all Of the white girls
employed in the Charleston knitting mills
have been discharged and their places
filed with colored help. The manage
ment has endeavored for some time to
get enough young white women to at
tend to all the machines. but this could
not be done, even after repeated adYer-
tisements. The mills could not, there

decided to remove all the white women
and put in negroes. This was consider

Tuesday, the case Of E. L. Winant of
the defunct and fraudulent Citizens Fire

The case against r. K. McCarley & Co,
a cotton firm forced to the wall last sum-

the Loan and Exchange Bank with obtain

the testimony up to this time it appears
that McCarley q Co. began a cotton bust
ness with no capital whatever, making
arrangements for the bank to honor Their
checks and in turn to be secured by the
cotton bought. The banks profit was
simply per cent. paid on the money ad-
vanced. Every night after the days pur-
chases had been made McCarley was re-
CURED to make a statement in writing to
the banks president, setting forth the
number of bales held in the warehouse To
secure the banks. Last spring McCarley
began to speculate in cotton futures, un.
known to the bank officials and lost Then
he began to make false returns to the
bank Of the cotton in store, money all the
while being advanced him, which was lost.
He kept this up for some time, and IN
June, when a concealment could no longer
be made, he assigned to the bank. His
last report, two days before the assign
ment, stated that there were about $50
bales on hand, when as a matter of fac,
there were not over ninety The bank
was a heavy loser, being out about SIG, OOO
