DECISION IN A FEW DAYS
MAYBE WELL. KNOW WHAT AN
"ORIGINAI." IS
Judge SimontOn Listens AttentivcIy and
Intcrcstedly to Long Legal Arguments,
But Gives No Intimntion ns to what
tho Outcome VIII 30.
(Rogister, 29th.)

Tho hearing in the original pack
age cases was had yesterday at Flat
Rock, N. c., before Judge Simonton,
but no decision was rendered nor
was tho loast intimation given as to
what 1t would be. Attorney General
Barber was present, representing tho
State; Mr.. p. II. Nelson of Columbia
representing Mcetzo as agont of the
Portnor Brewing Co. and Pfoircr; Mr.
Shuman of Greenvillo representing
Payne Of that city; Mcssrs. B. A.
Hagood of Charleston and L. A.
Wilcox Of Florence representing
Stackley of that city as agent for
Gugonheimor and Co.
The main and practically only
question boforo the judge, was what
constitutes an original package. Tho
various attorneys practically had tho
same case, aud contcnded that tho
bottles in n package shipped into tho
state wcro tho "original PACKAGE"
In the case Of s. lclilcy, of Florence,
it appears that tho stuff was shipped
to him in bottles packed in car and
it was contondcd that each ono was
plainly an original package. TO both
of these positions, tho attorney gcn.
oral took exception, contcnding that
the box in which the bottles wore
shipped was tho original puckugc
and not the bottle. lie contcndod,
further, that in the Gugcnhcimcr
shipment all tho bottles in tho car
constituted tho package and must be
sold as such. Worry voluminous uu-
thoritics wcro quoted by all Of the
attorneys, and tho judge seemed to
bo deeply Interested.
Mr.. Barber opened and was fol-
lowed by Mcssrs. Hagood and Will
cox and Mr.. Nelson closed The at.
torneys returned from Flat Rock last
night and all expect decision with

NEGRO LABOR IN COTTON MILLS.
The Time Hns Not Yet Come for Their
Employment.
Augusta Chronicle.

There is no danger, said President
Chas. Estes, of tho King Mill, yes
torday, that the working of the nc
gro in tho Charleston mill will provo
a SUCCESS. That mill cannot sue
coed with any kind of labor.
In tho first place, tho time has not
como for the employment of negro
labor in cotton mills. There is whito
labor in plenty.
So far as the negro is concerned it
is unfortunate for them that they
have struck SO poor a place to dom
onstrato their fitness for this class of
work, for tho Chaaloston mill cannot
succeed with or without negro Ia
Dor.
1t was built when times were
good, and the cost Of machinery was
high. 1t has steam plant which is
not Of tho best There is very little
land with tho property and tho COM
pany had to rcnt houses for the ope-
ratives and sublet them at loss.
A great many people think that a
mill in seaport enjoys great advan-
tages. Tho class of labor is not the
most reliable and then thero is the
danger of epidemics, which is always
serious to mill operatives in southern
ports.
In fine, says Mr.. Estes, the history
Of cotton mills in Southern ports
is very unsatisfactory.
In the King mill, for instance, out
of over 700 employees thoro are only
sovon negroes, and these are all do
ing menial work, and this is about
the average in all the mills hero
