NEGRO LABOR IN MILLS.
Colored Hands About TO Compete with whit,
Operatives In q Cotton Will.

CHARLESTON, s. c., May 2s.-The experiment
Of employing colored hands in q cotton factory
is about to be made here and the project Is being
watched with great interest. The State is
dotted with cotton mills, big and little. Hereto
fore, white operatives have been employed ex-
clusively. The white operatives refused to work
alongside colored hands and for years have been
apprehensive lest an attempt be made to replace
them with cheap colored labor. The experiment
is at last to be made In the Charleston Cotton
Mills. Some time ago the mills had to be closed
down on account Of dull markets, and since then
the 800 men, women. and children have been
out of employment. They are, poor and unable
to seek work elsewhere. and have remained here
hoping to start in again. The Charleston Cot
ton Mills have one Of the largest plants in the
southern country. A large part of the stock IL
owned by q. II. Sampson of Boston and other
Northern capitalists, and they contend that had
negro labor been secured months ago the mill
would have not been compelled to stop. 1t was
through Northern influence that 1t has been
settled that negroes alone shall be employed.
This reorganization Of the Charleston cotton
mills has attracted the deepest interest among
the former white hands. Scores of men and
women who have been accustomed, to look on
the factory for their means OF livelihood have
come forward aud made protests against the
change. They have been holding nightly meet
II negroes capabilities as a factory operative
have been under confederation BY more than one
mill man in the South for years. Eminent au-
thorities have strongly commended for the intro.
duction Of the colored man into the factories Of
the South, because his employment there meant
cheaper labor. In three States-North Carolina,
Georgia. and Alabama-the negroes have pro-.

was to be employed, but the factories owned
and operated by whites have drawn their labor
from the ranks OF their own race. That these
conditions will continue to exist is scarcely
probable. Recent events point to a date not far
distant when the races are to come into direct
competition at the door of the factory. Much
ipleresting evidence might BE- addused,to prove
which the work will make upon him. No one
will question that his intelligence will prove to
be sufficient to render him, In duo course OF
time. a skilled laborer In the sense Of which the
mill men employ the term.
The attention OF the Police Department here
has been called TO the condition existing In the
local mill district. Threatening placards have
been posted on the mill building, and President
White has been warned that nnle4s his plan
was changed the whole mill would be blown
into nin ndhssss with dynamite. and that bodily
the experiment win DO attended with trouble.

An Awful Crime Committed at Juliet.

ceived information that horrible
murder had been committed at this
quiet place on the $. S., o. n G. II. r..
the night before. Up to the hour of
going TO press 1t has been impossible
for us TO gather particulars, but the
horrible truth is that the store of
Messrs. Bariield IL Turner, failing to
open ON Thursday morning, an inves-
tigation resulted in the discovery that
both had been murdered. The muir
derers were evidently intent on rob-
berry and the noise awakening the two
unfortunate men who slept in the
rear room of the building, both were
killed.
Sheriff Hodge left on the noon train
Thursday and is making every effort
to discover and capture the murderers.
