An UTTFR FAILURE.

Negro Labor in Cotton Mills No good be-
cause of inconsistency.
Charleston, s. C.-The experiment
Of operating cotton mills with negro
labor, which was begun In the Vestor
mills here year ago, has not proven
the success that the managers had
expected.
The lack uf consistency is the great
fault found here with the colored op-
eratives When the negroes were first
employed white men were engaged to
train them to manipulate the delicate
machinery. After learning how to
handle the machinery and after they
had been working perhaps four weeks,
The negroes would quietly walk away
at night and not return for work In
the morning.

Found Guilty Of Larceny.

willis Yeaton was found guilty Of
the charge Of larceny. yesterday. by
Judge. Andrews, in the police court and
was sentenced to Jail for 80 days and
besides was ordered to pay the cost of
the court. The charge against Yeaton
was that Of stealing from the cash
register in the store Of c. II. Beal. The
witnesses who were called testified
that they had seen Yeaton in the
store, had seen him drunk afterward
in Hallowell and told instances Of his
conduct.
The clinching part Of the evidence
was given by officer Hanks who re-
lated the conversation ,Yeaton had
made to him. UP to the. time Of
this conversation no one had any idea
who had taken the money from the
draw and it was the talk that placed
the officers on the right track.
When Yeaton took the stand to
plead he held that he was not guilty.
but after the evidence was all in he
said: II suppose that l did it," He
was accordingly held by the court. AS
the amount of money taken was small
no heavier sentence could be imposed
although Yeaton has settled up sew
eral other similar affairs that he might
not be obliged to go before the court.
