NEGRO LABOR IN SOUTHERN
MILLS.
Workings C Successful Silk Factory
in North Carolina.


in North Carolina.
BROKER t. Washington in Gunton's
Magazine: failure of the Vesta
cotton mills in Charleston, S. c., mas
been laid to the door of the negro.
Those who have written on this sub
ject seemingly forgot, however, to
state that these same mills failed
once, and l think twice, under white
labor, and that these mills have never
had colored labor exclusively in them.
When visited Charleston a few
months ago AID made a careful in
spection CT these mills, found at
least one-third of the operatives were
white people, the remaining two-thirds
being colored. The colored people, as
| remember it, occupied two floors,
and the whites the other floor. so
that the failure cannot be wholly as
cribed to colored labor.
In further proof of my statement
that the negro can succeed in factory
work If given fair opportunity, | re-
fer to the employ ment of colored per-
sons in the silk factory at Fayette-
vile, N. c., a small town where con-
ditions are much more conducive to
factory life than in Charleston. HE.

editors of the Charlotte Daily oh.

Fayetteville, and after his visit said
in his paper
II is the most unique and interest
ing manufacturing plant in the state.
If not in the entire south. II is
managed by Rev. T. w. Thurson. a
born in Pennsylvania and
educated in Philadelphia, and who is
highly respected by the white and
colored citizens of Fayetteville.
IL has proved a signal success. Its
continued success will mean much tn

There was no other response on the pro-

rapt attention. Mr.. Long in behalf Of

Glowing with Masonic lore and sparkling
with rhetorical effects his address was

Commander Richardson were members of
the ways and means committee and while
they differed in matters of politics they
could meet on the Masters carpet with

The New Discovery for Catarrh
Seems to Possess Remark
able Merit

A new catarrh cure has recently ap-
peared which SO far as tested has been
remarka bly, successful in curing all forms
OF catarrh. whether in he head, throat
bronchial tubes. or in stomach and liver.
The remedy is in tablet form. pleasant
and convenient 20 take and no special
secrecy is maintained as 10 what it con-
tains, the tablet being a scientific combi-
nation of Guaiacol. Eucalyptol. Sangu'n-
aria. Hydrastin and similar valuable and
harmless antiseptics
The safe and effective cararrh cure nav
be found Al any drug store under name %
Stuar s Catar-h tablets.
Whether the catarrh IS located in the
nose. throat. bronchial tubes or stomach,
the tablets seem TO act with equal sue
cess. removing the stuny feeling in head
and nose. clearing the mucous membrane
of throat and trachea from catarrhal Sc
cretions which cause the tickling. cough
Ing. hawking and gagging SO annoying te
every catarTh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to ulcer.
alton in some cases TO such an extent as
TO destroy the nose entirely and in many
old cases of catarrh the bones of the head
become diseased Nasal catarrh gradually
extends TO the throat ana bronchial tubes
and very often 20 the stomach. causing
that very obstinate trouble. catarrh Of
the stomach.
Catsrrh is a systemic poison. Inherent
IN the blood. and local washes, douches.
Saives, inhalers and sprays can have no
effect on the real cause OF the disease
An internal remedy which ac.s upon the
blood is the only rational treatment and
stiart's Catsrrh Tablets is the safest Of
al internal remedies. as well as the most
convenient and satisfactory from a medi-
raj standpoint.
DR. Eaton recently stated that he had
successfully used Stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets in old chronic cases, even where III

stroy the septum Of the nose. He says
Il am pleasantly surprised almost every

BOUGHT CHEAP LAND.
Joseph Smarsh Buys a Farm for Fit
teen Hundred Dollars.

Joseph Smarsh Buys a Farm for Fit.
teen Hundred Dollars.
Joseph Smarsh, who lives in the pros
porous German settlement northwest OF
this city. was here yesterday and he was
about the best pleased man in this city.
He had Just purchased another farm
at a great bargain.
One pleasing feature about this part Of
the Arkansas valley is that the people
here have more faith in the country than
the people back east. This difference Of
estimate in regard to the best country
on earth gives the people here chance
to speculate by buying out eastern hold
ers Of rea lestate. What made Joseph
Smarsh laugh yesterday when he seated
himself on high stool IN a Main street
restaurant and ordered a porterhouse
steak, was the bargain that he had just
made in buying half section OF land
Mr.. smarsh was in the city e couple Of
days ago and Michael Block told him
that a mortgage company in the east
had a half section Of LAM up in Reno
county that it had ordered him to sell
for $500. That was less than s. an acre.
The Wichita money lender said those
eastern people never would learn any
sense about Kansas land and he sug-
gested to Mr.. Smarsh that 1t might be
TO his interest to look UP this land.
That is just what he did He went ~
to Reno county and found the land all
good for pasture and about half Of Il
good farm land Mr.. Snarsh did not tar
y IN Reno county. He turned his horses
heads for Wichita ana when he came
across Douglas avenue bridge. a police
man threatened 10 run him IN for fast
driving but Joe said he was going after
a doctor and the cop let him pass.
He drove his team 70 a West End nv
cry barn and ordered them rubbed down
and fed Then he went TO NJ Blocks
Office and counted out 500 and said: III
take the land you priced to me. viii
pay the balance when Tou give mo the
deed" Mt. Block said he would get it
next week
Then Mr.. smarsh began 70 tell about
the wheat in Attica township and the
northwest part Of the coeaty. he said IL
was thick on the ground and about eight
inches high. Up In Reno county. ne said.
wheat was mighty hne on some OF the
new farms. Up IN the German settlement
in this county he says land IS going Up
every day and farmers are refusing %
sell shefr farms for SO an acre.
