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

I BROKER T. Washington in Gunton' s
Magazine:-The failure of the Vesta
! cotton mills in Charleston, S. c., has
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 l visited Charleston a few
| months ago and made a careful in.
| spection of these mills, found al
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, l re-
| fer to the employment of colored per
sons in the silk factory at Fayette-
vile, n. c., small town where con-
d1tlons are much more conducive to
| factory life than in Charleston H. E.
G. Bryant, white man and one of the
editors of the Charlotte Daily Oh
server, published at Charlotte, n. c.,
recently visited this silk factory in
Fayetteville, and after his visit said
in his paper
1T is the most unique and interest
ing manufacturing plant in the state,
if not iD the entire south. 1t is
managed by Rev. T. w. Thurson, a
mulattoo, born in Pennsylvania and
educated in Philadelphia, and who is
highly respected by the white and
colOred citizens of Fayetteville.
1t has proved a signal success. It's
continued success will mean much to
the negro of the south. The building
is Of brick, three stories high, and the
mill has 10000 spindles and employs
4Ve operatives, mainly boys and girls
between 10 ard Is years old. The
first floor contains the reeling de-
partment over which J. H. Scarbough.
young German, is foreman; the
second is devoted to winding and
doubling, and Gertrude Hood
(colored), daughter of Bishop Hood,
is in charge; and the third, weaving,
with Harry Fieldhouse, an English
man, as foreman. The mill has the
appearance OF a well-regulated school.
The operatives are thoroughly or
ganized and work with perfect system.
| found order and neatness on every
hand. The children did not seem
frightened but satisfied and ambitious.
None but the best class of boys and
girls are employed at the silk mills,
The employment of colored labor has
not caused racial trouble. 1t takes
the young negro from the streets and
makes good citizen of him"

POOR RAILWAYS IN SPAIN.
Service on Trains Is the Most VilIain-
Gus in the World.

railways in Spain are the most
Villianously bad in the whole world,
said General Moscoso, a widely travel
ed and highly educated native Of
Santo Domingo. THE Spaniards re-
fused to permit the building OF any
railways until twenty years after
France and the other European
countries had taken up the new
method Of transportation, because an
other invasion by France was feared.
When Spain finally concluded to per-
NIT the bupilding Of railways, it de-
cided that they should not be of the
same gauge as those of France, think
ing that this would prevent the use Of
the roads for the transportation of
troops and supplies from one country
to the other.
Today there is but one standard
guage road in Spain-that from
Madrid TO Barcelona. This being be-
tween inland points, offers none of the
strategic opportunities to France
which Spain fears. This is the only
good road in Spain, and it is a single
track. The trains reach a speed of
forty-five miles an hour, but on the
other roads twenty-five miles is the
limit, and the average is twelve.
They will stop anywhere for any one
who will stand on the track and wave
his hand. l once made a trip from
Barcelona to Malaga by rail. It IS
about 1900 miles, and it required
eight days. We had no place to sleep
in the very ordinary day coaches.
Magnificent express trains leave
Paris and Bordeaux daily for Madrid.
They are fitted with every luxury,
and the interior of the cars have the
Undesirable charm of comfort and
decoration the French alone can give.
The next morning, however, you are
awakened before daylight and CON-
PEELED to move into the Spanish cars
on the narrow guage. When the sun
rises and you realize your uncom-
Portable and tawdry surroundings in
the Spanish cars, you fail to admire
even the great natural beauty of The
Spanish scenery through which the
train passes. "-Washington Post.

SUGGESTED Blythe CLAM.
BivaIve Gave General Mcclellan a Val.
liable Idea in Engineering.

The late General George B. Nc
Clellan, U. S. A, is credited with hay
ing made the statement many years
ago that the sinking of clans into The
sand along the ocean shore by closing
their shells and ejecting the water
from them in thin stream first oug-
gested to him the use of the water jet
as an aid in sinking piles in sand. AT
any rate, as long ago as 1852 a water
jet was SO used, by General Nc
Clellan's advice, in putting down the
piles for wharf and warehouse
Water was forced through an ordinary
rubber hose, with piece of gas pipe
on the end of the nozzle. This was
placed close to the point of the pile on
the bottom, the jet of water scoring
the sand away from the pile and
making a hole, in which the pile sunk
rapidly.
From that time on, as recently re-
corded in a paper by l.. Y. Schermer-
horn before the Engineers club of
Philadelphia, the water jet method
has been similarly employed in many
different places by different persons.
In the United States, in the improve
ment of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, large numbers of piles have
been driven for the construction of The
brush and pile bikes and in the sink
ing of these piles the water jet has
been in use since 1881.-Cassler's

An Electric Meter.

A new type Of electricity meter be-
longs to the class in which chemical
reactions are called into play. Two
zinc electrodes of equal weight are
suspended from a scale beam, each in
a cell containing zinc sulphate solu-
ton. By suitable shunt a small but
definite proportion of the current to be
measured is sent through this ap-
paratus so that while one electrode
dissolves away, the other increases in
weight. This causes the scale beam to
tip, and, when a certain definite diff.
ference in weight is reached, to let
one tooth Of a wheel belonging to a
small train of clock-work pass, at the
same time throwing a switch which re-
verses the current flowing through the
instrument. This reversal causes the
scale beam in time to tip the other
way and the clockwork to move on
by another tooth. Upon the clockwork
