longer than those who arc pale.
In this mill there is Misses Mary
Snipes. formerly of Chester Coun-
ty. She has as much color as
would be found in a painted pic
ture; and by her side, in striking
contrast, is Mi.s Nettie Nyme;
and from the same county as Miss
Nettie Nyme is Will Remington
who has plenty of color. Miss
Ada Nye, at work in this mill, al
so has color and brightness of
complexion, and if there were to
be beauty show, it would be
hard to find a better entry than
Miss Carrie Gale, who went into
the cotton mill at Lancaster from
her home, about eight miles be,
low Lancaster, and who has ideal
rosy cheeks, although she has
been working In the cotton mill
for nu nber of years. Theodore
Starnes, who has been in the mill
for two years, has bright color,
and right by him is young fell
low, named Robinson, who is pale
and sallow and uses tobacco. And
so, in this way, could have gone
al! through the mill and
found one person who had
worked in the mill for mum.
Der of years, who had bright,
rosy complexion, and by his or
her side another, who had been in
the mill perhaps just as long, with
a most pronounced sallow COM
ple1ion. And then, again | could
find null help that had Just lately
come there from the farms, with
skins as pallid, or more so, than
those who had been there for
years.
What | found at Lancaster was
the case at number of other
places. While going over to
Graniteville | passed little place
called Summit, and there, on a
lumber pile, standing out in the
open air, was little boy, proba-
bly, 10 years old, miles away from
a cotton mill, who looked pale
and sallow and saffron, more so
than any boy had seen in any
cotton mill in South Carolina: and
yet, in all likelihood this boy had
never seen the doors of cotton
mill.
/ ltis a mistake directly to charge
the cotton mills with being tho
cause Of the complexion of their
operatives. They have no more
10 do with the complexion of
their operatives than the farms
have to do with the complexion
of the people who work on them.
1t would be an excellent thing
to have somebody go to the war;
ious cotton mill communities and
teach the people how to cook pro.
perly. They get the very best
food, but do not know how to
prepare it., In some ofthe homes
L saw food horribly sacrificed.
Merchants all say that the opera
tives buy the best flour and pro
visions of all kinds; but they do
not know how to prepare it. If
somebody, who wanted to do u true
charity, would instruct these peo.
pie how to cook, they would be
doing them kindness that would
have good results.
One of the cotton mill officers
told me that he attached 50 much
importance to the question of
properly prepared food that he
was almost tempted to bull a
l,-ge dining hall, where the cp.
eratives could get their dinner, at
least during working hours, and
then he woulJ kpo~ +b,. 49,

Why Do So Many Cotton Mill
Operatives Have Sallow
Complexions9

q "So"'' - iAohu III NeWS ana
! Courier.
There are great many people
persons who think that the sailow
and pale complexion, which so
many mill operatives have, is the
result of their work. Just bo-
fore | started on my trip of in
vestigatlon [ read an article writ
ten by a young woman who visit
ed the Columbia cotton mills and
Who made much ado about the
sallow complexion of the mill
help. In my visits to the various
cotton mills | found number of
men and women, boys and girls,
who did have pale, sallow look,
and | tried to find out why. 1t
Is not confined to the children.
There are men and women who
have the same look, and while the
confning work of the cotton mills
may, to some extent, account for
1T, there is other cause for it.
Working side by side with the
pale, sallow-looking operatives in
many of the mifts are operatives
who are just as bright and tosy-
checked and full blooded as any
that can be found in this State.
1t is not an uncommon thing to
go into a spinning room, or any
other department of the mills and
flnd at ono end of the frame a
bright, rosy checked child. The
complexion is not altogether the
result Gf mill life. A census
would show that there are more
pink, checked children than pale
in the mills. There are many
opinions on the subject. Some
charge the complexion to malaria; !;
others insist that it is prenatal.
Others think that it is climatic.
and others that it is entirely due
to the cotton mill hands mode of
living and poorly prepared food.
One man, who had been looking
into the question very carefully,
told me that it was the "hook
worm. y | do net pretend to say
what it is or why it is, but it is
certain that there are to be found
in the sand hills of Rlchland,
Lancaster, and Chesterfield and 10
the mountainous section of this
State and North Carolina, men,
women and children with just the
same complexion as is found
among the operatives of any mill
in South Carolina.
If some one can find out WHY
SO many people who have never
been inside Of cotton mill have
the "cotton mill color" 1t will
be practicable to account for the
color of the cotton mill peo-
pie.
Over in Lancaster talked with
Mr.. Springs on the subject, and
he told me that the pale, saffron
colered operative of his mill came
there that way, and be would
make me wager that he could
tell exactly where every one in
the mill came from. We went
to the mill Mt the noon hour, and
every child that went IN we stop
ped. Those who were rosy COL
ored and brlght-Iooking generally
came from Lancaster County and
from prosperous farms, and with
ont even asking the children
where they crmc from he recog-
nized those with the pale, yellow
skin that they came from eastern
Lancaster and Chesterfield Coun-
ty, and the complexion seemed to
be quite common with that Sec
ton of the country. Some of
them were free to admit that they

Kind Words for "Press"

The following are few of the clippings
of the press, speaking kind words for
our friend "Press" Waterman:
Jess. P Waterman a well known pio-
neer newspaper man of Gilpin county,
Colorado, died at St. Joseph's hospital
in Denver last Sunday. "Press" was
one of the best known men OF that
county. He came to Colorado in 1850
and for while was with Hollister q
Hall when they published the Black
Hawk Daily Journal. In 1866 he came
to the Central City Register and worked
in the same alley with the writers. The
mechanical force at that time being w.
Bird johnson, foreman: Shatfer, Law
horn, Merrick, Waterman, Williams and
Rhodes. Later he became mining re-
porter and remained on that paper for
years, but for several yeares he has been
with the GILPIN OBSERVER, until he was
taken down with Bright's disease. Good
bye "bud" the old boys are getting
scarce and soon will be all gone.-Hal-
sey Rhoads in Rocky Mountain Herald.
Colorado has lost another of her pion-
eer newspaper men in the person of dear
old Press" Waterman VINO has spent
the best and most part of his years of
his life upon the newspapers of Gilpin
county in this state, either as compost
tor, editor or reporter. "Slug 3O' came
to him at st. Joseph's hospital in Den
yer Sunday morning, June 7, after long
and painful illness. His demise was re-
gretted by large circle Of friends all
over this portion of Colorado where he
was best and most favorably known
George West in Golden Transcript.
"Press" j. Waterman, formerly we'll
known newspaper man of this section,
died in Denver hospital Sunday, June
Z. He came to Gilpin county in go from
Iowa, locating in Russell Gulch where
he engaged in mining for number of
years, afterwards taking up newspaper
work.-Idaho Springs Siftings.

Senator Hanna has introduced a
bill in the Senate, which is regarded
as a move to solidify himself with
the colored voters of the country,
and which will go very far, perhaps,
towards giving him the first place in
their affections, if it becomes a law.
The bill provides for pensions not
only for males but for the females as
we'll and in liberality goes very far
beyond anything ever attempted for
them, in that it gives each ex-slave,
according to age, monthly pensions
from SO to $15 a month and cash
bounty of from 500 to $500. Teddy
of course, would not be lin the race"
with such benefactor, even if he
invited every colored brother and
sister IN the land to sup with him
and gave them every Office in the
South. The old promise of forty
acres and a mule" could not have
half the attractiveness for them as
that contained in the provisions of
the Hanna bill.

Another protest has been made
against the erection of statue in
Statuary Hall at the National Capt.
toll of General Robert E. Lee. The
manifest improperly" of thus hon.
oring the memory of one whose
claim to prominence was the distinct
ion gained as an enemy of his coun-
try" was proclaimed by the members
of the department of the Potomac of
the Grand Army of the Republic at
their annual encampment in the city
of Washington on Wednesday. The
fame of Lee, heretofore regarded as
the greatest hero of this or any other
age, of course, now that they have
spoken is no longer secure. 1t may
be, however, that they do not know
it all and if at all informed as to the
high estimate in which Lee is held
the world over they will not have TO
look very far to find out what fools
they have made of themselves in the
attempt to detract from his fame by
the resolutions adopted bythem. Lee
needs no statue, though, to perpetuate
his name and virtues and 1t matters
not if the hate and vindictiveness of
those, whose opinions are unworthy
of consideration, are allowed to pre-
vail. Virginia will not in any event,
so debase herself as to consent to be
represented in marble at the Capitol
of the country by the statue of an
other of her sons to the exclusion Of
one to him.
