Another Silk Mill 90 be Built I'm Wades-
boro-The Mil. Which Will he
Owned by the Wadesbcro ManEfac-
turing Company. will be Operated
Exclusively With Co;ortd Labor.

The wadesboro Manufacturing Com
pany the corporate name Of the con-
Germ that owns aud operates the
Wadesboro silk mill, Of which Mr..
George Singleton. of New Jersey. is
the lessee, has perfected arrangements
tor the erection of another large mill
here. The mill will be located just
outside Of town on the rishtiland side
OF the Salisbury road. and will lie op-
Grated exclusively with colored labor.
Mr.. w. T. Brasington has the on
tract Cor the erection of Il large frame
building, i'm which silk spinning ma
chinery will be installed for the pur-
pose of instructing colored boys and
girls in its use, to the end that they
may become efficient operatives by the
time the mill proper is finished. The
permanent mill will be built of brick
and will be 200 feet long by ID feet
broad. The frame building Is TO be
erected at once, and it is hoped to
lave the entire plant in operation by
the first of January next.
The location of the mill is an ideal
one, when it is considered that only
colored help is to be employed, as that
section of the town is inhabited exclu-
sively by colored people. The mill,
While it will belong to the same par
ties who own the present mill here.
will be operated on an entirely indie
pendent basis, and the Ielp i'll the two
mills will not in any way come III con
tact with each other.
The only silk mill in this country
that has been successfully operated
with colOred labor is located at Fay
~etteville this state. This mill has
been in operation several years, and
it has been demonstrated that colored
boys and girls, under proper r%estric-
tons, can be developed into fairly
good operatives. Mr.. Robert Single
ton, superintendent of the mill here.
has made a study of the management
of the Fayetteville mill, and it is his
| purpose to conduct the mill here along
the lines that have made that mill a
success.
The mill, when completed, will give
employment to from $50 to 200 opera
tives.-WadesbOrO Messenger.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an infiamed con.
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eu-
tacian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have q rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be ia
ken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Cafarrh, which is nothing
but an intlamed condition of the mu-
cOus surfaces.
