NEGRO HELP ENPIOYED
Wadesboro Silk Mill Succeeding in Its
Experiment of Using Golored Help.

The Observer some time ago, men
toned that the Wadesboro Silk Mill
had built and equipped a second plant
for the spinning of silk yarns. Tt was
stated that negro help would be used
exclusively in the new mill. Some
little interest has been manifested in
the experiment.
An Observer reporter was talking
with a welIknown citizen Of Wades-
boro several days ago and this mat
ter was discussed at length Tho ex-
pertinent, if such a term might be
used in this connection, is working
well,' he said. There are approx
mately 60 negroes employed and the
officials of the mill state hat they are
pleased with the work so AR
Only a low grade of silk is handled
il this plant and the more complex
processes are not required. The young
darkies learn their parts rapidly and
are said to be much more easily han
died than whrIe help. With the Z
cepGon of the ~overseer, only negroes
are employed In the mill. The plant is
separate and distinct from the other
and everything is working very
smoothly. The wadesboro Silk Mill is
owned by Mr.. George Singleton, Of
Patterson. n. J., and is operated and
managed by his brother, Mr.. Robert
Slngleton.'-Charlor5e Observer.
