TOWN WATER IX COTTON MILL. Efficient Service More Profitable than Capital Stock In Manufacturing Enterprises?Cli lid Labor?Rolling: Stone* Not Needed Mr. J. B. Campbell, of Greenwood, was in town a lew days ago. He talked pleasantly of Greenwood and the cotton mill in which he is employed, and, among other things, said that the mill was connected with the city water works. By this connection tbe labor and the expense of keeping up steam from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning is saved. Arrangement with the insurance companies sanctioned tbe saving to the mill without Increasing tbe insurance. Tbe town is also a gainer by tbe arrangement. Tbe steam pump at tbe mill being connected with tbe water mains, tbe mill could, in case of emergency, furnish water for flre'purposes. The arrangement it seems Is beneficial alike to tbe town and to the mill, a Mr. Campbell has been in the cotton mill business for twelve years. Commencing at the bottom he has made upward steps rrom the machines to loom-flxer, and from loomfixer to boss of the spinning. Lately he was promoted to boss of both the spinning and the carding rooms.with Increased pay. He is ambitious to reach the top, and hopes by fidelity and efficiency, to be called up higher. Mr. Campbell says the present is the hardest times the mills have ever had, and he thinks that he would prefer to have a good paying office to owning stock in a mill. He believes that efficiency and fidelity pay a more certain dividend than capital Invested in slock. Mr. Campbell says that, as a rule, the best element of the cotton mill operatives is opposed to any law regulating child labor in the cotton mills. Such a law would seriously affect the operatives, but could not permanently injure the mnnnfactures. He says it is true that a few trifling men live off the labor ot their children, but such cases are the exception. Mill operatives may be trusted to take care of their own children. The proposition to interfere with mill operatives aud their children comes from one of two classes of men, namely: 1. Those conscientious and honest men who are ignorant of the real condltiou of the mill people. 2. Those who are prompted by ill will toward the cotton mills. When asked if the people In the Greenwood mill had educational and religious . facilities, he said that they were well provided with a school, and that religious services were held in the mill chapel at least twice a month. As a rule, the mill DeoDle attended the city churches. They were as well dressed as the city people, and havs uo hesitation lu jjoIdk to the city churches, where they are made welcome. The Greenwood mill has a most excellent class of help. The rule in t^iat mill is to let machines stand, rather than employ objectionable people. Sometimes the operatives temporarily take extra machines during a rush of work. The mill makes it a rule not to advance car fare for help. An operative who has not money enough to pay his own way is not desired. The probability is, that those who have no money with which to pay moving expenses,are either inefficient workmen or are rolling stoneR, who do not stay anywhere very long. The best interests of a mill require a steady force, which is contented to stay in a good place. Mr. Campbell savR that the mill pays $1.40 for pine wood ; that a person appointed for that purpose directs the piling oi the wood, aud that, in that way, chances of di*sutlsfa<v laction in the measurement are prevented. They do not receive wood that is piled so that a rabbit might run through it. Considerable pine wood is received in box cars. In such cases the mill unloads it. making proper allowance for the trouble of unloading. W. I>. BarkMtlale'M Local'*. I have a large and complete line of can goods with prices to suit every one.

The Xortb American <?lve* Credit for Work of Nouth Carolina Court* auU Shjn Its II or ives were Miston struVtl. North American. The grand jury of Anderson county, after n full and careful Investleation of condition existing on a number of South Carolina plan tations, bun brought in a scathing indtcltnenl of the system of holding free negroes in contract bondage. Its leport corroborates Uu statements ot fact that have beeu published Ill mug 111 1U IUU Kill lu n.mt-1 uraii mill run; tually disposes of the ihe overhasty iieniaif of persons who should have been the firNt t< protest against the rein traduction of black slavery. Now that the grand jury tins done Us duty it is for the local courts to correct this abuse of human rights. Already, it is reported, the exposure of these flagrant violations of the law is bearing fruit, a number of wretched negroes who had been deprived of their liber ty have been permitted to go free. Publicity has filled the would be slave owners with a new fear of the law. Hut the planters who have coerced and deceived the free negroes into signing illegal contracts, and have worked and whipped and shackled them like slaves, are not yet dear. The grand jury has gathered the evidence and recommended their Indictment. Within a few weeks they will be brought to trial, and unless the unforseen happenH due Justice will he rendered them. Their punishment should prove an effective warning to all men who are not restrained by reeuard for the law of moral considerations from dealing In human chattels. The Anderson county grandjury cannot be too highly commended for the courageous discharge of its duty. It has done a great service in the cause of humanity. Hut It is to Judge Benet that the chief credit must be accorded for compelling prompt action in bohalf of the friendless and tgnoraut negroes who have been held In abject servitude. It was he who first took up of his own motion the purchase and sale of negro labor and iu structed the grand Jury to make inquiry into the facts. He not only indicated to the grand Jurors the course that they should follow, but aided tbem materially in their later work. The North American, however, regrets that Judge Kenet misapprehends the purposes of this journal In publishing the results of its own Investigation. It had no desire to withhold credit from the Sonth Carolina court or grand jury, and It will not withhold such credit wnenever it is due. Nor was there any inclination to give the subject a political turn The North American merely saw what Judge Benet adlmts was true?that the weak negroes needed protection from the strong planters, and that the laws of South Carolina were not respected. Therefore It concerned itself with the larger aspects of the question, made known the facts in its possession and appealed to public opinion to correct the evils that flourished unchecked. I Oah?K Po?-Allno onrt oronH Itirr 1 uu uvu iu uaiuuua vwui v ?uv? k ??">? j have now benttbeir energies to this work of correction, and noDe is readier than the North Americau to offer them praise for what they have accomplished. They have dealt a brave blow to the new lorm of negro slavery. Let them keep om until the last negro Is given his rights and the last plaveholdlng planter made to suffer lor his crimes.
