WHITE LABOR IS HERE. :
Commenting on the removal of
the Yesta> cotton mill from
Charleston to Gainesville, and the
failure of the owners of the mill to
• -
make negro labor profitable, the
Philadelphia Ledger says: “They
say the negroes are lazy, trifling,
and will not work as steadily as
they must in order to make their
labor profitable. The report does
uot speak well for the establish
ment if cotton mills in
the cottou fielde, about
which so much was said twogp?
three years ago; but what will the
company do at Gainesville? Will
it find white labor there?” If
the movement of the mills to the
cotton fields depended upon the
negro labor there would, indeed,
be some doubt about the advisa
bility of such movement. Lucki
ly, it does not. There is an abun
dance of available white labor in
the south: and the Vesta mill is
going to a good place - to get, a
plentiful supply of the very
best of it. Gainesville is in the
highlands; practically in the
mountains. In Hall county and
the surrounding counties of For-
PROGRE3SIVE GAINESVILLE.
Gainesville is moving. She is
going at a rapid and steady gait
and is attaining to greater things
every year. '
Recently the Vesta Mills, of
Charleston, determined to increase
their capital from $250,000 to
$500,000 and offered to remove to
Gainesville if the people of that
city would take $100,000 of the
£500,000 stock.
Within a few days after this
proposition was made Gainesville
subscribed not only the lequisite
$100,000, but went $5,000 over the
market.
The beautiful and ambitious city
on the hills fifty miles from us
has already a $1,000,000 cotton
mill nearing completion. With a
$500,000 mill in addition to this
concern Gainesville will take high
