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 bueiuess lfjBush in this the country.
