Nomnate n Negro for the Legislature,
AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 25.-There was a
great stir in mill matters to-day. 1t was
learned early in the morning that a car
load OF operatives were on their way TO
the city to go to work in the Augusta
Factory, and excitement was at fever
heat when the Atlantic Coast Line train
rolled into the city. The report proved
true, and 26 men alighted from the train,
but they did not go 20 work. As
soon as they learned that the strike lock-
out was Knight OF Labor move they
fatty refused to go TO work, and asserted
that they had been brought South by mis-
representation, and that bad they known
that there was any trouble between labor
and capital they would not have come to
Augusta.
KNIGHTS TO A MAN.
They are Knights of Labor to man,
and evidently came TO Augusta under a
misrepresentation OF affairs. Last Monday
X. NJ. Blanchard, of the Augusta factory,
went to Paterson, N, j., aud secured their
services, under the pretense, they say, of
having them go to work In a new factory.
The Knights OF Augusta are elated at this
state Of affairs, and are taking good care
OF their Northern brethren. The latest
phase OF the affair is that the men who
came here will institute legal proceedings
against the Augusta Factory to compel it's
officers to pay their fare back to Paterson.
Others, who were on the road to go 20
work IN Augusta, have been telegraphed
to return home.
