White Women and Girls Strike Because
of the Employment of Negro Help.
ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 5.-Two hun
dred women and girls employed at the
Fulton bag and cotton mills in this
city, struck Wednesday morning be-
cause of the employment of Negro help
by the management. The operatives
learned Tuesday that 25 colored women
were to be put to work in the folding
department Wednesday. The white
females employed in the mills gather
ed about the main entrance Wednes-
day morning and awaited the arrival
of the president Mr.. Jacob Elsas. The
newly employed Negro women were
already there. When Mr.. Elsas came
the white women explained that they
wanted to know whether it was true
that he proposed to put Negroes to
work with them. He said that he did,
and the white women refused to go to
work.
At noon the 400 men employed in the
mills walked out in obedience to the
orders of the Textile Workers union
and in sympathy with the striking fe-
male operatives. This forced the clos
ing down of the factory. Strikers
gathered in angry groups about the
mills, and for time it looked as if
there might be riot
The Fulton Bag and Cotton mills is
one of the largest concerns of the kind
operating in the south. The corpora
ton is successor to the old firm OF
Fleas, Fay & Co., and Jacob Fleas is
its president. About 200 men, women
and children are affected by the strike.

STREET SCENES IN BRENNAN
A Little Third Ward Diversion Monday
Morning.

Skinny Seals, of Somerville,
was in the city Monday. Like
wise Joe Emperor of nowhere
in particular. They have been
lifelong enemies, and have fol-
lowed each other with causeless,
bitter and remoreless hate, each
waiting until opportunity should
give him the best of it. They
met face to face in the vicinity of
Haubelt Bros. establishment, and
tried to arbitrate the aged feud,
Each expressed his opinion of
the other in language more for
chile than polite. The air be-
came impregnated with great
hunks of Somerville slang and
Brennan Billingsgate. The round
opened with both principals
sparring cautiously and each
waiting for the other to become
the aggressor. Seals led with
his right for the jaw and landed
lightly. Emperor recovered and
countered on the ribs. The next
round opened with rushes and
close in fighting on the part of
each. Jab and counter jab, up
per and under cuts, feints, leads
and breakaways followed in
quick succession. Round three
opened with both men slightly
groggy and Emperor bore I'M
mistakable evidence of being ra-
pidly put to sleep. The first
blood-'twas from the nose-was
placed in the Seals column and
the beginning of the end was ap-
preaching. In an unguarded
moment Emperor left his solar
plexus exposed. Seals saw the
opportunity, followed it up, land
ed a terrific blow just south of
his antagonists heart, and was
proclaimed champion of the free
State of Burleson by every mem

mical and best plan. Buy your
own outfit secure the services of
a good man and pay him by the
month. BY this means you can
use some of your present force
and save labor. When through
with outfit you could sell it; ard
if you should fail to secure a
supply of water on your own
premises, you could try in other
localities near you, or in other
parts of the city. If you can OBJ
tain good surface water or arte-
sian water in any part Of the
city, you could pipe the water to
your pumping station or move
pumps to the water if you found
it too expensive to pipe. This is
an after consideration which can
be easily adjusted after gettingI
the water. In conclusion will say
that if a supply of water can be
obtained at a depth of 100 to 800
feet, you will find it suitable for
all general purposes, and as this
water supply is of so much i'm
portance to the present and fu-
ture welfare of the city, nothing
should be left undone, within
your means, to accomplish this
end. Respectfully,

COUNTRY PRODUCE.

GOVERNOR BOB TAYLOR, at the
Dallas fair: ga new era of indus
trial growth and intellectual de-
velopment is breaking like the
glory of the morning upon US.
The symphonies and hallelujahs
of our centennial jubilee at Nash
vile are still falling like the soft
waves of a summer ocean upon
the glad hills of Tennessee, and
the reviving South is listening
with unutterable rapture to the
great industrial song of Texas;
and the symphonies and hallelu-
jahs of Tennessee and the tri-
umphant songs of Texas are
mingling in one glad anthem of
praise to God like the joyous
waters of many rivers that meet
and flow together and sing to the
sea- "The spirit of the Alamo
glorifies the brow of manhood,
and the blood of San Jacinto
warns the heart of courage and
reddens the cheek of beauty here
today. The dark-visaged demon
of savage hate which once lighted
the torch and brandished the
scalping knife, and spread his
flaming wings on the horizon,
has vanished from Texas for
ever. The white crested pillows
of Mexican wrath which once
rolled up from the south and then
rolled back again crimsoned with
blood were calimed long ago,
and the angel of peace is hover
ing over the land. Texas and
Tennessee worship together and
rejoice as one people in the tri-
umphs of the past and the prom
ises of the future"

'Richelieu," a grand histori-
cal drama of the Shakespearian
order and one that is often con-
sidered almost equal to works of
the great master, has been Sc
lected by Thomas W. Keene, the
eminent tragedian, for his ap-
pearance at the Opera House on
next Monday evening.
Mr.. Keene is accompanied by
Charles B. Hanford, who has
won distinction in classic plays
and complete supporting orga-
nization. History has given to
posterity the cruel, ambitious
priest; as INSCRIPTIONS as he was
daring and ambitious; but the
English playwright has turned
aside from stern historic. truth,
and shows US the wise minister,
the kind protector. man swift
to punish evil, kind, generous to
those he loved, ambitious only
for the welfare and national
grandeur of France.
The play of Richelieu is one
of great power, constructed on a
plot of absorbing interest, plot,
scene, and incident changing in
rapid succession. It is replete
with heroic sentiment; it's whole
trend as centered in the charae-
ter of Richelieu, being pure and
honest. The character of the
willy statesman and power-loving
prelate is depicted with such
lifelike intensity, that the spec
tator might almost imagine him.
self listening to that awful threat
of the curse of the Romish
Church, in the fourth act, which
has become one of the notable
passages in standard English
literature. Among other facts
worthy to be noted in the re-
markable impersonation of Rich
ellen by Mr.. Keene, is his make
up for the part. No more life
like portraiture of the man as he
lived, or as we may see in the
contemporaneous painting in the
Louvre, can scarcely be possible.
1t is as exact as study and art
can make it.
One of the charms of Mr..
Keene's productions is the real
ism as far as is possible, and the
attention which is bestowed on
all details of the stage, promi-
nently among which is the bril-
liancy and correctness of all
costumes.

this would bring up the cost to
81, 800 for three wells, or S10,00C
for four, or say $1,000 to bore
and equip the four wells with
deep pumps. Now these figures
are based on the presumption
that you would contract with the
present contractors now here
and on basis of well
just bored, which would
include strainer, casing and all
necessary labor. If you could
bore two additional wells at a
cost of 81, 900 each or say $1,000
each to a depth of $50 to 300 feet
and place strainers at a depth of
120 feet or at water bearing
Strata, and use an air compress
er Git is necessary to have the
depth of well about twice the
depth of the water bearing Strata
to enable the air compressor to
have a sufficient amount of sub
mergence to equalize the air and
water pressure to obtain the best
results) with a capacity to force
the water from all three wells
to the surface and store in wells
you now have, at cost of say
50, 500 for the air compressor.
This would reduce the cost of
pumps and wells, to say $4,000 to
So, 800, instead of $4,000 to $40, :
900 equipped for pumping water.
Now, if you should decide to
adopt this plan of boring one or
two additional wells to the depth
of $50 or 200 feet for deep well
pump or air compressor as the
case may be, and make the ex-
pertinent to see if two or three
wells would supply an equal
amount of water of 10000 gall
Ions each, or only the amount of
one well of 10000 gallons in "a
hours. In my opinion this sup
ply would naturally depend on
the amount of stored water in
the ground and the free giving
quality of sand or gravel you
have. If in coarse gravel or
sand you would probably get
more water from two to three
wells than from one, as you
would have a finer flow of water
passing through the strainer
openings, as your percentage
of strainer openings would be
much greater. If this water
Strata is in quick sand or even a
coarse sand your percentage of
strainer openings would gradu-
ally lessen by the small particles
of sand closing up the strainer
and with the deep well
pump system, this is a very bad
feature. Butwith the air system
it can be overcome to a great
extent by forcing the air through
the strainer openings which
clears the sand lodged in the
openings. This operation could
be repeated as often as neces-
sary to keep the strainer clear. q
would suggest that the Cook
strainer is the best one on the
market, as it is harder to choke
by sand or gravel and easier
forced out by air, when openings
are obstructed). If you should
decide to bore for an artesian
well to the depth of 1900 to 1000
feet at a probable cost of say
$1,000 to $4,000, q notice that
the present contractor wants
$4,000 in addition to the $1,000
all ready paid them to go 1000
feet, which is absurd, and not to
be considered as they naturally
would not guarantee anything
but to make a hole in the ground
1000 feet deep, and would not
any sufficient supply
Of water.) Now it looks to me
ike it would be economy for the
city in adopting either the sur
face wells or the artesian system
