TWO MORE MILLS SHUT DOWN.
SIX Thousand People Now Out of En-
ploymcnt i'm Augusta.

AUGUSTA. GA. December A.-The
Augusta and Enterprise cotton factories
OF this city, closed down indefinitely this
afternoon adding about three thousand
more to the unemployed of the city. Five
weeks ago, the Southern Manufacturers
Association reduced the wages of the
mill operatives. Those OF the King and
Sibley mills, in this CITY, and the Lang
ley and Bath mills, in South Carolina,
refused 10 accept the cut. The employees
Of the Augusta and Enterprise factories,
returned TO work at the reduced scale,
but because of an agreement entered into
by the Southern Manufacturers Associa-
ton, the last-named mills were com
PEELED TO close down in order TO force the
striking operatives in the other mills to
return to work.
There are in the neighborhood Of six
thousand people in and around this city
out OF employment because Of the wage
reduction and the shutting down of the
mills.

Truth OF History.

COLUMBUS. O.. December 2.-Oficials
OF the penitentiary to-day succeeded in
finding a knife that was probably secret-
ed by Thomas w. Bullet, of Louisville,
KY. who was one Of the Morgan Raid
ers. who was imprisoned with the famous
Confederate in the prison during the
civil war. and was one Of the number to
escape from the prison. Mr.. Bullet re-
Gently told how and where he had SCI
creted the knife, and expressed the be-
lief that 1t was stlll in the place whers
he put it years ago. II was said thas
the knife was one OF fourteen which tho
prisoners OF war had made, and that IL
was hidden when the fact Of the possess
sion Of the knives was exposed.
The place of concealment was said 10
have been an airshaft used as a venti-
lator and after perslsetnent search the
knife was found at the bottom, where It
had dropped at some time after the
Raiders had left the prison. 1t was rust
eaten, and the handle. of wood. had
nearly rotted away. a second knife was
also found In the tunnel.
SETTLES A QUESTION.
The discovery Is Of especial interest.
since it settled much-mooted point-ths
means Of escape of the prisoners. The
most Of the prison officials believe that
the first knife Is the ono described by
Mr.. Bullet, and II that be true. IL provex
beyond question that the Morgan raiderf
made their escape. as has always been
claimed, by the tunnel route, and not by
the aid or cOnnivance of any OF the pri-
son officials This point is given em-
phasis, too, by the fact. as stated by Mr..
Bullet that the Raiders took no stock"
I'm Warder Marion, in fact. disliked him.

be- known, for the truth OF history. ard

Two hundred baskets of provisions were
distributed yesterday among the worthy
poor of this city by the mobiles of Acca
Temple Since the organization Of the
Shrine in this city it has been the annual
custom Of the knights TO feed the poor on

meat Cards had previously been distri-

the most needy families in Richmond and
upon presentation Of these cards the bas-
kets were delivered.
Some of the scenes witnessed during the
distribution hours yesterday were almost
heartrending Old men came for their
baskets and departed with fervent God
bless you; dOwn-cast women who have
long suffered the pangs Of hunger and the
prvations Of poverty, came and went
made temporarily happy in the thought
of the comfort in store for them, and then
there were people who came for baskets
who had seen better days, and who APP
peared somewhat abashed at being forced
TO accept charity. The kind-hearted
Shriners had kind words for all, however.
and as far as in their power lay made
their visitors feel at home.
