COT TON MILL HANDS
STRIKE AT AUGUSTA
Eight Hundred Employees at
King Mill Walk Out.
INCREASE IN WAGES DEMANDED

If the Trouble Is Not Adjusted by
Tuesday Night All the Other Big
Mills Will Be Closed, Throwing
10000 People Out of Work.
Augusta, Ga, April Eight hun.
ton mills here went on strike this
morning for 10 per cent increase in
wages. The strike is being conducted
from Fall River by one of the national
officers of the Textile Workers asso
citation.
All other mills in this district will
continue to run until Tuesday night
II by that time the trouble in the King
mill is not settled, the Manufacturers
association will close down every mill
in Augusta. Aiken, Vancluse, Warren
vile, Bath, Langley and Clearwater,
throwing 10000 people out of employ
ment. The strikers claim they will
win in two weeks, because they wait
ed until all the mills had large rush
orders on hand. This is denied by the
mill owners. The best of order pre-
walls.
The committee appointed by the
president of the chamber of commerce
at the initiation Of that body, to confer
with the mill operatives failed to ac-
complish anything. A conference was
held between the committee and the
operatives at the Red Mems Hall Sat
urday evening. The committee repre-
sented to them that the mill authori-
ties had consented to leave the mat
ter to arbitration, and they urged the
operatives to defer the strike a week
or ten days to allow this committee
or one chosen by the operatives, If
they preferred, to go over the matter
fully and make its report. 1t was rep
resented to the operatives that this
could not weaken their case if they
should feel compelled to strike after
such investigation and report had been
made, but on the contrary would
strengthen them with the public. If
they had been ordered from headquar-
ters to strike they were urged to wire
stating the case and asking for in
structions.
The proposition of the committee
and the argument of it's various mem
bers urging its adoption was patiently
listened to by the operatives, who then
went into executive session and later
returned written answer under the
seal of the district council. This was
to the effect that strike having been
ordered. after having been once post
poned, to take effect Monday, this
would have to be done unless the de-
mand of the union was complied with.
A postponement for any cause was
impossible, as other places were await
ing the settlement of this question
here
1t was felt that nothing more could
be done to avert the strike. There
was rush of non-union members to
join, as it was given out that only
union members would share in the
strike benefits, and until a late hour
Saturday night new members were re-
ceiyed into the textile union and old
members reinstated.

SHAH TO VISIT KAISER.
Persian Ruler Planning Trip to tn
ConfinAnf

Persian Ruler Planning Trip to the
Continent.
Berlin, April 7.-Ofhcial circles here
confirm the report that the shah of
Persia will visit Berlin in May and will
pay his respects to Emperor William.
The shah is going to Centrexville,
France, for his health, and inquired of
the authorities at Berlin whether his
visit would be acceptable to his majes-
ty, who answered affirmatively. The
visit was designed to take place last
summer, but was postponed owing to
the mourning for the late DOwager
Empress Frederick. The shah will
probably come to Berlin by way of
St. Petersburg. So far as Germany
is concerned the visit is devoid of po-
litical significance.
The officials here repudiate the as
sertions in the British press that Ger
many is endeavOring to establish her
interest in Persia between the British
and Russian riva1ries in that coun-
try.

Folkston, Ga, April II. G. Nc
Lean was shot and instantly killed by
Frank Robinson near Traders Hill, in
this county, Saturday afternoon.
From the best information obtaina-
BILE at this time it seems that there
had been some little difference be-
tween the parties some days ago,
when Mclean had cursed Robinson.
Saturday afternoon they met on the
public road and Robinson demanded
retraction of what had been said,
which was refused.
Robinson, it is claimed, then fired
at close range with -barreled
shotgun.
Robinson has not been arrested up
to this time. Mclean was a promi-
nent Mason and one of the best farm
ers of this section.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

is tie one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system etfectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers

stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weak ening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
