ANOTHER AUGUSTA
STRIKE Threatened

AUGUSTA, Ca, March 10.-In accord
ance with plan promulgated some time
ago a demand has been made upon the
King mill by the operatives for an
advance of 10 per cent in wages, said ad-
vance to be put in operation not later
than the 18th instant. Refusal to grant
this demand, it is understood, is to be fol-
lowed by a strike.
While the mill authorities have made no
official declaration 1t is known that the
demand of the operatives will not be
granted. 1t is claimed that the mills have
not made money during the past year.
some of them now running a part of the
time at a loss, and that they are in no
condition to raise wages now. Should the
operatives of the King mill strike. then
all the mills in this district will be closed.
The mills are all united and a strike in
one mill will be followed at once by a
lockout in all the others, and a strike
more disastrous than the great strike of
1898 would be. precipitated, for in that
strike several Of the mills continued to
run all the time.
Efforts are being made by citizens to ef-
feet an amicable understanding between
the operatives and mill arrangements, for
a stubborn strike of several months du-
ration would be a calamity to the whole
city.

AN EFFORT TO SETTLE
SOUTHERN RAILWAY STRIKE

An early settlement of the strike of the
machinists on the Southern Railway ap-
pears very probable 1t is the belief Of
the officials that within the next two or
three weeks the men will be back in
their places. ma.
1t is learned from positive sources that
Henry F. Garrett, lof the Western and
Atlantic shops. who is a member of the
city council. and G. A. Wickersham, pres
ident of the Atlanta and West Point rail-
road, will leave for washington during
the latter part of the present week for
the purpose of meeting officials of the
Southern railway at that place.
They were to have gone last week, 1t is
learned, but were delayed because of the
fact that President Samuel Spencer, of the
Southern. was engsged in other matters.
The fact that President Wickersham,
of the West Point. and Mr.. Garrett have
been working In, the matter has been kept
very secret. Very few Of the members Of
the local union of machinists knew that
the settlement was being talked of, and
a less number have known that President
Wickersham was aiding the strikers in the
matter.
Senator Mark Hanna has also interested
himself in the strike, and is said to be do
ing everything in his power to bring the
railroad and the machinists together.
In this connection 1t is said that
General Manager Frank S. Cannon. of the
Southern railway is opposed to making
terms with the strikers, and has stated
that if the strike is settled over his head
he will tender his resignation.
This apparently lends color to the ru-
mors that have been in circulation for
some time to the effect that President
Wickershan, of the Atlanta and West
Point, will succeed General Manager Gan
non, of the Southern railway.

All efforts 10 check them were unavailing-
Major Paris collected forty men and occu-

MURDER MYSTERY
IN C0FFEE'S DEATH?

MACON, Ca, March 10.-Messrs. j. ID.
and Dan Coffee yesterday exhumed the re-
mains of the man found dead in the
swamp last week, and they positively
identified the body as that of their broth
er, Mr. Mike ]. Coffee, a plumber who dis
appeared last December, and who has not
since been heard from.
The undertaken who dressed the body
for another burial discovered the skull
had been crushed at a place near the
crown, and on the left side. County Ply
stefan Worsham was called to make an
examination, and he said there was no
doubt that blow had caused the death,
and that it had been inflicted with an iron
stick or bludgeon of some kind. He said
that the blow was inflicted by some one
who stood facing the victim.
The Coffee brothers say they have a sus-
picion and will lay the facts before the
next grand jury, If nothing develops IN
the meantime. They wanted coroner s
inquest held yesterday. but 1t was found
that an inquest had been held when the
body was first discovered, and although
that inquest accomplished nothing, there
was no provision of law for another. and
it was not held.
The-b body was reburied in Rose Hill Gem
etery, Father Mcdonald officiating.

NEGROES
GOING TO LIBERIA
THREE HUNDRED NOW LIVING
NEAR BIRMINGHAM EXPECT TO
GO NEXT SUMMER.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 1.-THE
Liberian Colonization Society, of Birm-
ingham, hopes to be able to send party
of two or three hundred negroes to Mon
rovia, Liberia, this spring. D. ]. Flum-
mer, general manager of the company, is
now on his way from Liberia, where he
went in the interest of the movement,
hoping to secure aid from the Liberian
government.
a newspaper published in Liberia is at
hand and 1t contains an account Of the
arrival of Flummer at Monrovta and a
speech which he delivered before a joint
meeting of the senate and house OF rep
resentativs of Liberia, in which he dis
cussed the emigration movement.
The paper did not say whether he was
given governmental aid or not and this
will probably not be known until Flum-
mer arrives here. The company was CIV
en- an appropriation some time ago for
the purpose of aiding in buying ship.
This was the sum of $4,000. One thing
which Flummer sought to have brought
about was an arrangement by which this
money could be used in transporting the
negroes instead of in buying ship.
