Interviews with the various mill presidents yesterday showed the out* look in Augusta to be gioomy enough and unless tbe price of cotton falls within the next few days hundreds of operatives will be thrown out of employment Several of the mills have little cotton on hand, but when that is consumed a shut down is almost inevitable President Chatten repeated in sub stance his statement to the Chronicle the night before The Sibley mills would take advantage of the high price of cotton and shut down for repairs on the wheel, which might possibly consume two or three weeks time The King mill has also posted a notice for a two weeks shut down. Mr Stewart Fhinizy, president of the Augusta factory, said he had cotton enough on hand to run for a week or two and that no actiou would be taken this week Mr T I Ilickman, for the Granite ville Mfg Co, said they would con tinuo to run as long as they could "swap dollars," in order that they might give the operatives employ? ment, but if the situation became critical, of course the interest of the stockholders would have to be con? sidered. No iDBtructiona have been received regarding the Southlaud mill. Mr James Verdery, president of the Enterprise, said that if the cotton goods prices did not improve, at tbe present price of cotton, the mills all over the country would be compelled to shut dowu Mr Chester Clark stated that no action had been takeu in regard to shutting down the Globe mill. Mr Thomas Barret said that the Aiken Mfg Co would continue to run on full time, but a notice would be posted next week that the Langley mill would ruu on half time.

In speaking on this subject Mr Lawrence said : "1 have never seen such a change of political sentiment in any city as that which 1 faced in New York. Fours years ago Bryan's name was scarcely mentioned?everything was McKinley Now there is nothing but Bryan talk Everywhere a per son goes be encounters Bryan pic? tures, Bryan badges and Bryan talk. Every sign indicates that Bryan will sweep the city 1 did not meet any of the State politicians, but the city is surely for tbe Nebraskan "Another thing that is surely true in connection with tbe coming eiec tion. is that the traveling men, the drummers, are going for Bryan by a largo majority Nearly 9ti per cent of them will be democratic on ac count of the republican party foster ing the trusts. 1 notice that right here iu r.iy own hotel 1 talk with the met. who stop here aud nearly everyone of them will vote agaiust McKinley and trusts You can read all the republican literature you please about the drummers being Hulid for McKinley but its all a fake The travelling men are for Bryan nnd I don't you forget it."?Augusta Chronicle. ???mmmM? ???? ?MmWMMmmm^?-.
