problem of abolition of the sweating

would force the workers out of the
tenements into shop buildings where
state legislation can reach them

GUNS AT THE POLLS.
Tie Election Contest at Byron, Ga.
Results i'm BIOOdshed.


AMERICUS, Ga; Jan. 17.-For over
tWenty-four hours the village of Byron.
IN Houston county, has been in a state
OF riot, in which four men, Messrs C. c.
Richardson, G. L. Bateman G.. c..
Rateman and r. H. Baskies were shot
and others held in terror. The
trouble grew out of an election for
municipal offices, held two weeks ago.
Which resulted in tie, the town divid-
ing into two factions, and charges of
fraud being freely interchanged be,
tween the leaders. A second election
was called for yesterday to decide the
contest, In which every voter was
brought UP to the polls, not a change
taking place in the political alignment.
thus causing a fear of second tie,
which was actually the result. The
leaders of the factions were Charles
l.. Bateman and @. G. Richardson. I'm
fortunately they approached the polls
at the same moment, when personal
collision took place in which shot
guns were produced. Their followers
made q rush home for arms and in a
few moments the village street pre-
sented a Warlike scene. The lady tele-
graph operator abandoned her key in
terror and thus for hours the outside
world was cut off from communication.
The arrival of the sheriff about dark
restored comparative peace, but at 9
p. M, the trouble was renewed, and at
the ringing of the school bell the entire
population was once more in the street
The sheriff succeeded in establishing
his authority, but the feud, now start
ed. especially since the election has to
be held over again, is looked upon as
one to result in further bloodshed.
