ALL QUIET SAVE
 LITTLE SKIRM MISH
MILITIA HAS ARRIVED IN NEW RIVER COAL FIELDS AND SOL DlERS ARE BEING SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

Thurmond, W. Va, August 2s.-Every- thing is quiet in the New River coal field tonight and has been quiet through out the day save a little sldrnish at Caperton, in which twenty or more shots were fired. but no one injured. The en- tire Second regiment state militia has ar rived and are being distributed about various coal operations where on yester- day trouble resulted. Three companies of militia will be stationed at Rush Run, two miles west, where on yesterday prob- ably 600 shots were fired across the New river between strikers and guards. The strikers opened fire on non-union men going to work and the guards returned the fire. None of the guards was in- jured and so far as known no strikers were seriously hurt
 The strikers gathered in the wood lands and rocky cliffs on the opposite side of the New river from Rush Run mines and kept up continual fire through out tho day. This led to the militia be- ing ordered out Sheriff Daniel thinks that more serious trouble will soon fol- low. He says the strikers are becoming more determined and that 1t was ab solutely impossible for him to cope with the situation. Almost every mine on the Kanawaha and New river is being op- erated on a small scale. In these fields probably two miners are at work and six or eight thousand idle Considerable property has already been destroyed and it is believed that the sending of troops will tend to enrage the strikers more than ever and bloodshed may soon re- suit The operators are determined and state emphaticaly that they have no in tention of conceding to a single demand made by the strikers.

Official Returns Indicate Ma jOtity of 25OOO for JeIks
HEFLIN APPEARS TO WIN
Garber Is Leading Race for Attorney General, But Second Primary May Be Necessary-Fiill Is
 Ahead of Cory.

Official returns from Mondays primary received by The Age-Herald last night from forty-six counties insure ma Jority for Governor Jelks of nearly 25,- 0O0
 The total vote cast in the forty-six counties as shown by the returns, was BS,17s
 The remaining twenty counties have not cast a heavy vote, and their total will hardly carry the grand total much above 5000. The majority for Governor Jelks over former Governor Johnston in the counties reporting is 1S.s0i St. Clair county, which was reported yesterday in the Johnston column finally drops into the Jelks column with fourteen majority.
 Forty counties reporting for lieutenant governor. give R. M. Cunningham S3,6e1 and Charles E. Waller 1S,113, majority for Cunningham of 15.57S. This is prac- tically the same ratio as the governor ship.
 Forty-three counties reporting to The Age-Herald give J. Thomas Heflin a lead over both of his opponents for secretary of state, ang' seems to insure his nomi- nation in the first primary. His total vote in the forty-three counties is given at 29,99s, Frank N Julian II, 1s1 and James L. Tanner 9o5s. This gives Heflin a ma jority over both of 3164.
 There is no nomination for attorney general or superintendent of education. Alex M. Garber of Talladega Is leading for attorney general by plurality of about 2OOO. I. W. Hilyl of Etowah leads for superintendent by several thousand votes.

its tributaries comes the report that
the Grabbing industry, which is sec.
ond only to the oyster industry, is
rapidly waning, and unless some-
thing is done to protect the industry
it will soon be thing of the pass in
Maryland. Thousands of small
boats are employed and thousands
of people earn a livelihood by catch.
ing crabs during the month of July
and August On the Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries.
The catch of crabs has bsen very
small, and the price has been adj
vanced 20 cents per hundred for
counts The scarcity has caused
those who ship the prepared crab
meat to buy all the undersizs crabs
at low figure.
Thous nds OF these are caught
daily, and thus the regular size
crab will soon be gone aud no
small ones are coming on. But
that which does more than all else
to exhaust the supply for the future
is the. catching Of the female crab.
