RIOTING IN AUGUSTA STRIKE.
MObs Make Desperate Efforts to At
tack NOn-UniOn Carmen.

Augusta, Ga, Sept. 26.-The fire
department was ordered out tonight
to dispense a mob Of strike sympa-
thiZers who gathered at the power
plant Of the local street railway COM
pany, threatening violence to strike
breakers.
One strike breaker was injured and
two others rushed away in an auto
mobile from the power plant.
The chief Of police has ordered all
the reserves on duty.
Serious Proportions.
The strike has rapidly developed
into more serious proportions than
had eve been thought Of, and the
reason for the very serious situation
Is the threatened strike of all the
labor union men Of this city.
At a meeting Of the Augusta Fed
GRAFTON Of Trades held last night a
committee was appointed to wait on
Mayor Barrett and demand that the
policemen be taken off the cars. Po-
licemen have been used on the cars
recently to protect the non-union mo-
tormen and conductors. The ulti-
matum to the mayor is, in substance,
that unless the policemen are taken
off the cars there will be a general
strike. Mayor Barrett has not as yet
met the committee, but he has given
advance information to the effect
that he will do all he can to protect
the motormen and conductors, and
that If the railway company is ready
to run cars the employees Of that
company shall be protected.
There seems nothing in sight but
a sympathetic strike Of all crafts, for
the resolutions Of the Federation OF
Trades were to the effect that such
a strike would be declared If the de-
mands of the labor men were not
complied with.
After the meeting Of the labor men
last night In which addresses were
made by leading local 10 Dor men and
also by National Organizer Cornelius,
Of the street car men, there was a
parade on the principal streets Of the
city in which about 500 men, repre-
senting every trade, participated. The
mayor and all Of the city officials re-
sponsible for the placing Of police
men on the cars were denounced at
the meeting, and it was voted unani-
mously to stick to the carmen to the
end, both molally and financially.
Three Shot by Troops.

known that a dead line had been cs-
tablished. 1t is said hat the militia

was far more quiet than those which
preceded it. the net result being the
adoption Of the following resolution,
which has bccn telegraphcd to Gov

withdrawal of the troops.

A RECORD CORN CROP
YEARS YIELD is OVER THREE
BILLION BUSHELS.
Department of Agriculture Report
Shows Value of Farm Produce
Greatest in History.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-A corn crop of 3,169,-
$4,000 bushels, or 2S1 1921 900 bushels
more than the greatest crop of corn
ever grown in any country of the
world, is the feature of the country's
most remarkable agricultural year in
history, according to the November
crop report of the federal department
of agriculture.
The report completed the govern
ment's preliminary estimate of the ma
tional principal farm crops. This
sreat crop of corn was worth, Novem-
Ter 1, to farmers, $1,S5O,776,000.
The enormous sum of $4,171, $4,000
represented the farm value on Novem-
Der 1 of the crops of corn, hay, wheat,
oats, potatoes, barley, flax seed, rye
and buckwheat. With the value of
these growing cotton crops and the
crops of tobacco, rice and apples, the
aggregate value of these principal
farm products will amount well be-
ycnd $4,000, 100000.
Record crops of corn, potatoes, flax
seed, oats, barley, rye and hay were
harvested this year.

Washington.-Thea announcement Of
the success of Harry Lane, the Dem

egon, assures Democratic control Of
the upper House Of Congress and
places both branches of the national

Tho Democrats make positive
claims concerning some of these states
but whatever the result in any or all
of them, Democratic control of the
Senate is assured.
With twenty-five districts yet to hear
from, the Democrats will have 296

CHAPTER M.
The Fete and Mischianza.

/ confess that up to this time l had
experienced little interest in. the af-
fair. After Valley Forge it was hard
such boys play, or to enter into the
spirit of British fun making. BESIDES
the danger of my position, the fear
Of some slip of tongue betrayipg me,
the knowledge that / was in the very
heart of the enemy's camp, with grim.
stern duties to perform and a return
journey to accomplish, kept me nerved
to point where ] thought of little
else than my task. But now / dared
not remain Indifferent, and, indeed, the
enthusiasm of my companions became
contagious, and / joined with them
eagerly. as they hurried forth to the
best point of view. Once there the
sight revealed aroused me to an en-
thusiasm scarcely less than that of
those crowding about. Few, indeed,
have ever witnessed so gorgeous a
spectacle as that river presented.
Well ous in the stream lay the YES
sells Of war-the Fanny, Roebuck and
1
transports, stretching as far as the
eye could see. flags flying, and decks
crowded with spectators. The pageant
came down with the tide, moving in
three divisions to the inspiring music
of several bands, the oars OF galleys
and barges keeping exact intervals.
AS they passed us the officers beside
me named the various occupants. In
the leading galley were Sir William,
Lord Howe. Sir Henry Clinton, the Of
ficers of theft suites and some ladies'.
In the last of the boats stood General
4 Knyphausen, the Hessian commander.
BetHeen these were iat-boats, covered
with green cloth, loaded with ladies
and gentlemen, or else containing
bands. Six barges, darting here aud
there. kept open space amid the
swarfns of small boats. Everywhere
the eye swept over a riot of color, and
The ear caught babel of sound. Az
