his leg.
The shooting last night is consid-
cred sequel to volley alleged to
have been fired the night before into
picket post of strikers from En-
glpe liz on which a number of the
employees of the road were riding
The strikers did not reply to the
first volley and claim tina. last NIGHTS
shooting was begun hv c,n9iovccs of
the railroad from the c,h a switch
engine 10. The employees Who were
in the cab deny that they fired first
but admit returning the fire. About
one hundred shots are said to have
been exchanged between the men in
the engine cab and the strikers along
the tracks.
Immediately after the shooting.
numbers of strikers and employees of
the road began to throng the pas
senger station neighborhood many
OF them carrying rifles and shot
guns. Sheriff Dorminey immediate
ly put in an appeal for help to Gov
ernor Hardwick. He swore in about
thirty special deputies, most of them
employees of the railroad, and pro-
ceeded to disarm the strikers. They
submitted quietly to giving up their
weapons, asserting that they had
procured them for self protection
The employees of the road were Der
united to retain their weapons.
Warner burden and w. T, Whit
tie, strikers, were arrested for 'incit-
ing to riot" 1t was understood
at first that they were under suspic-
ion for having shot Reed. They
were not permitted bond last night.
A special train, heavily guarded by
railroad special agents and special
deputies, was sent to Cordele about
5 O'Clock this morning to bring the
three companies of militia. Two
companies from Macon and one from
Cordele constitute the force They
are under command of Col. H. D.
Russell of Macon.
The county commissioners yester-
day issued an order to the sheriff to
stop all lettering on the public high
ways which will in effect cause the
picket posts maintained by the strik-
ers to be abolished.
w. M. Martin and c. L. Fox, the
local strike leaders, have both been
out OF town several days and were
not here when the shooting occurred.

A SIS bill seems too little to pay for really
nice frocks Of voile or organdie.
And ordinarily it would not buy anything
nearly so nice as these.
But there is handful left from this higher
priced group, handful left from that, and so on,
until the aggregate Of handfuls makes quite an
assortment, each one Of them remarkable indeed
for its new low price of SIS.
~ A pretty rose-fowered organdie is one;
dainty blue-and-white voile with blue satin bands
is another; and the others are variously colored
organdies and voiles.
The important point is that many are quite
dainty and fine enough for afternoon wear, not
being the ordinary $5 dress at all.
Any one who wears sizes IA to 20 will find
her size among them.
